Yeah.. glare and even night-lighting work pretty well on 2D, needle gauge backgrounds..

My first modeled gauge was for my Bonanza P35.. Actual compasses (floating ball) don't look good in 2D.
...

I'm not completely familiar with this mode's VC.. but from what you describe, it looks like these are gauge files, not modeled gauges.

The gauges you've added "glare" to, are edits to the...

Yes.. once the wheels leave terra-firma, the airplane doesn't "see" a wind of any type (save gusts, shifts and shears)

Now.. If you are flying the same heading as your intended course.. winds...

I've had pretty good success with CHT (as it appears on the gauge)... You can go into the AIR file with something like AirEd, modify three factors. 1) The overal range 2) A multiplying factor 3) A...

Well Done ! :salute:

The humanitarian in me wants to tell you to RUN far away from this stuff, while you still have a soul :kilroy: ..

But I think you might have crossed the point of no...

Oh yeah.. that's a nightmare. I don't even try to download routes. Building my own keeps me pretty busy.

I do cheat a bit though. There are several good parts in the routes that come with it...

I'll admit to not having any Railworks experience.. and if I wasn't already so wrapped into this route with Trainz2009, I'd buy it and try it.

Does it have a good physics set ? WarChild seems to...

I've been following this thread.. thought I'd pop in :wiggle:

I've been a passionate rail-fan for about 40 years.. got hooked living near the CB&Q main-line in suburban Chicago.

Along the...

Hey.. check out my 310 and Bonanza while you're out there..

What I'm getting at.. is that every problem I've encounterred, was rooted in hardware (or software if you count BIOS)..

I've built...

Surely a video-card issue..



That's normal..(all the way back to FS8) just hit the back-space to reset the view.



Hardware..

I've had two problems with FSX over the years.. both similar to this.. Both turned out to be hardware related.

The first problem was a lockup with complex glass gauges running.. It turned out...

It's a debate in that two pilots will use two different techniques in the same airplane. Some prefer to fly a crab all the way into ground effect (some even wait until the last second and just kick...

As limited as te MSFS fligh-model might be.. this is a technique that will serve you well if you ever take real flying lessons.

The trick to landing in a X-wind, is to not think of it as a...

This is the age-old debate :wiggle:

I'm a proponent of starting the slip well before the flare. Both the the flare and the slip are "transitions". I'd rather not try to do them simultaneously....

Welll.. that's an age-long aviation debate. I'm a fan of slipping as early as the wind allows... With a strong wind, you risk running out of rudder if you start too early. Some people like to wait...

Oh.. and the thrust is always aligned the the airplane. The prop and engine have no idea how they're moving relative to the ground. They don't even know there's a X-wind.. nor does the airplane. The...

You've got a real good grasp on the theories :applause:

I'll just fine-tune the terminology... A 'crab' is nothing more than a heading that compensates for the wind so that you maintain a desired...

This is where simming crosses paths with reality. In the real world; by the time you're flying aircraft capable of altitudes where sustained, calculated rates of descent are needed.. you'd be...

It is interesting.. and just another aspect to simming that is very applicable to real flying.

For VFR flight, the vertical-speed indicator serves litle purpose beyond keeping you from subjecting...

The only gauge I ever modeled (and released), was the compass in my Bonanza.. There's no beating a modeled gauge .

From my experience though.. the "smoothness" of a 2-D gauge CAN be enhanced by...

I've been fascinated with this type of gauge(s) for years.. but never got around to working on it. I intended to have something ready for my last model (the Bonanza P35).

ANYway.. I'll throw some...

Hu ?

I'll agree that they're all alike , in that they're all high quality.. but every one is as unique as their real counter-parts.

When Carenado introduces a GA model... I get it first, ask questions later.. they've yet to let me down.

12-18 months is tops for an upgrade window.. in otherwords; 2-3 years is well past where it's worth putting a new video-card on top of an old CPU. You've probably seen this, in that that 260 didn't...

As far as Microsoft is concerned; I'd imagine that having someone update a small aspect from one of their older packages (already bought and paid for) for use in one of their newer packages (also...
