I've not noticed something like that yet, even when I ran it on my old system with a Intel Q6600 / NV GTX 460 a month ago, so it can't be a real performance issue.
Is this accompanied by hard disk accesses (LED blinking)?

Cheers,
Mark

Finally got time to go back and look at this. No, not HDD access timing. But I pulled all the sliders down to the mid point and it went away.

I put the sliders back to full right, but set the frame rate limit to 32 fps. that seems to help.
 
Airfields

I only have 14 airstrips showing up in the"select airport" box in FSX. I have re- downloaded and re-installed . same thing. HELP!!

Thanks

Sam
 
Argh. I can't wait until I have my computer built properly. Working with this old workhorse is killing me. I truly want to try this, and many other addons I have missed out on.
 
I am really enjoying this scenery, thanks to all involved so far.:salute::salute::salute:

The aircraft I am using are the AF F4u Corsair, Paul's "Bad Duck" and the CAC Boomerang,
they all fit well with this scenery and also I have installed Captain Sim Weapons for FSX.

I will try and upload some photo's over the weekend.

@ Bruce: interesting note about the weapons pack. Does it work with the scenery?


A second update is out soon.
I'm reworking the Russell Islands (codename "Knucklehead") now with making all airfields photoreal and started with the Pavuvu Cub strip as it was in 1943. Bob Hope had one of his shows here and flew in with a L-4.
There's not much else that can land on this short and a bit dangerous dirt strip than a L-4. Ideal terrain for Mike's version of it.

Ahh, by the way, the latest download links for the scenery are in my signature!

Hi roger-wilco-66,

Have tried guns and rockets so far, they rockets explode when they hit the ground scenery
or anything else but you won't see ships or boats sinking as a result. The guns are the same,
you can see splashes in the water or impact on land. I think you will be able to shoot down
A1 aircraft with guns, rockets as you can in default FSX.

I will try a few more flights and let you know how it goes.

I think I'll have a look into that. Sounds interesting. Can you see land scenery objects explode when you hit them, like houses or vehicles? Does CS-WP have dumb bombs and torpedos?
Technically, static scenery like ships or others could be difficult to alter in sceneries, because the weapon application must change the scenery on the fly. In order to show weapon effects on scenery objects they must be exchanged. That's why many of the scenery objects in Solomon 1943 have damaged counterparts in the libraries. I left that possibility open for future developments.

AI is something else, another layer in the system and dynamic by nature.

Interesting question, though.

Cheers,
Mark

Mark you see the explosion but buildings and scenery are not affected. A1 aircraft explode and vanish which looks great.

select airport

Mark, love your scenery and thanks for your work in putting this together I am still not able to access all the 1943 Solomon airfields in "select airport" box in FSX. Never had this problem in V.1. Seems like 1st half of your airport list is not showing up in box eg. Munda, Henderson, Rennell, Segi, Buka, Ballale etc. Even typing in airport name or ID does not work.

Any ideas any one?

Thanks

Sam

They all show up for me in the select airport list:
Munda - AGGM
Henderson - AGGH
Rennell - AGGR
Seghe - AGGS
Buka - AYBK
Ballale - AGGE

You must have something wrong on your install. Best regards, Bob.
 
Hi,

I checked and they are all there. Note: all Airports with the "State/Province" entry "Solomon 1943" are additions to the default scenery. Not all airfields in the list are visible in the scenery. If they were not active in 1943, I made them dissapear. A complete list is in the projects documentation.

Cheers,
Mark

hey mark??
Somewhere down the road, could you add some sea ports like at Hull island?? Or, can someone?? Would be nice to have my boat in the water instead of skewing.. :)..
Thanks..
Pam



 
Hull Island, is this at Kiribati?

I could, but it would have to wait until the Russell airfields are done.



Cheers,
Mark

How do like the boat, Pam? I'm teetering on the edge of getting it.
