pphibbs Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Great set of shots Iain. How does she fly? Give us some shots of her cockpit also. I really liked that shot where the road and rail converge at the bridge. Hadn't noticed that before - so much to discover and such fantastic detail. Thanks again Orbx team.

Runhand Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Hey Iain, How many airplanes do you have? Weren't you flying a Bellanca Super Viking not long ago? Do you have any favorites? How is the frame rate with the Safir? I could fly that plane with my Cougar Hotas. Love the cockpit. Runhand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost in Isaan Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Iain, if not, you should have been a salesman. Just bought and currently downloading YCNK after seeing these shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotchegg Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Great little plane - the VC is one of the best I've seen in any aircraft, especially the reflections on the plexiglass. The only shortcoming is that the textures on the external model aren't specular (I believe?) so the reflections are poor and seem a little one dimensional.

The only shortcoming is that the textures on the external model aren't specular (I believe?) so the reflections are poor and seem a little one dimensional. Safir X features: Four different and absolutely identical to real aircrafts models fully recreated for FSX Highly detailed and fully animated exterior and interior models including such FSX features as bump, reflection and specular mapping, dynamic self shadows, advanced animation Ultra smooth gauges based on 3D parts animation Sounds (engine and VC custom sounds) recorded from the real Safir aircrafts Realistic flight dynamics tested by real Safir pilots 100% realistic night light panel with a 4 step highlight adjustment Additional camera views in the VC cheers Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, fantastic little plane for VR flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Emms Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 Sorry if that came out wrong mate i was only saying the specs for the plane nothing ment by it cheers Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotchegg Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Not at all mate, I was just laughing at the comprehensive list of modern texture bells and whistles that I thought weren't there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naji Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Very nice shots, Ian. The colors are so vibrant. Are you using the HDR utility (enbSeries)? Naji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Scharnowski Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 To everyone who is considering buying the Safir: SibWings currently don't officially support Windows 7 and there are some reports on their forums that some people couldn't install/activate the aircraft on Windows 7. Just so you know. I hope this won't be a problem with the Bird Dog, because I really want that one and I do use Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pphibbs Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hi Guys, Just a fix for one of my aircraft that initially didn't install correctly on Win7. Right-click on the setup file and select "Run as Administrator". It's a rights thing and apparently even though I had local admin rights, they weren't enough to perform the install correctly. Maybe see if it makes a difference. Regards, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Abdey Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Very nice Iain - The Saab reminds me somewhat of the Dornier DO-27, but with a low wing...not exactly a beauty, but interesting in a quirky way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
