Loved your set up,  I saw myself following  the  head movement 

 

Whoops! That's not my setup. Just reposting a vid.  

 

Plus, some more from the Aerofly Vidmaster. Seems like he's having a lot of fun.

@HiFlyer,

    I watched your great San Diego video with the performance data at the lower right section of the screen - how do you enable that?

 

   Also, do you know how the three window/monitor views (saw the video on that) were created - so far I can't find options or config files for that concept.

 

EDIT: I found the main.mcf file which I can read with Notepad++ - maybe it's         <[bool][debug_show_fps][false]>??

 

 

Thanks

 

Dave

You just press CONTROL + F1 (Don't press F2 by accident, it can cause a mess!)  :smile:

@jcomm,

     Is that racetrack with pylons available to all of us in FS2 - or is that some special scenery you have made? I doubt that I could fly it but...

 

Thanks

It's not my video - sorry :-/.

 

I believe it's from Ipacs's  Jet-Pack

Can this hurry up and have full blown world travel, powerful weather engine and hi-fidelity simulation of heavy iron aircraft?    So tired of the power of my PC being wasted on a rusty old 2 cylinder FS engine...  These videos look amazing.   I'd ditch X-Plane and P3D forever to be able to have that 60 FPS in a 737 over any part of the world...

 

It's beautiful, graphics wise, but unveils the big limitations of AEFS2's weather modelling in terms of making it a *perfect* soaring sim... I can't even imagine how it would feel soaring over NY in terms of turbulence and other factors.... I've had experience over towns 1000x smaller, with buildings 10x smaller, and believe me - it's not a nice ride :-)

Is there any flight simulator modeling turbulence over cities?

FSX / P3D, with ASN or AS16 :-)  But ya know... I'm always the guy who pushes to the unplausible limits side :-) And yet, my preferred GA sim models none if it either :-) Not even ground handling physics is plausible there.... ( and no, it's not X-Plane ... )

How does it know if there's a city? Maybe landclass?

In any case, to my knowledge none of the "pro" glider simulators models that kind of turbulence, so I don't see that as something that limits Aerofly FS 2 as a gliding simulator.

Of course it's not a major limitation in as far as soaring is concerned... Much more importante is the way termal and ridge lift get's simulated.

 

Ridge lift was buggy in v1, and for diferente reasons is also not very good in v2... Thernals need a better, even if basic modeling, with some sort of "life cycle" and sinking  air around the core(s)...  Moutain lift also needs to be modeld to be of any good in terms of simulating at least what we have now in Flight Gear, and even better in Silent Wings and in Condorsoaring.

As Jose mentioned though, the only programs that model that sort of thing are specialized efforts from third parties. And of course, that's what Condor soaring is all about, so you can see why accuracy in that area would be a priority. I think that's appropriate, since the additional costs for that sort of fidelity can be borne by those who would actually ever even know it was there.
