Hi All,
Just a suggestion, Would it be possible to get the bridge removed from Artwick Avenue just before the slipway for the next update?
I usually park my Catalina on the south plots (i know, the ground rent is in the post), i have just had to get a fold down VSTAB for it a it hits the bridge as it normally is
Thanks
Zakk
PS: Sim Market really need to switch construction companies

Just a little note to say...
Whoever made the water runway have lighted buoys....
THANK YOU
Its now 10x easier to find the runway

You'll need to do a forum search, as that is a problem that results from an incorrect install. Off the top of my head the dll.xml file needs to be edited by the installer, and it was unable, due to a lack of adequate permissions...
Andrew
Thanks, got it sorted now with your suggestion

Hi All,
Ive got the Airbus X, I have a small (well, big) problem.
On the scratch pad there is always a '.0' stuck there, it just wont delete, ive tried everything,
Any suggestions
Im on the latest update

We can't run electrical wiring through the lake and risk electrocuting swimmers
Go Green - Solar Panels on the buoys to power a single strobe on each one?
-
Would it be possible to get runway marker buoys that are strobed?, this would make them a lot more visable, also could we get a few more for the runway to define it a little more?
I like the idea of the pilot controled airport lighting, maybe use a NAV2 frequency like there is in the mega airport heathrow to open the hangar doors?

The Glider is OK and nice concept but a little flawed in realism.
Must agree with the comments on the instrument panel - it is generally illegible. Disappointing
As an experienced real pilot and glider pilot my main worry is the awful glider handling!
The pitch rate is far to fast, as is the roll rate. A 15/18m glider has a large inertia in its wing so inherently has a damped slew/roll rate. Can not this be accurately simulated? Similarly for the pitch.
The Aerosoft Discus glider also exhibits pitch instability! its attitude bucks around and needs constant correction. Coordination of amount of control movement to aerodynamic effect also appears unrealistic? Any real glider that fly’s like this would be quickly grounded.
The overall flight characteristics make the aircraft most uncomfortable and unenjoyable to fly. I usually find myself choosing the old DG808 even the ASK21 to enjoy some comfortable fun CumulusX and Simprobe cross country soaring.
OK, I might be missing something in the setup?
If so what....?
I have tried a large range of variations of settings to little effect.
Any hope of a trim lever in the cockpit?

Hi,
As a real world glider pilot, and also more to the point, Discus pilot, i can honestly say hand on heart Joachim's Discus is a pretty much perfect simulation of the RW Discus, the D'X is by FAR the most realistic simulation on the current market.
All i can suggest is get yourself some RW discus experience and you'll see how accurate this simulation is!
With regards to panel quality, you must have an issue with your settings (global texture resolution maybe?) because it is crystal clear on my system
Regards,

I like the new website design, i think it is very "Clean" & "Smart", However,
Some of the newer products are a little difficult to find,
I find it is pretty s l o w t o l o a d
Its a little long winded to get into the forums too
Otherwise, congrats

THIS, exactly THIS, is why YOU developers are not able to link proper communication with project.... a few lines stating "even though the aircraft is painted in AIR BERLIN colors", the textures are far from being finished".
Sorry but if the aircrfat was shown in white like the usual first sho of a project, I wouldn't have reacted that way...
May i say, SO WHAT if it is Air Berlin colours, the screenshot is to show the progress of the project,
plain white or pretty pink with rainbows & stars is irrelevant,
what is relevant is the project is moving forward
I remember when captain sim were developing the 727 for FSX, they released the exterior and interior seperatley at dofferent time, it is now sold as a comlete AC (in & out)

Frame rates are 20. It can run faster but stutters.
Heres a post of mine from another forum...
Hi All,Just bought me a copy of tune up utilities 2010, Great little program to get shot of all the rubish on your pc and keep it optimised, in the 2010 version there is a "Turbo" button, this button when activated kills anything that slows the PC down,
i have just done some tests on FSX with the wilco A319, LGW Extreme scenery from gatwick to jersey
1. EGKK-EGJJ - Turbo OFF, Frames as usual, a little stuttery around EGKK with the scenery
2. EGJJ-EGKK - Turbo ON - considerable increase in frames and the fluidity of FSX, runs alot smoother and less jumpy or jerky
Conlusion, Tune up 2010 has made my fsx run a lot better - might be a good investment at only £30 for a new copy or £18 for an upgrade from a previous version
Happy Landings
Zakk
The above also has a considerable positive effect on the Discus models

If its any help to anyone i have moved to Windows 7 64bit and the glider works sweet as a nut, no issues whatsoever

My two pence...,
Scura,
If you don't like/ cant get on with the software simply uninstall it.
All programs have bugs & glitches,
it is just trial and error and diagnosing them to get them fixed.
Nothing's perfect,

D:Program Files (x86)Microsoft GamesMicrosoft Flight Simulator X
Vista Ultimate X64 SP2
As far as i know, Yes
UAC Off straight after install
-
Until a few years ago - NO,
The CAA have chanced the rules and now, because they are Flying Machines just like the 747's and that hot air balloon you see on a nice day they have to be registered and display the registration on the side
-
Good Stuff, Enjoy
-
Yes there is a Yaw String, It works just like the real one, very useful.

Hi Joachim,
Link from the G-INFO database buy the CAA
All the British Registered Discus'
Some have images,
Hope it helps,

The Finished Article (thanks Joachim for the extra help)
Note: if anyone would like this repaint please PM me with your email address and ill send it

Hi,
Could anyone tell me which of the texture files i need to open to be able to alter the registration of the Discus'?
Thanks in Advance,

Yeah, i have simprobe & cummulusX, is there any way of getting hold of some slope data for Dillingham?
-
Glad you like it, Have you tried in a 20knott or above wind speed Expect a bumpy ride
well, went up on a 1200" Winch, flew off to the fountains near Dillingham,
went up and down the ride 4 times (climbed about 2300"),
Poped the motor out and went out to sea a little then did some aerobatics consisting of 3 loops, 2 chandelles, a bit of inverted flight and an aeliron roll,
got it down to best glide and went back & landed @ Dillingham
ill have a play with the weather & winds in a minute

winter
in Andras Field - General
Posted
With winter approaching could we get a utility or some new files that allows us to change the season of AF to winter/spring/autumn/summer ?
Looks kind of misplaced when the surrounding area is blanketed white and Andras is bright green
Kind regards,
Zakk
