Hi everyone, I have just purchased ssw f84 on sale. this aircraft though very nice to look at, eats up precious vas at an alarming rate and inevitably causes oom ctd. 1. i have tested using the ssw f84, m2m mirage 2000 and the JF tornado. 2. on loading the ssw f84, through fsuipc i can see that there is between 800 - 750 mb vas left with the f 84. on startup and arming this figure goes down to about 500 mb. on takeoff 450 - 375 mb. during circuits the dreaded ding starts and oom message on final. all this happens in a time frame of seven to nine minutes. effecctively, i cant fly the ssw f84 more than 10 min at a time. 3. no such problem with the m2m mirage. Even the vas eating jf tornado gives me around one hour of flight time before the ding starts. 4. i have asked for this to be addressed in the ssw support forum but the developer says that this is due to fsx being 32 bit program and the model is fine he says the only solution is to remove addons. 5. any ssw f84 drivers out there facing the same problems and have managed a workaround? please do help me out as i have narrowed the loss of vas to the plane model as no other plane in my virtual hangar causes this. thanks, Ajay Bala my system specs i5 4690k, z97, 16 gb ddr3, r9 280x 3gb, win 10 pro 64 bit. fsx acceleration, dx 9 , tex max load- 1024 sincerely Ajay Bala

i feel deeply for you. all i can say is, keep on fighting. my heart felt sympathies to your family. best regards, ajay

their website now defaults to the google search page now. their website now defaults to the google search page now.

true railworks has a lot of but eye candy but nothing like run8 as far as physics is concerned. fsx on the other hand is driven by third party devs who put a lot of effort in realism and as it is fsx acheives a bit of realism.good and realistic effects will just add to that.

hey there, anything that increases immersion in flying is wecome. that includes better lights, rain effects, water flowing from fuselage when flying in rain. all these are intrinsic to the sim and when implimented will be applied to all addons. also they would be cool to have.

yea!!! finally we can expect awesome railworks style rain effects with working wiping effects in fsx

tried it my pc specs i5 [email protected] 8 gb ddr3 ram r9 280x aircraft Iris PC21 (Hog Hog Hog) Scenery Orbx Pnw KSEA (Hog x 5) takeoff fiber on 5.1 fps fiber off 4.5 fps over Seattle fiber on 8.9 fps fiber off 5.2 fps >30 nm from seattle fiber on 12.2 fps fiber off 7.3 fps effectively this add on gives a good relative boost but does nothing to hold desired fps.

I paid 9.99 US for the captain sim t7. Look what that got me. Exactly 9.99 worth of plane. hardly fly it due to bugs and frame rate issues.

i just bought the plane yesterday. i did not read anything but using common sense looked for the apu, started it and then went on to start the engines using the starter switches. did not compute init ref or even turn on the fms. just set flaps 5, added power and rotated at 110 knots. to me it seems that the controls are not as responsive as the aircraft seems to follow the motion of the yoke with a delay of maybe half a sec or more. this behaviour forced me to think ahead and i turned for final into khqm and landed at about 100 knots with the throttles halfway. so this bird does require some serious power applied while landing. landing was a breeze, un- managed, with the flaps fully applied. sorry about the lack of pictures as i have yet to master the fine art of taking screenshots. happy flying.

is it just me or is the dash 8 q400 actually increasing frame rates in fsx! with this aircraft i get better frame rates than even when using the default trike. scenery used - orbx khqm. new tech rules!

will do Colin. Thanks

milviz has released an update for its b55. I've purchased the same from the avsim store when it was functional. how do i update now?

could the railworks rain effect be modified for fsx?

disable accufeel for this plane. I did and it flies like a dream.
