....... works just fine in DX10, all lights correctly functional, day dusk dawn and night. One superb model!

Thanks will try it out in the PNW area  B)

Actually...all lights not functional, the red beacon light on top of vert stab is in-op in DX10, works fine in DX9.  Others are reporting the same:

PS: Thanks so much paul for your DX10 guides...apples to apples in my test scenario I get 20FPS in DX9 and DX10 I get 30+ (not sure how much over 30 since i have it capped at that).  Silky smooth FPS also, where DX9 feels jittery at best.

just bought and installed it. Tomorrow or the next day I will load it up.

It works when viewed from the rear. This is strange.. :huh:

I'm thoroughly glad to hear it, Hawkeye! It's always a great feeling to hear of another user's positive experiences, as it validates one's own experience. I've flown, using DX10, just about every day for a couple of hours, sometimes more, since June/July of last year - and each time I get that "Wow!" feeling! Every time I lift off at Diamond Point I look at the water, I get a "Cheesh that looks good!". There are (a few) times where the frames dip into the low twenties - Anacortes, being one of them - but it never stutters, and if the red display thingy is off - I never, ever notice any dip! I cannot even remember when last I had an OOM. No - this experience was never available when using DX9.

 Anyway - you made my day, so many thanks!

 

All the Best,

re. the non-working beacon, I had this too, then I added in the "ballast" light fix found in Steves DX10 shader fixes which seems to have sorted the problem. Additionally, the nav lights now have a glow around them which was missing before. :smile:

Did A2A add DX10 cockpit shadows for their C172?  I own their accusim Cub, WoP3 P-51 and Spitfire; all completely excellent but lacking that extra oomph which that sliding shadow adds when your turning.  I gotta given carenado kudos for implementing this feature for all their aircraft. 

Hey Paul!

 

I was reading the FSX Forum about the A2A Cessna.  Are you sure you have it installed and working?  :lol:

 

Best regards,

Jim

Lol yeah I was thinking the same thing. Maybe the secret to a fully functioning one IS dx10 :dance:

Gimme 2 secs an' I'll have some piccies fer ya!

 

Back in a flash...

Oh ye of little faith!

 

OK, here they are - still uploading, and converted (sizewise) down a bit.. but still good.

All clickpoints work, it's a bit on the sticky side to get moving, but not like some others have found. My major beef is the float on landing - easy enough to adust in the air file, but before that, and to be truthful - I've never soloed a 172  as yesterdays flights were, but did an hour in the left seat in one, two or three years ago, with an instructor alongside. I shot a dozen pretty much flawless landings, including some short & steep ones, and never once experienced any float I will add a pax and see what happens tonight. I love the landing light, it lights the ground very realistically - I guess lessons learned from their S/W Lights Redux, etc.. The last few pics  are IFR, using ILS into CYYJ.

Very, very nice. Well worth the money.

Yep! I see cockpit shadows and they are glorious, I couldn't be happier to be switching to DX10 after years of DX9

Thanks Dave will try it out and report back how it goes

Excellent!!! I am sold, but not in a hurry at this moment...still breaking in my A2A Spitfire.

How did you do this, Dave? I did the same this morning, and now the red beacon flashes from the front - but not from the rear!!!! :huh:
