If its anything like the rest of the game, then it will look a lot poorer than expected I guess,

I think London is the only place they have payed extra attention to in the UK. :rolleyes:

Anyway, I'll go look for you now.

Mark.

Fairford does have a lot of trees around it...

Thats absolutely brilliant! Everyone has got to watch this.

It was funny but I don't think English was the native language of the person who did the captions - some of it doesn't make a whole lot of sense

This is what Manchester looks like............

Slam62 · 15 Oct 2006 at 10:50

Um about london being done well, the Thames has been broken up by a series of land 'bridges', very strange. (read shockingly bad, dx10 wont fix that)

i had british airports version of manchester on my old sim, and that was pretty good, i suppose anybody who wants the real detasils of the airport jsut gets them anyway . i thought they may have made an effort to put some more detail in though.

LEUVEN · 15 Oct 2006 at 11:22

When you consider that it is the year 2006 and the technology we have, it looks pretty poor.
Even comparing it to some cities in USA it is poor. :mad:

Guys,

can anyone tell me on where to find info on importing my old aircraft,

I have a decent bae146 and atr 72 models i would like to import.

Have dumped them in the aircraft folder. and the game isnt picking them up

Have googled and flicked through the manual, but cannot see anything. Always just says goto the aircraft selection screen

cheers

i know i am gonna have big problems with the panels once i do get the models working.

Cheers

Are they payware? There are probably files spread in various places within the FS folder and not just in the aircraft folder.

Best reinstalling them mate.

Datamonkey · 15 Oct 2006 at 12:02

hey chralie,

I have some pay ware,

Flight 1 Ultimate Terrain
Just Flight RAF Vulcan

Also loads of fs2004 addons downloaded from flighsim.com

i just cant get any of it working, folder layout seems to be different from fs2004/9

Cant even bring up Ronaldsway Isle of man airport in fs:x
Was my flight route from london luton with the bae146 and the aer arran atr's

Oh well back to fs9 till they sort out this pile of crap.

Even climbing throught the clouds it starts to stutter lol and i have a very highly spec'd rig. As soon as you get a sink rate warning the frame rate just plummets. Crazy Stuff.

I don't see why they don't have an MSN Virtual earth images option. That way, it would all be photo images although up to ~5 years out of date I suppose.

LEUVEN · 15 Oct 2006 at 12:14

I found this on a site somewhere....it may help.

"Yeah, yeah, it's now the SimObject\Airplanes folder.

Unfortunately, many FS9 aircraft with autoinstallers are set for the Aircraft folder...

so...?

ADD IT IN!

[Main]
User Objects=Airplane, Helicopter
SimObjectPaths.0=SimObjects\Airplanes
SimObjectPaths.1=SimObjects\Rotorcraft
SimObjectPaths.2=SimObjects\GroundVehicles
SimObjectPaths.3=SimObjects\Boats
SimObjectPaths.4=SimObjects\Animals
SimObjectPaths.5=SimObjects\Misc
SimObjectPaths.6=Aircraft

From my point of view, for a developer, this creates an additional folder to have one's "test" builds

For that matter, you can create additional folders - Props, Jets, Military,"
