  1. Nice to hear what you are doing Justin. I'll be buying some more worldwide FSGenesis after FTX-Global comes out. Bookmarked Toposim. Looks like I will be adding another FSX-files supplier to my list. Nice!
  2. Read the post above from JV today. ~4.7 compressed (download), ~9GB in HD space needed.
  3. I see. I had already downloaded and installed the fix from them. Works fine now.
  4. Didn't know. I'm going to get it now at their site. Thanks Bert!
  5. I'll be getting is as spoon as it comes out. As for images, John has been posting sample images from different continents and countries for almost two moinths now. Check their forum.
  6. Been a Carenado customer for years. Got the CT206H and now the old U206G is off the hard drive and into backup. 'nuff said. Have flown the new one for 3 hours and severalk landing in ORBx land (Scotland and Australia's bush). Very nice. Really like this airplane.\ One issue that is disappointing to me is that I cannot get the radio buttons to work, Not the radios. That's fine. I am talking about the top controls, COM1, COM2 and beepers selectors for NAV, NAV2, ADF, Marker. At some point I wanted to turn the damn beeper off from some VOR or other and could not click those things to work. Had to resort to pressing keys (CTRL-1, etc. to try to stop them as I did not know which one it was). Do those things work in the interface for you? I'd love to know. Other than this, great plane! I do not have flight time in a real C206 but I did fly in one for 5 hours as a passenger last month. It seems to handle like the real thing to my inexperienced hands. I do not regret removing the old one, but I do miss the tons of paints I had. Hopefully some will start showing up for the new model.
  7. Nice moody edits. Well done.

  9. I had downloaded the day it came out but was doing a tour of RTMM between Prince Rupert and Sitka and that took time.Today I took a break from that trip and went for a visit around Murray Island - YMUI freeware. Wow!Did several turns around the island on different planes to test. see the results (real date/time and weather - REX and Open Clouds):1. Aeronca Champion2. Tiger Moth3. C2064. C185F5. C172FPS stayed above 30 (capped at 40). I'm impressed.

  12. Too little? It's just right! Low and slow, to see the scenery and to land almost anywhere. It is not a bus of course.
  13. You have done a great job Tim. Hat's off to you!
  14. A friend had invited me to fly. We had planned it a month before but today was rainy and low ceiling so we couldn't fly. I took some pictures instead.Maybe some other day.All Ft. Lauderdale Executive (KFXE)1.2.3.4.5.

Always nice to see what people think of your work. In this forum, little or nothing, Take this thread. First comment took a month! I make it a point to comment, especially on unvisited threads. I am a mod in a couple of other forums and we try to make people feel at home. Here, you can hear crickets buzz all night. Go figure.Thank you lifer for your post. I'm glad you liked it. I know I do. Have a nice day.

    Isso é o que em inglês chamamos os "blurries". O sistema (FS9 - FSX) deve recalcular a informação cada vez que vc muda a vista (de afora, ao lado, pra frente). Para isso, têm que pintar é processar muita informação. Isto não é um sistema de jogo da primera pessoa como os de guerra. O volúme da informação, especialmente no FSX com terreio de alta definição (7m, 5m, 2m) es enorme. Para isso deve ter um processador gráfico potente é muita memoria, com um CPU rápido.Si seu computador não pode responder na velocidade necesária, o simulador responde com pintura parcial ("blurries"), até que da tempo de pintar tudo nítido. Si vc não tem um sistema rápido, deve baixar a resolução, ou evitar fazer muita muda de vistas.Disculpe meo Português que está ainda muito esquecido por falta da prática.Alex(Miami - USA)
