Thanks! I am actually still running AS Next with Rex Essentials, cloud set 9. You are spot on with OpenLC NA, that product is amazing! I am en route to KSAN right now and it does have some texture patterns and repetition out in the middle of nowhere, but around town it looks amazing.

Some randoms tubeliner pics from my flight out of KIAD to KDFW.

I am running with a 9800 gtx and it works just fine.

Head movement is provided by the wonderful TrackIR.

Few more videos for those interested. Showing the differences with the DLL off and on.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5KeAv2-ABQ

Glorious!This version does indeed perform better than the older one I had. Looks fantastic and doesn't cost more than a single frame.I have noticed though, my frames will seem to drop for no reason until I Alt-Enter to window mode and back. Once I do that, they shoot back to normal. Other than that, it's staying in the directory as a welcomed change.Thanks for the heads up!

What resolution do you use in fsx? What video card are you running?I'll DL this dll that you have in your post above, mine is about a year old, perhaps the dll has been improved.

This is something I was using in fs9, and the effect is quite good when tuned up in the ini. The dll also does a good job at color correction and really cleans up the muddy view of fs9 and fsx.It does cost frames though, but not near as much as the fsx built in bloom system. My mid range pc drops about 15 frames when this is on, less in fs9.

I've been looking at picking this switch panel up. I am a little discouraged that there is zero customization though, as in, the switches will only do what they are set to do.I was hoping to be able to change a few to control other more commonly clicked cockpit items, or have a bit of freedom to ensure the panel works with all my add on aircraft.Is there any documentation out there to make an aircraft compatible with the panel, if we can't make the panel compatible with the aircraft?

There is a quick start method as well, one that follows the same line as MS Flight Sim's for start up and shut down of the helicopter.....

The only remaining parts of the glove are the wristband, and the single index finger. The palm is cut away so you can still feel the stick, and the remaining fingers and thumb are also removed.I would agree, placing an entire glove on the hand would be a drawback. This is the reason why I eliminated as much of the glove as possible, while still being able to wear it comfortably.Hopefully in the next revision, I will be able to reduce the size of this.

I've made up a snazzy glove with a push button on the tip and an IR LED attached. By using the IR camera in the Wii remote, and freely available software on the web, any clickable cockpit can be used with the finger, instead of moving the mouse.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLkfx6QxLfgThe video shows me using it in Black Shark by DCS, but over the weekend I fired up FS9 and was also able to click away in my cockpit, without using the mouse. For me, this really ups the immersion factor, and when used with TrackIR, gave me the ultimate flying experience.

Problem solved. For some reason, the USB ports on my box are pickey as to the ones I use for controller inputs. Swapped the port with the one I was using for the touchscreen and all is well.Funky....

My previous set up was a CH Yoke with my throttle from the X52 flight system. Everything worked fine. Went out and bought a set of Saitek Rudder pedals, and now I lost the input to my CH yoke.For a split second when I start FS2004 I can assign an axis to the aileron from the yoke. But after that split second, I'm not able to assign anything else. Not even that same aileron assignment if I delete it. It's like FS2004 is not seeing my CH yoke after starting FS.All other indications show that the Yoke, pedals and throttle are working fine. And everything works in the sim, minus the yoke.Tried removing the rudder pedals to see if it would come back to normal, but no go. HELP!

The prompt service that people receive in relation to Flight Sim software is something that is not common in the world of software, and should not be expected. Look at your software library, try and find something else where you were able to talk directly to the developer and recieve a quick response, much less directly influence a fix.Tech support will respond as well as they can, but chances are, if the software requires change, you won't see that until they are good and ready, if at all.The quick response and direct communication is something I appreciate in this community, but it is not something I demand, and will not explode over if I don't receieve and answer when I want it.Edit: After revisiting the CLS forums, i noticed plenty of posts discussing SP3. It's apparent that they are working on it is it not? Relax and wait, just like you do for every other bit of software that needs fixing.

Snazzy!Hopefully some time will open up so I can start to fiddle with this more. I'm on the lowest point of the learning curve for panel editing, so this is going to take a few minutes for me to get myself edjimicated.

Erm....What's the issue with the VC?

I figured the row was a seperate window with buttons being individual gagues.Now if you press Panel 1, then press panel 2, does it close panel 1 while opening panel 2? Or are there multiple windows open at the same time?Or, is there a way to call up a gauge or window while opening it in the same window?e.g. I open Window 8, which has my row of buttons along the bottom. Then I press the button I have assigned to APU related stuff, can I set it so that the APU related stuff opens in that same window?

I am a little curious though, how did you manage the panel selection bar across the bottom? Is this in itself a gauge?

So far in my tinkering, I have found zero limitations. But I am doing this in FS9, not FSX. I am able to undock the panel, move it the touchscreen and continue to run in full screen. The panel on the touchscreen operates just as it would normally. All gauges move, all items are clickable and dragable, there is no difference. And the mouse still works so that option is there also.Since this is on a seperate monitor undocked, there is no issue with track IR.

This was a fantastic idea. I have been playing around with the Wilco 737 and moved the overhead panel to the touchscreen. So much more enjoyable flipping those switches with the touch of a finger rather than bring up the panel, clicking the mouse and all.I have spent the last two days moving panels and switches over to the touchscreen! Love it! Now i'm looking for some minature plunger buttons in order to attempt making an FMC front panel that makes contact with the touchscreen.

Just get yourself some of the heavy duty velcro, put it on the desk and under the yoke base. Not permanant, and better than hassling with the clamps all the time.

What does it matter? Any amount of piracy is too much! Whether it brought down the company or not, it was still robbing PSS of the dollars they deserved for time spent on fantastic add ons.Then the pirates having the nerve to ask for help from the same company they ripped off? Gimme a break.There is only 2 groups, those who pay, and those who steal. No matter the reason someone had for pirating software, it is stealing and ripping off people who keep this hobby strong and fresh.Come on by my house, steal my TV and say you just want to try it out before you buy it. We'll see if you make it out the front door......I don;t care what group your in, your still gonna be hurting.

I personally feel that nickle and dime changes to a flight sim and charging for them are a slap in the face of those spending hours doing the same thing and contributing for free.With E-Commerce being more accesable to everyone, we are probably going to see the trend increase. I think those that are deciding to charge for their contribution should actually evaluate the value to the sim and the community. Will the average Joe spend 20 euros for grass, or keep looking and spend that 20 euros on a new aircraft. Which one gives you more for your money, and which one is just grass......$5us for grass, yea sure, i'll pay for that. But I will be afraid of the next $5 add on......new tire smoke - $5? Sun flare - $5? Water Texture - $5?

Animals, moving ships make a sim an action game? Sounds to me like it is simulating an environment, with ships and animals included. Perhaps if FS had an arcade flight model, weapons and a WASD interface, I could see it as an action game. IL2 is a sim, but with action. Simulating the action of a WW2 dogfight. I think the genre you are looking for is First Person shooter, which FS is no where near.
