Hi Bernd --- great news to see it got posted. It looks just great. Super improvement. Thanks for your work and efforts. Regards!! :smile:

Hello All --- wondering if the new panel is coming up in the Library?? Have done a couple of searches and it does not come up. Am I looking in the right place for the file??? Many Thanks!!!! :wink:

Wow, such a great improvement. I was surprised when they put out this nice plane with that beat up panel and cockpit areas. Your new version is MUCH better and makes flying it from the cockpit a better experience. Thanks to you for your efforts here. Please post when you can. Regards.

Yep, I would have to vote a plus for a clean interior choice. That worn out, wiped out look is not aesthetically appealing at all. Even one plane with a "clean" front panel that would give us the choice would be a real plus.

Hiya Rich --- glad to hear it. Hey, Bob Hoover hopefully will have a chance to fly this one. Such a history there. Just ordered my copy -- hope to get it installed tonight. Should look really good in P3D. :smile:

Been waiting for this one for a long time --- Shrike was a great and fun plane in the 60's. Anyone use the P3D installer yet?? Working OK ??? Thanks!!!

Well I finally got some "practice" and now the weather adjustment is working pretty well after learning the sensitivities. Overall, I am quite pleased with P3D and the upsides it brings to us. Much more to learn for sure -- quite fun!! :smile:

Hello Rich (and all) --- my question applies to using the drop-down menu IN FLIGHT to access the 'user defined weather' function in P3D. I was trying to find out if there indeed is a restriction on using this function DURING A FLIGHT. This is where I get the 'go back and fix the error' window most of the time...and it does not point out what you did to make an error. And it does not say you cannot access this function DURING a flight. This is where I am confused --- but doing it all at the start of a flight seems to work well. Although it should make no difference, I use REX for my texture themes. But REX is not active during my flights...only when wanting to change textures. So anyway, thanks for the feedback. I will continue to experiment with the weather settings in hopes of coming up with some 'rules of the road' regarding where to set these parameters. Cheers!!! :smile:

Hello All --- well, have surfed around and not found much info on weather adjustment in P3D. Am a newbie with P3D and it is just great. One of the more common issues I have run into is adjustment of weather mainly while in a flight. Wondering if this is just not meant to be or if there is a "magic sequence" that we are supposed to use? Seems OK when starting a flight (aircraft on ground) but unlike FSX, in flight weather adjustment is difficult. Mainly with cloud layers. I get lots of error indications but it does not say what is exactly causing the errors. Any help, comments, etc. much appreciated. THANKS!!!

Hello Vortex ---- yes this is what I have been able to realize about where G-Sync monitors have their usefulness. The frame rates in FSX are just too slow for it to function as it should. Since FSX is my main use, looks like I will just stick with my present setup which does a good job but it is always fun to seek something a bit better. Thanks for the post and the link. Much appreciated. Cheers, Bob

Hello Rockliffe and all ---- well, I am onboard with looking for the next step up in monitors and have been studying a bit on the g-sync information since I have a GTX970 which appears to be the required brand for the benefits of g-sync. While I understand the basics of what g-sync does, have a question about its use with FSX. Normally in FSX, the program and GPU are generating frames in the area of 20 - 30 fps. This is relatively slow compared to what the new g-sync monitors are capable of. My understanding is that g-sync in the monitor synchronizes the monitor with the rate at which frames are being sent to the monitor -- which can vary as well. I am wondering if the g-sync system can do its magic on synchronizing frames at that "slow" rate that FSX (and GPU) produces them ??? Possibly I have missed something about how g-sync works but this seems to be the essence of it. All comments welcome please. Trying to make a decision as to whether g-sync and a nice hi res monitor will really provide me some upside. Many Thanks ---- Bob

Thanks Ray --- I will surely want to look at those "goodies" when they are available. Cheers!!

Hello Ray and Bert --- wow, did the mod with Bert's V2 installer kit and it is just superb. Have it in a flight plan right now. Super nice and thanks again. :smile: :smile: :smile: ---- Bob

Hiya Bert -- so far, I have just been trying to install the 750 via the Flight 1 stock installer. For those that asked, I am running Win7-64 Pro for my OS. My FSX version is the Gold pack with Acceleration. Also, I always remove the "Carenado Meteo" install directive in the dll.xml file -- each time I have installed the CJ2. I do this for all Carenado sims that use it. Ray asked about your version there Bert....should I try that one??? Thanks --- Bob

Hi Ranger -- well, somewhat comforting to know I am not alone with the above problems. I guess the way the CJ2 is coded, it is not a "clean" environment for the 750 as we are used to with their previous sims. But that was not their objective, for sure. If Carenado is not going to put out well functioning systems, then it would be nice if they would offer the option to add the 750 or some similar solution. Well, if you come across any workarounds, let us know. Thanks!!! Bob
