Good gesture on your part. Thank you. Very happy that this small problem was solved thanks to a friendly cooperation between two excellent developers.

Brilliant Steve! problem solved thanks to your solution!!! Having flown myself hundreds of hours on that (real) plane in Asia - almost thirty years ago - I was very frustrated not to be able enjoying it in the simulated world and made it known kindly to LionHeart with no reply... Once again, heartfelt thanks for your research and findings. Kind regards,

Many thanks Steve. I shall try this tomorrow afternoon and shall report back. Again thanks for your excellent support (and product...)!

... and your eyes retina as well!!! Think and read - while you can - before jumping on the last piece of technology released...

OK Steve, I will see if I am able to make screenshots of my DX9 cockpit (no reflection at all) and DX10 (with all those black lines on all windows) so that you can see what I have, it's definitely DX10 related, I agree that it does not prevent from flying the plane, but it can be distracting and does not look too nice either. If you dont have the same, that means it might be a problem on my end, I use a GTX680, I will also check the latest drivers and play with the NI settings. There's got to be a better compromise. I'll report back.

Thanks Steve, I shall check that on Saturday when I am back, however you are talking of sun visors, I was referring to the windshield and lateral windows with all those disturbing and ugly black strikes, is that also what you mean? Thank you for your follow-up and purchase of the TB21 (Lionheart owe you one...)

Very surprised that my post yielded no reaction on the part of LionHeart neither on this thread nor with anybody contacting Steve. Once again, Steve is ready to fix the DX10 issue, all new sophisticated add-on releases are now DX10 compatible, it is not "buggy" anymore with Steve's fixer and it does add another dimension to FSX, so a move on your part to make your product DX10 compatible at no cost on your side would really be an appreciated gesture, Steve is still ready to help. The ball is in your court. Thank you. Best regards,

Back to my sim and on topic. As you suggested I uninstalled the DX10 Fixer libraries and had no result, the reflections are still there. I dont know if the developer has been in touch with you, I hope this can be resolved. With thanks and best regards.

Thank you for your offer Steve, I forwarded your message to the developer here. With best regards,

It is clearly indicated that your Trinidad is not DX 10 compatible, however, since many clients will have bought it regardless and would appreciate running it with Steve DX10 Fixer that works with most FSX add-ons, Steve on his AVSIM forum offers to try fixing the windshield problem, would you care getting in touch with him please? We (DX10 users) would be grateful for this (free) gesture? Thank you. Best regards,

Thanks for the follow-up Steve, sorry I will be away from my sim for a week or so, I already left, but I shall pursue this matter immediately after I get back. I wish I knew how to make a screenshot to show the problem better.

Thank you Steve. Unfortunately the 8 bit fix did not change anything, I still have those strong and disturbing reflections on the windshield and windows that I never had on any other airplane add-on (and I have a number of them...)

The difference is here: and here: Perhaps a trial may change your opinion or preconceived ideas, in my case it did, for years - and until Friday evening - REX was my reference, not anymore. Until further notice.

I own both AS16 and ASCA and had my first flight yesterday from Taipeh to Hong Kong in the new LionHeart TB21. This was an interesting flight at an equally interesting time in the remnants of the giant typhoon that went across Taiwan the day before and a number of scattered thunderstorms on the way. The experience was absolutely stunning, the way AS16 loaded different textures from heavy storms to CAVOK situations during these two hours or so, the rendition of towering CB was the best I ever saw in flight simulation, the turbulences nearby thunderstorms - remember I was flying a light aircraft - were incredibly realistic (I flew myself in such conditions in RW and remember how much I had to struggle to remain leveled). If you add to that an early evening landing at FlyTampa VHHX with heavy cloud coverage and rain, this was a test flight I shall remember for a long time... I do have REX soft clouds as well, but the integration of ASCA Global Dynamics in AS16 did a splendid job, and I see no reason why I should bother selecting textures when AS16 does that splendidly on the go, besides do I want to see the same set of cloud textures on my take off in Copenhagen and at my landing in Rio do Janeiro? This is what AS16 is all about, a great step towards weather realism and I thank HiFi for their hard work and creativity. To those who have doubts, pick your copy and give it a try, chances are that you will decide to buy, but dont underestimate ASCA that would be a big mistake, unless you never wander outside limited boundaries!
