I demand 60 fps because this simulator is 35 years old. 

The paradigm for most developers is 30 fps. WHY?  Demand more from products.

 

Er, yep.

Easy son! or you'll have a stroke.

I'm getting 60 FPS easily off the CJ2 and I'm on the South Coast of England - with EGLL, London, EGKK - one of the Hotspots for FSX/ P3D Frame Killers.

Sort your rig out - you're being greedy.

..Has more to do with how many inefficient polygons and unnecessarily adding 3d objects (switches etc) that do nothing on the plane. Which I find unforgivable.

You have no idea what you are talking about. It's because customers always demand a higher visual quality and all the newer Carenado/Alabeo models are PBR ready. That's why e.g. the 421 is more framerate heavy than their older models.

If I were you, I would contact Lockheed Martin and ventilate/state your demands. 
Only that way they can do something about your horrific frame rates and lousy experience.

Good advice I'll add to.

Why not have a moan at Intel and Nvidia while you're at it - for not keeping pace with your 60 FPS sim requirements...

The currect version available at PC Aviator is v1.2.  What issues does this new version address, compared to v1.1, may I ask?

[FDEdev 955]

1.2 has been out since June and that's the changelog.  

- Autopilot model fixed on VC.
- Autopilot trim wheel corrected.
- Instruments reflections corrected.

However there will be a 1.3 patch out very soon, so you may want to wait a few more days.

Do you know what's being implemented in 1.3 J35OE?

[FDEdev 955]

AFAIK, a corrected FD logic and FD graphic, plus an improved FDE.

Thanks for the info.  I hope PC Aviator is quicker posting the update than they have been with others' products.

The Version 1.3 Installer is available at Alabeo now, although I haven't seen any formal announcement from Alabeo as yet.

I down loaded, uninstalled and re-installed. During the install I got some "Invalid File Handle 32" errors. It seems to be pretty benign but was wondering if anyone else gets the errors or knows what they may indicate.

Where did you see this on their site?

Saw it on the 421c main page and downloaded from "My Account". Still haven't seen any announcements or a change log.

Hi Folks,

So with the fixes - this one is a good purchase ?

I think Bert mentioned it was a “favorite” ?

Hi Scott,

Well... I am a big fan of the real world 421. Never had the opportunity to fly one but did get to fly (right seat) in the 411 a few times. A great aircraft!! In my opinion the 421 is the ultimate mainstream cabin class twin development.

I own the Alabeo version and enjoy it very much. Typical Alabeo and far from perfect, but very enjoyable until a serious developer decides it is worth doing.  I fly it quite often.

Hope this helps.

So, what does far from perfect mean in this case, since e.g. their PA44 turned out very nice and AFAIR is without any (serious) bugs?
