IRIS Simulations Diamond Star XLS OUT!!!

Beaty and the beast

It´s a beauty, but a FPS killer. My fps occilates badly with this. Going from 15 to 60 in a question of miliseconds in a sparse scenery. And sttutes too. Did a "defrag" after the installation of it to make it better, but didn´t help much.
I did the same flight using the Diamond Star and the Eaglesoft Citation X 2.0 and it went smooth with the second. Maybe a patch in the future for better performance??
And i don´t know if it has anything to do, but the time to FSX loads a flight with the Diamond Star takes forever!!!!!! Not happening with other pay aircrafts.
For the rest, i´m completely satisfied, it flies very well. :icon_lol:
 
I personally suffer very little FPS loss, mostly caused by the glass cockpit which is to be expected. No problems on my end to report.
 
Needs a fictional CAF Paint like the Twin Otters use. Still cant find her in the snow blind with all the white paint:icon_lol:.
 
can tell when i've been involved that'll be changed that post it ;) as will the seat textures (The seat textures are my fault) any preference on a colour there? :kilroy:
 
My T-6's interior is custom Yellow/Red with 440sq's crest. One of the guys at Moosejaw did it for me.
 
ok can use the fabric badge on it, unless you have a nice and ultra clear one? :salute: will work on it overnight (After i've watched the Superbowl) :jump:

The yellow and red FIP scheme is the primary paint for all CAF SAR aircraft. Try taking a USCG fixed wing up here in the arctic 440Sq land and run her against our CAF SAR fixed wings in drills. The USCG fails in visability from ground which is very critical. The CAF scheme is much higher Vis and can be seen from the ground in our blinding snow/ice conditions. 442Sq in BC uses the same scheme on there Buffalo and Merlins. the worst color primary up here for SAR AC or Trainers is White or even dark orange. Civil Airlines up here know better and cancel flights when we hit 40-40-40. thats -40 Air -40 Ground -40 destination. This means CYZF is closed period.
And now some nice pics of my 3 hour trot around the Arctic. Hope the UK MOD don't mind I borrowed theres. Need to figure why my AA is goofy with paints but not the model.
 
it's not paint on her.. adly, because of the materials used in making the composite, heat is a problem. to circumvent the problem, only certain areas of the plane can be painted.. the rest is white because of it's reflectivity..

Eh what heat up here? We don't have heat just Air conditioning. Even in the Summer nothing gets hot here.

it displays in 1024 pixels for each MFD. Decreasing your pixel_size value in the panel.cfg for the PFD and MFD may help

tried that
it works wonders even on a faster machines and I have noticed that it is not a very high quality drop

before I was between 20-40FPS
after I changed MFD & PFD to 512 Pixel 40-80FPS
