It's referred to as puffery. Perfectly okay to do.

Tried Sky Force out. Those volumetric clouds are pretty slick. I also received a 10+ FPS boost from it.

Any word yet about Avsim closing soon? (When the Nibiru peoples arrive)
magnetite replied to Fielder's topic in Hangar Chat
I thought that Nibiru stuff was 2012? -
That's extremely unlikely to happen. A 64-bit app is more than enough memory wise. It can use up to 18 exabytes of VAS, with Windows 10 Pro only being able to use 2 TB of that. I don't think you'll see desktop computers with 2 TB of RAM anytime soon.

They were also only available in 2D cockpit view, not VC.

Last flight I was on back in summer 2011 was a booked window seat right in front of the left engine of a 737-800. It was this same seat I made a video of the takeoff from Toronto and the landing into Calgary. Flight was from Calgary->Toronto->Calgary.

The autogen draw distance is also tweakable in P3D, which would be a handy feature to have in FSW. -

It's masked by your settings. If you turn all the sliders to the left and move your mouse, it's still there. I don't own P3D v4 (previously had 3.3.5 installed to try it). I did a Google search just now, and it does contain the g2d.dll and g3d.dll in it's folder, so it still uses GDI for the mouse. -

I'm pleased they fixed that mouse bug that has been plaguing FSX and even P3D when I tried it out. It seems it had something to do with switching from a GDI based mouse to a Direct2D one. -

I wasn't one to jump immediately into FSX when it released. This sim is no different. Going to wait until it matures a bit before diving into it.
