Hi,

In one of the newest Farmstrips of Neil Birch I found a file Aircreation. It indeed makes those ultra-lights visible on the airfield. Splendid!

Now I would like to know if they are only "statics" or are they also flyable? At least they do not show up in my aircraftselectionwindow. Is that O.K. or wrong?

Kapitan,

Thanks, it works.

Piet

Hello Kapitan,

Please can you be more specific in your solution? Or point to the message that tells step by step what to do. My attemps did not work.

Thanks in advance,

Piet

Hi, go into settings...general... camera...

& scroll down to the bottom where you should see “instrument heads up display” on/off

Steve

Steve,

This works indeed, although I would have preferred it as a toggle-solution for short periods.

Thanks.

Hi,

Who know how to toggle the visibility of the gauges that are presented in the External Window-view? Having them temporarily unvisible is good for pictures or movies. Or just flying in valleys or along rivers.

External PLN-files can be imported into MSFS. Go to the LOAD/SAVE-function, activate it and you'll see the location where FLT's and PLN's are stored.

Then move that imported plan into that location.

Then you can use it via the LOAD-function

Hi,

What a terrible mess is the camera-function, unbelievable complex, hard to understand.

Why did the developers go away from the simple, but effective FSX/P3D way of inside- and outside-views, to be steered by the HAT-switch. Every position was selectable.

Can we as community ask for a return of this way of camera-work?

Why only jet-airliners? There are a lot of other categories with very interesting aircraft and a lot of users. Thinking of iconic prop-liners (DC-3), WW2 fighters (Spitfire, P-51)and -bombers (Lancaster, B-17, B-25), cargo-aircraft C-130), vintage aircraft (Tiger Moth, Stearman Kaydett) etc etc.

Hi,

The offering of aircraft in the DeLuxe and Premium is in principle more of the same, almost all aircraft are light GA's, all more of the same. Why???????.

I would have expected a different offering, more iconic vintage aircraft, warbirds, rotorcraft. The only reason why I added Deluxe is for the availability of EHAM

Hi,

I just saw the presentation of the aircraftselectionmenu. It is very unnatural that the sequence is based on providers. Why should I have to know the name of the provider to select/find an Airbus? Searching for or sequence of the manufacturer is the natural way of searching/scrolling.

Hello Kaplan,

As you say the emulation of P3D/FSX aircraft in FS202 will probably be poor. On the other hand, the offer of aircraft in FS2020 is very limited and is in majority only light GA's.

So I am thinking of keeping two sims, one for the scenery, e.g. flying along coastlines and in mountains, valleys etc and one for still experiencing the goodies and specialisms of our beloved aircraft as WW2 bombers (Lancasters, B-17's, B-25's etc), transporters (C-47's ), fighters (Spitfires, P-51's, ME109's) and piston engined airliners (L049, DC6 etc), the investment beeing done.

Hi Loki,

But how are they adressed??????, do they have to be moved into some kind of aircraft-folder or can they be adressed by some king of add-on.xml as is the case in Prepar3D ?

Many people, included myself have invested in add-on aircraft. As the number and type of new FS2020 aircraft is mainly small GA-aircraft, I am very much interested if our "old" aircraft will fly (may less nice then the default ones) and then the question is also how to address those aircraft (will there be some kind of simobjects.cfg?)

With kind regards,

Piet de Geus

Hello,

In all demo's up til now I saw more or less the same aircraft.

What can be said about compatibility of our FSX/Prepar3D add-on aircraft of suppliers as A2A, Aeroplane Heaven, Just Flight etc etc and of all the freeware producer?

It would be a pity when these investments would be lost when going to FS2020 or prevent transfering to it.

Hi,

Yes I have FreeMeshX as well, but investigating actually its usefullness in well detailed photosceneries. In default scenery it adds value.

Piet

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into it.

Piet

You always have Mesh , it comes with the Flight Simulator .

It creates the valleys and mountain terrain elevation features , the scenery is draped over the mesh.

If you add an aftermarket mesh it usually (1) improves the accuracy of the terrain elevations

(2) improves the resolution sharpness or detail so that smaller terrain features are modelled.

 

As far as I know Photo real has a much greater impact on performance / frame rates than

mesh ever will have.

If you are after performance improvement it would be better to get rid of or de activate the

Photo real scenery .

 

Cheers

Karol

Karol,

No, I am not after performance, but the outside view of the scenery is important to me. I just was wondering what the influence of the quality of the picture would be when removing the influence of a add-on mesh on the actual look of the Photoreal scenery.

I tried it in one occasion and could not see a significant difference. I have Prepar3D V5

Do not confuse Meash with Photoreal. One does not imply the other. Not in ANY of the sims...

I am not confusing things. Mesd defines altitudes, Photoreal shows sceneries. My question is Do I need Mesh in a photoreal scenery?

Piet

Hi,

Is there any added value for a Mesh-package in an area/country/state when there is a Photo-real addon active for that area?

In default areas it indeed gives better edges in mountains etc, but I am inclined to believe that de-activation of the mesh for a photoreal area is positive for performance. Or is the priority-sequence of influence?

Please help me out, in my opinion there is no difference for this question between FSX and Prepar3D V 1 - 5.

with kind regards,
