Hey Folks,

As the title says "Collection of Pics from Recent Flights".

Includes some recently installed planes I've fixed/modded.

First up is the Jabiru 160, seeing this post and video linked here  prompted a Jabiru flight, it's quite a nice easy to fly sport type of aircraft.

This is one of Iris Simulations they gave away during Covid, noting it did need a bit of work to move from x86 to x64.

 

Next is a Carenado Pilatus PC12, which I installed a week ago.

Now normally with a Carenado aircraft there are a host of errors to fix, these being mostly the result of copy/paste errors, typos and the odd bit of poor logic, however this one only had the one prob so far and that is a duplicated pitot_static section in the aircraft.cfg. Still getting the feel for flying this machine.

 

A jet is next in line, being the Quality Wings 757, bought an at amazing price of $14.95 and that price includes many variants and even actual airline safety briefings to match liveries.

This one took a bit of troubleshooting effort as I couldn't get the glass gauges to work, they just displayed an error about not being able to start and QW757-0. A search of the QW forum wasn't that productive with most stating resolved by reinstall and reactivate, however they were old posts and this one I knew was working prior to a recent Win7 to 10 update and I've already tried a reinstall but it lacked an activation prompt. Eventually traced the issue (via Microsoft's process monitor) to not being able to find the license file in C:\QualityWings and once dropped in it was all good to go.

This version includes PBR models I've added.

 

The Carenado TBM 850. I found the G1000 to be problematic and failing to use defaults, meaning for every flight the setup values had to be entered... a somewhat tedious process, eventually problem solved by via edit of the G1000_config.xml, cleaning up the xml code and removing all the comments which were barfing the loading of the file (I did keep a commented version for reference). Quite enjoyable to fly now.

 

This is a pic testing star night lighting as I was tweeking the Stars.fx shader and was working on resolving a few shader math issues.

 

Now here's something you don't see every day 🙂 a sinking ferry under the Sydney harbour bridge.

 

My Fav, the Lancair again, had just installed Jeansy's Australian Oil Rigs with his updated stock oil rig model and was heading out from Gippsland to take a look.

Was lollygaging and crashed into the sea, unfortunately this plane doesn't bounce back at all and I could not get it back in the air.

 

Swapped planes and here it is, it's got birds, dophins, animated cranes even the burnoff has a loud cracking sound. Acording to Jeansy he built it for some rig pilots who operated a simpit and were using it to practise.

 

Lastly an retractable undercarrage Cessna 210 Centurion II, nothing special about this one, I bought it to replace an 182RG with a custom photoreal HD VC, unfortunatelly the 182RG had only x86 gauges and was just no fun to fly with the majority of it's intruments missing, I do miss the custom HD photoreal VC though.

Cheers

Wow - Great snaps , your P3D looks fantastic !! .

Ta, it's the result of lots of tuning 🙂
