yeah it's by aerosoft. i was quite happy when it came out coz finally they covered my hometown Grin

, but it comes down hard on my system and i do get very long texture loading times occasionally Sad

. still a decent scenery overall tho.

i use 2d cockpits mostly so i haven't spend much time in the vc of the cessna yet. seems alright at the first look but you have to test it urself coz ur probably more the specialist in that subject Wink

heh, well. I aint flown 2d panel since fs2002 came out.
Isnt VFR like that supposed to be good, as it doesnt have autogen so u can get very good FPS..??

Must be a nice area u live in Grin

yeah i dunno why i'm into the 2d panels at the moment. at the beginning i thought i would never use one but that changed. maybe coz i'm too lazy to pan around the vc? Grin

. i do like very detailed vcs tho but they also tend to hit the FPS quite a bit. i prefer the more photorealistic 2d panels (the captain sim 727 for example) to the normal ones tho coz it just looks...well, realer lol.

yeah the lack of autogen certainly helps with the framerate and actually the framerate is really good with the scenery but the problem is the loading of ground textures. sometimes it works fine and sometimes it just doesnt load properly (so the texture stays blurry) and u have to hit pause to make them load properly Undecided

. i'm sure the problem can be solved and i read some posts of people with the same problem that came up with solutions. just have to keep trying and adjust stuff and maybe play around with the fs9.cfg a bit hehe.

actually i live in kent at the moment Grin

but my hometown is in bavaria. it's up in the north of the state tho, so it's not very spectacular to look at in the scenery coz there r no mountains at all Grin

Yurei,

Nice shots.

Keep in mind that the SimV max size limit for a picture is 100K....and some are over that. You need to use a photo edit program and get the size down using a bit of compression before uploading.

best,

A very nice program for reducing file sizes is irfranview... Wink

Welcome to the forums mate! Be sure to stop by the moderators office and have them get you fitted for the straight-jacket that is sure to come after years of endless posts!

hello john, thanks

i'm sorry about the file size, i had resized them but i guess not enough Wink

. i made them smaller again, i think they r all around 90k now

. won't happen again Wink

.

btw, i think i checked out the threat about your home build cockpit Shocked

. that is something i guess we all dream about and to see someone turning it into reality is truly inspiring. keep up the good work

Thanks for the warm welcome, jared

i just downloaded irfanview, thanks for the tip. i had a quick look at it, but i'm not really sure if i will need it as i'm using photoshop usually. or is there some way it does the resizing with better quality outcome than photoshop? that sure would be nice

about the straight-jacket, Grin

i'll make sure i pay them a visit as i'm planning to stick around for a while (well for as long as u guys put up with me Grin

)

omg, that's alot of smilies in this post Roll Eyes
