What is the wind speed and direction? Many Huds do this drift to show wind effects. Perhaps it's not doing it correctly?

Some left rudder will probably help.

Agreed. Much quicker to download the whole thing from the support page than by doing it in ftx central

Region switching never disabled the scenery in the library anyway. The unified lc lookup makes no difference in this regard. confirmed by support staff at ftx forum recently.

Exactly , the region files contain NONE of the files that are needed for switching so why are you saying that they will need to be updated? You sir, are a complete spin artist. . Does the update to ftx central take care of doing away with region switching. Simple question. Yes or no? Go to your ftx central install folder. Tell me where the ftx versions of lc lookup and autogen descriptions are stored, right in this folder which is where ftx central updates. Not once did I say they reside in the regions folder. Quite the opposite in fact. Clearly ftx central swaps these in and out of the sim. The new version of these files which will be supplied with the new version of ftx central will be permanently replaced in the sim folders and will no longer require any swapping in and out. That is what was said in my original post. You are choosing to either not read or don't comprehend. I'm done with you. Let's leave it at that indeed.

lol, I just said that they reside in the sim folders. Ftx central contains those files and swaps them in and out as necessary. Look in the folder labeled ftx central. That's where all of those files are stored, not in the regions folders. Again, you are splitting hairs. Ftx central will simply take care of it all regardless. I'm fully aware of how the sim works thanks very much. I have been at this for 20 plus years at this point. There will be no update to the core region files. I bet you a case of beer on it.

Where do you think autogen descriptions and lclookup reside in orbx world? In terms of region switching these are the only things that really change. They are in FTX central and get switched in and out of the sim files accordingly. I like the way you joined the qoutes at the end to support your position. Either way, its all handled by the new version FTX central so your original post is nothing more than nitpicking anyway. Have a good one...........................................

errr no. Seeing as the region switching is primarily a function of changing the cfg files (autogen, terrain,) then it will be handled by FTX Central. They have already said on the orbx forum there will be no new versions of the regions required etc. http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/110405-openlc-na-and-unified-global-regions/?do=findComment&comment=993152

Control input and output are the single most important thing to me in a simulator. I don't need an fps counter to tell me when it's starting to lag but I can tell you now, anything below 27-28 fps and I can instantly see it in the rendering on screen. No need to look at the counter, I can see whilst I am flying. In fact I can feel it in terms of how the controls and the aircraft react, especially on finals.

All I can say is either my eyes are very sensitive to it or your 18 fps is very different from my 18 fps

Try panning at 18 fps or using track ir. I guarantee it's not smooth.

All a moot point soon as the new ftx central will soon do away with region switching altogether. Coming soon apparently,

Thats why REX and Milviz are releasing API's to allow the ND's of aircraft like the bus and the NGX to show just like the ASN implementation.

Thank you. Seems the fact that this works with all weather engines and not just ASN seems to be lost on some folk

That's what I thought

If you have ASN doesn't it already come with a gage like this one?

I thought that it was fairly obvious that I was talking about the default q400 radar and not the ASN enabled version. I understand the limitations of this default version and wasn't expecting anything different. this looks promising as it works with any weather provider. Sorry if that wasn't clear from the get go.

I have the pro version of q400. I don't use ASN. Opus Fsi is my engine of choice hence why I'm interested in this radar.

lol, the ones in the q400 and Airbus are a joke at best. The q400 is the worst one of the two but neither are anywhere near what you get from say the active sky implementation on the ngx I would like to see this version replace each that is currently on the ND of each of those aircraft, not add another gage. Both useless for the most part. The q400 is the worst of the two.

Would be great to see this in the Q400 and Aerosoft buses etc

Just to be clear, the 18% raise only is listed for individual airport scenery packs. The region packs are going up by 10% only

I used to to be a UTX USA / Canada guy but switched to vector. Has there ever been any direct performance comparison between the vector and UTX products?

A realistic flight model does not constitute wanting a "control e" product. Isn't the point of simulation that you get to simulate the bits you want to? Personally I have done enough real world walk around a of high wing cessnas that the last thing I want to do is perform one in a sim. However, what I do want is an awesome flight model with realistic aspects in terms of handling and instrumentation. A2a still fit that bill. Name me one other addon Cessna 182 with as accurate fde as the a2a model? Please don't say carenado....... I'm sure Larry feels the same as he has had the pleasure of owning many aircraft.

lol, because having a realistic flight model isn't really in the carenado hangar? That's a ridiculous comment. What if you want the very nice fde without the maintenance aspect? Besides, you can just switch off the maintenance aspect of the a2a aircraft anyway.
