  1. I was finally able to get rid of the fuselage cracks.And no, it's not a problem with the paint kit or a matter of doing some tricky stuff when repainting. For me, it's an nVidia driver setting. I used to use nVidia Inspector to set the level of antialiasing. Apparently, using this tool it is possible to set modes that are not officially supported by nVidia and considered experimental. After setting AA from the nVidia control panel (AA: 8xQ, AA-Transparency: 2x (supersample), driver 270.61, GeForce GTX580) the fuselage cracks disappeared, in both my own repaints and in the PMDG official ones.Actually, I could not make the cracks come back no matter what setting I used as long as the setting was one offered by the official nVidia driver control panel. Maybe that helps someone.
    Post #21 uses ATI drivers and is having the same problem as Nvidia's, therefore I don't think adjusting AA settings in nVidia inspector will solve or just mask the problem.

  2. I am facing a problem with my Rio default scenery, somehow the sand disappeared from the beaches :(It used to be like this:467858%38%3081_7474a11e83_b.jpgNow, it is like this, with grass and even trees:4678587931_2d3555fed5_b.jpgWhat may cause this behaviour?The last thing I remember installing was the Fly Tampa St Marteen and EZDOk Camera, but I don't think it is related to my problem.Any help on how to solve this will be veruy appreciated (there was no changes in Scenery settings)'Thank you


  3. HelloWhat did you find wrong with the levelD 767 that you wanted to replace it ?.
    Level D is a superb piece of software, but is aging. It was "patched" to work with FSX, therefore it does not have implemented all the possibilities FSX provides. Maybe I find what I want when they release their 757 built from scratch to FSX.Cheers
    Buyer beware. You could have avoided all the aggravation if you did basic research - this forum has many entries on the subject of Captain Sim, reputable, former airline pilots (like Mike T) had very unflattering things to say about their products - 15 min worth of search would save you some $.
    yeap, I know now more than ever... :/

  4. Gotta agree here. Treating CS products as even half-serious simulation is a mistake, these are primarily entertainment titles that gained their market niche solely on their visuals. Documenting the bugs here is just waste of time - wrong market.
    I know it will sound like empty words, but I would understand an entertainment title for U$ 30 maximum. I am starting to realize that what made me real impelled to create a topic complaining about was the price I payed and the refund policy. I mean, if you pay more for an add-on than the cost of the "host game" itself, you at least think you gonna get something worth it, which was not the case.Rgds

  5. I understand you are frustrated, but any particular reason you decided to post here instead of in the CS forum and see what their responce is?
    I Thought of posting at their forum, but if you already bought their product, what is the point if you can not get a refund? At least here in AVSIM you can reach people who didn't buy yet and can be well informed and decide what is more important: nice looking machines or nice flying birds. BTW, like Psolk (Paul) said above, I will document all the problems I've found and post in CS forum. That may help other users and the developers.Rgds

  6. Your English is fine! Nice job on the material. I am not finding some of the same things as you (e.g. my APU starts fine from VC -- you sure you're right-clicking?) I also did not have the weird AP behavior. A close reading of the website gives you a good idea of what's there and what's not yet, such as some manuals. As a 757 owner, I'm pretty familiar with Captain Sim's implementation of things, but I can see how it could be frustrating first time around. This is 1.0, and we'll see 1.1 before too long, I'm sure. Being the first kid on the block with a new release of software is fun if you know what you're getting into, but pioneers catch the arrows, too.About some of the technical stuff, I have no idea, so I'll take your word for it. While I know they are working on changes, I don't know if they are planning on modeling engine differences and the like on the first upgrade. I'm not a 767 pilot and could tell you if a Cessna 172 is starting realistically or not, but have no idea if it takes the amount of time modeled to start an engine, or 15 seconds longer, or whatever.As always, it helps to have a good idea of whether your expectations are a good match for any product. Your FPS are a little lower than mine, but there is no doubt there is a price to pay for the visuals your're getting. I don't think Captain Sim is known as a procedural trainer, but a consumer entertaintment product that will leave people who enjoy having the very most realistic representation feeling unsatisfied.Guess it never occured to me to see if I could get ground power in the air LOL. Flight 1's return policy is definitely nice, and definitely the exception not only in flight simulation but most things. EDIT: Your frustration is evident, and may very well be warranted; I'm not sure where the deception part comes in though.
    Thank you for your balanced comment. I guess my deception comes from the false expectation that I had for the price I payed. Like J0nx said above, I should have researched before comitting to buy, and in fact I bought it because I read a review from a guy in a brazilian forum. He posted some nice pics and stated: "I put Level-D aside after installing this CS 767". I kindly asked him to let know how would him compare de FDEs from LD and CS. He replied saying that no difference was observed but he was learning the FMS yet. That should have raised a warning light for me about his knowledge, but I was so "blindly" looking for a full FSX replacement for Level-D that I forgot to double check on AVSIM. Deception with myself maybe? You live, you learn right?I realy hope the 1.1 fix several problems, but I doubt itAs for engine differences or "exploded start", those are really minor things, but correct representation of taking off heavy is a must.Regards,

  7. First of all: English is not my native language, so bear with me.I realized late that If I had been reading the topics here in AVSIM about captain sim, I would not have lost 40 Euros in a 767 that should not have been released for the public (that value equals to R$ 123,00 brazilian money).Although I respect the work art that developers did with the VC and exterior model, that is about it with this product.I will try to be as polite as possible, giving the circunstances of dealing with a company that refunds only products "not installed". I wonder who would by a software, not install it and then return it back without knowing the contents... anyway.There is no point for me to be here complaining about the product if they had a refund policy. Why would I bother complaining If I could return? In a perfect world, they would be out of business by not making any money from the returned software, either that or make better stuff. But NO, unlike Flight 1 that offers 30 day refund, CS makes you install first and then loose your refund. But Hey, that's my fault: I didn't read the EULA. But at least I can go on Twitter and spread the word about the CS policies and to let people know that the product is not ready yet for consumers.To the airplane itself:Very good VC without almost any documentation. The manuals provided barely touches the plane and systems. If you don't know the 767 you are on your own. Want to know what to put in the ZFW field on the FMC? Good luck... look on the Level D manual, you'll find there.Started cold and dark, tried to run APU from VC.. no help. See this lil' video I did about the engine start procedure. Again, forgive me for the bad english.

    Engine start is a joke: The engine "lights off" like there is a bomb in the combustion chamber. But hey, it is just a sim... I am not giving up enjoying it just because of engine starter flaws, EPR indications in GE engines, no electrical load shed and worng clicable spots among other things, right? right?Lets fly the bird then!.Taking off with MTOW... 3000 feet runway used and climbed and accelerated like a rocket... humm... ok, it is just a sim, lets not be sooo picky.FMC programmed, LNAV having a hard time to follow the magenta line... eventually it got there. Then a decided to do a little test: I deleted one way point and put the next one in the LSK2 as active, clicled EXEC and them.....3719869364_4356b81fe8.jpglink to the FULL Sized ImageYeap... that's it. Almost 90 degres curve to intercept the new way point (see image in full size - CMD , LNAV & VNAV are visible on the PFD to prove I was on those Autopilot active modes). It was not immediately after I activated the new way point, it stayed off set for minutes before doing this curve.But hey...it is just a sim... I am cruising now... let me scan the overhead and see whats going on...3719055311_4eb3ac23de.jpgLink to full sized picWhat??? External power cart available and connected??? In CRUISE???? (don't believe me? try for yourself).But, ya know... it is just a sim, we can tow external power carts around.Let me do the approach... I have the STAR for SBGR correct (GURU9) but I hear the runway has changed to 27L.. ok, no problem, new STAR selected, EXEC and.... pow... route deleted. Yeap, the route was completely deleted, no DISCO inserted, nothing.. just "END OF ROUTE" on the scratch pad.... But hey... it is just a Sim. Several people may have beta tested and never found a problem, so that might be only me.I wouldn't have bothered If I had payed US$15 on this... but

  8. Hi again.I checked the video, it is Mega Sao Paulo for FS2004 not FSX. If you still use FS9, check the MEGA SAO PAULO scenery from Paulo Ricardo (http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=mega+sao+paulo&CatID=root&Go=Search), you'll have tons of buildings in the right place.

  10. Hi, I was checking a possible upgrade for my current CPU (E6600 @ 2.4ghz) and I came up with this page at new egg: http://www.newegg.com/Store/BrandSubCatego...CPUs-ProcessorsLooking at the specs on that page, apparently, the E8400 looks better than my current CPU.. so anyone could explain to me if that is tru and if so, why it is cheaper?

  11. Conforme respondeu o amigo de cima, fica na parte superior do pedal do leme... o movimento longitudinal do pedal aciona o leme, e pisando apenas nas pontas do pedal (sentido vertical) os freios são acionados. Para aplicar o parking brake nos Boeings, normalmente se aplica os freios pisando fundo e aciona uma alavanca no painel de manetes. No caso dos Airbus, basta girar a maete no painel.Abraço


  12. Hi,I've been reading good reviews and decide to try for myself the RC, it looks good. I went to your website but there is no downloadable version, just CD. :(I understand this might be a 400MB plus, but I live in Brazil and it would be a problem for me to order the CD version because this country I live in has protection against imported software and I'll have to pay 100% duty to the customs :( in an already expensive product when converted to my local currency.So here's is my question: If I find somenone in Brazil that already have the CD, would it be legal to replicate it and order just the license key? I can use paypal or credit card.Please let me know if that is possible before digging into brazilian forums.Thank you very much.


  13. Hi,After a long time off of FS, I'm back :)Having said that, I just finished installing AS2004.5 and would like to update all the way to ASv6. 1- Am I eligible to do that? (I tried ASv6 but it returns "Can't install, this wrapper requires ASV/E be installed")2- Where can I find all the updates (the download portion of the website just shows the latest upgrade and update do ASv6)Thank you.
