January 16, 200422 yr Really terrific scenery - Gary always does a great job. I'd love to have this but I fear that it will be too frame rate intensive for me.Bud
January 16, 200422 yr Nice!Will be interesting to see how the ground textures look from the cockpit. I personaly prefer the way OSS or FlyTampa are doing the ground but I definately will try it!Toby Regards, Tobias Kister
January 17, 200422 yr GuysJust installed the demo and spent a while just taxiing around. Takes your breath away. The word awesome is much misused these days but it sure applies to this scenery. I know this airport quite well and it is very very close to the real thing.To test the frame rates, I used some really foul weather - torrents of rain and clouds, used a dusk setting so got the lights effects, I've got Ult Traffic at 100%, so lots of planes about. OK - parked at the gate, there was very little difference from the default I use, maybe one or two frames. Once on the move it was a different story. Parts of the airport seem more f/r intensive than others and I found that to get a smooth ride, I had to taxi in spot mode in some locations. Overall I was surprised; given the superb quality of the scenery, I would have expected more of a crawl. It's certainly worth giving it a try.I've a P4 2.8 machine with 1 gig RAM and a G'ward Ti4600. I also run in full screen with multiple monitors which tends to depress frames in all circumstances.Well done Gary.Bud
January 17, 200422 yr Nice to see the Chancellor gets his 17.50% on downloads from Europe now (from 1 July 2003) I bet we're all pleased for him!
January 24, 200422 yr Downloaded the demo of this to test it out today....Bl00dy Hell...it's GOOD!!!! :) Amazing detail, I love the little trucks and vehicles that come to service the aircraft....and it runs well too...not TOO much of a hit on the fps over the original, which, I always liked, but this....it just looks so, er, alive!! I did delete the static aircraft .bgl to help smooth things out a little, plus, I don't like the way the static aircraft look....I use a mixture of FSTraffic and PAI with a dash of AI-Aardvark and FSP for AI and the statics stand-out like rows of very sore thumbs!! Apart from those though, this is, as the first poster claimed....Awesome!! I'm now off to Gary's website to make a payment for this little beauty!!I hope that other UK airports such as Gatwick, Birmingham, Liverpool etc, get a make-over of this class by Gary as I will certainly buy them too if he can do them :)
