....so that it properly display the left radio side.

There's no way to display it 'properly' as the real T-38 never had and never will have a GNS430.I don't know why you insist that an unrealistic crutch needs to resemble an expensive 3rd party add-on GPS.

We only added those for people who are er.. uh... too lazy to figure out how to do it "old school".

Of course I've never seen a (currently flying) WWII bomber, as well as most fighters.............that don't have a handheld GPS hidden away somewhere, for traveling across the country.. :( L.Adamson

I'd say that's a wise decision to include some 'unrealstic' popup-only gauges for the folks looking for e. g. a GPS or an AP on the first flights.Since it only shows up when using the Shift-3 keys, you don't distract the guys going real, but you allow all others to cheat here and there if needed. That's a sim, no installation where only trained folks operate the plane.For me, another aspect of a well planned FSX project.If this possibility wouldn't exist, I could bet that some guys would ask for it, which is perfectly ok of course. Now the devs already saw that demand, so they've included some gauges. Nice work.I've excluded the gauges in the panel.cfg since I've trained some navs on other birds and now can't even cheat, even if I wanted too. Everybody is free to do the same then if he wants to get rid of the additional gauges.

How unrealistic the GNS430 might be in this specific plane, MILVIZ is openly lying to whoever read these forums that the "broken" GPS that he so conviently added for the lazy bunch, is comming from default FSX... Well, that is not, unless he can proof me wrong.. but it will take a new version of FSX to make that happen and it is not going to happen quicklySo if he can so easily bend the truth and customers can see that, how do he want customers to respect his product.THAT IS WHAT IT IS ABOUT.. he could not even added a proper working GPS for us lazy asses. So my next question what else is broken and what silly reason is he going to give for that, if you really want to force the issue at hand.If Milviz can come here with the proof that the GNS he added is comming from FSX, then I will openly agree here I was wrong, but untill he can proof it let his customers know that he have a broken (not properly displaying) GNS in his plane and I was merely pointing it out that it is missing some background bitmap or coded background... so he just need to go ask the guy where he got it from why it is not displaying properly, but PLEASE, dont lay the problem before default FSX.. :(

THAT IS WHAT IT IS ABOUT.. he could not even added a proper working GPS for us lazy asses.

If you don't have the T-38, how do you know that it's not working?

A picture tells a thousand words.. It does not take much more then and idiot to see that not all background of radio section is not being displayed properly..! Oh maybe COOLIP just used some photoshop.. dont think so..maybe you should take a closer look again.and still the GNS430 is definately still not coming from default FSX as is implied, working or not... :(

let me see if I get this straight: you are saying that the position of the GPS in the VC is incorrect? you are also saying that it's missing a texture... you are also saying that it doesn't work? you are also saying that I am a liar?Ok... first things first:1) the GPS doesn't exist in the T-38A. We added it for people who like that kind of thing. It was not, afaik, coded by us.2) it may well be missing a texture. If so, and it was on coolip's system that the pic was taken, it's entirely possible that he's not got that texture. I believe, though I may well be wrong, that we do NOT include that texture set nor the gauge in our installer...3) it does indeed work as I have just tested it.4) Calling me a liar is an interesting idea. How am I lying to you and everyone else? by saying that what you are looking at is the default gauge? it is the default gauge. The code is the same. The look maybe not what you expected or wanted.. but the code is default.And btw, if we had coded a new GPS and included it with the product, and it does work, but it doesn't look exactly like the real GPS... wow. Who cares? It's a 2D pop up not integral to the VC and is to allow for people who don't want to do the math to fly the plane long distances... that's it. Don't like them? It is possible for YOU to put your own in if you wish.We do our best by our customers but being called a liar by someone who isn't even that is, well... difficult, to say the least.So, now that we have that out of the way, anyone else like the plane?

No I have not say anything about the position in the VC. I only commented about the popup picture that was displayedI have said it is missing a texture (actually better description is bitmap), therefore it is not working 100% thus it can be safely assumed then that it is broken, because if everyhing is not shown propper;y how can it be 100% working orderI never said it was coded by you, but I do call you a liar, for saying the GNS is comming from default FSX and you just added that for us lazy bunch. That is a all but the truth. this gauge has not been part and parcel of FSX.Funny that the gauge would be in a cab file so how can COOLIP cab file miss this bitmap used in the gauge but in all other installations it is working 100%. :Whistle:AND NO SIR, that is NOT default code sir and I have the proof for that. DO you? Is is based on 90% of the default gauge but it is NOT the default gauge code and still proof to me that this gauge you got with that code/faceplate is part and parcel of FSX. if you can do that I am truely sorry for calling you a liar but unless you can do that, I do call you a liar. You might have got it from some developer but you definitely did NOT get it from FSX. It does not look like that in FSX. FACT is that you try and cover up by insinuating that is the default GPS when it is NOT. That is the issue really for me. The missing texture is really irrelevant to whoever use it, I merely tried to show that there is a discrepancy with what look to be otherwise a fantastic productSO no that we have taht out of the way:Yes we can add out own GPS that at least display all screen properly yes 95% of users will not mind the screen not being displatyed, but the perfectionists among us do mind especially in a higly regarded/rated product, then we expect everything to be good/above par.So you got proof or not to substantiate ur claim that the GPS in your plane it is comming from default FSX or not?I qoute for you"That comes straight from FSX. If it looks like that, it's because it looks like that in FSX""it is the default gauge. The code is the same" ....the same as which: GPS_500 or GPS_295 that came with FSX? :(

Mr. Milviz :( Whether the texture is missing or not, it certainly did not warrant the nasty approach taken by Mr. Right. I think maybe, judging by his post, he may have been slighted by another developer and the anger just carries over. The liar part was just a little too quick for me. Anyway, if we could get down to business and leave Mr. Nasty behind so we can get on with the fun that would be nice. I am really considering purchasing, but I am concerned about FPS. How would you compare, if you could/wouldm the fps hit as compared to most Carenado offerings, and then to something like the Realair Duke or even the L-39? This is the only way I can relate these days is to compare to planes which I own and know their Impact. Love the pics and you guys sound very dedicated.RegardsBob

FPS is certainly comparable to the L-39. We were consistently getting 29 to 30 (locked at 30) with a 4 ship MP. That should tell you something. As well, the AI package has over 30 planes on the deck and even with a two ship formation we were still getting 29-30 on lower end boxes. (soon to be released)It`s very good, and, if you buy it from our site, you have a 30 day money back guarantee. So buy it, try it; don`t like it, return it.Oh, and we totally try very hard to be as close to the reality as we can... 5 months of testing will attest to that...

I too deplore the aggressive approach adopted by bliksimpie which is puerile and totally uneccessary.To help resolve this, can some one tell me which default FSX aircraft uses the GNS430 and what the gauge file is called?

Yes please as I might have a lot of egg on my face if that is the case and even more if such a GNS430 do NOT display the radio section correct, because I have not seen it yet, where it is displayed like that in default FSX and my 100's of hours that I have spend on the good old 430 (freeware by the way) then that has just gone up in smoke for me.If someone can do that I formerly undertaken here to apologize to MILVIZ and then forever close my account here at AVSIM.So please can we get the experts out on this one as there is a lot of stake for me riding on this one.

Thanks much. I may give it a shot.Keep up the good work!RegardsBob

Framerate with the T-38 is even higher than with e.g. the Carenado Baron on my average system.BTW, forget bliksimpie, not too long ago he accused me of promoting piracy in a pm and immediately blocked my response, pretty weird.
