One final question... How does it fit with ORBIX scenery?

Ooh-err!

I heard that there was a C130 with 4.3. Is it true?

Looks good! Can you adjust the number of stars you see? I have seen that many stars in the sky, but only when I was in the Sahara, miles away from any light pollution!

Nice choice of aircraft Steph! I have this aircraft in my stable. It is so extraordinary I had to have it even though it goes against my "RAF only" rule. I got around my rule by doing a re-paint in Empire Test School colours and basing it at Porton Down! It was interesting to see the Osprey refuelling, At first I would have thought it easier to use a boom rather than a hose to refuel, but I suppose that requires the aircraft to be closer to pull it off. With those massive blades you probably want as much distance as possible between the tanker and refuelling aircraft.

Great Pirep Matt. Four aircraft!! That will keep them guessing!

That makes sense as some of the default aircraft are JF and they are not Impacted. I will reinstall the aircraft and see where that gets me.

Thanks Boss. Setting SEE_SELF to "1" seems to cure most aircraft. However the JF Hawk, JF Tristar and the JF Tornado remain invisible! It must be a JF thing I need to fix. J.

I have to agree with you John. I run P3D v4.2 on a windows 10 64 bit platform and it is the best sim I have owned to date. There are a few issues with older add-ons but the best vendors are doing their best to bring their add-ons into the v4 world. Just Flight are probably the best at doing this, unfortunately Aerosoft doesn't seem to be. I am waiting for their Lightnings to show as being V4x compatible. I think I might have a long wait!

For some reason the rotary encoder changes the Prepar3D.cfg SEE_SELF value to zero. Setting this value back to 1 solves the problem except for one view. Could some kind person please check their value of SEE_SELF and post it here? The issue seem like it might be something to do with the software I am using to interpret the Rotary Encoder output and the way it interfaces with FSUIPC. Thanks.

Update. I deleted my Prepar3D.cfg file and this fixed the issue. I have managed to find the source of the issue. Its a rotary encoder I have set up to control the rudder trim. so it seems to be an issue with the encoder itself or with the software that controls it. I will post more here as I further my investigations.

I think I must have changed a setting by accident or something similar but I cant seem to find out where. I now have invisible aircraft, both addons and those that came with P3D. At least from the outside. The interior views are fine, but all external views show nothing whatsoever. Not even a black aircraft shape. Its like the aircraft have a cloaking system! This situation survives a P3D restart and even a PC reboot. Can anyone suggest what it might be? Thanks in advance, JG

Michael Fish gave us a bum weather forecast the day before the 1987 storm, which has gone down in British history as probably the biggest weather forecast bungle ever. The Mexican woman above gives a bum weather forecast every day and nobody seems to mind, in fact people seem to love it! As our American cousins say: Go figure!

This is a common mistake made by foreigners. The cloud is to be found over Wales. My son went to University in Bangor, North Wales. During freshers week he was advised to get a pair of wellies as, "if it isn't raining in Bangor, then it is just about to". After his three years there and visiting Bangor many times I think I only we there once when it didn't rain. However it was snowing at the time.

A-ha Universal Exports eh? I use them a lot if is the same company. Is it the one located at Vauxhall Cross House 85 Albert Embankment in Vauxhall, London UK? Very reliable business, I believe both Jasmin and Clive work for them. Great flight! I hope you can keep down your next meal!

@ Needles. What Brian isn't telling you is that the sunshine only last a couple of hours, 'cause its dark the rest of the day!

Very belated birthday Joe. I hope you had a good one.

Happy birthdate Al! Sorry for being late, but I was away on my holidays.

I am glad to see we have a return to manufacture guarantee on them!

I am back from my holidays now and I have to say that Gib. is a special place. I loved it, Its more British than the UK! Apart from having British Bobby's, helmets and all, the phone boxes, pillar boxes, litter bins, traffic lights etc. etc. are the same. They are fiercely British, and like the Spanish to know it. There are little things that if you look for you will find. For example, on the pillar boxes in the UK there is the royal coat of arms of the monarch reigning when the box was installed. These are painted red, the same as the rest of the box. In Gib. they are picked out in black so
