I noticed sometime recently that my Bing imagery had been updated in San Antonio Texas compared to original. Flying here in my hometown has alway been very good graphically, particularly with KSAT airport made by iniBuilds.

Very minor issue - but anytime there is an update, MSFS always resets my monitor viewing mode to "Windowed" vs "Full Screen" which I prefer. Is there some reason/advantage that perhaps I should run in Windowed mode? I do not switch into other applications while flying.

I went to the Leo Bodnar and could not find this product even using their search tool. It seemed everything was hardware. Could it possibly have been re-named or removed? (Program like DIView (free utlity from the LeoBodnar website) to inspect the output of the joystick) Thanks for any updates on this!

Thanks for your patience Tom. Not sure what I did wrong but fixed it on the third try. They are great repaints and I really appreciate your talent and efforts,

I added about 4, creating proper folders for each while properly adding and numbering the config details provided for each. They show up as selectable in P3D 4.5 but no preview. When each one is loaded, the model and interior models are black. I am pretty proficient using downloaded repaints over many years. Was curious why my extracted .rar files contain no thumbnail .jpg. Should I be using a different extraction tool? I did not see an option in Win 10 to extract, so loaded a previous copy of 7-Zip

Awesome looking repaints. Would love to use but I must be doing something wrong. I extracted the .rar file using 7zip, though in honesty have not used .rar files in the past. I have correctly placed this texture folder that seems to contain appropriate files, although .dds not .bmp. In the sim I of course get no preview and when I load this aircraft model, it shows up all darkened. I have texture detail in sim set at 4096. I have used repaints many times so am very stumped???

I am running similar to your specs and don't have any problems. Note that even without the GTN I would have to watch my settings, but again, I am happy. The GTN is a must have in my opinion.

Hey Ray, While I have not benefited from your repaints, I want to Thank You for them, and more specifically your leadership in re-crafting the CJ2 into a most enjoyable bird! I have been patiently awaiting the other well known developer to bring their CJ current. This fills the bill and may continue to do so for a long time! Don't let any insensitive posters get you down or take away from your great and selfless contributions. Regards, Bill

This might fall into the category of "stupid pet tricks", but wondering if is possible to instead use a tiny .bgl with the same name that has a mild color? Would it override the scenery you want, or experience some sort of distortion? Just a thought......

Hi Ray. PM'd you to request the xml. Thanks Much!

I tried the Hawker and it is doing well with my I5 and Nividea 650 card. Thanks to Bert's mod, it suits my needs for a quick ride without going tubeliner or miltary! Thanks again All

Thanks for the feedback! I had seen some posts about Berts's mods and will for sure PM him after I buy.

Planning to buy one of these last several releases and add GTN 750 for normal use. This, while waiting for some other in development competitors. My PC is fine for FSX but is somewhat modest by current standards. Is there any consensus which might be most frame friendly?

Thanks all for your help!

I must be doing something wrong as the EagleSoft Development Group Website shows they are on FaceBook but I cannot find it in FB on my I-phone 6. Tried a variety of different searches to no avail. Would like to track progress towards completion of the XLS+. Any ideas how I can find it without having to go to my PC to their website? Thks!

Welcome to simming! You will learn to get familiar with the aircraft you are flying and the normal operating speeds. You likely need to reduce throttle a little after your take off and monitor your airspeed to not overspend it. There are ways to turn off the warning messages in the config files which you may want to do after you gain a little more experience. There are many people here with all levels of experience and seriousness. Have fun!

I also get better frame rates with NGX tnann the IFly ver 3.1. Using in application performance toll helps a little. Wish there were a few more options to improve the frames. Overall it is a fine addition and I might re-buy when I move to Prepar3d

Took a few short flights. Seems great, although I cannot seen pilot or passengers from external view. Went to the special pop up panel while engines were off and can see the weight changes with different choices. Just cannot actually see the people I "load". . I must be doing something wrong. Overall I love this plane!

That is very strange. I re-downloaded my purchase link from FSPilot shop yesterday morning and it was in fact the update version.

Ahh, yes Meshman - I see that. However it was a non-standard paint. My grandparents lived next to Whiting NAS in Milton FL where Navy pilots first learned to fly these after completing Primary at Saufley. I went through Aviation Officer Candidate School in Pensacola and was comissioned as an Ensign in the 70's. I saw a lot of these although have no hours in type. I also looked back at my old photos and a booklet on the North American T-28 Trojan written by Steve Ginter and see no logos like that. This in no way diminishes this great piece of work! The Ginter book BTW is an excellent reference for this bird. Many photos, schematics and historical information on the Trojan. Bill

This is indeed a absolutely great product - and at a super price. The only thing I see on the Navy version (and this is a minor thing) is that on the upper wing, the NAVY logo is facing the wrong direction. In actuality most of the Navy T28s in the 1970's did not have the logo on the upper side of the wing at all - only the underside. I can't wait for the squadron specific repaints. Thanks for your great work Anthony! Biil

I'm with you! I don't like the thunder sound played each time I load. I save it as "off" in the options panel but each time I come back, there it plays again!! Bill G

I thnk I found the problem, reading a response Ray wrote someone in the FS Developer Community forum. Seems I recompiled the objects file and lost the original model therin. I was testing some of this by trying to use the recompiled file, and forgot to remove it. All of this because something in the newly updated OBJ file crashes my FSX when loading a flight from Denver. I am sure it is a conflict I have self-inlicted in my file/ folder usage and will continue to research. As I mentioned, I don't have a problem when I use the 2009 version of this work.

Gents, I uploaded another great avcad by Ray Smith and can see many of you did also! It looks very nice and seems more FPS friendly than his older file. However, I am having a problem in that I have some orphaned jetways at the Frontier Terminal and the SouthWest terminal. I followed Ray's instructions regarding copying the 2 jfkjetway files. Could I be missing textures or objects necessary? I looked at the associated OBJ.bgl file using Airport Designer (and was careful not to put anything back into the sim). I noticed some objects for jfkjetway02. Could this be the source of my problem and is everyone else seeing all jetways connected? I am stumped, and any ideas are appreciated!.

What helps me a lot without having EZDOC etc, is that I went to the FSX controls screen and mapped two of my joystick switches on the Eye-point (move Left) and the Eye-point (Move Right) commands. Enable the slider bar on the right hand side of each line, and the viewpoint will scroll as you press the desired switches (or keys). These work great for me and I am able to easily adjust upper panel without all the tilting. I also sometimes use it to slide over to the copilot seat in VC forward view if I want to look out the right side window! I also mapped two keys (Num2, and Num 8) to the (Move Up) and (Move down) commands which sometimes helps to adjust panel height as you may like it.. Hope this helps. regards, Bill Gustafson
