Taking the Corsair test plane up over the Death Valley photoreal scenery. Thanks for the LOD advise Pierre Wink

I ran into a snag (see main forum) but the FSX's graphics settings will have to do for now.

I'm not sure what I keep doing wrong, but the engine keeps flaming out on me about 10 minutes into flight so I guess I'll have to read the manual now. Grin

Very well done and the aircraft livery colors look just great with the desert terrain. Smiley

ps.... I use to work on the Crusader when I was in the Navy during the 1950s.

Great shots Cool

Cool

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

It's not just you, I get the same thing. Even after I broke down and read the manual I was still only getting about 25 minutes of flight time before all went quiet. Then I went so far as to enable unlimited fuel.......still only 20 or so minutes before gravity was not my friend. Embarrassed

When I get a few minutes freetime I was gonna e-mail the maker to get a tip or two as to what I'm missing. Huh

Hey, those shots look great! Seems like you're on the right track on that LOD thing Wink

Wink

as far as the engine flaming out, I had the same thing and after reading the manual I think there's something about a power setting you cannot go past... If I remember correctly, you cannot be above 86% engine power for more than 10 min otherwise the engine will die. I'm not sure on the numbers but this was the issue. After respecting the correct power setting I was fine to fly. Hope this helps Grin

Thanks guys. Yeah I noticed that when I took it up today and kept it at about 75% I had zero issues. Definitely a fun bird!

I'm jealous Bob Grin

Nice shots but I only like those 3D lights at night, they should have designed em to not look so big and bright in daytime views. Cool
