On a side note, people were suggesting issues with FlyTampa airports, so far I have NOT been able to spot any (with DX10 Controller 1.1.26) ... can someone give me a specific problem with one of their airports so I can validate? 

 

St. Maarten was a big frame rate killer for me (worst case 11 fps ... not really sure why because I have other airports with considerably more objects that are usually 20-30 fps) but even so, aircraft was very flyable (fraps recordings take away about 1-2 fps).  But I didn't see any graphical issues night, dawn, day, or dusk.

 

Thanks, Rob.

I confirm, that there are no graphical issues in St.Marteen V1.5 (DX10). Regarding low fps: I propose to exchange the 3 scenery patch-bgl´s as highlighted in the corresponding FlyTampa St. Marteen forum. This solved the low fps issue close to the airport.

I still have issues at Montrayl FT's CYUL, but i may have to recheck, as i am not sure if i have properly updates all files needed for CYUL - and otherwise and since 1.1.26 all my other FT sceneries such as LOWW, KBOS, St. Marteen and OMDB work like a charm!

A SUPER improvement!

Thanks a million times Steve for the lates DX10 fix update!

Cheers, Christoph

Are you talking about this thread here: http://www.flytampa.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=6398&start=15

 

I'll have to test out those new files and also figure.  There also seems to be an issue with the AI traffic .BGL being compiled into FS9 format rather than FSX ... that would explain why having some issues ... looks like I need to find that file and rename it and remove the FS9 one.

 

 

 

I re-uploaded the 1.5 TNCM Complete Installer (Forum-thread or Downloads page) with the Saba and Barth Platform fixes as well as AI-Ships unchecked by default and a Performance warning. Also it now copies an additional AI-ship traffic BGL into scenery/world/scenery/Traffic_flytampa_aiship_22FJ_(FSX).bak which can be enabled by renaming the file.

I already had the new Saba and Barth, but renaming Traffic_flytampa_aiship_22FJ.BGL to Traffic_flytampa_aiship_22FJ_(FS9).BAK and then renaming Traffic_flytampa_aiship_22FJ_(FSX).BAK to Traffic_flytampa_aiship_22FJ.GBL solve the low fps issue (doubled my FPS around the area).  Here is a quick video I did of the FlyTampa St. Maarten area - huge improvement and I can't find any DX10 issues.

 

 

I'm checking FlyTampa Montreal and see if I can find anything.

I still have issues at Montrayl FT's CYUL, but i may have to recheck,

 

I did a late afternoon tour in the R66 -- I didn't see anything ... I'll test some more during dawn, dusk, night -- anything specific I should be looking for?

 

Quick video of FlyTampa CYUL (it a long video 13min, but it's a big airport -- much bigger than I remember it, I used to live in Dorval, Quebec).

Hi Rob!

Thank You very much for this great vid!

I am not sure, so i maybe have overseen it, as i had just quickly looked through the video, but at daytime all looks good and also the buildings at night - but(!) - i can't see PAPI lights and also taxiways appear to have no lights at night ... - for whatever reason.

But again saying: I will recheck as soon as possible and report back then - might take a few days though as i won't be at my FSX-PC (out of town so to speak over the weekend) - but i will certainly recheck and report back then!

Cheers, Christoph

Ok, I'll check that out and report back.

My TNCM is still only working in daytime...Night, dawn and dusk its looks very strange etc volumtric grass...

Have I wrong settings in my fixer..or is it still a issue at all with TNCM?

Ok, I'll check that out and report back.

 

Rob

Hi Rob!

No need to recheck!

I have updated FT's CYUL with all the latest DX10 files which are available at FT's forums and now all works!

 

So:

FlyTampa's:

KBOS

LOWW

CYUL

OMDB

+ Marteen and the Grenadines work perfectly now under DX10

 

Cheers, Christoph

Sorry, was late on this ... didn't get a chance to check, but you did so I'm glad to hear it's working well for you.  So far, I've not had any issues in DX10 with the latest 1.1.26 DX10 Controller.

FT has patches for this.

What patch, have searched over there..I already have the latest TNCM 1.5 with DX10 v.26...Strange grass, and some water at the Maho beach..seems normal in Day mode..

Hmmm... the 1.5 patch should have fixed all anomalies to this scenery. I have this one since day one a year ago, and have no issues with it. Have you run the DX10 Controller since installing TNCM?

for me TNCM V1.5 and DX10fixer work

- during day: perfect

- during night: lights, especially  runway lights, PAPI/VASI lights and taxiway lights are fine, but

   the volumetric grass looks grey and there is a significant water colour difference

   between autogen area and scenery-made area next to the coast/beach (water_effects=5 setting).

 

Hopefully this can be fixed in the future as TNCM scenery is generally outstanding.
