airman Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I want to congratulate all those who made changes and updates to the Lancair with the new 1.2 patch. Although I cannot put my finger on all the modifications. I can surely tell how much improvement on an already super plane that was made. Every thing about this plane just seem "right". Thanks again.. Airman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanTenner Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I havent tested it yet but I thought of the Lancair as of a great work and now you are getting it even better. :thumpsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek McAllan Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I'd like to add my thanks too mate. I really love the new lighting effects in particular, especially the fully adjustable lighting levels in the cockpit. Two thumbs up! Cheers, Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Kane Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I finally got a chance to fly the new Lancair update today. Well done. I flew from Stewart to Prince Rupert and came across some rain along the way. The new rain effects on the windscreen are great. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanTenner Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I also tried and I pretty enjoy the new stuff. But the Lancair is pretty hitting the FPS. But anyway I ll just stay away from the big airports and cities and the FPS are very good. From that quality of textures and modell I wouldnt except anything else than stutters at Brisbane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeleton Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hi, I like the Lancair, the new patch is very useful, thanks a lot. But I found a (very) little mistake, I think: At the Airspeed Indicator it sais at the bottom "TAS" --> True Airspeed, but the Airspeed Indicator shows IAS --> Indicated Aispeed (that's why it is called Airspeed Indicator). You can read the TAS at the Nav Display of the Comm/Nav Units. But as I told you, it is only a little mistake and not annoying. Best regards, Felix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Charalambous Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 It's actualy both. Indicated airspeed is read from the main scale, but it is possible to work out true airspeed using this instrument. By setting the tas card behind it correctly. First step is to set standard density altitude on you altimeter and take the indicated altitude. Next step is to set the altitude scale read through the top hole in the asi to the density altitude that you read from your altimeter. Align this with the zero marker on the temperature scale. Read outside air temperature and make the altitude align with the temp scale. Then read off the white scale to get the corrected tas. Note that this is calibrated for normal cruise in the 150-220kias cruise speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeleton Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Oh, thanks, I didn't know that... It shows how detailed the Lancair is... Felix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockitglider Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hello, I too installed the update but it seems to use all 4 gigs of my ram untill I get a fatal error in FSX and have to close the program, and also I loose the external textures on the aircraft in chase view and all I can see is the lights and the windows, vc view is fine. I am using the non HD version because the HD causes FPS increase but used to work ok before patch. Anyone else having any problems? Thanks, Rockitglider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeleton Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I have problems with the RAM and the Lancair, too. I think that is because the Lancair needs much resources... If you switch into the Outside View, the impact to the RAM is very big. But as in reality you aren't able to see your airplane from outside (in most of the cases...) If you don't switch views, the memory won't fill up so quickly. To save some of the memory I use the free tool "Game Booster"/>http://iobit.com/gamebooster.html You can clean up your RAM with it.

pocketwatch50 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I have to say this is one of the best sims out there ranking right with the best 2 or 3. Game Booster is a great add on. It enables you to close down apps running in the background giving you more memory and resources for FSX. I have a 4+ year old computer and I'm able to run the lancair in HD fine with it.

JanTenner Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Just a little question about the new patch, is it now impossible to choose both fuel tanks? I now can choose onle left, right or none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Charalambous Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Just a little question about the new patch, is it now impossible to choose both fuel tanks? I now can choose onle left, right or none. That's correct, the real aircraft has no both option so it's the same for the simulated one. In reality there are very few low wing GA aircraft that have a both option.

I hope I get the Lancair airborne this evening. Like this plane very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Charalambous Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 that must be a little omission of mine, guess i will fix that for the next build. Thanks for pointing it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
