Graphic Realism and FSX Optimization

File Description:
The add-ons configuration step by step Not configured FSX is a pain in the neck for many people. A small number of fps and frequent CTD (crash to desktop) can be extremely annoying or even depressing to some users. A lot of you probably came to a conclusion that it was going to be a losing battle and you gave up after a few fruitless days or you spent money on the FSPS-XTREME FSX PC V2 program, which can automatically do practically everything for us. But what's the point of spending money on something that we can do by ourselves with the help of this handbook? I myself was dealing with the FSX platform three times before I gave up FS9. Microsoft gave out the engine to us, but in order to make sense, our passion involves radical tuning of the device. On the ground of one's own experience and thousands of hours devoted by people to diving into the core of the platform, I'll present a way of installation, add-ons selection and their configuration starting from the installation of the system. Having done the procedures described below, FSX will look beautiful and it'll work smoothly even with challenging sceneries. The entirety is based on quite a popular hardware configuration, which will let us use 85% of the graphic potential of Microsoft Flight Simulator X. We want t to achieve the goal of minimum 25 fps in VC B738 PMDG NGX, with challenging sceneries, flying in the window mode. For the mode the full screen efficiency should reach 33 fps. In this handbook, I'm neither going to describe each and every change made in cfg nor explain what the alterations are to conduce. You will be given a simple and ready recipe which I use myself. I can't guarantee a 100% satisfaction for the poorer equipment computers. I can assure you, however, that FSX will definitely work so much better and playing with FSX sliders or with the size of textures in REX you will be able to obtain the desired effect.

Nome PAOM on the northwestern coast of Alaska

• Nome_PAOM_on_the_northwestern_coast_of_Alaska_5.jpg

File Description:
There are four main northwestern Alaska towns which have good airports and are serviced by Alaska Airlines. From these airports local flights connect to nearby villages, "nearby" in Alaska meaning up to 200 miles away. The northernmost is Barrow. Southwest of Barrow is Kotzebue, then Nome, and the furthest south is Bethel. The town of Nome is south of the Bering Strait on the southern coast of the Seward Peninsula, around 185 miles south of Kotzebue, with a population of about 3,800. It is the town that led to the creation of the most famous dogsledge race in the world, the Iditarod, which is based on the delivery to Nome of diphtheria serum during the blizzard conditions of the winter of 1925. The Nome airport (it currently has no other name) was originally built as the last of the refuelling airfields for planes being ferried to Russia during WW2. It has two runways, aligned 09-27 and 02-20 in FS9 (the wandering magnetic north has recently renamed the magnetic headings) and both of them around 6,000 feet with an ILS on 27. There is a modern airport layout diagram included showing taxiway names etc. Alaska Airlines, ERA, and Bering Air (which is headquartered in Nome), along with the shared cargo terminal for Northern Air Cargo and Everts Air, are all on the southern apron. The northern apron is mainly for GA, along with maintenance facilities, a garage building that also houses a weather bureau, and at the far northern end of runway 02-20 an apron and hanger for the Alaska Air National Guard. All AI aircraft in FS9 much prefer to use a runway that has an ILS and so will continue to use 09-27 even if the wind is from the north or south, right up until it reaches 30+ knots, so for AI realism in FS9 a permanent wind from the west would be the most realistic on a daily basis. There is also a small gravel strip just north of the town and this is included (94Z), as are some old line-of-sight radio communication reflectors on the hills above the town. There is a note about making adjustments to Ultimate Terrain Alaska-Canada regarding both realistic road lighting and also auto-generation.

Aerostar S700 'Spirit of Kai Tak'

File Description:
The Aerostar Super 700 is the World's fastest piston twin aircraft. The "Spirit of Kai Tak" competed in and won the London to Sydney Air Race in March/April 2001. This FS2000 & FS2002 only computer model performs similar to the real aircraft and also has a custom cockpit panel which I have designed (thanks to Harald Scheidl for the Yoke gauge, which I have modified for the Aerostar Yoke). I designed the panel using CFG Edit and the aircraft using Abacus FS Design Studio Pro and Aircraft Animator. There are many animated parts, including a steerable nose wheel, spoilers and it also has an illuminating landing light beam. Also included is a very good Piper 350 engine sound package (Author Unknown).

TBM 700 Smooth Throttle Modification

File Description:
The files in this package will modify the beautiful EADS Socata TBM 700 model by Michel Migaud, Cyril Breton etc. Their model is freeware and is probably one of the nicest freeware models ever made for MSFS. This package is not a stand-alone aircraft, so you need the original TBM 700 model. It's available at Avsim.com and the file name is tbm700_a.zip. This is mainly a fix for the 'ketchup bottle' throttle problem, but includes a few other fixes as well. Summary: (1) A fix for the 'ketchup bottle' throttle problem. (2) Torque gauge doesn't max out (3) No blackout when toggling panel on/off. (4) Horizon visible by default. (5) Missing rear navigation lights added (lights mod by Cirrus Productions, used with their permission).

Military-Package Version 01

File Description:
The package includes five types of effects with xml-gauges ("afterburner", "engin-flame", "wing-contrail", "flap-contrail" and "engin-smoke"), and four types of xml-gauge_Switch ("afterburner", tailhook", "canopy open" and "spoiler" ). Not just the afterburner's xml-gauge, but also an effect appearance and a key operation of the afterburner are automatically controlled, by a throttle operation.This means to enhance reality when you use an aircraft which is designed to consider changes in fuel consuming by using the afterburner. Also, When a cruiseing speed becomes less than 200knot while flying higher than FL320, the afterburner will be unable to used(automatically turned off). All effects automatically appear,You don't have to press any key. You can experience more real flight.

F1 View Module

File Description:
The F1_View module is a very basic tool that implements mouse-based zooming, panning, and eyepoint adjustments, including the ability to move your eyepoint beyond the limits imposed by Flight Simulator (this feature is good to stroll about virtual cabins of larger aircraft). This module requires a wheel-mouse (a center wheel that also acts as a center mouse button). /QUOTE This application is provided for free by Flight1 and can even be placed on your own website for download providing you follow the guide lines set down in the agreement. For those who are interested, you can find it HERE http://atr.flight1.net/ , look under: Quick Links to our ATR Project Areas... • Accessory Downloads which can be found about half way down the page you are initially viewing. and a bit more info from the readme: Modes of Operation: Rolling the mouse wheel forward means rolling the wheel away from the user. Rolling the mouse wheel backward means rolling the wheel towards the user. Virtual-cockpit: Wheel forward moves you forward and wheel backward moves you back. CTRL+forward moves right and CTRL+backward moves left. SHIFT+forward moves up and SHIFT+backward moves down. CTRL+SHIFT+forward zooms out and CTRL+SHIFT+backward zooms in. While in Pan Mode (when mouse wheel is pressed and held down) inside the Virtual Cockpit: Moving the mouse to the left rotates the view to the left. Moving the mouse to the right rotates the view to the right. Moving the mouse forward, away from the user, rotates the view up. Moving the mouse backward, towards the user, rotates the view down. Cockpit view: CTRL+SHIFT+forward zooms the exterior view out and CTRL+SHIFT+backward zooms it in. Tower view: CTRL+SHIFT+forward zooms the view out and CTRL+SHIFT+backward zooms it in. Spot view: Wheel forward moves the view distance forward, and wheel backward moves the distance back. CTRL+forward rotates the eyepoint right, and CTRL+backward rotates the eyepoint left. SHIFT+forward moves the eyepoint down, and SHIFT+backward moves the eyepoint up. CTRL+SHIFT+forward zooms out and CTRL+SHIFT+backward zooms in. Note: View distance is different from view zoom. While in Pan Mode (when mouse wheel is pressed and held down) in spot view: Mouse left/right rotates the eyepoint right/left. Mouse up/down moves the eyepoint up/down. Top-down view: CTRL+SHIFT+forward moves the view distance out and CTRL+SHIFT+backward moves it in. Note: In this mode you can move your view all the way to outer space and back in.
