Prostock Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I dl'd a mission Here https://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=C130upload&x=0&y=0 It says the following in the Readme instructions: Issues: The Aces team that programmed FSX did not activate the Concorde visor keys so the loading ramp will not work, this aircraft is a FS2004 model light bloom must be turned off before flying. My Question: How do I Turn Off Light Bloom? The Mission starts with the C-130 at 5000 feet. The aircraft immediately takes a Nose Dive. Is the Light Bloom the cause of this & how do I fix it. I have emailed the Author and am waiting a response. Also, the aircraft does not have Panel & no Instructions for that. Recommend a good panel? Thank you for any help.

jandjfrench Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 In the link you provided the "required file" specifies a C130. The description of the C130, adapted to FSX, references a VC as well as a 2D panel. My drive with FSX failed and I haven't bothered to re-install but recall a setting for light bloom.

mrzippy Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Lens Flare and Light Bloom are in the same place as DX10 Preview. FSX/Settings/Customize/Graphics, I think. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostock Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 Lens Flare and Light Bloom are in the same place as DX10 Preview. FSX/Settings/Customize/Graphics, I think. The author sent me an email with instructions & yes MR ZIPPY, that's where the settings are. I don't understand how those settings would have any effect on how the aircraft fly's or not. I followed his directions and re-read them a few times so I would understand them fully and applied them. Tried to fly the C-130 and with same results. Nose Dive to the ground, no control at all. I will reply to his email for further assistance. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks OK, I just flew it and it is in a nosedive but recoverable. You are 6 miles from touchdown at the airport. Drop flaps immediately, your wheels are down, keep speed about 110knots. This aircraft is fully loaded with cargo and fuel so it's a tough monkey to control. Good luck! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

mrzippy Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I got it to work, not a successful first time out but next time will be. Thanks That's the spirit! Be forewarned that as you approach the destination airport in San Juan, it is dark and pretty foggy till you get nearer to touchdown. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

Prostock Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 That's the spirit! Be forewarned that as you approach the destination airport in San Juan, it is dark and pretty foggy till you get nearer to touchdown. I did make it to San Juan using my auto pilot & GPS. I had all my lights blaring & I'm sure the saw me coming, I heard a sigh when the problem happened because I decided to bank hard left & go around, maybe the cargo shifted & it caused the mission to fail. I'll give it another go maybe tomorrow. It is a fun mission. Just wish the plane wasn't so frisky at the start. I'll post my screen shot of Success as soon as it's accomplished. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had some time tonight to fly this mission successfully this outing. Thanks for the kind words and as always your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
