Hi Maurice,

 

FSX Tinmouse files - http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=tinmouse&CatID=fsxac&Go=Search - check out all of them in the list

FS9 Tinmouse files - http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=tinmouse&CatID=fs2004ac&Go=Search - two versions available on the page, newer one on the bottom of the page.  As for above, check out all files listed.  The base pack is included in the lists for each FS platform.

 

The SP1 for the CS L1011 is supposed to have a fully functional INS for the VC....that's why I'm waiting until after they release SP1, as well as hopeful corrections to some errors in the initial release....we'll see.

 

There is a v-speed gauge available for the CS727, and I think it's here in the AVSIM library somewhere.  You can find the info on the CS forums for it, as well as integrating the single/double/triple CIVA INS as a 2-D popup...works great!  Regarding the sound problem, it's a persistent one that CS has not addressed, and I don't know if your idea of using the TSS sounds will address it or not.  Again, a simple aircraft reload seems to do the trick to get the sounds to play.

 

I agree about XPX, but it most likely is the platform of the future, as it's now 64 bit, and development is ongoing.  I have no idea why LM persists with P3D as a 32-bit platform (other than having to re-code everything from the ground up....64 is the way of the future).  XPX does need more 3rd party devs to hop on board, and more are coming over to the platform.  But you're right, the lack of AI traffic, quality ATC, only flying during summer, built in airport structures, etc. still make it less of an overall platform AT THIS POINT.  I'm really hoping that will change, because it has such GREAT potential!

 

QW's 757 was their first airliner (I believe), and I also have lower FPS on it than I "should"....hopefully their 787 will be better.  I don't have their BAE jet, so I can't comment on it.

 

JP vids - I think you can now also buy downloads of those older airport/cockpit videos and burn them to DVD yourself, as I know some of those offerings are "sold out" as DVD versions....check 'em out!

 

Let me know how you do with the Tinmouse....

Thanks for the links, Jim.  I will download the FS9 version because I've gone back to DX10 for FSX.  I'm going to try it after some more flights on the 757.  I'm really enjoying it right now.

I'm also hoping the QW's new 787 and 737 are more fps friendly.

 

I'll also wait and see after the L-1011 service pack.  I'm going to fly the JF's version (only tried twice so far) and see if I want to get more in-depth with the tri-star.

 

Oh, I didn't know it was a different sound issue with the 727.  I thought it was bad quality or something.  Good to know you only have to re-load the plane.

 

I agree with you on XPX.  I'm still waiting for more updates and third party support.  I almost got the global version a few times when I was at the aviation store.  Who knows, I may walk out with it the next time I go there again lol.  I do have a 500G hdd I'm not using.  But I am worried about performance on my pc.

 

I forgot JP offer downloads.  That's good to know.  I'll buy them as downloads if I can't find them at the store.  There are two stores I visit which are side by side and one of them seem to always have the older dvd's.  I got quite a few old ones from there.
