My point is shouldn

Hey Rob & Sean....one suggestion.... The Flying guide, and other Documents.... Please, PLEASE page number them:-roll I try to print all my stuff double sided. You should see how many pages ended up in the waste basket after printing on wrong sides;) On that note - you can use me as a good guide as to just how well writen that guide is..... When I've just had chemo, my congnative function drops through the floor. That's where i'm at and i'm still digesting the manual. Great stuff guys!

Hi Dougal,The pdf's can be printed by page through the page reference on the bottom or top of the pdf window, depending on which way you have the reader set up, but I hear what you say and we'll take note of that request.All our guides are written in plain, untechnical English. We see absolutely no need for unnecessary jargon, and indeed can't stand jargon of any sort!All the best,Rob - RealAir

Paul J and others, many thanks for the informative replies.As I predicted, I was unable to resist.5 flights later, I see that you were absolutely right. The Spit and the P40 are wholly different, and I'm very pleased to have both. Thanks, though, for the suggestions that helped me get there.Good grief, but this Spitfire is an impressive beast. RA strikes again. Choice of flyer is becoming increasingly difficult!

That took a fair bit of programming to achieve ;).Sean.

It would be possible to program a custom one, but on my machine the prop animates quite smoothly so that didn't seem necessary. One thing I've noticed is the prop animation can be very framerate dependent, appearing quite differnent at different framerates.All the best,

Those shots are absolutely breath-taking! Nice work!

Just a quick heads-up - I'm currently working on a paintkit for the Spit, it should be ready within a few days. It takes quite some time to merge hundreds of badly organised photoshop layers into a managable amount ;).All the best,

>Those shots are absolutely breath-taking! Nice work!>Thanks Sean!

Sean,Do not forget that you can create a .RCF file so the repaints can be easily installed with the repaint manager...See http://flight1.100megabyte.com/FSXRepaintSetup.exe. You can include it with the kit if you want.

In regards to memory usage and 32bit textures, I found I was getting severe hitching while using 16xS supersampling @ 1600, which is on a 768MB card. After dropping down to 8xS SS the hitching was gone.

>>The only 'snag' that I have is that in spite of following the Flying Guide I cannot get the AI a/c to show at West Malling.<

Thanks for HU, Steve!

Thanks Steve :)
