P3D/P4D screenshots redux...oops!

[AussieMan]

Matt, FCS produced a paint kit for the Lancaster. Have it in my repainting folder.

The FCS Fury is a straight out point and install.
No drama about repaints Matt, considering their age they stand up pretty well and were never meant for anything other than FS9 and FSX for starters.
Wishful thinking on my part, although do I have repaints for the Tempest and Lanc which are decent quality.

These screenshots of yours, Wombat are giving me confidence to make the move, as for me "two wings are invariably better than one"

Resistance is futile Roger.
Testing the A20 reveals a problematic glitch in the glazing, but I (just me, myself) can live with that until a solution turns up.

Beating up 'The Alice'.

Not so sure if that blue glass is a model problem. Having the P3Dv4 dynamic reflections enabled is notorious for messing up glass/bare metal colours, it adds an ugly green/blue hue.
You can move the dynamic reflections slider to the "off" position, it is under Options > Graphics > Lighting. A secondary bonus is it will make the sim less demanding on the GPU as well.

No Pat that was created by a member who posted in the fsx forums, afer he apint George and was [bombard with requests so he posted his own paintkit for people to make their own

Old alphasim Dan was the guy behind FCS and I have spoken to many times regarding the lack of paint kits

Thanks for the suggestion, I can certainly give it a tweak and report back.

For visceral flying, with a barely tamed Merlin... it's still hard to beat Rob & Sean's creation. I still tremble on final... all these years later... ta RA!

It is so hard to believe this beauty was designed for FS2004 and then moved up to FSX. She still dances delightfully on the controls, growls bestially with boost and allows me to melt the day away by flinging my eager craft through the footless halls of air, and allows me to reach out and touch the face of God.

BZ RealAir- you still are the bees knees, decades later

Best- C

PS- Many thanks to Nick Cooper for writing that she works in P3D- I remain obliged mate.

Windy, overcast afternoon at 29 Palms

That worked!

The B26 project is another install straight into P3D4.1.
Works better than I expected.
Runs around 60FPS in this fairly bland setting but seems to hold respectable rates over more dense environments.
Kudos to Milton and the team!

In a way, Carl, you can thank yours truly for that.. ;-)

You might remember that around the time before the RA iteration a few Spitfires were available but non of 'em of full blown all singing and dancing stature. As Rob (Young) and i were colleagues in the Maam-Sim residence and i have always been a Spitfire fan (i'd almost say, in aviation hobby circles, who's not... ) i often thought about the idea of RealAir doing a Spitfire. So one day, when i thought the time was right and just for the heck of it, i told Rob about my idea. Initially Rob bounced the idea off the table. RealAir being a strictly GA aircraft developer he saw no point in producing a militairy aircraft, not even a vintage and famous one like the Spitfire. Of course that was what i expected but i still wanted to give it a try. So now i did and it failed. Bummer.

Low and Behold, a few days later Rob emailed me that he talked my idea of a RA Spitfire over with Sean anyway and they came to the conclusion that it was not such a bad idea afterall. The rest is history.

cheers,
jan

[Navy Chief]

That worked!

Thanks for the tip about turning off Dynamic Reflections. I will try that. NC

A Foggy Day in London Town...

Overcast at 1500 and passing rain showers reminded me to say, "Goodbye Mickey Mouse!" Not a P-51 but a Merlin/Griffon nonetheless. Splendid for raising the pulse for an hour all these years later.

Never did I concentrate more on two little triangles of concrete

Jan-

Never in the field of flight simulation, have so many, owed so much, to so few! For this, the VVC and so much more, I remain obliged.

Foggy NoCal morning, Half Moon Bay

 

[Manschy]

Now finally got my carriers into P3Dv4. Everything seems to work fine, except for the ships wakes.
Here some dusk impressions on the USS Eisenhower... Even the Flight Deck Crew seem to enjoy the few moments off

 

[cavaricooper]

Very nice... if I squint just right, I can pretend those are F-14s and hear “Highway to the Danger Zone” playing. Great lighting!
