  1. But Chris, thats what they call progress.......
  2. Just one thought. ORBX England is a lot harder on FPS around the London area than the global/vector/OpenLC package. So you have to adjust the sliders to that when flying there. I actually find it to be to much and would have prefered a "lighter" London area. That way, the whole region would have been in a better balance. Dont add any airport scenery in the London area if you use FTX England.
  3. I´m reading the Aivlasoft manual right now and I´m pretty sure its something for me. The good thing is that there is a full and free 30 days demo, which I will start testing very soon. Its not cheap though if you end up liking it. 75,-€ . But I like these addons that can be used on many AC, so even though my economy is Spanish (read low income compared to most of you guys) I will purchase it if I like it. But it has to convince me. I also seem to remember that fsx data base can be updated but i have to do some diggin to find out. EDIT: I found the source. I dont know if its of any use a
  4. Hmm, this is not good. A parallel story: Some weeks ago i read a short article about Airbus engine control problems and that maybe a large amount of AC would have to be checked. I couldnt find the article later on and since it was one of these short yahoo front page news, I didnt take it very serious. I think it was about their Jet airliners but I´m not sure. Has anyone else read something about this?
  5. The French havent grounded their A400M They will use them only if it is strictly very important. (whatever that means) They said that right after the crash.
  6. I´m a lurker here. Its a very interesting thread. I agree that its often a mess to do a decent jetliner planning. I´m flying in Europe. By the way, what is PSX. I know what PFPX is (dont have) Sometimes all the abreviations make interesting threads very difficult to read. (I use a lot myself) I would happily buy (for a decent price) a set of charts with corresponding Airac cycle and stay with that for a long time, but as it is now, with a monthly or yearly subscribtion, I pass.
  7. Yes, and its good it is so. We live in a world where we think we can get everything now if we have the money. I think it is or was Digital aviation that is making this addon. It has been trashed at least one time. But it looks like it will come out, maybe, this year. The most interesting part of the thread is how it changes over time and how some people react to the way things are comming out. I have only read small parts of it over the last year and a half, but sometimes it goes really berserk.
  8. So, now the Aerosoft CRJ 700 preview has reached the 100+ pages. It started in 2010 and the AC has now reached beta testing. I like flying jets, but normally less than 500Nm and I´m very interested in this one so once in a while i take a look on the preview thread. The few Aerosoft AC that i have have been used a lot and I generally like their addons (also scenery) The thread is a prime example of the flightsim community. You have everyone there from the loyal aerosoft costumer who is saying "take your time" over the total nickpicker wanting every little detail (color of seats etc.) to be
  9. Thats my feeling as well. And its not only the French goverment. The 400M factory is in Seville, a region with a very high unemployment. They have an orderlist of hundreds of these AC and they would like to build them. And, of course, sell them.
  10. John, its a military Aircraft and the minister of defense has been told to wait. (or shut up) We might never get the facts. The official story about the black boxes is that they were severely damaged in the accident. Besides, many people ,like me, dont feel to good about this Airbus computer control thingie, so they may be reluctant to say what happened if it indeed was a software problem. We live in a very nervous world. Especially when it comes to money.
  11. I find that the weather engine is a lot more important than textures. A good weather engine will make even default cloud and sky textures look great and remember that a lot of complex real weather layers with high resolution cloud textures means serious fps drop.
  12. I like to fly and I dislike using to much time/energy on setting up things and reading manuals, so i go simple and fast and it works really well. I use Fsglobal real weather as a weather machine and some HD freware cloud textures. Sometimes, I use the soft clouds, but mostly because the one texture they install is low quality resolution and so, it runs lighter on fps.
  13. Christopher, how do you find that orbx ireland compares to orbx England? You see, of all the orbx regions, the only one I know pretty well in real life, is Ireland and I agree that its not very good. Yes, its goodlooking and kind of sweet and green but far from reality. And even without the Aerosoft Dublin airport, the fps impact in the Dublin area is big.
  14. It looks great. I´ve been to Western Ireland for a couple of month the last 2 summers. And you photo real scenery looks very correct. I have the ORBX Ireland scenery and I find it to be very much so-so. Its pretty but far from realistic especially when it come to villages. In orbx scenery they are all the same size and they a round. In reality, Irish villages are small thin strips of houses following the narrow roads. How much HD space does the whole of Ireland need?
  15. As usual in these accidents, untill they get to analyse the black boxes, there´ll be a ton of speculations, theories and anonimous specialists saying this and that. I just write what is being told in the Spanish news. Here, they are, of course, very worried. Its a big factory in zone with very high unemployment.
  16. Yesterday, Airbus told all their A400M clients that the electronic system that controls the engines ( ECU ) should be revised. They didn´t say anything about the Seville accident. A socalled anonymous expert, close to Airbus has said the the Seville crash most probably has to do with software install problems, and that 3 engines stopped shortly after start. It hasn´t been possible to analyse the black boxes yet so everything is still in the speculation phase, but it is, of course, worth noticing that Airbus has said that all ECU should be revised.
  17. Its ok. Accepted and no more comments from me on this subject.
  18. If you flew the Baron over lets say London, saved the flight and loaded again, changed to the reviewed AC, you´ll get some kind of Benchmark. In my opinion it would be way better than no benchmark. It should, of course, be stated in the review that the fps was monitored that way and that it might be different on other PC´s, depending on hardware and software. At least it would be some kind of guidance. Its sooo annoying to buy an AC that doesnt run on your system. And finally, since I know from personal experience that saying something about the reviews here often provokes strong opinions, le
  19. Well written and very enthusiastic review. I have no doubts that the reviewer like the AC Just one thing from me this time and its a general one regarding Mutley´s reviews (and most other reviews): Performance on your computer. You write it has a slight dip in fames (fps). IMHO, since this is very important info for the consumer it would be a good idea that Mutley´s reviews had a standard way of meassuring fps. I will suggest: Take a similar default AC (in this case the Baron) a similar place, with the same settings, weather etc. and compare. Its important that its in a place where fps is
  20. Well, Chris, the best is that life goes on and we all learn and from what you write I dont think you have much to regret or that you did something wrong. As I said its very easy to step on someones toes in the flightsim community. And I agree that MH is by far the most civilized Flightsim forum. Besides occasionally frequenting other forums, this is the only one where I´m active.
  21. Chris, I´m sorry to hear your bad experience. The flightsim community can be very picky. And maybe you didn´t do things the way they should have been done. Did you ask for permission before you made your move? Remember this is some peoples work that has taken them years to create. Just because its freeware, doesnt mean that we can do with it what we think is right. So if you asked first then you were treated badly, if you didnt, remember to do so next time. I had everything Misty Fjords installed in FS9 untill recently (and funny enough, the addons are very different. Many places have no
  22. Spain has grounded their AC as well. I understand that the length and people aboard procedures is standard and that they have a reason and that , but isnt it so that standard procedures can be and sometimes should be changed? Sometimes you learn something that makes you change your mind. If not, you are not very intelligent. So maybe a low fuel/ few people pre-first flight would be a good idea? If I had made my own AC, I wouldnt fill the tanks and take the kids with me on the first flight. Besides, this AC crashed very close to where a lot of people were working in a big industrial site. T
  23. I havent seen any new explanations in Spanish media for a couple of days. I just wonder, why do you fuel an aircraft for a 6 hours flight when it is the first flight? Isnt that a bit risky?
  24. As far as I know, they dont have uninstallers, which IMHO is ridiculous and not very professional. In all reviews that should be mentioned and if points are given, less should be given.. Then maybe they would cinsider making uninstallers. But it seems like ORBX is something that cannot be critizised and that everyone accepts their ways. On the other hand, uninstallers can be "dangerous" The Globe Swift from Aeroplane Heaven erased my effects folder.
  25. Thanks, I will have a look and take my time. What I´m looking for is something like Scenery CFG editor (SCE). Nothing more, nothing less. I cant make it work for both P3D and FSX and adding scenery using the sim menu takes a lot of time. I´m using SCE in P3D. I need something for FSX
