IRIS DA-42... a blast!

Well I've e-mailed our sales partners so Flightsimstore, Simmarket and FS Pilot Shop should have the DA-42 sometime today.. ;)

I've just put the new IRIS website back online. Still a fair way to go with some stuff, but having an online presence again is a big plus for us.

www.irissimulations.com (in case you forgot..lol)
 
RELEASED at the Flightsim store!

Gonna go grab mine. :ernae:

*EDIT* On second thought, I think I might wait for the FS Pilot Shop since you can re-download any time (IIRC).
 
Got mine over at Simmarket; it's even on sale at the moment!

It's a nice model, with plenty of variations. The framerate is good, probably the best I've seen in any glass panel aircraft so far. There's an ugly low-poly passenger in the back but you can remove it by removing the weight in the fuel & payload menu.

Few shots from the first short flight:

Tx for the screen Ferry - downloading at the moment - those were good VC shots :salute:

I hope that there is a repaint pack :jump:
 
Iris DA-42

Great Bird 2 hour flight was great, G1000 worked fine
I have been waiting for Eaglesoft version for 2 years, if they patch it to use the Reality XP panels it would be great
 
Hi

What an excellent product - well done Iris team. :ernae:

Its great that your MFDs have little impact on my FPS in the VC (unlike other producers products) but my fear that the working MFDs seen from the spot view were right. If I have them switched on I get a FPS of 10 -12 - switch them off and it jumps back into the 25+ range.

I hope to get a new pc soon but meanwhile can you tell me of a way of disabling the movement in the spot view?
 
Unfortunately there is no way of disabling them in the spot view, without removing them from the VC. I'd have to remove them from the source and recompile the models.. not a huge issue, but one that'd have to go into a service pack if it was deemed necessary....say if we do a version for Reality XP owners.. ;)
 
Hi

As they work fantastically well in the VC - I can wait until you make any change or until I get the new PC.

Thanks again for a great product. :salute:

Regards

GJ
 
Got mine, looks great (specially like the Airborne Sensing version).
Paintkit is welcome, gonna make a fictious RNLAF version soon.

(Perhaps something in black and yellow for the EMVO too?)

Expect that one as well!

David, i think your team has done an excellent job here! What a bird!:salute:

Just one Q; how to get rid of that silly note :bump:
 
It's a good note... mainly because you'd be suprised at the amount of people who e-mail me asking what version they have! lol. To edit the note, just alter the 'dash_pic.dds' file in the texture.vc folder (I think it's the texture.vc folder! or texture.common)

On a side note, what's the interest in a analog cockpit version? 'completely fictional' of course, but I can do it in a style that fits and it may improve performance.

Also for those who have asked for reality XP stuff, after browsing their site I can't see G1000's there..am I looking in the wrong place, or what reality XP stuff would you like to see?

I dicided I'd have to pass on this one, 'cos it's not quite 'my cup of tea'. However, with an anologue cockpit, i'm affraid i'd just HAVE to buy it:jump:

Each to their own.. :) That's not the market we were aiming for. Our DA-42 is aimed I'd say more at the casual flyer. The Eaglesoft one as far as I know will use some special aftermarket G1000 which we were looking into a while back, however the licence cost was way to high for our project budget, so if you're after better avionics I'd possibly wait for that one..

Either that or I could consider modding the DA-42 to include reality xp gauges if users have already purchased the gauges... I can't imagine it's a huge task.. :)

Lots of options.. ;)

Actually the Eaglesoft DA42 Twin Star includes an Eaglesoft accurate representation of the real DA42 Version of Garmins G1000. It also includes the option for users to seamlessly "drop in" the Mindstar Aviation DA42 G1000 if owners of that product wish to so.:wavey:

We have no intention of using RXP Gauges since they do not have a G1000...:salute:
 
I'm thinking he meant use the RXP GNS430W's in place of your gauges. That's what I did with my copy of your G3 Turbo - put dual GNS430W's in!
