Looks like another definite addition Baz.
I can justify it to 'her indoors' as she spent up big when we passed through Paris a few weeks ago!

She is a beauty! there goes the creditcard....:applause:

I just went from a old man of 73 to a young man of 23, flying this Cessna brings back the past! Thank you For this GREAT CESSNA PLANE ! Lee

[Alan_A]

What a FANTASTIC little aircraft! I don't get this enthusiastic very often, but that's as much fun as I've had in the sim in a long time, apart from my hours on Manfred's C-47. In fact, it's the perfect personal ride for a C-47 driver... and a perfect cure for all the overwrought, overcomplicated stuff I've been trying to do recently. Flies like a dream and it's just such a great, relaxed, peaceful experience. Looks amazing, too, inside and out. I'm going to be putting a lot of hours on this one. Many, many thanks!

[bazzar]

Thanks Alan, it sounds like you're using it for the purpose it was designed. Kick back and enjoy...:engel016:

[Sundog]

Just a warning to some, you may want to wait and buy this from a third party if you have Comcast. I've been unable to update my planes from them because Comcast blocks their e-mails for me. I'll be buying this as soon as it's at one of the third party stores that carries their work. I just wanted to give you guys a heads up. They (AH) worked with me to try and fix the problem to no avail, and it isn't their fault. I just wanted to let you guys know.

[bpfowler]

Could this plane be a hot item in XP11?
YES :- )

If the swift goes well, perhaps the lil cessna will join her.

+1, it would be a must buy fit me. Wonderful little aircraft.

That's interesting.We haven't seen that before. We'll check into it. JF have the same release as everybody else. We'll patch if we find something.:engel016:

[bazzar]

Patch is now with all vendors and at our site. When you see it, please re-download. We have fixed the wing issue and a few other things around the model.If you run P3DV4+ you don't need the patch. Thanks.:engel016:

Does anyone know if there is a paint kit available of the C140?

[pilto von pilto]

Button called downloads on the product page. It gives you the 2 paintkits you need ( and since you're in the FSX forum - you'll want the non-pbr paintkit... unless you got the bundle but are only asking in the FSX forum in which case you'll need the PBR one as well ).

Small tip get both as you can take bits from the red and green channels of the metallic texture in the PBR paintkit and layer them on the Non-pbr version to get some more interesting and randomness... I might need to get out more. :playful:

Thanks Pilto,

I've repeatedly tried to download the paint kit from their site. The buttons only take me back to the home screen. Have you, or anyone, actually downloaded the Paint kit for the C140???? If so, I will contact Aeroplane Heaven.

[Cees Donker]

Great plane and fun to fly! Great work Barry!

:loyal:

Cees

[bazzar]

Thanks Cees, appreciated.

Everyone, there's a new patch gone up to the vendors. Customer feedback suggested we transpose the fuel gauges and air vent positions to reflect the more common position and we've corrected some model issues to improve the floats and a few other things. There's a small adjustment to the aircraft config (contacts) and we've improved the performance curve of the engine a tad. It should be with all the vendors very soon. For those who bought from us, we have the patch up and available. Thanks.:engel016:

​I have purchased this beauty but recently got a new MB in my computer but it won't run my flight sims so still grounded.

Hi, Id like to ask the other users of C140 and .... antialiasing here (tested in P3Dv4.5 1.0v), especially users P3Dv4.4+ version (textures with PBR).
Maybe this only on my spec and on P3Dv4. :indecisiveness:

I noticed very poor antialising on this model (especially on lines for sure) - on external and internal textures. Whole model "flickers" for me if You change the angle of view. I cant solve it by biggest antialising settings (like 8xSSAA) in P3D but its present still.
Strange because I didn't notice this symptom on my other models. I use 4xSSAA what is very good kind of antialiasing for me for Prepar3D and it's enough for me.

Most visible poor antialising is on Well-used skin:

https://i.imgur.com/ZlVGUKf.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/SvE9JoYm.jpg (https://imgur.com/SvE9JoY)

I wrote about it in P3D corner http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php/115606-Cessna-140-released?p=1186350&viewfull=1#post1186350 + I find solution: this repaint didnt use MipMaps.
The difference is a huge as You can see (default texture and the same created by me, please see both parts of the model and lines):

https://i.imgur.com/pJdL6WX.jpg

For sure I can make over all textures with MipMaps but if You noticed the same its a bigger problem and it needs to be solved by developer directly.


What did You think? Did You notice the same antialising problem on C140 compared the others?

Here is example with MiPMaps (I did it as example):

http://i.imgur.com/SN8Eo4Hm.jpg (https://imgur.com/SN8Eo4H)

As You see line are very good and no antialising problem here.



Btw. I didnt notice the same with other models and models of AH before He-111 (AH changed kind of textures from He-111).

Regards!

Once again I downloaded the newest patched version (V 1.2) of the little C140 with great anticipation. Problem......with the new download in the polished skins, the gap for the non existent landing light on the right wing is back. Which in reality doesn't bother me much because the shine on the polished versions are like chrome..........I've fooled with the alpha and that is not the problem........I mean it's a problem for me, because I can't seem to get any good results with the alpha. What is the fuse A texture used for in the FSX modeling??? If anyone can tell me how to dull down the polished skin a bit or if anyone can come up with a realistic aluminum finish and do it with no markings or trim at all, for FSX, I'll be in your debt. Thanks to all who are interested in this. I am delighted with Baz's customer service and in no way and I disappointed with the cute little model. I just have a hard time with gaps in then wing and aluminum finishes I can't really see as realistic. I absolutely go gaga over polished or even, once polished, now dull aluminum and red schemes.

Thanks for reading

Barry

[bazzar]

Hi Barry,

This first shot is what you should be looking at if you have installed V1.2 correctly. The example HB-CAD is or was owned by Stephane Baillard who kept his aeroplane extremely highly polished. Here's a shot of the real HB-CAD in the Alps and our model also in the virtual Alps. Fiddle away as you will on the polished examples but I can promise you they, and many more examples, do exist like that. We do include a well-worn alloy example as well.

BTW, please use our help desk if you experience problems, it is the fastest way we can get to you. We are not always around here because we're busy working.:engel016:

Thanks Bazzer, I appreciate your thoughtful answer and I'll use the support route from now on. I am grateful for the effort to produce such a nice model of one of my favorite light planes. Thanks again

And what happened to this guy? I dont see him :untroubled: (this was nice and good idea).

[bazzar]

Not to everyone's taste. Also, quite a bit of baggage by way of polys and textures to make him realistic enough. He might come back one day if he ever gets out of the pub.:engel016:

[falcon409]

I posed a question using the "Contact Us" form on AH 's website that hasn't been answered yet, but I'm wondering how many others feel as I do. There are two bodies in the cockpit and a hotspot in the cockpit that "controls the pilots". However all it does is remove "both" or add "both". I asked if it would be possible to allow the removal of just the passenger so that the pilot would remain. Maybe the pilot could be removed as part of the "Secure Aircraft" function.

Anyone else?

[falcon409]

A couple of places I've been with the Cessna 140. A terrific experience. . .great job AH!

Yep answered on 30 may to a cableone.net email. Common problem with emails. People contact us then we respond and they cant get them because of anti-spam. Ho hum. I'll add a bold thing to the FAQ on "please check the spam folder ".

In this actual case The email was

Its not a bad idea and as such we are doing it for the socata to come. The issue is that the amount of work and time to remake certain parts of the exterior for this feature is quite considerable. "

There was another bit but I have been told my humour is odd.

Thanks for the answer, unfortunate, but I understand the reasoning I guess. I can tell you, as keen as I was to get an answer to that.. .I've checked every day since it was sent. . .both Inbox and Junk/Spam and it never arrived.

Hi Cees, yes all fixed in V1.2:engel016:

Barry,

Could you take another look? I have no single VC without a texture flaw...I made some eight screenies and these all show flaws.

Cees

[bazzar]

It has been fixed and tested Cees. We know exactly what was causing the issue and have corrected it for the update. If you have the update there is no way you should be seeing the issue you show. Trust me. Also, please, as I have said here before, can people please use our help desk for support issues rather than this forum. Thanks.
