Thanks Stefan.

Great job on the manual Francois, especially the story. :)

The Vancouver Landings website is now open to the public. Vancouver Landings is a community site for flightsimmers flying in the Vancouver region with FSAddon’s upcoming Vancouver+ series of sceneries that are being created by Jon Patch and Holger Sandmann.
The site has a discussion forum for pilots to chat about their latest flight, help coordinate the creation of free add-on sceneries for the area, share screenshots via our built-in image upload system, show off their latest Flight Simulator movie(s), and just about anything else.
Also available on the site will be an add-on scenery library containing freeware sceneries both within the Vancouver+ area as well as the surrounding areas, a Virtual Airlines page that lists many of the VA’s serving the area, and a ‘Trips & Adventures’ page to help pilots explore the area. As the community grows, so shall we!
So drop by and take a look at what we have to offer at .

Hello Tom, I'm currently caught up in a couple of other things, you're welcome to start on Nunavut if you wish.
-
Hey we didn't announce the site yet! :lol: (no problem, plan on doing that in the next few hours anyways :P)
-
A few of us testers are making a website where we will host and coordinate free addon sceneries for the area, as well as have a forum for discussion of flying in the area. keep an eye out for the announcement - this may be a good project for it :)
-
Interesting results for sure, perhaps the multiple hard drive setup makes the difference though. For me I see a lot less hard drive activity while in flight using SB.
-
Let me know if it helps out with the blurries
-
Interesting development - I tried out the free trial of PCAviators "System Booster" software, - now I can fly up to 200/250 kts without encountering "the blurries", even with my scenery settings the same as I normally use - minus extended terrain textures and dawn/dusk blending.
I've done 3 flights now and there seems to be a decent improvement, my PC is the same as before, so perhaps that System Booster does give it quite a boost after all - has anyone else tried it out? It seems the loadup time is only 1/4 what it was before as well.
-
I did just that flying the default Jenny actually - it was cool but I very rarely fly that type of aircraft.
-
Yep. I'm glad that MS and most 3rd party developers provide good 2D Panels and VC's so you can choose which you prefer - and according to the MS Blogs they don't intend to change that for the next version of FS either :)
-
Well I made my decision - Track IR just isn't for me. I still prefer the 2D panel (I know all of you think I'm nuts lol :lol: ).
Thankfully there is a 30 day return period which I will take advantage of. Thanks to everyone for their help in this thread too.
-
I used your tips and made a slightly better setup now. I'll give this a go for a few hours. Thanks Andy!
-
In fact, the last RW flying lesson I had, a couple of weeks ago, my instructor commented that I was looking out the windows a lot more than I used to - I believe TrackIR has a lot to do with stopping my panel-fixation! :wink:
Andy
That is a problem I have with my rw flying too :lol: . I do have 30 days to try it I suppose so I may as well give it more time - is there any chance you could zip up your profile file and post it in a zip file here so I could try it out?
So far the problem I'm finding is a balance between it being too sensitive when just sitting there - and not having to turn your head so far to look around.
-
I am using the vector expansion (wishing I didn't get that right away now since they don't allow returns of it - for which reason is beyond me - not like I could use it without the Track IR :roll:)
I guess the problem is I've always preferred the 2D panel. I'll give it the weekend and try it for a few more hours before I make my decision.
-
Well I've been using it for a week now and have about 15 hours of use with it - and I still don't really enjoy it. I think I'm going to return it, I guess it's just not for me.
-
If you have the 182RG the performance is basically the same btw.
-
I have no probs with the Stationair VC at all fps wise at all.
-
I believe in the beta it was mentioned the limit was 100 airports or so - and it was due to some restriction in the way windows handled the memory or something along those lines and couldn't be worked around. So for big areas like Quebec you'll need 2 files or more I guess.
-
I get the double scenery.cfg entries any time I use the entry adder that is used for FSCargo and others (Orcas, Harvey, My Traffic and a few more). I always say "no thanks" and add it myself. I have no idea why it happens, but it seems to only happen to a few of us.
For your current situation to stop it from constantly adding that new entry - try renaming the "NewScenery.cfg" and "OldScenery.cfg" to Newscenery.bak and Oldscenery.bak and then remove the doubled entry in FS9.
-
Using the CH Yoke I'm already sitting quite a ways back. I tried putting it on the shelf above but it had a hard time spotting me there, works much better on the monitor.
Yes I see what you mean about having precision on all the time not being a good thing. Felt like I was swimming after the one flight lol.
-
I'd like to see the short field aircraft speed upped from 50 to 62 kts so all certified single piston engine aircraft would be included.
-
I wish I tried the F8 dampening function earlier - makes things a lot more steady - use it all the time now
-
Vauchez from Flightscenery sent me his file - the sensitivity is quite high but it feels very natural. With his permission I attached it to this post - just throw it in your Track IR Profiles folder.
Francois you'll be blown away - actually probably dizzy first :P, the first hour or two was strange feeling, but after that it's just incredible. You really can fly visually now - the gauges are just there for reference (my flight instructor will appreciate this - I always have my head down on the panel in my real flying lol). I tried a helicopter out - much easier to fly now!

Well I did find it helped with the blurry terrain textures - I also seem to get a drop in performance in non photographic sceneries.
