  1. I snuck them in, before the wife came to the Den door with a rolling pin...and I KNOW she wasn't baking..... bye for now...now in Husband Survival Mode... (shuts down P3D v5.2.....)
  2. I'm getting threatened by the wife...get OUTTA THE DEN...NOW! Final shots...and then the sound of a lawnmower....
  3. Just a few more...before going out and cutting grass!
  4. Thanks...I'm buzzing around KORS...about to lose my P.P.L...at any minute! LOL Enjoyed taking them all...once I figured out how to embed the pics...
  5. Flying over the marina for an approach to KACK. I'm really enjoying this recent purchase!
  6. On my way over towards the Marina, and my approach to KACK...
  7. So far, KBUR for myself (new purchase) has the highest load in factor for VRAM at 4.7 GB. That's out of 7.1 (or so) available on my GTX1070 (non Ti). Most of everywhere, including the busy happenings at KSAN, are about 3.0 to 3.3 GB's, so a lot of stuff is rendering at or near KBUR. Visually, it sure looks that way! I used to live in Van Nuys, so it's fun to fly in the area. BTW, I have never seen A.I. road traffic as much on the clean and clear roads as since v5.2 especially the L.A. and Valley interstates. It LOOKS, like I'm home...LOLOLOLOLOL. Trying to get out of the Valley, along I-10 towards Disney Land, ...was real torture, EVEN in the late 60's!
  8. Thanks Brad...I really love the fact that roads are now fully formed, literally right out to the horizon event! Primary and Secondary. If they are, you know that everything else is as well!
  9. Thanks guys...they really please me, when viewed at 4K! Not too fancy, but just a couple that I V'ed...(smile). The three part wakes and particle effects are pretty fabulous to my view, and I hope that MSFS gets this treatment. If so, that would be just great! We would all win in that!!!!
  10. One, flying north from Key West, Florida, and the second, just off of the coast in the PNW
  11. KBUR loaded in at 4.7 GB's as I started to taxi around the airport, snooping....that was the largest VRAM load in, to date. Lot's of stuff happening in them, thar, parts!
  12. Hello Nick....just got back from a successful flight using the EA-7...which tells me, that MSFS still has 'hidden' bugs...and here is why I think so: I own MSFS Premium Deluxe. As stated, since opening this thread...all of the failures to fly, rotate maintain climb...with every case...a severe wing drop...stall, and crash to a Morgue slab. With reading your post...I reloaded from Orbx Central again...and then fired up MSFS Premium Deluxe. When at my 'home screen', the very first thing I did was to go to check out what FLIGHT MODEL was showing in the box. It was MODERN. Ok...thought as much...it was showing throughout my inibility to control this aircraft. What did I do? I on purpose, APPLED LEGACY, and then imediatly after that, once more applied MODERN, with APPLY locking it in. I then, and only then, brought up my HANGAR, and selected the white default livery EA-7, and selected KPGD. Crossing my fingers...I took to the threshold, and started my roll. I gained the air...started a stable climb at 70 Knots, and with a 5 percent climb rate, made out to 2,800 at a climb speed of 70-75 Knots, at full throttle. I did three circuits of KPGD, and then turned onto final, landed with a controlled 'flair' and turned off of the runway I had taken off from. Even at full throttle, I never could gain higher than around 70-80 Knots. (is this normal, with a ceiling height of reported 14,000 feet?) I had a controlled landing at 55-60 Knots, and taxied to Civil. My MSFS WAS on MODERN as it took me to my Home Page. The only thing I did, that I had not done yesterday, was to actually cycle that setting from Modern, to Legacy, and right back to Modern, with an APPLY for each switch. So....something is wonky. Perhaps, with the latest Nordic update (?!?!?!) Even if the FLIGHT MODEL shows in the sim as MODERN, it might just be acting as LEGACY (!?!?!??!). So...I finally got a controlled flight out of the plane. I have a question. Even at full throttle, and barely a 3 percent climb rate on the horizon....can this plane only generate 70-80 knots, and only that, at full throttle...because that is all I can obtain. I did not have any wing dip or threat of stall even at 60 knots...but is this plane so truly underpowered? How do you get to 10,000 feet? So, with having to (as John did...) to reinstall the plane twice into MSFS, and then purposefully switch from MODERN to LEGACY, back to MODERN , something is indeed going on here. MSFS? Wonky coding of the Flight Model? Anyways...I got a first controlled flight, but only in doing something nobody including myself would normally do, to recycle a setting that came up from MSFS initialization as showing MODERN for flight model. Just a head's up to other readers....you might want to cycle Modern to Legacy and back to Modern with applies...NO MATTER that your MSFS showed you in MODERN mode. You might (hidden bug...) just NOT BE! O.F.
  13. I deleted it Nick but will reload and try once more....with being certain that MODERN is showing as enabled before I load a take a flight. I will report shortly. I can't imagine that if you have MODERN as the flight model on, it would not color that characteristic....but never say never. If you replicated all that I stated...I'll try again with MODERN in the mask, enabled. TTYL.
  14. You also get a few more art assets with Vector, including highway underlays, and Railroads. Also, Prime, Secondary, and Tertiary road networks as well.
  15. Yes John, and thanks for that head's up. It was on Modern...all my flights are with that as enabled. I took two birds after I changed up planes, and they were wonderfully behaved...rotation, climb, power...all of it. The EA-7 is going back to the manufacturer, lol! Tried it...and the experience was a fail. Thanks for posting! O.F.
  16. TE is killer in XP! A 'gotta' have. I think it's the way XP handles color pallets. Deeper, 'glossier'....and P3D is more pastel in nature.
  17. Hi John, I don't have Honolulu, but my wife and I head down to Myrtle Beach and Charleston, for some vacation time. I actually really like it...as it does to my mind represent the topography of the city and surrounding region...especially the estuaries. I' love to see it native for v5.2!
  18. Thank you very much for the above info...truly! Cheers! I read the REFUND policy and have made my request. Thank you Doug! Much appreciated. Post Edit: Doug, I am about to uninstall it from MSFS and will expect it (the EA-7 Optica) to be deleted from my Account after refund. Thank you! Post Edit 2: Now uninstalled from MSFS, using Orbx Central.
  19. Thanks...and Doug...I can't fly this plane...can't keep it in the air (flight model issues?)...and the sound of the brake lever 'clicking sound' keeps looping...when moving at taxi...with no use of the Brake Lever. I can't use this purchase, Doug...could you start a refund request for me? If not...how to achieve that? I just bought this plane, this morning. I do formally request a refund of purchase. Thanks. Doug, I'm just not happy with the product, as is.
  20. John, the click that I am hearing as I move at taxi, or attempt to take off from a roll...is the sound you will hear, if you move the Brake Lever, up or down...it 'clicks'. I get that no matter if the brake is off....and laying flat against the console. Is driving me crazy enough not to use this product, even if I didn't have other issues with it, namely, I can't barely get this to rotate, and stay in the air...all my attempts this morning...since a double (your recommendation) reinstall of the files....to take a flight has ended in a left wing, drop and stall (can't get the engine to produce power...and yes, it is running with both fuel valves open, and the Fuel Pump set to on, and Fuel Mixture set to 100 percent rich,...for take off roll out) . I have not modified the load out of the plane. Stock from installation. Right now...this product and purchase is literally unusable. I hope Doug will offer a solution, or will get a refund going for me.
  21. Doug, what is fixed. I double installed, (had to) and got the engine to start...and found out that the clicking sound is the sound of the brake handle moving up or down, but it keeps making that sound even if the brake is off and the handle is not 'moved'. Also, I can NOT get into the air with a full length runway lift off, (trim is set to take-off)...and if I do, barely, the plane (flight model) is incontrollable...and my wings drop, in stall, and I crash to the ground. I also can NOT (no engine power!?!??!) get barely past 60 knots...and in the air...nothing over 60...which leads to a drop wing stall and crash to the ground. What do you mean was fixed? As is...this aircraft is unflyable at v1.01 ...and the sound of the brake lever constantly firing off in the sound module (cockpit environment), with no movement up or down, is intolerable as is. Thank you...and waiting for your reply.
  22. Florida has been a good title to own. It really looks good running inside v5.2! I think that I will just be quite happy with my Regionals, that cover the entire West Coast from Baha to Alaska...and as I stated, seasons are in play with Regional Titles. I really like Orbx's San Diego (it blends in very well with Regional Southern California) and looks stunning with high FPS upon the property, and flying around the square miles near it. Coming in for approach...is real eye-candy. I couldn't even think of buying this title for v4.5 or v5.1, as the FPS would be crawling, and I would be approaching 'spray paint'....!!!! Yes...P3D v5.2 was a real 'my system' game changer.
