ricky76 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Is that going to be a fully functional Sandel 3308? HSI, ILS, stormscope and route following? FSX could sure use one of those. Looking good guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest strider Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Looks pretty ! But how does shy fly ? I hope you guys can simulate the stall buffet and criticle angles of attack stalls at any speed, along with fwd slips ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wade583 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Strike a light that is impressive! Can I ask, those reflections in the gauges, are they 'real time' reflections as at YBBN or are they painted on to give the impression of reflection? Not that it really matters but you know, its the techno freak in me that wants to know.. Outstanding work on this, gawd I can't wait for you to start on the Jabiru though! I'm itching for that one sooooo bad.... Wade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Charalambous Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 Strike a light that is impressive!

I'm itching for that one sooooo bad.... Wade The gauge and window reflections are 'painted on' because having reflections operating on these surfaces is too destracting.The reflective surfaces (like the metals and paints in the VC) use a custom built environment map similar YBBN's terminal windows. This is still a beta though, so this might change if it's seen to be a better option. We are exploring everything we can think of to make this bird as cutting edge as we can.

HercFan Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 For many unfortunate reasons, life as thrown several curve balls my way lately, but this brought a smile to my face. Those look great. Especially the beloved Sandel! Do I ever miss the RXP one in FSX (was/is FS9). Such a great tool. My ONE point I would like to raise... please... please make sure to nail the vc viewpoint! I believe you have access to the real plane so it should an easy thing to nail it. This is often my number 1 issue with many add-on's. I know developers want to showcase there great panels ALL the time Really looking forward to this. Oh, and count me in for the ones voting for a non-3d knob GPS (or the option to swap in RXP gauges). But then again, maybe your Garmins will surprise us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rambo Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Please include these special landing lights, like the lotussim L-39 uses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyxx Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Well someone as to ask..what target FPS hit are we looking at here? C152/birdDog or 185. Or is this GA plane eating up FPS like JS41 etc. The close up detail is stunning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Some FPS comparisons: Tamworth, all sliders maxxed including AI traffic, 2560x1600 resolution Default R22 - 34.0 FPS Bird Dog - 31.2 FPS Lancair IVP - 31.0 FPS PMDG JS41 - 21.0 FPS So in its current beta form it's -3 on the Robinson R22 and pretty much line ball with the Bird Dog. We expect FPS to go down by about -3 once the high poly modeling is done and the full avionics suite is done, so as a guide it will be R22 -6 compared to the JS41 which is R22 -13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 My ONE point I would like to raise... please... please make sure to nail the vc viewpoint! I believe you have access to the real plane so it should an easy thing to nail it. There's hardly a plane in my collection that I haven't edited the viewpoint slightly. What's right for a 6' 2'' pilot won't be right for someone who's only 5' 6". I will assume that you know how to edit the aircraft.cfg file to fine tune the eyepoint to your liking? If not post here or pm me and I'll bring you up to speed... EDIT: As promised here's the details: In the aircraft.cfg file (found in simobjects, then the folder of the aircraft you wish to modify) you will find lines under the view menu similar to: [Views] eyepoint=-3.90,-0.80,2.10 //(feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical distance from reference datum Most don't tell you what the figures mean, but this Carenado example helpfully does. Basically the first figure is the position in front of or behind the point in the aircraft that is the reference point, and reducing this figure will move the eyepoint back. Note that in this case it's a minus figure so reducing means a bigger minus figure) Second figure is the left and right position, minus is left seat, plus is right seat. Changing this figure to 0.80 would put me in the co-pilot's seat. The third figure is the one normally changed, and relates to the height of the viewpoint. In this case it has been set as 2.10 feet above the reference point. Small increases or decreases are in order when changing this figure. Initially if I wanted a slightly higher viewpoint I would try 2.30 or about 3 inches higher than the current setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimshot Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Or get EZdok camera. Since I have this tool I haven't edited a single viewpoint in the aircraft.cfg. It's very easy to get a pilot view that suits your needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyxx Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 -3 FPS on the BirdDog is great news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavier Piquemal Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 This little baby is gonna be awesome ! would be happy to make a short video of this bird when you have a build to give me John just send me an email if you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotchegg Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 How about a copy of Japanese playboy on the passenger seat rather than the map? I could probably provide you with a photo from somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenWood Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Looks excellent! This is going to be one sharp Lancair product. Thanks for all the hard work on this! Best regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
