Ian Routley Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 There is a framehit for the VC (say about 8-10 over a Carenado VC for me) But quite flyable ... and very nice systems and cockpit modelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EEK! 8-10 FPS hit on an i7 with a GTX280??? That might be a deal breaker for me, anybody else with the same results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennyson Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I'm just downloading now and will be looking at the aussie paints for it. I've got a bunch of pics and the Ozzie liveries are quite plain. I reckon this thing was made for the small airports like Tamworth....oooh, can't wait Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Routley Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 8-10 takes you from 46 fps down to 38 which I wouldn't notice if it weren't for the little red numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EEK! 8-10 FPS hit on an i7 with a GTX280??? That might be a deal breaker for me, anybody else with the same results? Me too. A 10 FPS hit would take me into low double digits so may have to pass on this one until I get a new rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 10 FPS hit would take me into low double digits so may have to pass on this one until I get a new rig. With VC displays on medium, and no icing effects in the cockpit, I pull a steady 30fps on an E7300 + HD4870 512mb. Dont be afraid of this bird because of frames.

Adam Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 LoL adam you prick, you beat me to it...... I just finished the download HAHA yeah. I just finished the tutorial flight in it. I took me 3 hours of programing to get set for takeoff LOL. Fantastic flying but....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Routley Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Hmmm - I should point out that I fly with all sliders to the right, and every option ticked. I don;t think this is a framekiller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susto Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 HAHA yeah. I just finished the tutorial flight in it. I took me 3 hours of programing to get set for takeoff LOL. Fantastic flying but....... Adam, You mean it takes 3 hours from cold and dark to take off? That much? I was considering this, but I don't usually have that amount of time Regards, Juan Andres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic flying but....... Adam, You mean it takes 3 hours from cold and dark to take off? That much? I was considering this, but I don't usually have that amount of time Regards, Juan Andres After doing the tutorial a few times thereby getting to know where all the buttons are, the behaviour of the FMC, etc - I'm sure it would take significantly less, otherwise we wouldn't see the market for the real thing.

Adam Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 yeah thats right. from cold and dark it took me 3 hours to work everything out. I have flown the 738,744 and the md11 but the FMS in the J41 is unlike these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Hmmm - I should point out that I fly with all sliders to the right, and every option ticked. I don;t think this is a framekiller. Its not a framekiller cause you have a NASA computer pretty much. Not everyone has a NASA computer which can run everything to the right and fly PMDG aircraft at your fps. Im sure if i went to the Kennedy Space Centre and hired one of their computers i would have the same performance as yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Routley Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Indeed, I gather the space shuttle computers are based on 1970s technology. The main thing about FSX (if you are not running a current generation i7 or similar) is that you need to make some compromises (typically with autogen density or other settings). Other add-on aircraft kill frames more than this one ... but the question as to frames is always a bit subjective. FSX is always a good reason to buy a new computer though .....

mozzy_06 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I reckon this thing was made for the small airports like Tamworth....oooh, can't wai Frank Indeed. Be great to have an alternative to a Dash-8 for regional flights. Look forward to reading some more from early adopters regarding performance.

johnny Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 If I were a real pilot on the J41 I would be really annoyed if someone kept smudging the glass like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 LOL Johnny! I was going to say something about that, too! I'm on the beta team for the JS41, and with practice, you can get her up and rolling in under ten minutes. I did most of my beta testing with flights from YBBN-YCFS-YPMQ and back. She's right at home there. Downloading Tamworth now, and I am sure she'll be at home there, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 I wish i could get her up and airborn in 10 min. I took me 3 hours the first flight and im not a noob with FMC, FMS' or FMGC's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could Adam.Your very first SS makes me smile as you have not armed the spoilers and it looks like you did not enter your V # :) I know.....you just wanted to get in the air Even in the tutorial if you just do PAX fuel and engine start you can get up fast, its learning that FMS thats the time killer Did my first flight from YSTW to coffs no FMS just fsx VFR, no AP, she is a very very nice plane to fly and one hell of a VC to be in The AP made me smile its almost the same as the CS 727, not used it yet but from the 727 I know just how that works, old school FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Anderson Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I'm still trying to work out the AP, I can hold a heading and so forth but for some reason it wont hold the altitude I put in? And the FMS, well I've never been familiar with them hehe, maybe I should take the time to read up on the J41's FMS and learn how it works? Also nice shots Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
