June 24, 201411 yr Sure it will. If you use OPUS only for their camera function it should not eat up too much performance. But using OPUS only for that and ASN for weather engine means you are basically trhowing away half the money :-( Except Opus weather won't work the PMDG weather radar. So if you want that you have to use ASN, as things stand. Also I'm an Ezdok owner so buying Opus to fix this problem would be a waste of 90% of that purchase too. It's all about the order you buy addons. I bought Ezdok before Opus came on the scene. But I used FSX real weather, then a freeware weather engine, until ASN came out. Either way buying Opus makes no sense for me at present. If Opus had been around when I was looking for a VC camera control I might have bought it for that and used the weather that came with it. I've downloaded the current Opus manual and I can't see that they've fixed the problem properly. LCC can be used to create a fixed eyepoint offset for a view, there's no mention that the offset can be modified automatically by heading or latitude changes. The manual also implies this FSX bug only affects certain addons like the 777 when in fact it affects all FSX aircraft. Opus certainly has the potential to fix the viewpoint problem, but it seems to me they haven't really grasped what the problem is.
June 25, 201411 yr Ok...thx for that info. I also agree that buying OPUS not making a weather radar for the 777 is a dilemma. I asked on their forum and they said they will not make a weather radar :-( A big mistake if you ask me. Because I bet most simmers will get ASN for that reason alone. I am quite happy with OPUS, support is the best around, but the ASN weather radar thing is really tempting........So tempting that even I might just switch to ASN. I will wait and see what others report about ASN when SP1 is out before I make that move though. What I dont need is a weather engine that introduces all kinds of speed fluctuation problems for example (not saying it does that). Rob Robson
