tup61 185 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Maybe I am imagining things, but it seems my cockpit is getting some more scratches over time... Someone else noticing that too? If that's true: I like it!A few days ago I noticed a big scratch on the left and today I noticed a few little scratches that I am sure weren't there before!

Most of these are probably bug splats and not scratches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bliksimpie 14 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Most of these are probably bug splats and not scratches. Scratches has been added to the model.. Why would there be an item in the data.cfg file that read : [DIRT] DIRT_INSECTS=5.000000 DIRT_CABIN=0.823000 DIRT_GARBAGE=0.000000 DIRT_SCRATCHES=0.000000 etc... testing numerous times and resetting to original status have my plane still new so no movement yet on this item, but you can see the insects splashes has accrued to 5 and the dirt in the cabin is coming along nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CODY614 0 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I'm guessing a "NO SMOKING" placard should be added to the cockpit....It may help slow down the cockpit "Dirt!" Cody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Attwood 33 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I've made a point of not washing my plane just to see how dirty it does get. After 12 hours flying....not very. A few splattered flies, a small streak of oil on the windscreen and that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I did try to set off with the oil cover up. Clever, I must fly more in dirtier weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few splattered flies, a small streak of oil on the windscreen and that's about it. I wouldn't get away with that in the real world! My Katana is parked outside, in a part of the airport that must double as a bird sanctuary Cleaning is a regular part of my preflight. I'd move into a hanger, but, in San Diego, they go for $400/month! I wouldn't be surprised if the Katana4X's dirt simulates increased drag. Katana wings are free of rivets and suffer from less parasitic drag than aluminum wings. It's important to keep them clean for max speed and efficiency.

Maybe a silly question, but I have been looking all over my computer and cannot find the data.cfg. Where is it located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not at my computor, but from my head.. almost the same place the fsx.cfg are. In Windows 7 it is here: C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\4X_DATA\Diamond DA20-100 'Katana'\data.cfg replace xxxx with your username the alternative is to use the search function in windows. Start / search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigsaw 20 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Maybe a silly question, but I have been looking all over my computer and cannot find the data.cfg. For cases like that I like to recommend the "Everything" search tool. It can only look for filenames and not for text within a file, but it does so instantly. The very second you enter your search query you already get the result. It doesn't use a time and ressource intensive indexing method but rather looks up the file location in the hard disk's master file table. http://www.voidtools.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
