wind current (vortex) not to be seen on wings A 320 immersion

Featured Replies

Hello Flightsimmers,

 

maybe I`m doing something wrong or my old graphics card is not able to depict these effects.

 

Volumetric lights and contrails are working. The rest not working. I tried very hard to make all the fantastic immersion effects come to life.

 

Even I bought Steves DX 10 fixer, hoping to see some results. The last option is to buy a modern graphics card.

 

First my specs:

 

Intel I5 next generation 3,2-3,4 Ghz

DDR3 RAM 8GB

Gigabyte H81 D2V mainboard

SSD Pro Evo 240 with 250GB for FSX SE and OS (windows 10)

Soundblaster Z

Nvidia GTX 260 with 1,8 GB VRAM (DDR 3..448bit) I think maybe here is the problem!? I want to buy a 750 TI

 

FSX Steam Edition on windows 10

Aerosoft Mega Airports Orly, Oslo and some more airports

FSC 9,7

PMDG 777

Airbus A 318-21...Airbus A320 family Immersion

ASN SP4

FS Cabin crew german, spanish

Some Fly Tampa airports

Drewitzki New York

GSX

Topcat

Justflight BA 146

NAVDATA Pro Dec.2015

Steves DX 10 Fixer

 

Maybe there is someone with an idea outside? Thx!

Hi Axel,

 

The title of your thread states that the wing vortices are not working.

The content of your thread states that there might be more effects covering your issue.

 

Can you clarify that for me?

 

Also, there are no noticeable wingtip vortices on the A320 Family of airplanes and isn't included in A320 Family Immersion.

Keven

Hello Keven,

 

You are definately right. I´m missing some effects.

 

I want to see wind current over the wings. I was choosing "cold weather..." from the three immersion weather possibilities in the FSX weather segment. My airbus starts in ENVA (Trondheim) and I was compiling a flight plan to ENGM (in this case Aerosoft Mega airport Oslo...newest number).

 

The result was a contrail in the air, some effects relating the jet engine, but NO effects relating to the wings surface and wingtips.

 

Thank you very much for your kind and immediate support.

 

Axel

 

Edit; I was looking at the aircraft nearly the whole flight from the outside in different altitudes and different temperatures. It was partly snowing in an "icy" weather condition.

Hi Axel,

 

Wing condensation will show only when the air is saturated with water.

 

From the product's User Manual:

 

WING CONDENSATION

Wing condensation is due to the rapid loss of pressure from the air flowing over the wing when the air is close to, or reaches saturation. In A320 Family Immersion, this effect is visible with an angle of attack of more than 5° when the air is saturated, with a temperature above -10°C (14°F) and with an indicated airspeed of less than 220 knots. Various intensities are displayed depending of the wing’s angle of attack.

 

Regards,

Keven
