X-Plane Photo Scenery

Hi Peter, if u have his latest 5.55 (I think!), just edit the .ini file, by carefully removing the # from each line for the g service (service o possibly), then make sure the other service lines have…

X-Plane Photo Scenery

Hi, I've replied to a few people re. this. challenge. The only way to get good performance is to use the enhanced version from the Robert on the .org site. Even then you have to do an awkward workaro…

Limits on uploads etc

Great idea Mark, you are very generous though! I reckon one vid a day is ample, and screenies could be halved. If u need to refer to an external file, using a hotlink without an image should suffice,…

X-Plane 9 - I give up

Thanks for chipping into this discussion guys, but I can tell that all the suggestions won't necessarily sway- as theywant the basic sim to be more polished out of the box. At the other end of the s…

A reasonable first attempt! The free fraps works for 30 secs and doesn't have that nasty big text in the middle. If u like fast music and fast helos, check this one out, enjoy! http://www.flightsimulatornetwork.com/video/shanghai-scenery-for-xplane

Ha cw7, I just saw your post on the org! I've seen that hungry site, there's some nice stuff in it but I can't work out where to download, my hungarian is a little rusty. Good that they posted a link to scenery in the Borg what's it's night textures…

Simon W commented on Jessica Bannister-Pearce's blog post 'The Pursuit of the elusive FPS.'

Ha, it's not just Mark's trump card! But even with the slick xplane, poorly setup scenery can slow things down to 20fps (we like and get >40fps). My core i7 runs it very sweetly (highly recommended, 2.66gz easily oc to 3.5) sometimes running other p…

Just got a Hummer for xplane from this site, the detail is pretty good for 8 bucks. Handling is awful, but it adds to the atmosphere of my next vid. Boot opens and the driver is amazingly detailed! Hmmm, the tank looks tempting! http://www.x-objectw…

Simon W commented on Kevin Mee's video 'The P.A.F Display in X-Plane 9 by XPFR'

No, thanks for showing us kev! Wow, this would be a great feature for all aircraft in xplane. Formation flying is ok, but it can be a pain to setup. Imagine 4 747s doing a flyby!

Simon W commented on Kevin Mee's video 'The P.A.F Display in X-Plane 9 by XPFR'

Looks promising Kevin! So, do they keep close to you, or do you have to follow their moves incredibly precisely? looks better than Xwing. Will give it a go soon, but I am quagmired in another 'monster' video. I couldn't fix a motorbike, unless it wa…

Ha! No I'm on windoze vista 64. Yes, I don't like editing code either

Simon W commented on Mark Avey's group 'X-Plane'

ThNks chip, I'll wait for the conventional release of 1.2. I've had to revert back to 9.45, 9.5 was too buggy/beta for my liking! It was so easy to go back thank god. Could not use QuickTime vid recorder in 9.5, that's disastrous for me! Funny, I fi…

Hi chip, as I'm only generally on during the weekends, can't confirm and (fortunately? ) haven't upgraded. Is flight model better? U could try mapping the hsi course selector to a joystick wheel.

That was impressive. Great editing, exciting visually. Just great.

Nice Bird Teddy, and good taxiing shots, so smoooth

Omg. Do they move fluidly? Not like that xwing plugin!

on Tuesday

Simon W commented on Mark Avey's group 'X-Plane'

Wow kev, I saw the announcement, that looks great! It doesn't use plugins either?! I only get on the pc on weekends, so urgent vid please! When u can stop flying with your French buddies..

Simon W commented on Simon W's video 'Falco X-Rated, For X-Plane'

You're right kev, from my one session doing a little hop to get acquainted with nav setup, she's very forgiving. But, to quote from the horses mouth : Simon...I think you'll really like the next update handling wise. Morten and I put some time into…

At 2:12am on February 11, 2010, 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

At 6:52pm on January 18, 2010, Kevin Mee said…: 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.

At 10:20pm on January 15, 2010, Kevin Mee said…: Hi Simon, i was wondering where you had got to, on holiday you lucky boy ! and here's us here back in the UK freezing our tits off in snow 'n' ice :-(

RE the clouds in the weather settings page you can choose type of clouds, spread, and hight 'n' its dead easy to do, have a play around 'n' see how you get on, if you have any probs give me a shout !
Cheers.............Kev.

At 8:16pm on January 10, 2010, Kevin Mee said…: Hi Simon, glad you have a top stick now mate, i just goofed big time over the holidays, i brought a Saitek cyborg evo force pro stick, only to find out X-Plane has no force feedback !
As for flying the choppers mate, you should get the free download one's from .org
i find the Eurocopter E135, Hughes 500D & the EC-120B are all much easyer to get along with than the R22/ R24.............Cheers............Kev.

At 10:05pm on January 5, 2010, Kevin Mee said…: Thanks Simon, your vid was very good mate, hope to have a Starfighter vid on soon, i'm also dying to get my hands on that CRJ !

At 8:30pm on January 5, 2010, Kevin Mee said…: Hi Simon, any idea on the release date for the CRJ ? Been on his web site but not checked the forums.................Cheers........Kev.
