First Super Connie in 10 years!

It's a FS9 SDK model but performs perfectly in FSX! This release is a preview of what is coming. There will be all version of the Super Connies; also the earlyer short nosed and the military versions. All with VC.

Got the Paint Kit from AvSim, can't wait, must do something with this, just have such a passion for the Connie, about the only tube I worship! :rapture:

Is this for FSX ?

In other words what the response should have been:

NO.

Who cares what sim this is for?? It is for whatever Sim it was designed to be for. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT!

The point is that the community should be asking for FSX models by now. Even from freeware developers. It is the reason FS9 is still so popular. Computer performance has caught up with FSX, but the number of addons isn't even in the same galaxy.

IIRC this is also the FSX forum. This plane is not intended for FSX. I'm not a moderator though... thankfully :engel016:

(That's the last time I'm going to bother even trying to stand up against the flow here. It is really pointless (and usually counterproductive) to post any opinions contrary to all the members' general beliefs.)

Barry,
In the past, there's been confusion about compatibility of aircraft in FSX/SP2. That is why I asked the questions that I did. There are quite a few people who fly only 100% FSX/SP2 aircraft...

And some of these FSX/SP2 aircraft have problems/issues in FSX/RTM & FSX/SP1. That is why clarification was needed :)

Right. There really is no such thing as an "FSX" aircraft. It should be specified whether it is "FSX", "FSX SP1", or "FSX SP2/Acceleration" (or all of the above!)....

Complicated enough? :)

FSX is now SP2 and accel. A model designed for one of those will work with the other. Applications aren't made for XP SP1 or SP2 anymore, they are made to work in SP3 (but most happen to conveniently work in SP1 and SP2). Real FSX airplanes are made for SP2 and acceleration and are compiled with the FSX compiler, not the FS9 compiler.

I think it's good to indicate what variation the model has been tested on, though - as there is not just the model, but airfiles, too. Things which tested well with SP2/Acceleration have had issues with SP1, for example - not the model, but other variables, as well.

Yes I think developers should mention if things might not work in SP1. That still doesn't change the fact that FSX Sp2/accel is the most current version that developers should be building for. The vast majority of simmers who use FSX have SP2 or Acceleration.

I would debate that this "rule" you've stated doesn't apply to freeware developers :)

Not to jump in and step on any toes and such, Kiwikat does have a point that this is the FSX forum. But others have a point that this is a freeware developer. Go hang out in the CalClassic forums, and what you have amongst the developers there is a highly knowledgable and very experienced group (many are older aviators) who I guarantee you aren't running rigs capable of FSX. They create for themselves and for anybody else who enjoys such things in the environment that they use. You will notice that M.Jahn's Constellations are only uploaded in the FS9 section at avsim and they fully explain that it is for FS9 and that any FSX use is not supported in any way and that things may not work properly.

If you would like an FSX/SP2 Connie, JustFlight is going to release one eventually, made by Aeroplane Heaven.

Exactly why I asked the starter of this thread for clarification :)
 
The general thrust of this thread was :

1.Is this for FSX ?

2.It's a FS9 SDK model but performs perfectly in FSX!

3.Thanks
Looks like it will be fine in FSX & FSX SP1...

... at which stage, everything is completely clear. Those who have FS9, FSX, FSX SP! can download it if they so choose. Those who run SP2/Acceleration may also decide what they want to do.

There was no further need for this :

In other words what the response should have been:

NO.

After this, there follows a pedantic argument as to what really constitutes
"FSX" and or a pedantic discussion of just exactly what FSX "is"

I still say - who cares?? Download it or don't.
