Project Airbus – Talk

Looks good, and works well.

I've always thought that the wing view was a little too high, but I was too lazy to fix it.

Thanks!

Many of you might not know that I live literally on top of the outer marker for KMDW. Because I've lived there my whole life, I have grown accustomed to the familiar sounds of 737's, 717's, DC-9's CRJ-200's, and other planes passing 2,500 feet above our house. To put the storm in perspective, the wi...

Make sure that you copied the correct textures to the A380. All it takes is for one to be missing.

Re-install the airplane and follow the published merging instructions step by step. That should take care of your problem on your first try.

Good luck!

iheart707

I forgot to say that I increased also the pitch-stability. There were light pitch oscillations during cruise. In the aircraft.cfg : [flight_tuning] elevator_effectiveness=1.0 //pitch_stability=1.2 pitch_stability=2.5 .. Guy These figures should have been fine to begin with. :? Could it be your joys...

I have a gaming pc so I don't have issues just bad fps every now and then but not enough to make me not like FSX. I was more speaking from a average computer pov. But what you say is true, but I still hope flight has slightly better fps. No hard feelings dude. :) I would have to think that everyone...

iheart707

So does that mean that It's gonna have crap fps....AGAIN! :roll: If you have a low powered machine, then yes. However, it is also important to realize that FSX WAS designed to push the limits of computer power. Even the developers for the game said that it would be months after the game was release...

iheart707

They might, you never really know.

Pssst... Don't distract them! Remember that they are already working on two planes as we speak (A321, and the A380). Let them finish at least those projects first before they take on any more responsibilities!

iheart707

I don't know if you need these, but Boeing does provide very detailed drawings and information on their airplanes. 3-D CAD views for all their airplanes can be found here.... http://www.boeing.com/commercial/airports/3_view.html Some more scaled drawings can be found here... http://www.boeing.com/co...

You know the F-27 is a TurboProp... :o Cannot beleive I said that... I'd love to get a new keyboard someday... The differences are huge in almost everything. However, a VC is also planned but for a later release. It is a group of free time volunteers making it, like the team at PA, so no deadlines ...

iheart707

One of the best sounding jets, right next to the old JT3D's. I'm glad to hear that someone is FINALLY working on the F27's. Such a good and well behaved little jet! It's like a DC-9, but sharper, newer, and more efficient! Just out of curiosity, is this plane a new model in its entirety or simply pa...

iheart707

Although this published story is old, (2008) it still highlights the importance of enjoying the older jets that are still in service. People today sometimes think, "Why would I ever fly on that old hunk of junk?" when years later, they will come back and will say, "Those were the days...

iheart707

Well, it was worth a shot anyways.

Happy flying, and clear skies!

iheart707

Any luck?

iheart707

If I had to guess, I’d have to say that you might be having some problems with it due to the load manager built into the Flight 1 model. Although I am completely unaware on how the load manager actually interfaces with the airplane, I can only investigate into this a little! I would assume that the ...

iheart707

Hiroshi had long been planning on taking a break. In keeping with his policy to only release a model once the real aircraft has been delivered... And that's what ANY aircraft modeler should do. To tell you the honest truth, I don't even care about any work being done on any FSX/FS2004 model of the ...

iheart707

Good.

Ever since I’ve known them in 2003, they have not changed their stubborn ways. From not allowing constructive criticism, or suggestions to make the airplanes more realistic, they have been and will always be a closed minded group of “talented

” individuals.

iheart707

What an elegant and accurate description of Gamespy, Custard! :lol:

So true... So true...

At least we have a way for registered users of our site to connect! Going through a Direct IP rather than the garbage programming of Gamespy is the only way to fly ANY FSX Multiplayer Server!

iheart707

By the emails that I am receiving from other pilots, it seems as if NO ONE can log into Gamespy. It is not the issue of being disconnected time after time, but not being able to log in at all! I would like to hear from other FSX users here and see if they are having the same issue. :o Could this be ...

iheart707

Nice sceneries and details. Too bad I burned out my graphics card... (A few dollars short of a new one though!)

Also did anyone else notice how you could actually hear the engines? Wow, no screaming babies.... I'm shocked...

Let me fix that...
"Waaaaa!"

Well I do have to admit, the Space Shuttle is quite nice. Although you will never see me in FSX or X-plane in a Space Shuttle, you will see me in one in Orbiter 2010. Besides, all the airplanes in the list can be found as payware or freeware for FS2004 and FSX, so whats the benifit of switching? I'm...

iheart707

It annoys me to no end that no one has made one of any quality yet. For now, I'm trying all of the 777/A340 sets I can get my hads on, or from time to time the 747-400 sets. Many the soundsets were made for FS2004, but they still work just fine on FSX. I usually download mine from Avsim as they have...

iheart707

I still don't understand how anyone can think of these jets as being any "quality". As far as I'm concerned, no airline has been flying it and no passenger has experience on any flight. A lot of the test flying that Boeing does is somewhat public, but many necessary documentations and simu...

The link I placed was only my second time making a movie with Sony Vegas. I was completely new to the world of editing - hence the type-o's.

Looks really good! It's hard to represent the old classics in FS! I did a project like that for my history class a long time ago. I didn't have the time to collect all that footage, so that's kind of why I decided to go with a pictoral approach rather than video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWtq7...

Well, I guess on a more positive note, through Windows Live it should be more stable than the flawed interface with Gamespy. That is ONE thing to look foward to. Dear God, (er, Microsoft...

Do you have a link to that article by chance?

iheart707

As he said, you are most likely overloaded with gas. Most airplanes land with an hour reserve, however I am not sure what that might be in the A380. Try burning enough gas on your flight to land with about 50,000 lbs or so. I use that figure all the time on the 747-400 and that's a pretty good sized...

I just hate seeing all of these legacy airlines die. Braniff, TWA, Northwest Orient, and more recently United, have now disappeared. Now AirTran is on their way out too?!

Know how to fly an airliner? How about a CRJ-700, 737-800, or a 747? We are looking for hard working pilots to fly our new routes!

Join the team at Chicago Flights FSX, apply today, and start flying tomorrow!

Funny, we still have die hard FS2004 pilots who will never go to FSX for some reason (Pentium D's are not fast anymore guys! Move on!). Now we are going to get die hard FSX fans that would rather go to X-plane (scumbags :evil: ) rather than to the new Microsoft simulator, Flight! Microsoft really sc...

From making my own movies, I know a thing or two about how to make the "Shaky Effect". First of all, there are MANY ways to do it. Some ways deal with adding a video editing effect after a recording, while others deal with shaking the camera during the recording. With video editing, (I use...

I turned on DX10 preview on my Windows 7 computer and the PA A380 does work with it on. No issues.

This was tested with the FSX .mdl.

iheart707

This is another small thing too. I noticed that there are no back-up gauges in case of an electrical failure in several different panels (payware, freeware along with those from the default aircraft). I'm not sure if this is limited to the panels for FSX, but it seems to have been overlooked in the ...

iheart707

So that would be August of next year, right? Or was that a Type-o?

iheart707

It is, but the thread needs some life again. I'm not sure how close they are to completion due to the work being done on the A380.

Kind of makes me a little sad seeing projects dry up.... But, I'm sure they fully intend on finishing up with the jet soon.

iheart707

This is a minor nit-picky kind of thing. The jetway needs to be moved upwards a bit. See the gap? It does not line up quite right vertically, but it is dead right on the Z-axis (or is it the X-axis?). http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll217/iheart707/Jetway.jpg I've also noticed that there is an is...

It looks great, but don't get over excited people. The model is for FS2004, and lacks a panel, sound, along with a decent VC. There is a mention for a soundest for the 717 but it was made for FS2002! :o Commentary aside, I took it out for a spin and it flies well and looks fantastic in FS2004. But, ...
