Re: Simshed Tutor FSX!

Very nice modelling, but for me I cannot get it to perform as per spec, nor get the RPM below 2000!
Be interested to know if anyone else has same problem. I d/led from The Pond.

Re: Skype

Can also be a great time waster! But very useful for also talking as well as making file transfers ( picture, text files etc) at the same time. If video gets 'clunky' because of a poor broadband link or busy lines then just use for sound or just instant messaging thro the key board. I only use for '...

Re: FSX Meteor F8 released

Dave, Thanks for the explanation, it also helps explain why some other FSX Acceleration kites work in SP2. I will now try & go to sleep on this subject, being really only a FS9 man with FSX lookins now & again....

Re: FSX Meteor F8 released

SkippyBing, thanks for the comment re Microsoft copyright, but this .dll seems to be needed because Rob has used the F18 HUD as his base model in making his instruments. I will be able to comment further when my requested acceleration update disc arrives from Amazon! Airboatr: I think the Meteor air...

Re: FSX Meteor F8 released

Forget the Machmeter it does not seem to be calibrated correctly & is not reading the equivalent of the airspeed. The ASI shows the correct speed when cross referenced to the Shift+Z reading at the top of the screen. As for ground instability cannot comment as have not tried that yet! I find tha...

Re: FSX Meteor F8 released

The F18.dll also sorts out the lack of RPM etc in the Sea Hornet & Hornet. The Meteor F8 alternative cfg & air files are better for performance, no doubt because the thrust multiplier has changed from 1.3 down to 1.0! Not sure what else has changed at the mo. I gather that Acceleration has t...

Re: FSX Meteor F8 released

Thanks to Rich & DaveB I now have the .dll that makes the instruments read in SP2. Thanks Guys! I shall now try the alternative .cfg & .air files to see if performance improves. A few weeks from now I hope to have the Acceleration update in my hot & stickies to see what that then does! K...

Re: FSX Meteor F8 released

Rich, thanks for the above, but no, I have not changed anything - its just as it came out of the box. Interesting that you can repeat it though. Maybe I need to place things ( files) differently in other folders for example......will investigate further later, need to get on with kitchen mods....SWM...
