  1. That's it, thank you!!!Ehr, but did you find a purchase link on the fsaddon's site? I don't, so if you could please send me a link ...Or I could maybe buy it from Simmarket if the price is the same:http://secure.simmarket.com/fsaddon-vancouver-for-fsx.phtmlIt's 34
  2. Thanks for your answer :-)Looks interesting! However, right now I'm looking for something more of a bush-flying scenery.Btw, the "Location: Norway" is part of my sig. The scenery I am looking for could be anywhere ;-)Eagle>It isn't anywhere near Norway, but you still might enjoy my>Tucson scenery.

  3. Hi all!Maybe too much to ask for, but this is what I am looking for:Some scenery (free og payware) that includes high res. mesh, shorelines, autogen etc. (the works) plus at least 8 airfields. Also I would love a not too flat area. Aerosoft Madeira would be perfect if it wasn't for that the fact that it includes only 2 airports So far Freight Dogs is the closest I can think of, but it's FS9 only ...Eagle...Location: NorwayRig:AMD Athlon 6000+ 3 GHz Dual2GB RamGeForce 8800 GT (1280x1024)VistaWeather (ASX/GEX) and Map (FSC) on separate computer (iMac Running XP).
  4. Hi,one good thing is the HUD, as it is built into the model (I think), so it has no impact on fps, and is readable in every situation so you can actually use it :-)I also like: The Falcon is known for being a plane you can point in any direction and it will go there like a rocket. The Aerosoft bird does that!I also like: Even though it's a very complicated model, my PC has no problems running it smooth as silk (AMD Dual Core 3GHz, NVidia 8800GT, 2GB RAM).I also like: Landing F16-style is possible ... slowing the plane by remaining in landing attitude down the runway a while, it looks cool :-cool I have seen a RNoAF F16 at the annual airshow Kjeller (not so fun last year because it wasn't allowed to fly above 10 000 feet, but the year before was awesome!), and I can do some of that stuff myself with this bird, the power and flexibility is great fun.There's no showstoppers in this one for me, just pure fun. With a lot of repaints by Dag an VinFlyer you just can't lose.Eagle
  5. Hi,are you using DX10 Preview? If so, try not to - it produces a lot of good things ... and a lot of shimmering.Eagle
  6. I'm just trying out this too. New mainboard and processor.This is DX10:1. Shimmering! And that's all over the place, even taxiways/runways. The best result I've got is with just about every setting in nHancer left to appliction.2. Progressive Taxi ... gone.3. Cockpit tooltips ... gone.4. Water: Unbelivable good, slider full right with no fps impact.5. Bloom: Cool but not essencial. No fps impact.6. Shadows in cockpit, actually I don't like them ... too jagged.This is DX9:1. No shimmering after some nHancer tweaking.2. Tooltips and progressive taxi back.3. Bloom had to go, too much fps impact, but I really can live without it ...4. Water slider had to go back a few notches due to fps hit, and the water is not half as nice as with DX10.5. No jagged shadows in the pit ...Verdict? I use DX10 only for float planes where water is most important, planes are simple (no need for tool tips) and progressive taxi and shaky runways doesn't matter.Even the Aerosoft F16 looks better with DX9, ok
  7. In FSC you have to crate a flightplan first to be able to add other waypoints, but departure and arrival airpost are all you need in the first place. Then rightclick on any navaid to insert it to your plan.Running FSC on a separate computer is very convenient, so if you have an old pc somewhere, or a laptop, hook them together with WideFS :-)What I miss in FSC is an easy way to find the runway number (you know, 1L, 24R etc.). In FSC I have to find the airport description, and then deduct the runway number by looking at the runway heading in the list of runways.In FS Navigator you only need to hover over the end of the runway to find the numbers.Please let me know if there is an easier way in FSC!Eagle
  8. Also this is the least resource-demanding airliner addon out there I suppose. As an excample the Do-27 from Digital Aviation is much harder on the fps than the Flight1 Maddog.Eagle
  9. Call the ILS Repair Man, it's 555-1546 ;-)Are you sure it'n not supposed to be off, I wonder if some ILSs are off to avoid obstacles, there are some like that in FS-Norway i think.Eagle
  10. Would sure be nice, I loved the fs9 Herc. Let's just hope that "Coming Soon. Standby for updates" don't mean what it usually means over at Captain Sims ;-).My CS method is:1. Pretend you haven't heard any rumours or read any announcements2. Wait until all packs are completed3. Wait until the product is reviewed somewhere4. BuyCome to think of it, I haven
  11. Here's one in the making. Looks cool, and I love their Beaver :-)http://www.forum.aerosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=10706Eagle
  12. >Read-only access to a forum is a different issue -- Avsim is>an example of a user-friendly, protected forum, anyone can>view, but you need to sign up to post.That's a good point, didn't think of that. However, there could be a number of reasons why VOZ has chosen this solution, and it's not that much of an effort to register if that's what they want.Eagle
  13. >Hmmmm you have to sign up to preview some beta shots? No>thanks. Maybe if they open up the forum for guest or post>pictures on the site, i'm not interested.Hmmmm, my experience with VOZ is outstanding scenery for free. If you are rejecting the whole project because their forum is protected by (free) registration, that's your loss, really!Btw, web robots filling out forms on the web has become a big problem. One way of dealing with it is registering. Another way is those annoying capcha images. I prefer signing up!Eagle
  14. I would recomend another GB RAM, and then the Leel-D if you can afford it. That extra RAM does a lot for the sim.Also remember that IFR in a big jet normally means you can turn off autogen. 2D panel and autogen off works fine in FSX with the complex planes with "older" PCs.I have a AMD 3500+, 2GB RAM, and 7800GT, and Level-D works fine, at least the old fasioned 2D way. Wish I had a better machine and Track IR so I could start VC flying in he tubeliners ...Eagle
  15. >Why is it so expensive, it's just an old, old GA aircraft. I>would get it if it was about $20.>>JeffYou'll know when you get it :-)But for your info, here are some of the things I like:1. Feel
  16. It's ok even if it does affect the framerate some. I ran a little test and discovered afterwards that there's a config tool where you can chose from four different Instruments Resolutions. It defaults to high (700x700), so next time I'll try it one notch down.Also, there's low res texture sets available so I believe this framerate issue is well taken care of from the team (as is anything else).Im still on a single core AMD 3500+ and 2MB RAM (same as you), but with 7800GT and only one HD.I think you'll like it, at first glance it looks like the old DO-27 is back with all it's whistles and bells :-).http://www.avsim.com/pages/1106/Do27/Do27.htm Eagle
  17. People!Digital Aviation's Dornier Do-27 for FSX is just released.This was the best aircraft ever for FS9 IMHO, hope it's the same in FSX. And there's a discount for fs9 owners :-). (Shockwave, what are you waiting for!) Downloading right now ...Eagle
  18. >Is this with all aircraft or 3rd party etc?all :-(
  19. yup, left all forces but one off
  20. After half a year??? I don't fly that much, do I? Maybe I do ...No, it's when I leave the ground it's NOT working, that's when it kicks in full back with full force. Never forward no matter how I trim the aircraft.Sorry for being a bit foggy, why don't all people speak Norwegian?EagleEdit for spelling ... for what it's worth ;-)
  21. Hi,I'm using a Saitek Evo Force joystick, and for some reason the elevator force only pulls the stick backwards. With Forces off it seems like trim and sesitivity works fine, both with and without FSUIPC. But with Forces enabled the stick jumps full back as soon as I am airborn.Just wondering if this is hard- or software related, and of course if anyone else have had this problem ...Eagle
  22. >Notepad. Notepad works just fine for editing XML and HTML>and all sorts of files that are really just text with>different extensions.If your'e happy with one undo level and no code coloring ;-)xml files are very strict, so code coloring is a great help. I use Dreamweaver for this, but I am sure there are som less expensive ones out there ...Eagle
  23. Sure, but coming here to tell the whole community about the good stuff from developers are both useful for us and encouraging for the developers, so I would say it's a good thing :-)Maybe I just midunderstood your post ...Eagle
  24. Not needed, as he DON't want a refund ;-)Actually, it sounded like the warming up comment from a studio take with Van Halen:Sound engineer to drummer: Do you want a click-track or something?Drummer: I don't want no stinkin' click!That's Rock'n Roll.Eagle
  25. I got this fenomenon right after switching off all those redicilous visual effects in Vista. I turned them back on and the offset was gone. But now I must live with those annoying and probably recource demanding effects.I'll try that resize fix later today ...Eagle
