Thank you Sabre, you are my Hero now! . I was playing around with trimming last night, and have found that it's a lot easier to get the plane trimmed up if you use the scroll wheel on the mouse instead of the key board to do it . Elevators are still a bit of a pain though,(they seem to be all or nothing!)but you can get a level flight in this plane by messing about with a combination of elevator/engine revs/prop pitch . Cheer's...Graham...

I think its related to the standard FSX settings as I have my Dornier set at "cold and dark" but as soon as the flight loads and your sitting in the VC the engine revs up then stops, and reverts to to my cold and dark setting. Maybe something to do with the normal FSX aircrafts screen loading animation? then again, I could be wrong about that, but at leats you know its not just you that has this happening when useing add on aircraft Cheer's...Graham...

Hi and thanks again. With regards to REX being sluggish, I'll stop worrying about it, and leave it aloan now then The overdrive is a huge download (3.6 GB) and once instaled it looks like it gives you double the amount of options in each of the Categories, so more than I will ever need, I would think. If you have a fast internet conection, I don't think there is any harm in downloading it as I think its nice to have the whole shooting match of something once in a while , and the big bonus is that it's free :icon_rockon: Cheer's...Graham...

I think there's a dark art to trimming because I don't get it either. One of the experts here may advise, start a post about it. We need some flying lessons Only managed a short flight in it so far times been a bit limited, I've been concentrating on trying to understand the Garmin GNC430 in my C208B Grand Caravan :blink: OK, good idea, and it's your turn to start a thread I think? (your better with words than me anyway ) Got to say, I can trim the Do-27 pretty well, but the F33A is a not good at all, even the smallest movement on the elevator sends it into a climb, or a dive??? can

You can hand start Ants Tiger Moth! I was mucking about with it the other day and noticed that if you put your curser on the prop and pull down, it will fire up the engine I thought that was REALLY cool :icon_thumbup: Also, agree that your scenery looks stunning :001_th_smiles89: Cheer's...Graham...

Hi Sabre. How are you getting on with your new F33A? seems to be very detailed cockpit wise, and I think that the sun shades are a really cool feature . I'm having a bit of trouble trimming ATM, just can't seem to get it right, must be doing something wrong Don't really think the F33A Bonanza is a low and slow plane, but my Do-27 fits that bill very nicely, so I will just use the F33A for longer flights as it's faster and has almost twice the range of my little Dornier :icon_thumbup: . Cheer's...Graham...

Yes, REX does has that effect! I have REX to thank for my screenies too. They're also unedited apart from the last (757), with only a very slight contrast enhancement. You just wait till you try some of the other dawn & dusk variations. :icon_thumbup: Oh. and don't forget to put up a third shot before the end of the month :001_th_smiles89: Martyn Thanks for the comments, will add another screen shot soon, once I have one that is good enough! That is . Think that REX is really good, although I am not sure that my copy is installed correctly ATM. I did do exactly as the instructions

Hi All. First time for a screen shot contest for me here, thought that I would try my luck as I have just bought REX and everything looks "DRAMATIC" to me now . OK, I just took my first shot out! I was keen to try out my new Do-27 repaint, and thought that the Swissair Dornier in the Alps look good so I decided to use it instead. I'm English bred, but now live in Canada so my second offering was made over the Great Lakes. Just added a third shot, this one came out of a flight I just did from Bodmin to the Channel Islands. (no editing done, these shots came straight out of FSX) #1: Lookin

Yeah your right, stick to an aircraft and learn it ...........................hmmmmm................................... then again ..................... maybe just one more. BTW I blew this weeks and next weeks and ... and .... and ... well lots of budget last week Must remember to intercept the visa bill when it lands Sorry to report that I am weak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!It's Done!!!!Downloading Now!!!!!Please don't Tell The wife "LOL" !!!!! And here she is, very nice plane indeed with tons of details and other stuff to tinker about wit

I know it’s very tempting isn’t it! , I just blew out on my budget for this week when I got REX, so I think I’ll still with the Do-27 for a while and learn all I can about flying form that, as I don’t think it's clever to keep swapping and changing planes all the time when you are just learning the basics of flight. Cheer’s…Graham….

Hi Sabre. If you want one of the smaller "CARENADO" aircraft there are some downloads on sale at justflight, I was very tempted to get the F33A Bonanza (FOR FSX) as it's only $15.30 ATM. Here's the link to the page, just scroll down untill you see the on sale planes http://www.justflight.com/downloadproducts.asp?cat=1∼=5&type=&product=All+Products&imageField.x=62&imageField.y=13 Cheer's...Graham...

Another Hill fort from my cockpit, this one is Maiden Castle in Dorset http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maiden_Castle,_Dorset it's a awesome place to visit, and is reported to be the largest hill fort in Europe, makes you wonder how the heck did they build these places with no machines! just shear muscle power and determination I guess :phew: Cheer's...Graham...

Very Nice :001_th_smiles89:

It bloody well is Joe, I've only be in Canada for a few years and I miss the West Country badly at time's Classic example below, this is the town of Langport showing how the river Parret runs around it, I used to spend half my life down there fishing! and the other half fishing on another river "LOL" Cheer's...Graham...

Thanks for the comments, I agree about the Do-27, it's a really nice plane to fly around in, it's just pity that the FSX version has a few bugs that the developers at digital aviation never bothered to sort out , but apart from that I love the thing . Here's another shot of the Do-27, if you look below the plane you can see Cadbury Castle, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadbury_Castle,_Somerset This was quite close to were I used to live in Somerset. I have visited this place in person a few times, as I have an interest in old iron age forts, and it was a real buzz for me to be able to find

Glad thats sorted out for you Mate . I loaded up the demo of their airfields the other day, they seem to work very well on my justflight real scenery, only problem that I can see ATM, is that the tops of the mountains in Wales have turned a few shades darker than the bottoms?, although that may not be related to adding the demo!, as I have been playing about with my setting a bit, and may have screwed something up in the fsx.CFG file Cheer's...Graham...

Thanks guys - it's definitely an issue with the V3 upgrade. Somethings amiss, just waiting for more information from Horizon, which unfortunately is more than a little lacking at present. Can you roll back to bog standard V2? at least you should be able to fly out from Newcastle Atlantis then Or you could drop flying from the North for the minute, and have a look at Wales just to see how your new scenery looks in that part of the country (it's very pretty around Welshpool) Cheer's...Graham...

Intresting that the scenery and plane are out of focus badly!, but the 3D objects look sharp? . What does it look like when your at 2000 feet?. Here are my settings for FSX, look at my scren shots in the other thread, I think these settings are working ok for me. Cheer's...Graham...

Hey Sabre I don't think there is anything wrong with your system, it's nearly the exact same as mine and the Q9550 will give even the newer i5 prossesors a run for thier money, and we have a L2 cache that is 12mb as well . The only difference between our systems is the graphics card, I have a GTX260 with the latest drivers, have you got the latest ATI drivers?. Also I do not have my FSX settings as high as yours! you could try to re-set them lower and then increase them a bit at a time untill you reach the limit for your system. I'll post some screen shots of my settings for you later when

Not sure what to say about that, better ask the guys in the scenery section as they will know "whats up with Newcastle" for sure :001_th_smiles89: I Just remember all the confusion we had with Charlie on TS with two "GRAHAM'S" logged on Cheer's...PanzerFodder...(Graham) still think that mine is the correct spelling though

Hi Joe, thanks for the welcome and very usefull advice, not sure what way I will go yet as the bloody postal workers have just gone on strike in Canada, so nothing is moving mail wise . Maybe best to hold off for a day or so to see if they go back to work. Now I had better get the hell out of here, because this a Sabre's thread (sorry mate :blush: ) Cheer's...PanzerFodder...

Hi and thanks for the comment! "yechyd da" to you sir :001_th_smiles89: Here's one for you now my little Do-27 on safari in the wild Welsh mountains (Snowdonia National Park) And this is my Ants Tiger Moth in the same area (useing justflights real vfr scenery) This photo scenery is so good, sometimes I think that I'm really there! "LOL" BTW:@Joe sure do remember the hayfever, I now get the Canadian version of it over here as well . Cheer's...PanzerFodder...

I’m new to Muttleys Hanger, so thought I would post a few shots of what I like to do in FSX, to break the ice so to speak. In the shot below, I'm following the M5 North and am just north of the Severn Bridge, Aircraft is a Dornier Do-27, the yellow fields to my left look like Rapeseed growing, that brought back a few happy memories from when I lived down in the west country . Cheer's...PanzerFodder...

Yep me too, I have been reading through the posts on this site and seen a whole lot of new stuff Did you get the download or boxed version of REX, as it's on my shopping list, but an not sure if it will be a major headache downloading files of that size? (think that the free add-on for REX "Overdrive" is about 9 gigs in size ) BTW: @hurricane, Thanks for the welcome, it's nice to meet you Cheer's...PanzerFodder...

Hey Sabre, it looks good buddy . How are you getting on with REX, and your photo scenery? are they working well together? are you useing DX9 or DX10? Cheer's...PanzerFodder...
