whoops I meant which version of xplane? try updating that. if it's any consolation, my installation blanks out every now and again, maybe once every third load

oh wow Kev, great to see it worked for u, and nice to see some helo shots. it's a busy firebase, so no room for pommie sightseers! haha, I'll see if u can build u a spare spot (with a personalized sign maybe.."kevs krash site'?)
hehe. I got the efis on weekend, bloody complex!
Ta Mark. I'm stumped, 4 by 299?!
great kev, I hope it works! it's hard to Test such scenery when you've got it already. Don't follow all the signs
as soon as I saw it getting below 22 fps I stopped adding more complex buildings, but plenty of margin for more signs :-)
Well, after doing this, I went back and examined the scenery file of LESA by Javier Rollon, in my opinion the best scenery maker out there, full stop.
With my experience, I can see alot of his techniques, a very smart pro!

I'm finally pretty happy with the look of my KMPI scenery, go there and see the default scenery before you try this!

Must see movie - How to train your dragon
A very accurate review of this movie here:

- You really did a good job mate, i gotta get me an i7 cpu, i can fly the Paris scenery ok but don't have enough fps to video, just like that new Corvalis !
I sent a detailed report to X-Aviation and they got back to me straight away to say they are working on the problem :-)

Morgan Penney said… - Hi Simon, to answer your question about the runway textures for FS9 (FS2004) that I used in my video, I cannot promise 100% (since it was quite a long time ago); however, this looks like a valid link to the add-on texture I use: http://www.fsfield.com/viewfile/1261.html
I hope this helps. Sincerely, Morgan

- Hi Simon, hope you enjoyed your holiday mate, the BK117 handles just great but the trim can take a bit of getting used to especially when trimming back for landing ! As payware goes it is worth the price tag.
Cheers........... Kev.
