  1. Thanks Brett. There seems to be no alpha channel on the main surface files. I still have the shine but a darker paint makes things better. Is there another way to make a paint shine?

    I love that chunk of iron! Good choice!
  3. I am sure you can be arrested for that!
  4. I have to echo the good Captains comments here. I always wait for some maturity in a produce unless I see that it has someone large behind it. P3D has LM behind it and has already proved its worth. But Dovetail? Sure they produce plenty of games so they should stick to doing just that. Any FS worth its salt is not really a game, again P3D is a good example of this, and if is seen as a game it will probably fail as it will never be able to produce the immediate full on action that a good game will. Microsoft's attempt at a re-entry into the FS world failed for this very reason. It
  5. I am repainting a Gazelle helicopter and have some problems with the gloss effect on the aircraft skin. The Gazelle comes with two aircraft types; A civil aircraft with a fantastic shine to it and a military version with a nice eggshell finish. My problem is that I want to do a repaint that shows the aircraft in Royal Marines colours. This aircraft will have to be a repaint of the civil aircraft as the French military aircraft has an engine filter that the UK versions never had. I have compared all of the files in the textures directories and there seems to
  6. Have a look here: http://indiafoxtecho.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Eurofighter Scroll down under the picture of the Eurofighter and you will see a link for an upgrade to P3D v4x. However, It is for 64 bit PCs only.
  7. When I was a child I travelled back from Majorca with Dan Air on a BAC 1-11. On arriving at Luton airport we landed a bit heavily, but not horrendously so, and as we touched down my window broke. Now I understand why the stewardess when white when I told her and why she rushed off to the Captain!

    Thanks Alan. The second link doesnt seem to work.
  9. Where do I find the upgrade? All I can see is the full version.
  10. It should be in your inbox now!
  11. Drunk driver moose fails to walk a straight line!
  12. I havent got the Simworks Phantom in my collection but I do have the MilViz one and I also have the JF Tornado. I have had a few problems with the MilViz Phantom, ones that I havent heard anyone else having so they are most likley some sort of local conflict. I had this running for a while in FSX and apart from my local issues I loved this addon. The JF Tornado is a great aircraft to fly. It is complex but worth mastering, JF supply a 144 page manual which may seem like a lot of reading but there are plenty of addons just as complex with a three page manual. JF contin
  13. I have a multi-screen setup with screens running from HDMI, VGA and USB interfaces. I had some issues with Saitek controllers not working. I traced this to a powered hub they were connected to. Playing around I found that: Saitek hardware doesn’t like USB 3. You must plug them into a USB 2 socket. I had to buy a USB 2 Card to get around this issue as I have four Saitek controllers attached to my PC. Saitek hardware is power hungry it needs a big chunk of the power chucked out by USB sockets. A USB hub can’t cope with this if it is not powered. I still found issues when
  14. I am still using 4.0 and would like to hear of peoples experiences in upgrading to 4.2. before taking the plunge. Any issues? anything to look out for? any compatabilities problems?
  15. I have a flight plan for the Mac Loop but I am not sure of the best way to get it to you if you are interested.

    Great pics Alan! Is she compatable with P3D v4? If so where can I get her?
  17. Leg 34 Part one: SKBO Eldorado Intl (Bogota, Colombia) to MPMG Marcos A Gelabert Intl (Panama City, Panama.) At the end of Leg 22 I found myself on the Pacific Island of Niue, I was bundled into a van and taken to a place called Turtle Lodge to wait for Joe to catch us up for leg 23. I was under secure guard as a hitman called Boris Storarovson was looking for me with a view to doing his job. The baton was duly handed over to Joe. There was suspicion in his eyes as he weighed up the Baton in his hands but he said nothing. He had the real Baton but had correctly realized that it was some
