Hi:

Can someone who is experiencing the bouncing take a video and post it to their forum please.  I'm not sure how do this and they aren't understanding the bouncing issue.  

Secondly, how do you clear shader cache.

Thanks!

I am VERY disappointed that it took so long to release V1.1.....And you still CAN'T set a default panel state. Also, the night VC lighting looks terrible. The whole aircraft becomes black.

I purchased it only after 1.1 release? What area of the aircraft you mean becomes black? Was it working better in the previous version?

I’m pretty torn on this. I had the qw 757 on v3 and it was ok. I can’t deicde if I want to wait for the cheap port over or try the CS version. It seems most people like it and they’re working on the bugs so if they keep working it might be worth $75. Eh.

Same here. I'm very tempted to go ahead and get it, since people that have it seem to quite like it, despite the stream of negative comments. On the other hand, it would probably be wiser to sit it out a little longer. Anyway the freighter expansion hasnt been released yet.

"Black"? Sounds like you're missing textures...

No it was always like that. It's not totally black but you can tell that all the sudden at sunset the whole aircraft turns a lot dark when the lights come on. I'll try to take a screenshot. PS: I have NEVER seen this with other add-on planes.

Yes there are definitely issues with the lighting. It has to get very dark before the lighting textures will load. I think the dome light works though.

I vaguely remember something like this happening on the PMDG 747 back in FSX. I haven't flown that plane in forever though as I switched to P3D many years ago. There';d be a magical moment at which the lights would start working because in "FSX time" it had become "night"; or something along those lines. I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens in P3D to some extent, but perhaps some developers did a better job of working around it then others?

Haven't tried clearing shader cache (how do you do that again?).  I'm not running ezdok or any similar programs.  I'm a little bummed the developer doesn't seem to understand what's happening.  Can someone send them a video?

I've uploaded the video to show the shaking and they are planning to fix this in a coming HF3.

They are also planning to fix another critical autopilot related bug I've reported.

I am happy with their response and looks like they are still finalizing the remaining bugs.

Great thanks! Was wondering if you could link to the video of the shaking? Quite curious to see for myself what it is :)

Thanks for posting the video, I might just wait until they fix that. Hope they can figure out what's causing it! Pressing any buttons in the VC while that shaking is going on must be annoying.

Thank you!

Man those sound like some good fixes! Hope to hear the impressions of those that posted in this thread before 🙂

They definitely fixed my VNAV issues and so far no bouncing.

Their team deserves some credit for a fast turnaround. They actually e-mailed me a link to the beta hotfix a couple days ago but I couldn't get it to download.

From a stability point of view I think this is more solid than the QW787 right now. I still get some CTD and issues with the FMC on the 787 like waypoints getting out of order I entered them in and then CTD when I try to fix it.
