  1. Hell I cant get it to run right after Acceleration screwed it up with DX9.

    Alot of my addons got messed up after Accel, the CH53 included.

    On my 7900gtx, it ran fine pre accel now Its very CHOPPY.

    Also, only the middle engine gauge works. The heli feels like its getting enough power but there are no engine idications. I also have a panel of annunciators glaring at me.

    Could just be my bad luck after loading Acceleration but GOOD LUCK with DX10.

  2. Without your flight helmet on maybe.

    On my x-fi 7.1 7 speaker setup its maddening.

    Ive been around helis 25 yrs which explains my 15-20% hearing loss.

    I do my own soundsets so I know and appreciate the work you did.

    The only thing I changed was the tire screech. Not going to happen.

    I replaced it with a rumble or skid sound.

    So on TD you get that rumble,shaking sound.

    Using sound studio, I muffled the irritating high freq hum.

    Thanks for your continued dedication to this fine bird.

  3. Ok I did that and got a error message about not being able to find a texture. Sounded like one from the heli itself.

    Sorry its late and I didnt write it down.

    Wierd thing at least for me is that the outside heli is still all screwed up but I can now see all the cockpit.

    Turning off gen 3 just turns the lights off.

    Ok at least I can get one good night flight before bed.

    Thanks for the tip and look forward to getting this heli fixed up.

  4. Dam why didnt someone talk me outta it.

    Crap!

    Took and chance,got it started and I think, Life is good,nice cockpit,nice model, this isnt so bad.

    Then BAM :x

    The screen is filled with garbled bits and pieces of the cockpit. I switch to outside view and the heli looks like one of those transformers. Deformed with parts sticking out, blades sticking straight up,tail sideways......

    If you are considering buying this, stop,hand a freind 40 bucks,have him kick you in the nu***s,bang your head against a brick wall.

    Ok Im done :twisted:

    PS-Not yet.

    Now when I turn on the lights all hell breaks loose. Black screen,heli turns into a transformer. Graphics all garbled. Turn off gen 3 graphics return to normal but no lights.

    Guess for now flying at night is not possible.

    Also altimeter is not working.

    And another. Fooled with the GPS and screen locked up,garbled graphics.........

  5. For someone sitting on the fence, this heli sounds like it was dumped on us before it was even finished.

    $40 plus for anything from Alphasim is laughable so I waited for the Nemeth.

    I just do not want to be a paying beta tester for another addon.

    Hell, I STILL cannot start the S-76.

    Im tempted to get the ch53 and fool with it until a "cross my fingers" patch comes out.

    But I have the feeling all I will do is get my blood pressure up.

    Can you even control e the engines?

    What about if you have a running a/c and then load the helicopter?

  6. Aaahhh.. The S76 is clearly for FS2004, not FSX.

    I knew that when I bought it and simply took a chance the s76 would work or at least be flyable in FSX.

    I am just letting people know what happened to me running the heli in FSX and Im sure alot will be trying.

    Maybe we can solve some of the FSX problems so we can enjoy the s67 until its patched.

    If you are having problems running the heli in fs2004, then you are bitchin in the the wrong post.

  7. Im only running FSX now and took a chance, bought the s76. I managed to get it to 1/2 way work but Im not mad cause I want to support anyone who is making helis for us. :P

    Never could get the heli to start. It makes the startup sounds/blades spinning but add throttle and they stop.

    The cockpit dash is a bright shiny silver.

    I managed to use parts of another freeware s76 config and can now control e the start but only from the panel.

    No engine instruments work but everything else appears too.

    At least I can now fly although even on my fx-64,2 gigs ddr2,Raptor and 7900gtx rig fps are pretty bad. 1/2 of any other heli Ive flown.

    So if anyone out there is wondering if the s76 works in fsx, well yes and no.

    If you do not mind a little hacking it can be done.

    Now if I can only find someone to fix the chrome dash I will be happy until this heli get a fsx update.

  8. Just give me 2 developed runways to be hubs,bases.

    Them scatter around something that resembles a landing strip.

    Call em names like, Pucker Factor farm, Dead End Dive, Notgonnamakeit, Pilatus Prayer ect.

    Then dare me to deliver 800 pounds of freight there in 30 minutes :D

    I think it would be a blast and sale well but then again Im the guy who managed to land a PMDG 747 on Bald Mountain :twisted:

  9. I would be happy with an area like this littered with grass/dirt/gravel runways. Kind of a blank slate to build on.

    I could care less about a bunch of developed paved runways as there are already thousands out there.

    Call it Dangerous Approaches or Bush Pilot Xtreme.

    I would buy it.

    Ive tried to get into the seaplanes but they are Slooooooooow. Also after getting use to shoe horning in a med twin at gross weight into a 800ft dirt strip surrounded by mountains,landing on the water is pretty boring.

  10. Enter LVD in your gps. Its a vor on Level island.

    Nice tricky grass strip with the best approach being over the vor end.

    On the other side of the island at the end of the runway "road" is another approach but shorter. Ive gotten med twins in without any problems.

    Dressed it up a little with object placer.

    Currently working on another location, one of the helicopter glacier locations. Rough but plenty long and after adding some scenery,helicopters ect, got another strip to deliver too.

    Let me know if you find any other strips to turn into a cargo route as I need the money :D

    BTY- What Im doing is finding any location that can be found on the gps,scouting the immediate area and finding a suitable landing area. Adding some scenery,fscargo area and trying to populate Tongass with more locations to set up cargo runs.

  11. My only wish list is for more rough strips,real or imaginary. With FSCargo there are only a few places to fly. I do not need windsocks,buildings, just a colored strip as I can add my own candy.

    Does anyone know of a program where I can add my own runways? Really I just need a colored dirt/grass strip and a way to designate it on a GPS.

  12. Im kinda new to the Alaska area but I have this observation.

    With Active Sky running, Alaska sure seems to have more clouds than any other area in the world Ive flown in. This sure doesnt help the situation.

    Active Sky off doubles my fps up into the 40s and 50s but in this area Im happy to see 15-25. Smooth,no stutters
