FSD Commander

.... is a disgrace. I thought I would give myself something different to fly on Xmas day and had an install prob and also found that the VC is terrible, preset view is wrongly placed and the wing tips are not smooth.


Edit - Also strobe lights dont work from VC switch.

And there prop texture appears to have something missing.

And the peddals are crossed - left foot is always for left rudder.

Shame on you FSD - I expect better from you guys considering how good your other products have been.
 
Yep I did the same thing,I,m disapointed with the vc also,very low detail,not sharp,but it,s hard on frames on my system,Alphas T34 is better detailed and gets good frames.I dont get it.
 
Agreed Thoe - Alphasim are now in a new league whilst other producers are letting standards slip. My FPS is hardly creping above 10 at best compared to 30 with most other products.

I have also discovered that I I cannot switch on the nav boxes and GPS from the VC - had to go to the 2D pop up. Very dissapointing for what is supposed to be a new FSX product.

I hate to keep flying it as who knows what else we can find.
 
I'm not keen on the textures of the VC, but have been able to turn on the nav boxes and GPS with no problems at all.
 
Now having trouble with vc night lighting.

I give up - im saying no more as I am in a really good mood on Xmas day.

Off to have a drink and fly the gladiator after getting rid of the mother in law:costumes:

Yep Christmas,we have to stay happy,I just got done with a flight in Piglets new 200D.Nice little plane.
 
I agree with all of these issues. Was looking forward to FSD doing Full FSX SP2 Compatible aircraft but this effort is not the quality of any of their previous work.
 
Hello

I disagree

I own many FSD ,F1,DF,Eaglesoft,Carenado products

On my FSX setup it is not bad better then the F1 112 not as good as Carenado but OK(Windows XP,Nvidia8800GTX)

And you always if you system is strong enough can increase VC resolution (950-->2048)

Godspeed

I did my rant in the release thread, so I'll not repeat it here.

First time I've deleted a payware plane the day after I bought it, though.

cheers,

Guys:

I am sorry you are having issues with the C115, but have you taken a time to read the POH? Also the Radio knobs as well as other work in a combination of right and left mouse clicks.

Please post your observations at our site and I will see what we can do to address all issues with an update.

Best

Even 45 million dollar new aircraft soon have a lengthy list of "squawks" during the first few weeks after their delivery...

...so why expect a sub-fifty dolllar simulator aircraft to be completely free of teething issues? :icon_lol:

From years of experience I've learned that -after having worked on any given project for a long time- it becomes increasingly difficult to notice things that to "fresh eyes" are immediately obvious (such as cross-linked rudder pedals)... :isadizzy:

...other reported issues, such as ADF tuning for example, may well turn out to be cockpit error, typically caused by a failure to read and/or follow the operating manual, or they might actually be mousepoint problems. :redf::

Give the nice folks at FSD sufficient time to identify and fix any real problems... I'm certain they'd appreciate that consideration. :ernae:
 
Hi Jim

Can you fix the model around the doors please as they are not flush.

As a modellor, door issues are hurrendously difficult. Sometimes they smooth perfectly after being cut, sometimes because of their locations, they will just not sit right as a blending surface with the fuselage.

Also, most aircraft cuts, at certain angles with light shading just right, can make them look horrible. That can be the conditions of the sim, lighting, etc, not so much the model.



I get so many complaints on my planes because of my Strobes. :d I use that circuit for other things, so I wire in my strobes to the nav lights. People really hate that. I may stop doing it because of the complaints, but its the way I make my birds. (I like being able to turn on the dome light with a simple keyboard key stroke. Strobes have 'O' (oh) key, so I used that circuit to have a seperate dome light, then instrumentation on the Nav circuit. Works great till some people freak because they turn on strobes and get a dome light instead. :kilroy: ).

I am certain that many things will be looked at concerning the Commander, but please have a bit of patience as some members are taking time off as it is the Holiday season...I'm sure Jim has something in mind.

It really would be helpful to us if you could please contact us through our support forum about your problems.

I'm trying to be sympathetic on this one, but I was just shocked when I loaded it up and saw so many operational issues, Robert. Then I see some posts from guys involved in the project with the usual "read the manual" stuff. Ok, I had already tried that, but the airplane manual shows links to the radio manuals that are dead. I've tried left click, right click, different mouse points, mouse wheel and I'm out of ideas and patience. When I get in a plane and try tuning the ADF and watch the #2 comm change frequencies at the same time, cannot get the autopilot to track a heading bug, watch the flight director v bars flying all over the attitude indicator, and then make FSX CTD when I try to end a flight, well. . . .I dunno. I understand a few minor issues, but this one seems so far away from being useable I've got no desire to register at another forum, wait for an activation, and then spend hours of my time helping to fix something that shouldn't have been released too early to get our before Christmas.

Like most of us, I've got a limited amount of time to enjoy flying FSX. Why not fly something that works properly?

Most of my posts are positive ones and I hate to be negative, but this plane and another I recently purchased have been a waste of around $70 USD to me. Nobody makes me buy anything, so it's my fault and I'll admit that, but in the future, I'm going to be much more selective about the developers I do business with. Again, sorry for the negative post.

cheers,
steve :wavey:
 
Wing tip roundness and wierd under wing shading corrected, I and Robert will be working together to see what we can do about door shading.

In the mean time before we get chastized please read the documents included.... some of the knobs and switches work with a combination of left and right mouse clicks. Instrument lighting is controlled by two knobs at lower right and left of pilot yoke.

Flood lighting switch is also located under the pilot yoke along the row of switches.

Sorry for the slight hijack, but if, for instance, someone is using FSPassengers, setting up the lights the way you do makes the aircraft very difficult to operate... You'll lose points for every flight if you have the dome light on when you are on the stand (operating the strobes on the apron) and if you don't have the done light on when you take off, you'll lose points for taking off without strobes. ;)

Obviously, that can be worked around by using the lights as you have set them up, but I can see why some people might not appreciate it.

Cheers,

Ian P.
