JF Canberra PR9 is out
- Thread starter YoYo
- Start date
I think the workload needed for the PR9 start-up procedure exceeds the capabilities of my computer. I followed the how-to video exactly and couldn't keep the engines running. I was only able to get it started by using the method previously mentioned: starting another plane and then selecting the PR9. I'm also getting the "Your computer has run out of memory..." show-stopper during flights which is a pretty good sign it's just too much for my rig.
The 'Your computer has run out of available memory' isn't a good sign. What are your system specs mate? I was able to run it (just) on my old WinXP rig though it wasn't happy (me neither)!!

Dave, here are my specs (don't laugh):
Windows XP 32-bit
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti graphics card
2.50 gigahertz Intel Pentium Dual-Core
64 kilobyte primary memory cache
2048 kilobyte secondary memory cache
Gigabyte G41M-ES2L motherboard
Two 2048 Mb DDR2 RAM sticks (that's all I can install)

Hello mate.
No laughing here. We have what we have and make the best of it
Honestly.. I think the PR9 is probably too much for your setup. My WinXP rig is also 32bit and my graphics card is similar (Asus GTX560Ti) but I have an intel E8400 dual-core in it which is 3gig out of the box. RAM is neither here nor there as you (like me on that rig) are restricted by the 32bit OS. The PR9 is heavy on that rig.. too heavy to be fun so it never got used. TBH.. it's heavy on my current rig.. as heavy as I'm comfortable going and this is Win7 Ultimate, Palit GTX560Ti (1.2gig), intel i5 2500K(3.3-3.7gig) with 8gig of system ram.
I'd have thought you'd have been able to start it mind.. even if it ran like a dog. That said.. I tried the QW146/RJ in FSX on the WinXP rig and it didn't have enough get up and go to initialize the gauges!! Ran like a dream in FS9 too.

Last night I had one of the engines failed during to roll, my guess is the abusive power input (?) that was the first time occurred since I had the PR9 many months ago lol
Btw, I browsed here and there and couldnt find any 3rd party repaints, either historical or fictional. If anyone knows something, please

The Canberra can only sustain negative G for several seconds before the engines will start to get starved of fuel

A long time ago the RAF were delivering a batch of Jaguars to the Omani Air Force, at which time (in a previous life) I was present for reasons that I can't divulge.
Apparently most of the RAF personnel involved were 'Hooray Harrys' and indulged in some 'interesting' low level flying.
It came to an abrupt halt when one of the 'Chicken' runs almost demolished two aircrew, one Toyota Corolla and one Jaguar.
The 'game' involved one aircraft screaming down a highway a naught feet while approaching one car driven in the opposite direction by a fellow pilot.
As you can see, the intrepid Jaguar pilot came in a trifle lower than planned, while the far more intrepid Corolla pilot remained firmly on course.
I manged to catch up with the Jaguar and the Corolla shortly after the 'incident', and I have no idea how the Corolla owner was going to word his insurance claim ........... good thing he ducked!
Not the best images but my group were supposed to 'blend into the background', I guess it proves we blended rather well.
That Jaguar must have been built like a brick dunny, which is probably why I retain a strong affection for the type to this day.

Nice one Ferry .. YIP ! ... Just something about about this Canberra, In the RNZAF Wigram museum they have a close relative , well in saying that the very era and style of aircraft , the cockpit of a two seat vampire , this is where this Canberra really shined ... then off course if we travel 50 miles south of Christchurch you can visit the Ashburton Aviation Museum were at request have the option to jump into the cockpit of the old RAF's Raspberry Ripple Canberra cockpit ... just for desert!Still a great aircraft!
It's amazing getting all around the internals .. the Navigators Nose Section as they would call it in the pilots notes and to get in the back to the Nav's normal station ... truthfully on a B(1).Mk.12 nose section was for weapon aiming ... but its just great to be able to really study it.
