Thank you
Just wanted to say thank you to the guys who develop this great addition to the hobby, its so refreshing to see it being released for free, when in this hobby, even small utilities and, ahem, 'HD' trees etc. can incur a relatively large charge. no greed, just the desire to help, that's awesome. Cheers guys! :wub:

low vis. even on max vis settings
trying out the demo of AS16, and its great, but im having vis issues. it seems to default most weather conditions to quite hazy in the distance. also when forced to 200vis with custom wx get a white band on the horizon, this is with 200 for both max vis settings. anything i can do to remove this? and is the lowish vis with 'real' weather (not pictured) normal? cheers!

AS16 Visibility settings
i had to set my max vis surface and high alt. to 200 to get even a remotely clear day. seems like the vis is way lower than it indicates. i.e. 200 miles is practically beyond your eyes ability to discern, but its still quite foggy in the distance, tested with custom weather with low humidity etc,. this is at 10-15,000 feet. am I doing something wrong here? tried with and without PTA no diff. love the engine though, will defo be buying.

Fluid frames tweaks?
just joined the 45hz club too, doesn't work so well with the pmdg 73 and fog. but for less demanding things should be good to go! going to try 35hz. 5 fps is a difference! edit: 35 works fine

Fluid frames tweaks?

Fluid frames tweaks?
wow. just made a custom resolution for my monitor for 30hz and its insane how much of a difference it makes! so smooth! wish there was a way of making it so that it swaps to that mode when in p3d and not in desktop because I sure cant use 30hz for anything else..

Cloud shadows vanish
Hey, it happens at any shadow quality / cloud shadow distance. Its like its removing the cloud when i cant see it and thus the associated shadow.

Cloud shadows vanish
Hi guys, recently got p3d v3 and am noticing that when panning, as soon as a cloud goes offscreen, the associated shadow vanishes, this can be pretty jarring. any ideas on how to resolve this? Cheers!

AOPA's Flight Review - "Negative transfer of learning"
not really, when i was instructing, the fnpt 2 fully authorized certified simulator you could pull as many gs as you wanted and you wont break anything. and it wont spin properly.flight training aids are for learning the procedures and normal maneuvers, not pulling stupid g or spins

ILS RWY / GS

james_2k replied to fishn_cpa's topic in Video Hardware: Monitors | Multi-Monitors | Video Cards | Drivers etc560TI would be a better choice than the 460 as its more powerful and still very affordable.

ILS RWY / GS
all ilses do indeed have glideslopes. but you sometimes just get localiser only approaches. (LOC DME) then you are on your own regarding vertical profile. save for suggested altitudes at DME distances.localiser is the horizontal component of the ILS by the way for those who dont know
