    @Shom can you pleease confirm this is from an unmodified wingview?

    I did change the view by changing x,y,z settings only in the aircraft.cfg file but why would that impact the animation?

    OK, I fixed it! There is a .dds conversion app online (https://www.aconvert.com/). I used it to re-size the "emb_glarebuttons.dds & emb_glarebuttons_n.dds" files to 2048 and 4096. I tried both the 2048 and 4096 and didn't see much difference in resolution. So I settled for the 4096 (no hit on FPS either). The Glareshield buttons are readable from my normal VC view  now. It's like night and day! I am keeping the 3 options (1024, 2048, 4096) for these 2 files in a separate folder for backup in my "sharedtexture" folder in the feelthere PIC E175 folder. They can be easily interchanged if needed. Sorry, the converted file zip would total 17mb, the max for attachments is 4.88mb, so I am not able to include them here. But the above files are easily converted using the website above.

    Hope this helps others with this problem.

    Regards,

    Thanks for this, so you set a height and width of 4096x4096?

    Shom,

     

    About the missing spoilers:
    Have you applied the SP1? Do they "re-appear"when closed ? is the aircraft on the ground or in the air at this point ?  Are the spoilers on both sides missing or just one ?

    Yes this observation is done on SP1.

    The aircraft is in the air and can the issue can be reproduced easily - look out towards the wing from the angle I've posted and as you extend the spoiler to max it will be visible throughout the animation until it reaches max position and at this point the spoiler suddenly disappears.

    The spoilers do appear again when closed and the issue is on the left wing only.

    Could you please re-test it again? If you look some other post someone just reported the opposite stating the left spoilers are OK

    It depends on the angle which is weird, if I look back from the forward part of the cabin the spoilers appear fine.

    It seems there is a general inconsistency of the wing parts/animation when looking from different areas of the aircraft.

    From external view everything is good.

    And another good point which was fixed in SP1 and wasn't mentioned was that now the engines can be seen from within the cabin when looking out to the wing view

  5. Hi,

    I remember it was reported that the throttle over reacting during turbulence was to be fixed in SP1 but could not understand from the release notes if it was indeed fixed?

    Edit: found the following in the release notes: -changed AT responsiveness to match the real world AT even closer

    However, I did a flight in the E195 and the throttle was still all over the place (decreasing/increasing violently) in order to keep the speed during turbulent conditions.

    Thanks,

     

     

  6. Hi,

    I'm reporting more wing/flap modelling issues on the E195 model only - 

    Flap structure on right wing ONLY is incorrect - 261555853_Rightwing.thumb.gif.843815cbdc440396e34ea1c74e6b02a9.gif

     

    Left wing is fine (in comparison) - 

    1281216353_Leftwing.thumb.gif.6421bc409b298fadd8aadfe018a0dc14.gif

     

    Speed brakes from back view completely missing when EXTENDED FULLY on left wing view only - 

    573837742_Missingspeedbrakes.thumb.gif.835761d95ffeb13c2775ae4519684ca0.gif

     

    The speed brakes on right wing view are fine and extending correctly.

     

    Can someone please acknowledge these critical modelling issues will be fixed?

     

    Thanks and stay healthy!

    Hi,

    I own the old V2 Embraer 170-195 versions and was looking to upgrade to the new V3. I have seen videos and reports of the autopilot MCP panel being unreadable.

    Can anyone please say if this is the case still after the SP?

    Thanks

    Keith

    It's an issue which still exists, especially at night. Hopefully this gets fixed along with the other lighting issues during dusk/dawn transitions

     

  8. @k2aviator here you go, unfortunately the engines are not modeled when looking out from within the cabin.

    I think if you own chaseplane you can set custom views looking from outside the aircraft however the downside of that is you get the external sounds and not the ones you hear from within the cabin

  9. Looks like the wings were neglected in this version (also reported by me in another thread).

    The wings and trailing edge flaps are not modeled correctly to a point the e-jets v2 wing view looks better.

    The leading edge however is really nicely done with the chrome/PBR effects.

  10. Generally I think the trailing edge flaps and wings need to get the same PBR treatment the leading edge slats got.

    The wings and trailing edge flaps textures are much lower resolution and you see no light reflection off their surfaces.
