I find it does work OK in FSX, but in honest truth, not quite as good as I have it looking in FS9. For the record, here is my ENB setup which I have been tweaking over the last year or so.[PROXY]EnableProxyLibrary=0InitProxyFunctions=0ProxyLibrary=[GLOBAL]UseEffect=1AlternativeDepth=1AllowAntialias=1BugFixMode=0SkipShaderOptimization=0QuadVertexBuffer=0EnableShaders_3_0=1UseMRTRendering=1AdditionalConfigFile=enbseries2.ini[EFFECT]EnableBloom=1EnableOcclusion=0EnableReflection=1EnableMotionBlur=1EnableWater=1EnableShadow=1DepthBias=1EnableDepthOfField=0[iNPUT]KeyUseEffect=123KeyBloom=120KeyOcclusion=121KeyReflection=122KeyCombination=16KeyScreenshot=44KeyShadow=119KeyWater=118KeyShowFPS=106[REFLECTION]ReflectionPower=50ChromePower=100UseCurrentFrameReflection=1ReflectionQuality=1ReflectionSourceSpecular=100ReflectionSourceTFactor=50UseAdditiveReflection=1ReflectionDepthBias=1UseLowResReflection=1ReflectionSinglePass=1UseEnvBump=1EnvBumpAmount=100EnvBumpOffset=100ReflectionFlip=0[bLOOM]BloomPowerDay=19BloomFadeTime=2000BloomConstantDay=6BloomQuality=1BloomScreenLevelDay=60BloomCurveDay=1BloomPowerNight=10BloomConstantNight=5BloomCurveNight=0BloomScreenLevelNight=20BloomAdaptationScreenLevel=80BloomAdaptationMultiplier=10BloomAllowOversaturation=0BloomMaxLimit=100[sSAO]UseFilter=1OcclusionQuality=2FilterQuality=1DarkeningLevel=25BrighteningLevel=30IlluminationLevel=30AdditiveIlluminationLevel=30UseAmbientOcclusion=1UseIndirectLighting=1FadeDistance=50UseForAlphaTest=0UseForAlphaBlend=0[colorCORRECTION]DarkeningAmountDay=19ScreenLevelDay=60ScreenLevelNight=20DarkeningAmountNight=24GammaCurveDay=0GammaCurveNight=-2ColorSaturationDay=0ColorSaturationNight=0UsePaletteTexture=0[WATER]UseWaterDeep=0WaterDeepness=20WaterQuality=0[sHADOW]ShadowFadeStart=40ShadowFadeEnd=80ShadowAmountDay=100ShadowAmountNight=30ShadowScreenLevelDay=60ShadowScreenLevelNight=20ShadowQuality=1UseShadowFilter=0FilterQuality=2ShadowBlurRange=30[ENGINE]ForceAnisotropicFiltering=0MaxAnisotropy=8ForceDisplayRefreshRate=0DisplayRefreshRateHz=75[MOTIONBLUR]MotionBlurQuality=2MotionBlurVelocity=2MotionBlurRotation=2[PERPIXELLIGHTING]SpecularColorMin=0SpecularColorMax=100SpecularColorMultiplier=100SpecularGlossinessMin=0SpecularGlossinessMax=100SpecularGlossinessMultiplier=100[DEPTHOFFIELD]DOFQuality=1DOFNumberOfPasses=5DOFFocusRange=1000DOFBlurinessRange=1

Cheers, Ian, I have plenty more in the pipeline and am definitely learning each time. I think I might venture into some FSX development this year as well, after I wrap up some loose ends. That will certainly make the poly count a lot easier :)ATB,Steve

Hello again KiwiFlyer,what a pleasant suprise to encounter such civic response on a forum these days, where comments can often come off too hostile or defensive and things get out of control. I appreciate your opinion even if the VC is not your cup of tea. The examples you quoted are all stellar, and certainly my VC is not on the same playing field as those. As I say though, above all I feel it did maintain a respectable par with Alpha's model, which for me, as a relative newcomer to the world of modelling, was good. Future releases will continue to improve, although this will be on projects other than the Canberra. I do hope that you can get some enjoyment out my Canberras regardless; this as you may have guessed, is my all-time favourite aircraft and I would like to feel I have done some justice to the type for the FS9 world.All the best to you,Steve

Hello Kiwiflyer45,Steve Beeny, creator of the Canberra line here. First and foremost let me thank Jinx for his kind comments. While has no commercial connection at all to Flying Stations, such a glowing review is much appreciated. Now, normally I would not post back on something like this, and I do of course believe everyone is entitled to their opinion, this being a forum and a free world. I do however, feel your comment, Kiwi, on the VC being not even close to current payware standards, was a touch harsh. Admittedly, it is not at the standard of many FSX creations, but you may or may not be aware of the poly limitations that FS9 developers have to work to. It is therefore, harder to both a) bash out every single nut and bolt in glorious 3D and also get the high level of sharpness that you get in FSX with 2048x2048 textures. Personally speaking I think my VC was on at least equal par to the more expensive Alphasim Canberras, and actually contained more features in the VC. I would also like to say that my sales, while perhaps not as stellar as some of the other big boy companies out there, were respectable enough, and there was not one single complaint at any point about the quality of the VC.I do not want to come across unnecessarily defensive here, but I found it a bit much to say that a sub-par VC was the factor in letting down a line of Canberra models, which on the whole have been very well-received. Again, you are always entitled to your opinion, customer or not, it's just I felt I had to address this one. All the best,Steve

Hi Steffenyes, I am indeed one of the Flying Stations team, but I had no idea about the 'commercial developer' status or the need to be listed as one. If this is the case, would you be able to do that for me, or if not, who I need to contact? I will advise my team members of the same if they are listed on here too.Best,Steven

Hi Nick, thanks for the PM, check yours as I have duly responded. Also, thanks for your compliments, always nice to know RAF and Canberra work is appreciated. Not that many of us Cranberry fans in the FS world, so it is a pleasure to meet a new one.ATB,Steve

That was one of mine; you can download it from www.nazcastudios.com - then go to 'Gaming' and use the repaint console to navigate to the repaint. I tried to upload it here but no joy due to permissions. If you can't get it from my site for whatever reason, send me a PM or email me through my web site and I will send you the zip. At the risk of a spot of promoting my own products, have you tried my new T.17 for FS9? It comes with both camo WH664 and the classic hemp 'Echo Mike' WD955 in hemp.http://www.flyingstations.com/canberra-pack-tugs-trainers.htmlATB,Steve

Really, really nice video, probably the best I have seen yet. Your camera angles are superb. What a fantastic promo - many thanks for posting it here. And yes, the 'doughnut' is indeed a DV panel.

Thanks guys, the B-57 is going to be a good one - in the mean time here are some sneak peaks of the coming pack...bomber power!B.16 (with planned weapon effects):B(I).6:B.6 in Ecuadorian colours:

Forgot to mention, not sure if this was already picked up on, but the B.1 pack is also out, and the next pack to follow next week hopefully.http://www.flyingstations.com/canberra-pack-b1.html

Cheers fellas for the support, really glad to hear the shopping aspect of it has gone smoothly. B(I).12, well as I said over at SOH, I would love to keep making Canberras till the cows come home, but a lot of it depends on the success of the upcoming packs already in development (bomber canopy only at the moment). So, if you want the B(I) stuff, tell your friends, your friend's friends, etc etc. and keep the ball rolling! :)

Hello all!Well, at long last the second of the new Canberra series for FS9 is ready for download at the princely sum of $5.00 USD from the link below. This pack forms the second in the series, following on from the freeware B.2 pack just released. More to follow soon.http://flyingstation...ra-pack-b1.htmlPilot's Notes are available in PDF from the main download page, and an ongoing support thread has been set up on our forum here: http://z13.invisionf...hp?showtopic=88Thanks to all for your continued interest and happy flying!Steve

Yes, if you download the Pilot's Notes from the main web page, instructions are provided in the VC section at the end on all VC operations. But, in a nutshell, you must arm the master arming switch for bomb bay stores, then toggle the station 2 load release (I think it was station 2!) and away she goes.

Hello all,Steve Beeny here of Flyingstations.com. Really glad to hear you found the new Canberra and are getting on well with it. I hope that any download problems have been dealt with and everyone's up and flying - if not, please let me know and I'll see what I can do. Regarding US Canberras, yes, the B-57A/RB-57A are planned, but not the tandem cockpit versions as of yet. Many other bomber canopy variants to come as well. Happy flying and thanks again for checking us out.Best,Steve
