Re: Newbie help requested for Viscount & HS748

Never mind Dave thanks for looking, much appreciated. I'm very late to the party with FSX & can't expect stuff from 10 years ago to be still around. I've been through 2 laptops & inadvertantly wiped HDD's in that time ! Although I had FS9 on a laptop I've only put effort into simming in the ...

Re: Newbie help requested for Viscount & HS748

My version is VC810 for FSX which I dl'd from the library here. I'm running FSX SP2 on win 10. I suspect there may be files in the 800 or 700 which may have been omitted from the 810 so I'll grab the lot & compare files to see if I can spot what's missing. I intended doing that all along but bei...

Re: Newbie help requested for Viscount & HS748

Great Dale, that's helpful. At least the problem is confirmed which is half the solution, so rather than run about on a wild goose chase I now know it's solvable. Might be a while before I can apply it because I'm currently trying to get my poor head around BAE146 FMC & what I need to fly realis...

Re: Newbie help requested for Viscount & HS748

Thx Dale, I had a feeling I needed to swap panels & textures around. I'll dl the Rikooo version & try that. BTW the link to DaveG's fix is now dead. Come to think of it you're right about it being linked to lights. It only happens if any light is switched on & that includes beacon.Strang...

Re: Newbie help requested for Viscount & HS748

I've started Viscount engines & the stairs didn't disappear, in fact the only way I can fly it at the moment is with doors open & stairs dangling !
The clue must be in the screenshot I showed of the preview page in FSX . It's the only aircraft with open doors & stairs out on that page.

Re: Newbie help requested for Viscount & HS748

Ben, memory not so good these days. I think I originally dl'd 748 from Rikooo but couldn't get it to run properly so uninstalled & then found CBFS from where I dl'd HS7V6.FSX. The instrument panel at night has one gauge with lighting misaligned but that's explained in the readme & I can live...

Newbie help requested for Viscount & HS748

Hi all, I hope asking on two aircraft in one post isn't breaking any board protocol & I should explain that I'm a user with no technical knowledge of simming other than what I've gathered from using FSX. I'd also like to explain that the aircraft I fly have some personal nostalgic connection. Yo...

Re: Did anyone ever buy the Aeroplane Heaven Lancaster ?

Hi Ben, best fps I've ever had is just now at a momentary 20 but mostly 18 over vanilla scenery. In DX10 preview it works way better but bits of scenery become grey boxes. So as said earlier Steves fixer might do the trick.

Re: Did anyone ever buy the Aeroplane Heaven Lancaster ?

Having done a few tweaks to FSX & increasing VAS, thought I'd try the Lanc again. Same result as last time, terrible frame rates. OK sure Duxford eats a few but as low as 5 ? Away from the airport max fps 18-20. I appreciate that GTX1060 isn't the best but as said my other planes work well with ...

Re: Did anyone ever buy the Aeroplane Heaven Lancaster ?

Yes I did, principally because my father flew one. Unfortunately, I still can't run it the way I'd like. My preference with FSX is to run 3 monitors & Justflight aircraft will not run without stutters, screen tearing & abominable framerates. My system is windows 10 with Intel i8 3gb Gtx 1060...
