    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.

H all,

I have just installed JoinFS for use of the recorder function (as I couldn't get FSRecorder to work and gave up in the end) and I noticed that the other aircraft that I'm flying with disappears at about a half mile which is quite inconvenient. Is it possible to extend this so I can see the other aircraft from say 3 or 4 miles? I'm using FSX SE.

Regards
Dale
 
Dale,

Under the [SCENERY] section of your FSX SE CFG file, set SmallPartRejectRadius=1.0.

(I'm using FSX SE, and that is the number I have had to use for AI aircraft to remain visible at sensible distances, and not disappear).

From what I remember, this setting seems to vary in the different versions of FSX, so can be an issue if you use the same number when you go over to a different version.

As for FSRecorder, version 1.331 works with the SE edition, although there are some issues, but it does the job.

And don't forget to install the legacy SimConnect files so it (and other addons that use it), will work.

(They are located in the Core Utilities Kit folder inside the SDK folder which is located in the main FSX SE directory).

Cheers

Paul
 
Thanks for that,

i went into my to my cog and that line wasn't even there under the scenery section and it wasn't even in the file all together. I added it and it hasn't increased the viewing distance :-(

also so with regards to FSRecorder I tried all of that and still nothing.

Regards
Dale
