NZFF

Nice little scenery for those who spend a fair bit of time in San Francisco, I think this was part of the SF area Aerosoft were working on for FS9, but has now been dropped and Alcatraz was a "Sorry about that guys" gift.

It's all pretty good news, actually. With the improved geospatial coverage it looks like less will be needed to make them park - I guess there will be an AFCAD3 at some point? If the traffic file can be read you wouldn't need an updated TTools. And since GNZLAP is all done in Excel, who knows, it may be worth looking into an FSX update after all. Thanks for that Jon.

Hi Jon, I posted your screenie on another forum where some FSX Beta testers reside. One of them responded and wonders if perhaps you had installed an Fs2004 afcad, which can cause some strange behaviour. He reckons that the offending item is a sign which should be on top of a building. Just for your info. Cheers Stewart Thanks for the reply. My post was very much tounge in cheek and not to be taken seriously. I was mindful of all the flaming happening on many of the forums about FSX performance, so in my best 'poke fun at it all' approach I came across that by accident and decided to...

ANOTHER DEMO VIDEO!! Must be the week for releasing demo videos!! Another fine one, this time from Just flight:- This one is to show the new VFR Real scenery. This week's two excellent demo videos have not get me considering upgrading to FSX, but that means a new computer!! smooth landings.

That's the one and thanks very much for your help :clap:

:thumbup: fsx tweaks links found these over at hover and they have alot more info as those guys got those pre realease copys etc.. so have had abit more time on it to work things out Com-Central Forum Matt Fox's unofficial Tweaks and Mods Avsim Forums JustFlight Forums FRUGALSWORLD  (might get some mileage here - links included in authors post) Arno Gerretsen : My tools in FsX more can be found at the origanil posting HERE HOVER Just a note about the Shadders tweak. The recommendation is turning shaders off and youll see a big increase in performance. This is very true as I...

The houses are part of the Autogen Density display option. By the way, Queenstown with the Red Baron landclass is particularly stunning.

no it is ddr - there is a new generation of boards and AMD cpu coming out to handle DDR2 but thats just not in the budget now. - I have just finished reformatting system and reloading everything and got the demo working - I have to get some time to fiddle with all the settings now to see where I can take this thing - I am still not sold on FSX as it seems I will have to REbuy fsuipc and dreamfleet gear and having only just got them I really need to get some use out of them.

We were able to sell our copies at DSE today. That Deluxe box sure is funky! I like it!

here's a blog entry by the FSX technical art lead, responding to criticism about how people can't set their sliders to full: ==================================================== So I got this comment from my FSX FAQ about why you can't turn all the sliders up: "It really bothers me to see MS design a game for hardware two years out. I want to play the game today (when I bought and PAID for it), not two years from now. Do users complain that with their latest hardware that FS2004 runs too smoothly, frame rates are too fast and and it just looks too good? You don't see...

The RJX/146 is interesting in FSX. I havnt played around with textures in it at all, so I was surprised when..well pictures speak a 1000 words.. For a start FSX automatically adds vortex streams.. But look at this, all is not quite right unless I forgot I made the model with perspex! Hmm, maybe the way the alpha channel is done in FS9 impacts in FS10...you think? The more shine the less you see (or more you see depending on how you look at it) But see through or not, I still love her!!

Is NZAA really "all that" with gates and everything? As good as Shayne's scenery? If so, then I may have to break down and get me some FSX (was going to hold off until January).

touche ;)

This thread on Avsim has some files about reducing the number of trees ie choice but people are pretty pleased. 1st file about trees 2nd about house roofs 3rd a better file for trees ie diff sizes whereas 1st file restricted to 1 size so 3rd file on reading thru seems best some reference to improving frame rate from 11 to 23 etc Only 2 weeks to go to try it and the learning curve for me begins Moe (Peter)

that looks like a missing texture problem to me... remeber, it is the demo :plane: Zoltuger, that problem sounds aweful lot like the one that i had on my computer once. :angry: fortunately i managed to fix it :clap:

Andy Herd from Flightsim.com has done a review of the released version of FSX. It is reasuring for me that I will be sticking with FS9 for a while yet. He talks of having to have all the sliders to the left and he has a way better rig than me! Sorry for not providing a link but check it out,tis time well spent I reckon. <_<

I am inclined to go along with Deanne on this. Since FS98 I have jumped onto the new release of FS ordering from overseas in most case just to get it as early as possible! FS9 sat on my system for about 6 months until a few tweaks were added to improve it eg the dreaded missing Timezones, lower framerate clouds etc. This time around there has been so many good addons around with FS9 I am less inclined to change over especially with the improved textures since the release of VOZ that are rapidly becoming Freeware. Some of the Freeware aircraft of late are simply better in some cases than...

oh and one more thing, when you land and you see the air whizzing over the armed spoilers! (thats so cool) :plane:
