FS 2004:

In response to Ozzy's  post regarding the new FSX Payware EE Lightning from Just Flight... /yabb?num=1335279662

..I decided to try out the Freeware version for my FS 2004..>>> Parked up at Bowerman...>>>
...
from here:  http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=AVALightning.zip&x=18&y=5

WOW..a seriously quick aeroplane, to get from A to B!
It got me from Seattle to Bowerman in a twinkling of an eye..(almost)... Smiley...!
Fitted with a uncomplicated 2D Panel which always suits me just fine!... Smiley...!
A very nice model, and easy to manage!

Paul...I like; "Easy to Manage"... Wink...!

I always have "Anti-aliasing" (and Shadows) selected in my FS 2004 (and FSX)...and my Graphics Card.

It makes my images sharper, and prevents the effect of trees and Runways; "shimmering" in the distance!
It has no adverse effect on my FS 2004 Frame rates... Smiley...!

Paul.... Cool...!

I don't think AA is off.Some AC I have do that with a particular livery. The body lines will be sleek but the texture in which they painted from certain angles give off a jaggie vibe.

Nice shot Fozz Wink

The reason it looks like AA is off is because it's FS9. (Which is not Very Good. Grin Lips Sealed)

Nice shot Paul. Wink

You are not getting any of my nice Dinners, Andy!... Angry....... Grin...!

Paul...FS 2004.... Smiley... Grin... Grin... Grin...!

Actually...after Daube mentioned it, I re-checked my FS 2004 Hardware setting, and for some reason, Anti-aliasing had mysteriously switched itself off...very strange!
..its back on again, now!... Smiley...!

Interesting also, in my Lightning screenshot thing i did which i linked to in Ozzys post about the FSX Lightning, i added this under one of my shots :-.....

"In British Airways trials in April 1985, Concorde was offered as a target to NATO fighters including F-15 Eagles, F-16 Fighting Falcons, F-14 Tomcats, Mirages, F-104 Starfighters - but only Lightning XR749, flown by Mike Hale and described by him as "a very hot ship, even for a Lightning", managed to overtake Concorde on a stern conversion intercept. The XR749 now resides at the entrance of Score Group plc's gas turbine testing and servicing facility in Peterhead, Scotland."

Odd in fact, to note, the Lightning in your Shot is indeed, XR749..... Shocked

I was just trying to wind you up Paul (My specialty Grin).

FS9 is good, heck even FS2002 is.

... Grin... Grin...!

I know... Grin...!

Its a funny old do..but I have FS 2002, FS 2004, and FSX on my hard drive, and I regularly run all of them at different times.
They each have their own slight differences, and delights!

...but I constantly get dragged back, kicking and screaming, to the final comfort of my FS 2004...
..there is something;.. .."Homely"...about it!... Kiss...!
I'm going to have a basin-full of FSX in a minute, (whilst Dins is cooking), but you can bet your boots, I will be back to FS 2004 by this afternoon!... Cheesy...!

Paul... Grin... Grin...!

I have "UT USA" for both FS 2004 and FSX...
..what do I like about FSX?....
The moving traffic on the roads...(its "fixed" on my FS 2004)...and the ability to use ATC during Multiplayer sessions.... (Not possible in FS 2004)... Smiley...
..otherwise... Wink... Grin...!
