    I also use V5, yes. Missing as in no strobes at all?

     

    I don't remember as I don't really use it any more, I remember having to do some reasearch and looking through their manual to figure out how to render models.

    Strobe look flashy (like they are still the default ones). They don't look as near as the ones in your video 😃

    The best I can do:

    "Here's a link to at least the fx files. I've renamed them to default P3D so that at least you could stick them into P3D and see them. Yes I used MCX. If you have that just go to attachments and you'll see where it says beacon strobe, you just rename them to whatever file you want them to use. PLEASE backup the original model, as it could seriously mess up the model if anything renders incorrectly."

    Thanks @atav757 but after replacing these 2 files I'm missing your main improvement which is the white beacon flashing led light...

    Is this compatible with P3D v5? This may be the issue as I'm using this version

    I tried to disable them but it still remain. Can you show me what you excatly do? Thanks 

    OK I managed to reproduce this w/o FSL Spotlights. Seems like this is happening at a certain angle when there is lighting on the aircraft coming at a certain angle. It comes and goes. Hopefully FT can tackle this one

    Sorry for re-opening this topic (and if it is kinda off-topic), but does anyone knows if FSLabs is accepting new subscriptions to the forum? It's my second day trying to sign up, but they still didn't approved my request... Thanks in advance

    Make sure you put the details as requested (first and last name etc...) otherwise automatically you will not get access

  10. E-jets v3 response to turbulence

    in Airplanes

    Posted

    Hello,

    Wanted to get feedback (I assume mostly from people flying the aircraft IRL) - the e-jets seem to be pretty sensitive to turbulence meaning real shaky when taking turns and there is a small tendency to start a turn to the left which stops (also when cruising).

    Is this expected? Generally the aircraft feels really light and is easily affected by the env.

    Thanks for any feedback

    I've been trying to get a confirmation email so that I could post for/regarding the new V3 eJets, but, alas no reply. Strange -- so I changed my email.

    Anyway, loving the new eJet V3, but the night lighting in the Virtual Cockpit is a problem indeed. Not sure when the SP will be out and how it will be addressed. I'm going ahead anyway and posting this to help out the community with the problem in the VC with night lighting.  I have created FSLabs Spotlights Profiles for the 170, 175 and 190. I'll try to finish the 195 as quickly as possible. The link to the files is below along with a link to the FSLabs SpotLights page. Drop each FSLSpotLights.ini file in the folder of the respective aircraft (same folder where the aircraft.cfg file is). You will need the FSLabs Spotlight utility installed; it's free.  The lighting follows the real world EJet.  

    I have tested these with P3D V4.5. 

    Links:

    @Jeffrey S. Bryner thanks again for this great lighting enhancement.

    Question - could it be the E170 download link does not include the correct file? I've noticed it is identical to the E175 ini and when using the E170 at night within P3D the lighting isn't correct/ some lamps don't work.

     

    Thanks for the help

    Technically I can absolutely give the LED FX files since they were made by me. Because feelthere used the same effects for all planes, you’d just have them showing on all the E-Jets which is up to you. And they used the default sim beacons (unfortunately) so if you use mine all your default airplanes / possibly AI will have those beacons. Like I said if they quickly embedded them into the model like I did, it would be perfect. I’ll try and remember to attach it to a reply tonight.

    Appreciate if you can share the FX files

  14. E170/E190 V Speeds

    in Airplanes

    Posted

    Hey,

    I'm actually really enjoying the aircraft since SP2 was released and I actually bought the E170/190 as well yesterday.

    Question - why are the V speeds for the 170/190 missing from the manual? Only the ones for the 175/195 are present for some reason.

     

    Thanks,

    Shomron

  16. Internal Lights and Takeoff Dynamics

    I spent a day or two trying SP2 and it seems to be a big improvement. It looks like FeelThere have changed rather more than the few things mentioned by Vic in the release posting.

    The initial jump on rotation has pretty much gone, and the rotation seems more controllable. Not perfect, but much better.

    With SP2 I tested at 2 takeoff weights, 43000Kg and 52000Kg.  I found I could get an acceptable rotation with trim at +3.5 at both weights. It did not need the +5.0 that I used with SP1. There is still a marked tendency for the nose to continue rising. This is partly controlled by a small amount of down trim as the gear is raised. Also don't be in too much hurry to raise the gear, it's not a fighter, and raising it too early will increase the nose up pitching effect.

    To me it still feels a bit overpowered, accelerating and climbing, at max takeoff weight, a bit faster than I would expect, but it is definitely more manageable than before SP2.

    For me at trim +5 the pitching up is still ridiculous in SP2 (at about the same weights you described, I experienced the same in a TO-2 takeoff).

    I only use the E195. I had found with my setup that trim at +5.0 is about optimum for a flaps 2 takeoff at all weights at normal temperatures and altitudes.  As others have said, this is outside the correct trim range.  I also found that using a slightly higher Vr helps with the takeoff transition in v3 Ejets, but it's still not anything like smooth, and certainly not realistic.

     

    Oh man I tried 5 it's better but still pitches up like a rocket..

    @FeelThere please fix this as it's really an issue (E195)

    I don't have 195, the rotation on 170/190 is "controllable" but still feel odd.

    I think the underling problem is CG and Trim, For 190, the "Normal" CG for feelthere are around 40%~50%, while IRL the range is 5~29, and the trim for TO IRL is -0.5~3.5, but in game the green band is 2~4, and I can only guess where the trim should be, that will give odd rotation and initial climb behavior for sure.

    Can anyone share for the E175/E195 what trim settings can be used to reduce this rocket launch effect?

    I mean you just gotta have you control throws and sensitivity set right you can get a smooth rotation but its a challenge more than it should be. But it does need addressing. 

    You mean joystick settings?

    Yes, the lights need to be fixed. In prepar3d v5, when you turn some lights on, the windshield becomes green. Let's hope for a developer fix, i think it's a model problem (MDL)

    Or wait for FSLSpotlights to get v5 compatible

    So now that the jets are almost perfect for me what I want to know is when will you be looking at fixing the internal lights so they work all day, and also when will you fix the flight dynamics so rotation is less like a switch? And will the right doors ever open again?

    The takeoff of the E195 is ridiculous, that alone prevents me from using this aircraft.

    I wonder if I until this is fixed, is there a way to alter the aircraft.cfg to fix this for now....?
