Meridian--Colorado Springs to Aspen

**pawarren** · 02-17-2003, 12:02 AM

This is a great example of what happens when the crosswind component is exceeded in a small airplane. There was a 30kt crosswind 80 degrees off of the acitve. I crabbed all the way in and then put the wing into the wind and gave the rudder a good kick about 10 feet off the runway, and well, #5 shows the result--probably some virtual bald spots on the virtual tires.

Hi!
Very nice shots!!
I bought this plane on saturday, and love it!!
I see that you are using the 32-bit textures, and it looks very good!!
What are your framerates, and what specs does your computer have?? I have put the display settings down a bit, but only get about 10 fps ,not using the 32-bit textures, in places were I get at least 20 fps with the F1 Cessna 421.....x(
So I would apreciate some thoughts around this
My specs are:
P4 1,6 ghz
512 Sdram
gForce 3 ti200 64mb

I'm running a 2.4ghz processor w/a GeForce4 and 1gbSDRAM. It lets me run all of the sliders at max with no problems except for when I use add-on scenery like World Airports. That slows my rate down to ~10-15fps.
Enjoy the Meridian. How about those avionics and GPS--by far the best I've ever seen. I hope to own a real one someday.

Now I understand why your pictures looked so great!!
The computer specs are very nice!!
I think I'll have to convince my father that I have to install FS
on his new computer, which he got from his job, it has 2.53 ghz ,512ddr and a gforce 4 ti4400 :D

Thanks for the answer, and will be looking forward to flying the meridian a lot more!!
