MDIvey 0 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 There are a lot of exiting projects for FSX coming up but this is the one I'm most eager to get my hands on... beautiful work Joachim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaWhiskeyFoxtrot 0 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 About the Pilot in the VC... I'd say take him out, to me it makes the cockpit look not only cluttered but also "Arcade-ish." In addition, the Pilot in VC makes it feel like its not you flying the A/C but rather someone else, In other words Pilot in the VC decreases the Immersion factor of the product.

JulianEDFM 0 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I would let him where he is, for screenshots it's always better to have an pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Schweigler 203 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I think the best thing is, that you can choose, if you want to be Karl Otto, or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_DVFC 0 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I'm one that likes a pilot there. In real life I'd see my own legs and hands on teh controls so in the sim I would expect to see something there as well. Looks like the solution has been worked out already though. Some gliders for FS2004 had the option to have or not have a pilot. You used the Lights on / off button to do this as lights are redundant on a glider. Still cant wait for this to be released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Schweigler 203 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Today I want to tell you a small story Yesterday was such a fine day, so I decided to do a cross country flight. So I went to the airfield an took my DiscusBT. The takeoff was at 10:30 But I found no thermals first, even though the clouds where looking good. So I decided to use the engine to search a fine lift And soon I found, what I wanted :-) So I started my cross country flight. After 584 km it was very late and the thermals pretty weak. And I had at least 56 km to do Finaly there where no thermals any more. So I had to use my engine again. Finaly I reached my field :-) downwind... Final approach And I am back on earth :-) I hope You like this story as I like to fly this glider. note. Only the first shot is modified to do the winch rope. All others are pure FSX. Best regards Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfalcon 1 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Dachte mir schon es kommt ein Windenstart Tool mitgeliefert note. Only the first shot is modified to do the winch rope. All others are pure FSX. Sehr schöne Bilder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDIvey 0 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Looks superb Joachim... do you have much more work to do to complete this pack or will we soon be able to savour the delights of the Discus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Schweigler 203 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 there are still some things to do. And there are some problems to solve. Once again, we have to do things, wich are not possible in FSX. So we have to make them possible ;-) Please be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverickNL 0 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 like the winch start?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManuelL 71 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 looks very nice! I like the winch take-off as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulianEDFM 0 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Very nice things. It would be very great if you could model the winch launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick - Seria17hri11er 0 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Yea I was like, "Whoa, where's this winch launch at!? I'm missing out!" Looks superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManuelL 71 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Finaly there where no thermals any more. So I had to use my engine again. Well, I guess thats because of the dirt behind the main weel. Might have cost you a few promille of glide. :wink: This may be the only un-realistic feature of your texture, given what cleaning maniacs glider pilots usually are.

JulianEDFM 0 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 But the dirt on this position is very realistic, i think. You can't clean your aircraft on this position after every flight, we do this only in Winter, and that looks like here: So, my opinion, let the dirt. Edit: But only there- the rest should be 1a clean, I won't see any dirt on the wings. Hehe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Schweigler 203 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hmm... winchlaunch is a subejct for itselfes in FSX... It is simply not possible till now.. We are working on that. But we dont know the end of the story... The dirt? Not from the engine... Enginedirt is on top of the fuselage and at the vertical stab. It is hard to remove... The dirt behint the wheel is from the wheel. Imagine, wet grass, a bis dirt, and a aerotow... There IS dirt on this place We are cleaning this place after each day, too. Gliders are cleaning maniacs. You can't get a good performance with a dirty plane. But the region behind the wheel? Well, I think it is rather unimportant... I dont think that anyone would feel a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulianEDFM 0 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I'm speaking from the area behind the wheel, Joachim. Nobody worries about that dirt, as i said, we clean the aircraft behind the wheel only in the Winter break (for that you have to turn around the aircraft und of course you can't turn around your plane after every flight ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverickNL 0 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 we simply put tape behind the wheel and when it becomes to dirty we peel it of and stick some new on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Schweigler 203 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I have spoken from that area, too.... And if I lie on the ground, I can easily clean it. I dont have to turn it around. The tape idea is very funny... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
