  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Classics Hangar Fw190 released!

Really nice! Very sensitive to fly, beautiful VC, and do I spot shadows under the gauge needles? And great framerates!

Won't have time to read the manual until tonight, so haven't explored everything yet....

Only problem I have is blurry textures, and I can't find a setting that cures this. The small stencils are sharp, but overall many textures are blurred.

Great sounds, very powerful, with that unhurried sort of tone that radial aircraft have.

Looking forward to further getting to know this aircraft - and how do I cure the blurries? I want to see all the beautiful details here! :)

Very nice indeed, cool VC, nice sounds, but I agree, the textures disappoint (see last pic for an example). The manual said change the FSX.cfg to allow 2048 textures, but I saw no difference.
There are enough of them though! Wow, not much left to paint...
Other small things I noticed: the wheels seem to have sunk in the mud a tad too much (first pic), and the tailwheel doesn't seem to rotate (taildragger?).
The engine noise gets a nice whine when you're really in a hurry, normally it's nice and lazy. Doesn't feel like you're going fast until you want to land, what, 550 km/h?
Very difficult to steer on the ground, but I may be doing something wrong...stick forward to unlock tailwheel?
I actually seems rather big compared to the jug that I found to accompany it on my maiden flight, I always thought the P-47 would be much bigger.
Anyway, enjoy the shots!
 
Is this the only plane with large textures in your hangar that does this?
I ask since we havn't seen this issue during beta.
Contrary to common fashion we have not stripped the mipmaps off the external textures. Would you check your graphics card settings for something like "force mipmaps", dissable that and see how it goes?
Thanks.

Get closer to the Jug and you'll see that it's almost twice as large.

Weirdo on the blurry textures.
As I said, we havn't seen anything like that during beta.
Will check on it ASAP.
Thanks for the report!

One thing to keep in mind when editing the FSX.cfg:
Whenever you open the display settings again from within FSX it will revert back to default 1024 pixel.
Having said that saving settings to a profile as described by Nick C *may* help

Yes, thanks, aware of that. I think we should wait and see what others say - if it's just my computer, then I'll have to see what I can do. I wonder if its a mip issue? If I find a solution in the meantime I'll post it here. :)

This is a great aircraft!
