Norton sees the exe as a threat and removes it from my system immediately! This is the first time this happens, so I'm a bit worried.

No problems with Panda AV here, just Win7 that freaks out because it (yet) hasn't been downloaded a lot.

Just installed it and already flown it 4 times !

Super cool Rafale for FS9. And super light on FPS too !
Thanks to the VPA Rafale Team

For crystal clear textures you have to resave all sub files from DXT1 to DXT3
using Martin Wright's BXTBmp reformater tool.

I have done it. Its a long process but the end result is perfect !

No problem here... I examine the beast...

I also did not have any problems with Kaspersky.

First time I've ever seen a download rejected by Chrome/WIN XP - definitely something not very kosher here.

Be a lot crisper if one had the original textures in 32 bit, say.
Saving to DXT1 is extremely lossy, converting it again to DXT3 means you have a 3rd-generation lossy texture!

Maybe the effects of gear's suspension are limited, but what a beast...

***Ferry_vO*** · April 29th, 2012, 03:12

Not bad!

Maybe the install program ?

Seen on the VPA forum, it appears that this aspect will be fixed...

Hi Guys!
I had a nice ride on that Aircraft! Thanks a lot to the Designers....I know how much time it takes to do something like that

To converte the Textures to DXT3 would be a good thing for a update!
The main Problem for me is the Gauge illumination if you fly against the Sun in VC view!
I can see almost nothing on the Moving Map, but this could be fixed easily in the Model!
For me it is to easy to pull over-G's, could also be fixed...

Cheers

Me too. It's a medium threat due to low reputation. Very new and few downloaders. I would imagine it's safe.

Very safe !
Scanned with Malwarebytes and ESET .. no problems
Norton like to issue false positive :(

***fsafranek*** · April 29th, 2012, 08:16

It's all very safe. Just tell your downloaders and virus checkers to bugger off and get on with it.

Here are the aircraft.cfg changes I sent to the VPA team yesterday after the preview. Not sure if they made it into the final download or not. But just in case open each "aircraft.cfg" to edit and make these changes. This will stop ATC from calling you "Experimental".

[fltsim.0]

atc_airline=AIR FORCE

[General]

atc_type=Dassault
atc_model=Rafale
