ALL FLIGHT SIMULATOR DISCUSSIONS IN HERE

[myke]

So tbh, vatsim is fake and it's more reallistic to fly offline :D

[Scania]

Thanks for the comments guys.

[Scania]

Actually - you get a better experience from flying on VATSIM and tbh I think its what makes a FS Pilot.

If you know what I mean?

[xxMATTGxx]

So tbh, vatsim is fake and it's more reallistic to fly offline :D

Haha. You make me smile :) VATSIM is as real as it can gets but they should let us have a bit of fun? Like I explained above. But I know myke likes flying offline and i don't blame him.

The G has spoken.

LOL

Thanks Sam, but we all have different opinions ;]

Hey Guys

Controlling the AFIS' fields.. i'm not sure any of you know what its like maybe from the exceptions of one or two however.. the title says it all.

I pretty much can't clear you for anything; ''Take off at your discretion, winds''

''G-MATA, Wellesbourne Information, Good Evening, runway 18, right hand circuit, QFE xxxx''

Some examples ^

But pretty much this is all I can see, and is all i'm aloud to see. (This is what its like IRL also).

http://i37.tinypic.com/mk3gi.png

Any Questions? Just ask!

[iAdam]

This makes AFIS look harder than it is, you can get quite a bit of traffic sometimes aswell.

[Scania]

This makes AFIS look harder than it is, you can get quite a bit of traffic sometimes aswell.

Well it doesn't make it look harder than it is, because that is what it is.

[Recursion]

I think I would rather use binoculars and the old strip flightplan system than controlling as AFIS, this was one thing I was told about when I looked around cranfield, they don't use radar haha

[Recursion]

nice :)

Only heathrow towers have Radar, the rest of the airfields in the UK have binoculars as you said.

[Recursion]

I meant screens not radar.

[Scania]

I pretty much don't have a screen.. only reason VRC is open is for the fact of the frequency being set up.

I have to write the flight strips by myself on paper.. so technically imagine not of that is there lol

Nice!

Bad approach though! Too high! ;)

[Scania]

Er.. I don't think so? I'm not too high.

[Recursion]

The PAPI in FS2004 works on where the camera is positioned, the camera was below the plane (see screenshot 10) and you were pitched down, therefore too high.

"DIVE DIVE DIVE" < Submarine moment? Nice shots though.

Only heathrow towers have Radar, the rest of the airfields in the UK have binoculars as you said.

that wrong because Manchester has an apporach radar to see aircraft on the ILS


and controlling AFIS is weird so hard not to say cleared take off :P i'll stick with nomal tower hehe..

[Adam!]

that wrong because Manchester has an apporach radar to see aircraft on the ILS

since george said about it when he went their for a week last year.

Well aside from heathrow and Manchester then.

No other Tower controllers have Radar or screens.

then again gatwick might of had one when it used both runway back in the day :P

[iAdam]

But it probably doesn't now.

to see what it does to my computer. It'll probably be like putting it in a blender but meh.

Off to install it

Simmers,

Today I have started work on a bmibaby virtual web design. This will possibly contribute towards a friends site.. if not I will keep it for when jetScotland is established and me and Scott will probs start this project. Please be advised that the design is still a WIP and I will keep you posted as it starts evolving.

http://i33.tinypic.com/5u3eyc.png

Regards,
Sam

[xxMATTGxx]

Looks nice. Good Luck with it and if it does go to BMIBaby Virtual, hope you get permission.

[iAdam]

I'd take your watermark off it else bmibaby could sue you for copyright. Good luck I suppose.

Sam, if you have their images and are claiming them as your own, they'll sue you...

Anyway, nice design- works well with the bmibaby theme but not JS :(

Its nothing to do with jetScotland.. as for that every habbo layout that is made here with Habbo images on them.. and whoevers copyright on it can .. right off :)

Air India 747
Hey guys,
Done a flight today, LOWW - EDDF, carrying a special guest, a Kanine who had been searching through the wreckage of an Indian earthquake was in cabin, as he is a special dog.

He then decides that shortly after take off, he is in need of a call of nature and also needs a drink- we decide to divert to EDDF.

Here are some shots:

Even an average GFX card will run FSX fairly well, it's whether or not you have a processor that can handle it. I'm have an 8600GT and all my settings are between medium high and high with antroscopic filtering and AA :] plus fsx has better multiplayer support

Hi,

I am perectly fine when it comes to taking off and getting to the airport. But I can never seem to find the airport! How can I do this?

Thanks,
Also anybody wonna do multiplayer sometime?

[efq]

Never used FSX, isn't there a GPS or some glidescope?

[Stephen08]

If you can get to the airport then why can't you find the airport lol?

You must be able to find the airport if you say you can get to it :S

gps might help in some cases if you lose the airport?

search google for help with the fsx gps because its abit complicated to talk about it without pics

Sorry if I gave bad help but I don't understand fully what you're asking help on :S

And I'll fly multiplayer some time, I only just started playing fsx again so I need to get practising :D

[Stephen08]

God fsx multiplayer is crap.

Half the people who connect normally get disconnected, damn gamespy

I get d/c all the time lol but it's easier

[Kenneth]

Its not all about the graphics card, if you have a 9800GTX, but if you have a crappy cpu it wont run all that well.

[Recursion]

FSX still won't run decently on full settings on a Q6600 >.<

[Stephen!]

Guys, it still needs a powerful graphics card. The CPU does the calculating, the GPU does the rendering. If you had a 10Ghz Octo-Core and a 8500GT, it would still run crap

FS2004 has a full multiplayer network called VATSIM with live real people providing ATC.

[iAdam]

bull.. don't even start that.

Start what exactly? Sorry but 'that' only works if I knew what you were talking about.

[Scania]

Applied for permission 4 days ago and got a reply today letting me know that my request had been sent to the CEO and I would be contacted shortly, and that he was very impressed for the need of a VA Bmibaby.

[Stephen08]

FS2004 has a full multiplayer network called VATSIM with live real people providing ATC.

Yeah he means built in multiplayer, like you get chat, list of all the servers and stuff like that

Also jake if you get a flgiht sim get a joystick too if you haven't got one, so much easier to fly with one :D

[iAdam]

Fs2004 has inbuilt multiplayer, chat and everything as fsx has. You just need to have a server such as the flightsim world server.

[iAdam]

Impressed for the need? I'm sure there's already a BMIbaby virtual out there and three's hardly a need for another VA out there.

Continue it :D

[Adam!]

Take your negativity elsewhere.
He has a valid point, however.

[Scania]

Well not really, because there is no other bmibaby virtual, and if there is, they have not got permission.

[Recursion]

There have been a few BMI Virtuals looking at some Google searches I have done, all have failed miserably.

[Luke]

not making a point of anything

but what happened to jetscotland?

I don't have to, I can voice my opinion in whichever way I want after all I am entitled to it and if negativity is my opinion then so be it, I'm sure you've done the same before.

I have had FS9 for a while but when i went over to my m8's house he had FSX which was (in my opinion) much better.

Just want to here what u think so i can decide if i should get it.

Sorry for the short notice but im going out tomoz and theres a store there where i can get it so need your ops ASAP :D

Ty

[iAdam]

Computer specs please.

[Mattch]

how i find them lol?

[myke]

http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest

Then select microsoft X from the drop down. ;)

[Mattch]

i have all the minimum req's but not the recommended

i only failed here: Video Card
Recommended: 256 MB 100% DirectX 9.0c video card (NVIDIA GeForce 6800 or better)
You Have: 128MB ATI RADEON X600 SE (RADEON X600 SE (0x5B62))

FAIL: Sorry, your video card does not meet this recommended requirement. Upgrading to a more powerful video card will make all your applications look better.


But the video card meets the Minimum req:

http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/media/srl/min_chart_3.gif

[myke]

Well ok, get it then, but don't expect the graphics or frames to be too good :)

[Mattch]

but would it b good to play the game with?

(Video card pass - http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/media/srl/min_chart_3.gif)

http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/media/srl/graph_all_3.gif if that helps

[iAdam]

It won't be as good as it loks.

[Mattch]

so theres no point?

[myke]

If you want to play it with good graphics then don't get it.

[Mattch]

how badley would the graphics be so i can get an idea

Like will it be all pixalated or jagged?

[iAdam]

They won't be very good at all and you possibly won't get very good frames.

[Mattch]

that sucks :( i dont want to spend like £20 for something thats gonna be crap

[Oleh]

Well they will probably be better than mine and im on a laptop (i dont do proffesional though) i just fly about in fighter jets, so yeah get it

[iAdam]

The minimums in fsx are the bare minimums, play will be bery slow.

[Lee]

Sometimes when your space builds up the play will slow down, witch is rather annoying when it comes to flying.

[xxMATTGxx]

I agree what the people have said above. Only get FSX of your computer can fully handle it, if not you might as well go and get FS2004 aka FS9.

[Mattch]

kk wont bother then

[Dan!]

Wow that looks so confusing. :P

nah, as matt said once you learn it, it will come very boring to control :D

[Coheed&Cambria]

Yeah as in title, it installed on my old pc, But i now have a new one with vista and i put in disk 1 and nothing happend. I went to my computer and clicked the Disk and still nothing. I figured you guys would be the best to talk to about this so please dont move this thread mods. Any help is greatly appreciated :)

[Luke]

ok

1.
right click disc icon in Computer and click Autorun?

--if this ails to work--

2.
right click disc icon in Computer and click properties, compatibility, windows XP.

NOTE: There may be some different words to what i mentioned here since i'm using an XP computer, but i have a rough thought of Vista as do have a copy xD

If you're on Vista you may need to run as admin.

Right click > Properties > Run as Administrator, tick the box. Then it may work. Good luck Brother.

Make sure you file SVFR. I meant to say to you that the callsign is "Ascot" or just simply X-ray Victor.

At the moment I have FS2004 on my old laptop, but I'm getting a new desktop so I wan't to transfer it onto there. How ever disk 2 is scratched so I can't install it via disk. If I coppyed the contents of the C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Flight Sim 2004/ folder over onto my desktop would it work? Because I only have 512Mb pen drive so I don't want to wasted my time :P

[cocaine]

No, it won't work.

[Decode]

No, it won't work.

K, is there any way to recover data from a scratched disk?

[Coheed&Cambria]

Well if you have read my other thread, You may of seen that i couldent get FS2004 working on vista. So i went to pc world and asked them about it and they said its unlikely that fs2004 would work on vista. So i went to the till with FSX Deluxe AND Got the add-on pack (Acceleration) For free! Thought i would post it for anyone that wanted FSX..

So whats all you guy's thoughts on FSX?

[Decode]

I'm sure FS2004 does work on vista, I've seen Twamu post some screen shots on vista and he uses FS2004 I think.

[Judge Judy]

FS2004 works on Vista but FSX is amazing - that's if you have a super computer (well a decent one)

If it hasn't worked on 2 Vista PCs you may have a corrupted CD. Does the game install or is it an error during the installation?

Just tested FS2004 on my new computer. There is no lag at all, its amazing. I've been playing around in it for around half an hour in High detail.

Can anyone recommend some good addons? I remember there was a thread where every one was talking about some new scenery someone had made for around Hong Kong (I think) and it made no lag at all.

Hey

Went out for a test flight, I have some EGLL scenery on the download so these shots are default.

No editing apart from black bars to rid of explorer etc...

CBA to resize.

Crap at shot taking, I still need to figure out how to fly the 742, its so different from the 744!
