I made a quick tutorial video if anyone is on the fence and interested:

This is weird. SU 11 works with GAIST for me. Of course, I'm not saying it's not the cause of CTD for others but maybe it's a result of some conflict between GAIST and some other addon perhaps? I haven't yet updated my Nvidia driver to the latest one released this week. Could it be that?

Yes, this is becoming a big issue for many countries with the dollar becoming so strong at the moment. Hopefully developers realise this and will have a few additional sales. It would benefit both them (more selling more units) and consumers who are not residing in the US.

Now I regret not having bought Accuseason in the last sale REX had. I own Bijan's Seasons and whilst it can look good in places, especially in the custom areas, I think Accuseason looks better overall. Unfortunately I also lose quite a few fps with Bijan's addon. Cheeky question, but any chance REX will be having an autumn sale on Accuseason? Having already bought Bijan's addon, I can't stomach paying full price twice. If there were a sale, it might convince me.

Or is that because Hollywood has become a shadow of its former self 😝

Okay, thanks. So this might explain why the wakes I saw were so small and less 'frothy'. When I flew across the English channel testing out the mod the waves were quite small so perhaps this impacted the visual size of the wakes. Edit: Thanks for this awesome mod. It really adds huge immersion to the sim world. The models are amazingly detailed.

Does anyone have very small, barely visible wakes from the ships? The wakes I'm seeing don't look anything like the wakes in the screenshots on the download page of the mod on flightsim.to. I can barely see any wake, just a small line appearing even when up close. I can see smoke from the ships but I expected the wake to show more white foam and be bigger as per real life like the wake caused by the amphibian aircraft in the sim. It has me wondering if I installed the mod correctly? Do I have to add some visual effect file or something? I had deleted the old GAIST folder as indicated before installing but I didn't delete the 'Gaist US Lakes folder' as it didn't say to delete that one in the installation instructions. Should I delete it (in case this is causing the wakes to not display correctly)?

So cool. I live near to Lake Geneva (Sion), and used to live in Montreux, Lausanne and Nyon for a number of years. Super exciting to see the old steamboats that are still used by the CGN ferry company. Can't wait to see these on the lake especially with how great the detail of WU 6 is for Switzerland.

I'd also be happy to be a tester if it helps. I'm a big fan of your mod!

Fantastic shots

Great pics. Well done.

I still have an old i7 920 @ 3.8 ghz which is a generation behind the i7 2600. I also have a 970 GTX. I get 30 fps running at 4k resolution in rural areas and if I use 'light' add-ons (such as some Carenado planes) I get around 20 fps in city areas. With the Aerosoft A320 I get around 15 fps at Geneva Airport but as soon as I take off, this jumps to 25. I have settings turned up quite high as well so I am sure I could get better in big city areas. One thing that does bring my system to its knees is heavy weather. I mostly avoid this in favour of high graphics settings. I even run with trees maxed and shadows on! But with buildings set to normal:) I keep meaning to upgrade to the 6700K and a nice 1080 GTX card but since installing P3D 3.3.5, I am quite content with the performance and how smooth and good looking it is. At this stage I think I will wait for Kaby Lake before I upgrade next. As I can only reach 3.8ghz these days stable, I am often envious of those with a 2600k who often can reach 4.5ghz. I think though the graphics card you use may have a considerable impact as well though. I can't advise on that combination.

Great shots. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent question and something I too have often wondered as to what the result would be at high altitude and or high speed. In Prepar3d, nothing much happens other than a 'your flaps have been damage due to excess speed' warning. I have often wondered if the strength of the flaps would withhold the resulting force of drag if extended at high speed accidentally.

Nice! I can see where my apartment is in the third picture...lol
