New Comet is out

[Garry Russell]

Hi Dave

Welcome to the forum

One thing you best try is removing the old pane first rather than overwriting.

Hi Dave,

You say you've downloaded the new panel, butyou'll need the new aircraft to go with it. To the best of my knowledge they are not interchangable out of the box.

Also as Garry says, you should delete the old Comet files first.... including the comet folders within the DMFS Shared Files folder.

Hope this helps.

Having now flown several test flights in the new Comet, I have to say it's a very impressive piece of work and I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of thanks. I certainly haven't seen a better, or more flyable, VC, and that's from a 2D man. I may almost become a convert. The VC also gives a flavour of just how intimate it must have been in the cockpit. One can only hope the FE remembered to pack his deoderant (or whatever they used back then)!

Thanks, David, for another great job.

Regards,
Andrew

Not taking all the downloads that you need is an easy mistake. The separate download files give the wrong impression that the bits may be optional.
The reason for splitting it up like I do is only to make it easier for me to maintain.
Panel, Models, Textures, Sounds all have a relationship & sometimes they can't be mixed and matched without editing stuff.
You can overwrite old Comets without any problems, but it can be less confusing to delete them first.

Thanks for the kind words.

Quality once again.

I love the VC, the 2D panel improvements, and the way it handles.

For those having the screech and crash from the sound through the Audigy ZS card; I got around it by using the 'KX Project' alternative drivers, they are good and can be found easily enough on a google search. Up to version 5.10 now I think. They also work with the BAC 1-11.
It's a strange problem that only happens with the Audigy ZS for some reason - I could never get to the bottom of it and creative labs certainly never solved it - strange how ordinary wave files should crash the machine, but with creative's drivers they do!

I think the Audiy ZS was the worst card they ever made - I have now ditched that piece of doo-doo for a X-fi - no problems anymore!

Thanks David! I will send you something by paypay for sharing your piece of art.

David,

Thank you again for another truly magnificent masterpiece. I took her up for what was supposed to be a short flight and got so engrossed with it I landed 3 hours later!! CHEERS CHEERS

really really nice, a beauty to hand fly. A very convicing VC indeed.
