speaking of lights, the strobe lights on most aircraft look horrible in V3 now. We're back to fs2000 strobes!

Then why the heck did you waste everyones time with your reply? It has absolutely no bearing on the posters question.

I will be moving my correspondence to the simforums.

I'll try to reach out to him via the other forum. Thanks!

Perhaps I am still missing something, but I have always thought that the camera function within OPUS is extremely convoluted and unnecessarily difficult to set up. That being said, Ive read the manuals and have tried for 2 years to successfully set up external aircraft views. I am able to successfully set up multiple VC views and can effectively cycle through those views using a key command I setup in the shortcuts. I use Cntl + J to cycle up and cntrl + I to cycle down. Why dont these controls work when I am switched to opus external view? I have setup multiple external views successfully. However I am unable to cycle through them. When in opus external view custom default view shows fine, but when I attempt to cycle to the next view, it puts me back into VC view mode. Please help.

When disconnecting the Autopilot while on short final (in APP mode), I loose complete control... more specifically, the aircraft rolls violently or shoots straight up into the air. I am unable to regain control for about 15 seconds or so, which is usually too late. Just to clarify, the autopilot DOES disengage completely, but... The second I disengage it, the aircraft goes bonkers and will not respond to any manual control input for 10 to 15 seconds. I understand that support for P3d is not guaranteed, but when you offer a separate installer for it, that's a fair indication to your buyers that it will indeed function properly in P3d. There is also a forum topic about this issue in the QW forums at http://qwsim.flight1.net/forums/qw757-autopilot-big-issues_topic4114.html but, it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

sorry for bumping a topic that is nearly a year old... blame google. How were you able to get the POSKY aircraft to show in P3d V2? The 757-200 in particular, I cant get to show up at all. Thanks.

Can we please stick to the topic of the post? Many of us are diligently following the progress LM makes on this cloud issue and have chosen to receive notifications when a new post is made. That coupled with the fact the new readers to the topic already have to sift through a dozen pages in this thread as it is... Let's make it easier for all involved. Please and thanks.

Which 737?

My understanding is that it does exactly as asn does. Simply place a check mark in the historical weather box, and load the Sim on the time and date you wish to fly, and opus does the rest. It should also be noted that OPUSFSX is now outdated. It's new version is CALLED OPUSFSI

I'm not using emt, vanilla install with only the ifly 737 (which is a P3D supported aircraft) added. Adding any clouds, drops my FPS down to single digits. In 2.1 I was able to hold 25 in complete IMC.

I had a feeling someone would say that. I disagree completely. As a real world pilot, I enjoy all aspects of flying...even the learning part. I find it "fun." Just because P3d is a learning tool, doesnt mean NOT having fun is a requirement... :rolleyes:

Yeah, for the past few months I've been a huge advocate of P3d. Haven't had FSX installed in almost a year now. This is the fist time since I switched that I'm pondering going back to FSX. You hit the nail on the head when you said this new version just isn't any fun.

One thing is for certain. With this new version, I can no longer fly the iFly 737 aircraft without it being a slide show. I hadn't flown it since 2.1 and in that version it was fine.
