Just Flight Tristar Release - March 27th

Hi Martyn,

Can i please ask what's up with the Specular Lighting ? As far as i can see no Specular map has been added to the fuselage textures and for the wing textures it is way too much. Airliners should be gleaming in the sun but the L1011 looks dull despite the Reflectivity mapping. The designer seems to have added Specular only to the aft nacelles plating and horizontal surfaces.

The VC is nice but turns very dark when flying into the sun. Cockpit lighting looks great but doesn't work during the day.

Nice model, great sounds ! :applause:

cheers,
jan
 
Money well spent..

Fantastic flight dynamics and a joy to fly..
The owners manual is a masterpiece,well written and easy to follow!!
Has a great tutorial using the Inertial Navigation unit and a preset flight plan

Just Flight , keep cranking these beauties out and I will continue to spend money here
Great Company, great products and excellent support

I hate to be a pain, but can i ask who did the model and fde, there are a few developers i wont touch,

im interest in getting a tristar but i would like to know a little more about the background on this one
 
Jeansy - this one was modelled ourselves. It's an in-house Just Flight product.

Rick - thanks for the kind words. Glad you are enjoying.
 
Would someone please post a few VC shots from there computer please. No offense to JF, I need to see a few independent shots, to make sure it's VC isnt like the BB737 I bought thru JF.

Just buy it
Great aircraft
 
Yet another superb aircraft from the Just Flight team - thanks for your hard work putting this girl together! Now I just have to tame her :icon_lol:

For me, there's enough to do in the left seat without spending half an hour on the ground in pre-flight or seven hours in transit... Personally I prefer to get airborne and enjoy flying from the VC rather than from the cabin.

Frame rates are excellent on my dated i7 920 rig, it's easy to navigate through the panel configurations. Animations, model, paintwork and fde are lovely as far as I can tell, refueling system on the tankers is brilliant and as Rick said the manual is second to none.

If I could be picky... It'd be a bonus to see the refueling drogue extend / retract in peer to peer, but I understand that the drogue animation would have to be assigned to an event that is shared over a peer to peer session... Shame.

Yes, there could be more variants included in this release, extra systems could have been included - why hasn't the 'foot warmer' switch been animated and heater blower sound added? Why wasn't the 'Stargazer' model with Pegasus rocket included? Well, I guess because the buck had to stop somewhere, the download didn't need to 'go large' and the framerates for some of us would turn our flying experience into a slideshow...

Get out and buy this one folks, she's a big girl to handle but an absolute dream to fly. How about a yellow Court Line repaint... Those were the days :wiggle:

Dave.

We are currently working to address this issue with the demo. Apologies for the inconvenience!
 
Thanks.

Please advise.

Best regards,

PS/OT - I looked for a demo of the BAE 146 - assuming there is none?
