Carenado Piper Jetprop, Arizona to Southern California

Featured Replies

Took a nice realtime flight from Phoenix, AZ to Santa Ana California. Along the way I made a few tweaks to the Carenado aircraft, noticed FF was a little high compared to the aircraft charts, so I adjusted the FF scalar to compensate. Something to do while I soared in the Flight Levels over the Sonoran desert. The scenery was generated by Tileproxy, hope you like the screenshots.

Awesome shots, love em!

Nice images - thanks for sharing!

 

Two questions if you don't mind. I wonder if you've tried any of the better photoreal options and have any thoughts on how your Tileproxy results compare to something like, say Blue Sky's Chili Series.

 

I'm also curious where you ended up setting your FF scaler on the JetProp and if you're satisfied with the results. I've reduced mine as well, but I don't think I've got it right yet. FF still seems high, at least in the flight levels. Not sure about down lower.

 

Again, thanks for sharing,

I see the Colorado river and lake Mathews....great shots as real as it gets!

To reply to your questions, I tried several of the photoreal options in Tileproxy, I settled on these because they stay caught up to airliner jet speeds (although I only flew that way once, flew from Phoenix to Orlando). The reason they stay caught up is I sacrifice the highest res. textures in exchange for medium high all the way out to thirty miles. I keep my vis limited to thirty miles, so the textures just blend nicely into the distance. I haven't used the Bluesky scenery--I bought my PC and FSX together three years ago, installed Tileproxy and was set. I arrived at my Tileproxy settings after about two months of use. My cfg is posted in a recent set of screen shots if your interested in looking at what I did.

 

I set the fuel flow scalar to 1.16. Now I only calibrated the fuel flow for 220kts at FL 270. The fuel flow hovers at right around the chart numbers of 25.8 gph. So the FF may be off at other settings. I prefer flying as high as the Malibu allows.

 

Hope this answers your questions!

 

Regards,

 

John

Your going to have to service your new Malibu shortly there John, shes working overtime. :biggrin: Excellent shots!!

Thanks for the followup information, John. Much appreciated. Yes, the flow is likely going to go haywire elsewhere as you adjust, but I agree with trying to optimize for your typical cruise flight settings at the possible expensive of some inaccuracies elsewhere. I'll continue to experiment.
