Do you actually fly aeroplanes? I've never played this game. I'm South African, hehe :)!

Thanks for the comment. I won't be making my screen shots any smaller any time soon. Unless it becomes required. ;)

Why should he? If your monitor isn't big enough then dont complain lol.

You have a flight simulator? care to post pictures as if you have a full home cockpit i would like to see this.


Do you actually drive airplanes? I've never played this game. I'm South African, hehe :)!

No you fly aeroplanes.



Oh and nice shots matt :)

*** IS THE POINT OF THIS THREAD?

Edited by MattGarner (Forum Super Moderator): Please do not post pointless comments ;)

[Luke]

You're obviously not familiar with FS.

He's posting a screenshot of his flight, from the simulator (note the section).
If you tihnk tihs thread if pointless, you should see the rest..

Anyways, nice shot Matt xD

In all honesty though, almost every thread in this section is pointless.

I might take a screenshot of my Football Manager game after every single result and make a new thread with it in. It's only the same.

[Luke]

Yes, but people are actually interesting in it, and they're not all the same, there are MANY types of aeroplanes and hundreds of airlines/liveries.

No screenshot is the same.

[Skajo]

It's the same 3 people with the same monosyllabic response, though. I might just do it and gage the reaction in comparison.

yes but with flight simulator, its a user controlled experience, allowing the user to create different angles and give a different perspective of an aircraft during flight or when its on the ground or whatever. the results table of a football manager would be the same every time - many of the shots from flight simulator are not the same and offer a different view of different types of aircraft.

No it wouldn't be the same every time. Okay then I might take a load of screenshots from Left 4 Dead or Truck Simulator and post a **** load of threads with screenshots in. It's pretty sad that you had to demean and analogy.

Love the concorde behind it :P

Nice shots

Very nice.

Someone idn't define their livery properly for concorde, which is such a shame tbh ;[.

Looking good, i wouldv'e joined you, but *cannot be posted on this forum*. Naw oj, it was the computers fault ;[

it took me 20 seconds to perform this "demean and analogy". hardly worth any time. imagine what i could have written given a few minutes. but do you know what is sad? coming into a forum where people are discussing their hobby trying to start an argument.

i stopped flying since like october last year, cause i sold my computer and my laptop isnt powerful enough to run flight sim. even when i have done, it doesnt work properly and stuff goes wrong and ugh. its horrible.

I'm not trying to start an argument, I'm trying to be given an explanation as to why people take screenshots and post a thread about them. I have been downloading FSX gradually for the past week actually.

[xxMATTGxx]

Basically with flight simulator, which I must say is a large community of people (not on this forum but around the web) Such as flightsimworld. Like to discuss and show people what flights/weather/ whatever they are doing in the game and post them on forums or websites. It's not suppose to look pointless, its just what most flight simmers do :P. It's hard to explain, but I hope you get the idea.

[Recursion]

Not up to the standard of Matt but oh well, I tried LOL.

Ignore the Tweetdeck update in the second shot, I just ran the shots through a Photoshop batch process :eusa_whis

was this before or after you ask me about tuning the ILS on PMDG :D

Before, I knew how to do it in the Level D and the PMDG 747. Just forgot about the 737, but its all good now :D

True but thats about all it does, the textures etc. are loaded by the CPU. In FS'09's terms, you've got a kick-ass processor, which is how you get those bloody sexy screenshots... along with your awesome camera angles!

Well, we haven't said anything about jetEngland.com. Just to let you know, the site is coming along very well, and we hope to be open very soon.

We've also added a new plane to the fleet: ERJ-135

Why and when the hell did that come into our fleet?! What happened to the Citation X? :(

Why and when the hell did we discuss the citation X, and it's a ghastly plane anyway LOL

This is perfect for city hops ;]

and, it's actually ready and painted. LOL

The Citation X is like.. the best private jet out there babes xo And we did discuss it in a group conversation Mr!

The Model or Liverly?

[BeanEgg]

sexy image :D

[Frank459]

Well for this I am going to be using Photoshop CS3 with no preloaded tools.

Ill take one of my crappy images for using as an example.

Original photo:
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h27/Frank_EA_2006/1.png

Alright, first off we are going to use the image auto adjustments, there are 3 types. Auto contrast, Auto Color and Auto Levels. Experiment with all 3, but here are the effects on the original picture from the different adjustments.

Auto Levels:
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h27/Frank_EA_2006/autolevels.png
Auto Contrast:
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h27/Frank_EA_2006/autocontrast.png
Auto Color:
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h27/Frank_EA_2006/autocolor.png
All 3 together:
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h27/Frank_EA_2006/all3.png

You can see clearly that these have some good effects on the original picture. (Ignore my scenery which was quite messed and showed clearly during the screenshot.)

Alright, now the next method is Hue/Saturation. (Ctrl+U) Play around with the sliders and boost your color levels a bit more. (I only use Saturation as lightness is ok and hue changes all the colors.)

I changed my saturation to about +30-40 and got this result:
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h27/Frank_EA_2006/all3huesat.png

The last feature im going to use is the Shadow/Highlight tool. (Image > Adjustments > Shadow/Highlight) By changing the shadows I brightened a bit of the aeroplane up and shows alot more detail. Here was my result:
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h27/Frank_EA_2006/withshadows.png

And for the very last feature im sure everybody knows of, is cropping the image to what you want to show and add a small border around the edges.

Final Image:
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h27/Frank_EA_2006/Final.png

Thats all for now,
Frank.

Edit: I shouldve used the sharpen tool but didnt seem at the time as necessary. If your image is a little blurred just make the brush about 400px in size and click over your image to give a nice sharp effect to it.

[Stephen!]

They all look basically the same..

[cocaine]

lmao start image and end image look the same.

[Lee]

The third and final screenshots are the best out of the lot (;
Well done.

Spiffingly spiffing.
Keep it up Matt, I'll be back on Vatsim soon.

[-leestrong-]

Congratulations on the advance to Autopilot.
If you would like some help getting rid of those jagged edges feel free to drop me a message and I can message you all of the details.

I wish you blue skies and safe landings!
- Lee

[-leestrong-]

That's quite nice actually, I've tried this out and it made a huge difference, after having it reviewed by my flying partner on MSN he thought they were fabulous screenshots, oh - and I did give credit to you Frank!

I wish you green skies and upside-down landings!
- Lee

[Kipp]

Kool screenshot.

[-leestrong-]

Your aircraft should have come in it's own folder (usually the aircraft model) which you place into your 'Aircraft' folder, inside the model folder are folders such as "texture.BAW" "texture.BMI" for different liveries, and these are configured in your aircraft.cfg .
Did you get any documentation with your aircraft?

- Lee

[-leestrong-]

After I was playing with some settings I recovered these screenshots from my images database, I havn't attempted to crop these images they are straight from the simulator. In the last screenshot I fixed my Anti Aliasing. By the way, I was in no way attempting to land in screenshots 1-2 for those whom are concerned.

[Frank459]

I LOVE the last one. What was your average FPS with these settings?

[-leestrong-]

Thanks,
I think I added another one on, so which one?
And usually around 40 (which is my set cap), it occasionally dips down to 20 just after I maximize but goes stable after around 30 seconds to 30-40 again.

So 30 average.

- Lee

[xxMATTGxx]

Lee :D Wooo, my good old timer Vatsim buddy. Man, I missed you and Scott lots on our rather funny flights. :D. Looking good like always baby. Keep it up, we have to fly someone in the summer?

[Kipp]

Amazing, my favourite one is the 3rd one.

[Recursion]

Holy crap. FS9? Airport?

If its FS9 im going to guess your using some light addon? :P

[-leestrong-]

Yes it is FS9 with a LOT of addons. (y)
So many I've no idea what's creating the sky lighting, I'll take a look for you matey!

[Recursion]

Not the sky lighting, the ground lighting XD

[-leestrong-]

Not the sky lighting, the ground lighting XD

Ah, I believe that is a part of the scenery, with some special light thingy I found on Avsim. The problem is, I didn't note which one it was.

www.flytampa.com (http://www.flytampa.com) LOWW for the scenery ;)

Funny as in get Scott to type in the hijack squawk and get him disconnected from the network flight you mean? :(


And yeah, great flying you must have with those graphics and 30-40 fps. I envy you ;(

[-leestrong-]

LOL. That was brilliant though!
Matt: Go on squawk 7500 for a minute

Ok, so I've over 500 hours in this e-aircraft and I've experienced Wind Sheer on final / t/o, however I've never noticed the aircraft warn me about it.
Has anyone else noticed this? OR has anyone else heard the warning before?

It depends if the actual model has a windshear sound.Where the PMDG MD-11 has if i remember correctly. Although, I not flown the Level D for ages or in them conditions. :(

I'd have to try this MD-11 out ASAP, isn't it the new one?
I'm eager to take her up!

I don't think the LvlD does an audible warning for Wind Sheer, and im thankful, Active Sky 6's wind changes are shocking.

[xxMATTGxx]

Glad to see you getting on nicely with the 747! Keep it up :D

Cheers (L)

Nice shots (:

I recently got Activesky Advanced, I done a test approach into Birmingham and had an immediate gust between 10-20 and it almost threw me right off the runway, I just about saved myself though. :P I uploaded a video onto facebook and my partner (also doing PPL) just said "Wow".

I havn't got all of my addons back yet, however I'm downloading them as I write this very topic.

I've everything on high including the autogen settings, and I'm getting a steady ~40 FPS (capped 60) with the Level-D 767, so I'm going to hope now that when I install my airport scenery and special lighting that it doesn't all go bad, however even on XP I think I had my autogen turned off, so I could just turn it off and I wouldn't notice, I guess.

However, I'm suprised with the performance on most of my games, including Left 4 Dead, HL2, CS:S (All on highest settings) are running perfectly fine, since they didn't on Windows Vista.

I'll post my updates and screenshots here.

I found W7 very unstable with FSX. Too much going wrong.

[Recursion]

I found, on my system, that I got the worst performance with Windows XP and the best on Vista/7 (on par). I lost almost 10FPS in both FS9 and FSX when I went down to XP, before going back up to Vista.,

[Recursion]

I like the 3rd, its nice to see someone else do some GA shots :)

[-leestrong-]

Nice job, good editing :)

Looking rather sexy like always Sam. Keep up the amazing work :D

What model is picture 4&5? Where did you get them also.

Avsim has been hacked, with right now no way to backup because of the ways they made the backups.

their also talk of them them not reopening.

[xxMATTGxx]

Yeah, It's like the whole history of Flight Simulator has been deleted because of the amount of files for each version!

[Lee]

:( Shame, I was about to get back into Avsim.

[Technologic]

It got a mention on the bbc news site..

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8049780.stm

[-leestrong-]

Oh boy, this is real bad.
I really hope they manage to come back, whether or not to be reconstructed. Avsim was a very resourceful website, and valued by many, if not the whole flight simulator enthusiast community.

- Lee

[Recursion]

I read on their temp forums that the actual files may still be there because they were on a NAS system.

[Scania]

It's been hacked for the past like 3 weeks but they didn't actually realize why the servers were going down.

[Mint]

AV-SIM of that lmao.

[Frank459]

Didnt get that joke, but im sure they will be able to resurrect the servers somehow and get it all back online. I hope they do anyway, was a great index.

No they weren't, they went down because the "hacker" removed the partition tables, and Tom Allensworth and his associate watched him do it.

[Lee]

Now most of POSKY links are down because of that! :(

[Recursion]

POSKY host 80% of their own files, people keep saying that POSKY will be gone now, its ******** -facepalm-

I have played flight simulator games before and really enjoy them. But I am confused about what flight simulator game it is that all of you play and how it works etc. Like is it a game that you have to buy from a store or something? Thanks, +rep to any helpful answers. :)

[Lee]

Basicly, its a game mostly used by aviation enthusiasts (sp), bought from a store (unless your naughty and download it via torrent) and it simulates being a pilot... From starting the aeroplane, to taking off, to landing... It has various models available from the menu, and for download aswell. Payware and Freeware addons are avalible (See sticky in this forum for a great list) whitch include scenery, repaints, models and more...

To get the best out of flight simulator you will need a good graphics card (Such as nvidia) and great computer specs. Your best having a joystick aswell!

-Watch MattG come and top all that with one sentace-

[Lee]

LOL, nice shots, loving the cargo!!!

[Mint]

My internet connection is crap so downloading it is out of the window. Can I buy it at somewhere like PC world and if so, how much will it cost and what is the exact name of the game? Cheers.

[Lee]

Matt Garner and the possay use Flight Simulator 9: A Century Of A Flight, can be bought from PC world...

Flight Simulator X is the latest version, but it uses alot of memory...

Hey, you can get it a lot cheaper then that might be a good idea to check out ebay or something liek that :D

Firstly, I'd like to inform you that the forums are now up & running again :) Re-register, and join in the community ;)
http://www.jetengland.com/forum - Click here (http://www.jetengland.com/forum)

We are now also accepting genuine user registrations http://www.jetengland.com/ - or Click Here (http://www.jetengland.com/)

and click "Click to register" obviously ;)

Now for the rest of the thread:

This was also posted on the jE forums: http://jetengland.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=44 - Click Here (http://jetengland.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=44)

jetEngland has undergone some heavy maintenance work since it started and before we want to release it to the public.
It has already had a BETA test, which was okay - though We feel it could of been ALOOTTT better than its current state.
For example: Instead of usernames, we now have Pilot ID’s. We have completly scrapped the “get injured” idea, and have completly rewrote the source code for the internal runnings of jetEngland - the file has been dramatically reduced, the errors have been surpressed with the JE error system.

The website has been reduced from a loading time to 0.80millieseconds to around 0.14 (also depends on server load).
The “lookup user” has been replaced with a more unique pilot system, that has multi-functioning tools for that user.

The backend: The backend has been dramatically changed, with the database being ever-updated to suite certain new/removal (of) features - for example, as I said earlier in the post, the usernames has been removed (so therefore the row in the table for usernames is gone).

There is now also a feature to detect XSS flaws, and if noticed - trigger an error, and block the request.
ANOTHER new feature would be the NEW webmaster centre, with all the different JEAPI examples to try out.

Yet ANOTHER new feature would be the detect server load - and if it gets too high for a certain user, it inputs into our staff job list as a critcal level and then moans to all the technicians that the servers need optimizing http://www.dominic-uk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif
There is hundreds of more features in the linings, and hundreds already fitted but not described here (we’re not going to blow the whole game away!!). Simply wait for the public/private beta (if private, hope that you’re lucky enough to either get an “invitation code” from other users or from us!)
We look foward to seeing you flying in the virtual skys with all other jetEngland.com members.

PS: Checkout VATSIM soon http://www.dominic-uk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif We have a special treat that will be lined up - put it this way, it WILL be big and WILL attract alot of attention towards jetEngland.com for the good reasons http://www.dominic-uk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

Safe flying,

jetEngland.com Team.

your website title needs sorting you forgot to </title> but yous have <title and therefore you can see a line on code in the header

edit i think you can see you entire websites code lol

[j2jcs]

The forum looks really nice and user-friendly, but I can't say the same about the site unfortunately, because it doesn't display! As mentioned above, there is a problem with the code, which in IE makes the whole page blank.

I look forward to seeing the finished product however, good luck!

[jetEngland]

Thanks!
That problem has now been rectified.
