IRIS christen eagle FDE problems ??

Strange to see this still causing issues... The IRIS Eagle doesn't need re-configuring.

The supersonic tip sound is audible in normal exterior view 8 degrees either side of the prop disc. You can even edit that in the sound.cfg to a wider angle. It would sound awful, but then hey, you want to hear the supersonic sound from odd angles, then hey, feel free :engel016:

You can even make it audible from the inside - OK, it would be wrong, but then again... if you want it that way, go ahead.

The sounds in the demo films are pretty good and fairly realistic. Go to youtube and watch the aerobatic videos taken from the ground of a real Eagle - you'll hear the same. No, I shan't post a link - there's enough to be found.

Loop? Anything above 138 Kts straight and level and she'll go over the top quite nicely - even with pax.

Remove the gal and the luggage, defuel to display weight (50% ish fuel) and the darn thing will sit up and beg, roll over, point, speak, fetch... and just about do anything an aerobatic plane should do. Go for the 320 HP version and you'll even get pretty damn good Lomcevoks out of the beast.

All straight out of the box. No tweaking and on an older PC. 60+ FPS in a clean install FSX to SP2, 25 plus with about 200GB of addons (all sliders high to max). If you want to fly aeros, then all you need do is pull back the sliders. In my "full" FSX config with all the sceneries, she'll produce 40+ FPS with the sliders predominantly left and no traffic.

My PC is based on a three and a half y.o. AMD FX62 chip / nVidia 8800 GTS on two monitors (24" and 19")

I expect that next year's sim aerobatic world champs will go to an Iris Eagle. Hell, even I can do great eight pointers in her, just guess what a good peelow will do?
 
Thank you for your input, this may help Iris to troubleshoot the problem. Would like to keep this plane but not paying $35 us for something less than advertised. Thanks again.
 
Hmmm, with 4.3 GHz and those peripherals, you'll be cooking!

I am only on 2.8 GHz and only 4 GB DDR2 800 GHz RAM

If folk are getting less than advertised I will seriously dare you to check your computers and installed software. Sorry, this is one time I must support the claims and say the plane performs as described.
 
My pc specs

Mushkin 580 watt quad rail power supply, RaidMax Smilodon case with 3 fans
WD Veloraptor drive 150gb for FSX alone. 2 Seagate 160gb and one 320gb drive
WinXP Pro Sp3
Win XP 64
The raptor drive is accesible to both 32 bit sytem and 64 bit system. Only thing on 64 bit system is the operation system. Both fly about the same. Fsx, fex, gex, fsgenisi mesh and landclass. Runs fsx great. locked framesat 50 most sliders full left, except traffic, at 54 percent. Frames depending on scenery type, photo or default runs from 32 to 50, used Nick Needhams setup for fsx and windows.Using Nhancer. Took Ted's advice to get Raptor and 260 gtx video card, excellent advice by the way. I checked another site that sells this and it alluded to a patch in the install location... this form flightsimstore.com........If you are running SP1 or SP2, a patch in your Microsoft Flight Simulator X/IRIS Pro Series folder is required to be run AFTER installing this product. sent this to tech support
 
dell dimension 2400
2.8 ghz p4
2G ram
nvidea geforce fx5500 (pci slot)
on-board sound
17" monitor
no tweaks or overclocking

and it's still flyable for me. maybe not as smooth as default, but if i can fly it anyone should be able to.
 
I'm still not sure exactly what is going wrong for you, dharris, but cbris about sums it up.
 
Cbris, was able to get the sonic sound finally on one flight. Just outside the prop arc. Flew for about five minutes this way, tumbling, looping, whatever. All files must be installed in this case. I was wondering about your comment early on....Strange to see this still causing issues... The IRIS Eagle doesn't need re-configuring.

The supersonic tip sound is audible in normal exterior view 8 degrees either side of the prop disc. You can even edit that in the sound.cfg to a wider angle. It would sound awful, but then hey, you want to hear the supersonic sound from odd angles, then hey, feel free :engel016:and was wondering if you had the time if you could tell me what to change in order to increase the angle. I have tried twice more to get the sound back, but only get it occasionally. Also found that by moving throlle to idle and back to full stop, engine will now rev the way it was supposed to. Thank you
 
Sorry that you had to worry about my comments there dharris, but I have had the IRIS Eagle on for a fair few months now - through several alpha and beta versions too. Never once had any of the problems you described. Nor did other beta testers.

There are other issues though and maybe if you'd raised these...

But then again, these are known and will be addressed at a later date I am sure.

Just fly and enjoy - she really is great fun!
 
I got a little help on iris forum and downloaded a sound cfg that widens the sound feild some. Will work with this until the other issues are fixed. Thank you for your time and comments.

The IRIS Christen Eagles are by far the most fun aircraft in my hanger. Running quite well on my lil' system, actually.
