  1. Hello Bob (I hope you still are a member here) Firstly thanks heaps for the PAD web site which now has been closed. I did download quite a few aircraft. I have a question regarding use of any of the flyable models. Who do I request permission from to use any of the (FSX) flyable aircraft to create static scenery objects for use in scenery which I may release as freeware? Thanks John
  2. The date on that driver download is 2010-03-30 which is hardly new (11 years ago)
  3. I have found the problem. I was using my favorite amphibian the Cessna Skyhawk (I think it is a freeware one) and when I checked out the Textron 172 and the Icon A5 they both show wakes. I am positive the Skyhawk showed a wake before SU7. I must contact the chap who created it and tell him. Thanks
  4. After loosing 'history' (of airports previously selected) when planning a flight, then 'gaining' wake effects for floatplanes mid year the latest update (SU7) regains the previously lost 'history' but lost wake effects. Honestly will they ever release an update without stuffing something up? Maybe a stricter testing phase might be appreciated.
  5. I turned off many things BUT I think the ones which fixed the rudder problem and throttle problem were corrected by turning off one of more of the following PILOTING Auto Rudder Assisted Checklist Assisted Landing Assisted Takeoff AI Anti Stall I also turned off NOTIFICATIONS Flying tips Objectives Software tips I hope this helps
  6. Please advise what to do (workabout) about the rudder returning to the neutral position even with the joystick is held on full rudder. Also how to stop the throttle going full on even though it is set to idle on the Joystick. All this started with SU7 - why? This only happens when flying a 'free flight' I don't have the problems flying a training mission or adventure. [added later] After searching the internet I found that SU7 reset all settings and so I went 'looking' and changed many from ON to OFF. That seems to have fixed the problem. Still it is annoying that SU7 could have either advised/warned users during the update that all user settings would be reset and to check them after the update OR better still NOT to change them although maybe this was not possible with the changes being implemented.
  7. I too am experiencing problems and at present flying a 'free flight' is impossible as the rudder keeps returning to the neutral position even with rudder held on full 'deflection' using the joystick. Also the throttle control on my joystick stops controlling the engine and with it in the idle position the engine can suddenly go to full throttle. I have tried another joystick and the same happens. YET when I fly a training mission or adventure it all works perfectly. I am really annoyed that SU7 has screwed me up.

  8. Not sure if this also doesn't happen and that is the effect of the blast from jet engines blowing water off the tarmac. I have never checked but wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't happen. X-Plane has had it for years together with wakes etc etc. I understand that some 3rd party aircraft creators are holding back development and release until they get some sort of confirmation from Asobo as to when this might happen. MSFS has a long way to go before 'catching up' with X-Plane regarding effects and I wished I had some i information a when we might expect to have it. If unknown or not for say a year or more I might go back to using X-Plane. Lots more addon aircraft too.
  9. Yes I have it but not a floatplane and I long for a Beaver.
  10. Real AI would be good but I really would like EFFECTS to be implemented/increased for effects such as 'wakes' from float planes, ships etc. Also a decent floatplane (Beaver/Otter) although I understand that one is being developed as freeware and one as payware as I type.
  11. Thanks David for that link. I was not aware of this and had been using ModMan to place addons to the community folder.
  12. Keep then coming herc79. I would be happy for someone to find some freeware scenery objects of small boats for the water scenery airports I am developing for Green Lake/Whistler and Sechelt. Even MSFS only has a couple of larger boats.
  13. You would be too young to remember the DH Dragon Rapide. As a very young boy, in the 1950's my parents often drove past an aerodrome (what they used to be called) and there was a Dragon Rapide (didn't know what they were at the time) sitting next to the road at the aerodrome for joy flights and I longed to go but never did. Nearby was a De Havilland factory http://vhjet.com/blog/tag/de-havilland-aircraft-bankstown/
  14. There is a lot of time left this year. I hope it is sooner than later. Are you on the 'test team'? If so lucky you.
  15. I have just discovered it's not just sunken ships it is also sunken docks. I am currently creating a new airport which is a water airport for float planes. In the real world there are long docks where the float planes tie up and you can see those docks in MSFS BUT they are underwater. If you take off from CAP3 and head around 330 you will fly over a town named Sechelt and you can see what I mean.
