I dont own the maddog, but it seems more interesting now to me because of the VC refresh... I have to say, I like eyecandy :-) 

 

Is anyone able to post some shots of the changes? Just to get a feeling how it looks now?

 

Thank you very much!

 

 

But why is this happening in default straight ahead view with EzDok off and not running at all? The distortion doesn't change shape, fade, or adjust however I change the viewpoint.

 

Try setting clipmode=normal in your cameras.cfg (C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3\

This will also get rid of the awful flickering clouds around mountains

Hi Folks,

 

I can't believe an MD80 has been ignored so badly in P3D... This has to be my favorite airliner to fly - hands down - with it's unique autopilot - little razor thin wings - and - all the sounds the plane makes in flight... Granted I was a Coolsky fan - but - I'd be very interested in anyone's on par work... The Coolsky one doesn't even work with FSX on Win10 - not that it matters now that I've moved to P3D... Someday...

 

Regards,

Scott

Did you look at the thread?  First page has compares.

Yes I did, they look already good! But since then there was some updates. I thought they have have added more nice things to see.

Sadly, the Maddog is a FS9 Port (and rumored to have a little some FS2002 files), so moving it to P3D requires a re-work of a number of items.

 

There may be some hope of compatibility with the upcoming DTG Sim!

 

As far as I'm concerned, P3D isn't a giant leap forward (not until 64-bit), so I actually reinstalled FSX-SE just to fly

the Maddog... and loving it!  I use P3D for everything else.

is there a way to make the led read out numbers ( frequency, autopilot, etc)in the VC brighter. Unless I zoom close, these number are barely legible during normal flight operations. The rest of the vc is quite bright and attractive. I have the settings all on performance, but I don't see a line that points to "quality" readouts in the settings.

thanks

Yes.  The knobs at the bottom of the FGCP (MCP if it were a Boeing).  The knobs hang downwards.

By the way... if you guys have never flown the Maddog in Shared Cockpit, YOU'RE MISSING OUT!  It's FANTASTIC!!!

Dave,

are you referring to the ones right behind the tiller? Apparently, those don't seem to have any effect when I turn them high.

The only effective  instrumentation knob is the only that controls the pfd brightness. I'd attach a pic, but somehow this option is gone.

No sir... I believe it's underneath the Altitude or Vertical Speed knob/wheel.

Could you release 32bit versions of the textures please?!

Ah, yes. I had to go into the 2D panel in order to turn them, since the in the VC the mouse pointer turns into a hand, but they don't seem to work. Perhaps someone else can correct me.

And thanks, Dave, for the insight into these two knobs.

It took me a while to finally sit down and try this out excited I was, but no dice. Still the same as before even after changing it to normal. Dang!

Tony, not sure why you had to do that, they work fine in the VC...  Try using the Mouse wheel to turn them?

Dave,

it would be great if I could see a "before" and "after" image of the readouts. Maybe I am expecting to much, but as I moved either the wheel or the various buttons( and I very familiar with how these are used on the Maddog), I didn't see the "linear" increase or decrease of the lighting. I will keep on trying....
