They've not gone anywhere. Just no deflection shown in the shots.

Post by **GaryG** » 21 Mar 2010, 16:47

indeed, and how are they supposed to be "random" and appear?

Tom Collins · Post by **Tom Collins** » 21 Mar 2010, 16:49

I don't follow. Take a look at the videos I've posted on Youtube to get a sense of how they operate.

@ Tom.. thats your department

Well if you're only after videos of myself drinking beer and looking pensive then fine - that's about all I can muster this week...

Would love to see the PA guys drunk!

Beautiful screenshots, what system do you have to get them so good?

Thomas · Post by **Thomas** » 21 Mar 2010, 19:25

i mean random because i forgot the word "deflection" (thanks tom collins)

Great Shots !

Post by **DerKranich** » 21 Mar 2010, 21:31

Nice screenshots

I take it the "test flight" was for the FDE.

Post by **GaryG** » 21 Mar 2010, 21:46

Ah ok because I recall there was a reason why they moved

Cheers

Great shots! I hope this test flight from FRA has been a good one. Maybe soon...

No, that issue still stands unfixed.

And how would you know?

Tranceaddict · Post by **Tranceaddict** » 23 Mar 2010, 16:36

cos apparently he asked on twitter and we replied.. or rather I replied.. but anyways, i think we shud have it nailed soon.

As far as the system specs are concerned for those screenshots..

CPU : E8400 Core 2 Duo @ stock
Gfx : EVGA nVidia 8800GT 512KO (ancient by todays standards.. but still pretty darn good)
Mobo : Asus P5K Deluxe Wifi
Ram : 4x1GB Crucial Ballistix Tracers @ 4-4-4-12
OS : Win 7 Home Premium 64bit
Adobe Photoshop - sharpen details

thats about it

NoseGear · Post by **NoseGear** » 24 Mar 2010, 16:30

Wow, that's pretty basic but I guess your frames are good. I thought you guys would have some crazy systems, but then again your not payware. :S

Thanks for replying!

Tranceaddict · Post by **Tranceaddict** » 25 Mar 2010, 14:07

for anyone with the expertise, talent & time could easily add systems to this genius of a model (if im allowed to say so) but sure... crazy systems & we'd cease to be freeware.

the reason we're freeware is because we have awesome expertise in modelling, great talent in painting but we're lacking full time experts in the other areas of FDE/programming/systems whatever you wanna call it.

Above all, our time devoted to the project is not without sacrifices on our personal lives.

NoseGear · Post by **NoseGear** » 25 Mar 2010, 16:09

Amen.

BTW... my message was about your PC system. My payware comment was a bit ambiguous. I was just thinking of the Aerosoft team with their crazy overclocked systems. But they have revenue to spend on that.

I never expected your team to make systems as all your models are beautiful and fly right. (Unlike POSKY 737s. FDE is bad.)

Sorry for the mix up...
keep working at it.

Excelent work, but Emirate's a380 doesn't have Roll Royce Engines as far as I know

here's the page with the orders specifications: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ai ... deliveries

Post by **Derek Mayer** » 02 Apr 2010, 18:26

What about the EK shot (http://www.flightsimpaints.com/data/ima ... _uae_1.jpg) makes you think they are RR engines? (I don't remember whether Tom was using the RR model or not, but from that angle its pretty much impossible to tell unless you know something I don't..)

wud u rather that or no shots @ all, given our rather abundant testing times?

Post by **DerKranich** » 03 Apr 2010, 02:01

Although just to double check, will the A380 would include a model with the EA engines as well as the Rolls Royce? I could've sworn I saw something saying that will be the case.

Post by **Derek Mayer** » 03 Apr 2010, 20:28

Yes both engines will be done.

Tranceaddict · Post by **Tranceaddict** » 05 Apr 2010, 13:50

this time its not a screenshot... its a movie..

my rather lame attempt at recording my high speed - high altitude testing of the control responses as part of identifying the FDE fix.

here goes..

+10 easter eggs to any eagle eyed viewer who can tell us whats out of place (apart from the RR engines on an EK livery

)

anonymouse91 · Post by **anonymouse91** » 05 Apr 2010, 17:03

Great video! Can't wait for the release

As for something being out of place, could it be the Emirates red flag colour not extending onto the fuselage? :?

Tranceaddict · Post by **Tranceaddict** » 05 Apr 2010, 17:05

lol.. ok tip : it has nothing to do with the livery. as we said.. the tail was just slapped on to the base textures for fun.

take a closer look at the wingbox area & let us knw

Wing flex?
it seems to be absent i may be wrong!
:mrgreen:

Post by **GaryG** » 05 Apr 2010, 18:14

Gotcha !!!!!

Ok, don't know how it's said in painting terms, just the non-linearity of the paint.

it begins in one way from the box, then continues in another throughout the whole wing.

Am I correct?

Is it the little white light that's been placed on the winglet? I'm not quite sure it's supposed to be there...

Movieman162 · Post by **Movieman162** » 05 Apr 2010, 23:10

I didn't see much textures underneath (watching on a ipod) so could it be something like the rat turbine????

Anyway looks great is this the vc version in beta or is la still following to it's original plan??

Thanks

It's close now...I can smell it in the air...or actually that may just be the hamburger I'm frying up.

Seriously this project must of been an on-going nightmare for the development team, you must feel a big sense of accomplishment when it get's released.
