About Me

  • About Me
    Been a Flight Simulator user since 1987, still have all the Charles Gulick books, but not sure my simming skills have improved much over the years. Too many long breaks.
  1. You can change the size of the tooltips, both new and legacy, by changing the overall user interface text size in the general options. Changes the text size and look of all text globally, of course, but not disastrously so. Still in caps, though. Also, fascinatingly, on the BlackBox Simulation's BN-2 Islander, the legacy version of the tooltips does show the variables settings when you hover over the switch or knob, so it is still possible, and therefore very easy for Asobo to turn this back on.
  2. Happened to me last night in the DA62, with AP on using Nav, VS. The auxiliary instruments worked and in external view the plane continued to climb, but ignored the Altitude set. Turning AP on and off made no difference at first, but later the PFD appeared to display properly again, though it lost AP settings. The centre panel also appeared to stop, but then independently restarted more quickly than the PFD, and the pop-up map also froze. New since latest update. On the upside, for once the AP didn't foul up a change of approach, and reacted properly with a perfect ILS/glideslope capture and delivery.
  3. Flight Sim heaven! Just got back to simming with a new machine capable of doing P3D v4 justice, and spent a week attempting to make the Milviz 310R my twin. Hopeless, with poor instruments, an unworkable autopilot, and just hard to fly with any pleasure. Found this thread, and installed my old Turbine Duke with the new installer. Works 99.5% absolutely fine, and a joy to use and fly. The only oddity is a missing thousands finger on the altimeter, which I'm sure used to be there in P3Dv2. A big thank you to Sean Moloney for caring about us. Now I'm just sorry I didn't upgrade my Legacy at the same time as the Duke!
  4. I've had one or two quite spectacular plateaus with decent sized Italian airfields in FSGenesis. There is something called AFM - Aerodrome Flattening Meshes that is marketed alongside FSGlobal which purports to flatten any airport you want. Has anyone had any experience with this, and with FSGenesis in particular, since it says it works with any mesh?
  5. Norman,That's excellent news. Many thanks for pursuing this. I'll look forward to the repaints.John
  6. Oddly enough I did exactly the same, on the same day. I was sure I'd seen an anti-nuclear flash white version shown in a review somewhere, and was very surprised when I saw that such a version was not included, nor does a repaint exist, nor is there a repaint kit.OK, some of the price goes to the rebuild project, but I'm still a little put out. If there was a repaint kit (and some repaint have been posted) I'd have a go myself.jpkaye
