Hi Marc and Cheryl - thank you very much......

Same here, set it to NONE.

Do not delete your folders you will lose your configuration settings. Just uninstall via Windows in the usual manner before installing the upgrade.

Hi JJ

Disable turbulence and thermal effects on aircraft: should be enabled (checked).

Any news on ehancing the DHM to simulate helicopter vibrations?  I know you are busy with LWE and TkIr improvements.  But, thought I would ask.

Not at the moment but we do have plans to hire a helicopter to capture the accelerometer data. A few people have actually reported the current effects work fine with helicopters.

Thanks for the quick reply.  I used DHM with my helis as well.  I have to move the slider all the way to 10 to get reasonable vibration effect.  I no longer use EZCA, OPUS has completely replaced it for me.  I look forward to incorporation of the accelerometer data from real helo flights.

This probably seems like a really dumb question but how do I just enable the DHM effects for the default VC view?

example - I load up a speciifc aircraft and my defualt view is the VC view. How do I then select and save the DHM effects to 'on' for this view? Im not interested in creating extra cameras or anything.

Thanks,

Glenn

Yes Glen

Just open the the Camera dialog, select your Default view, tick the DHM option (might as well tick your Default option as well just in case you do add more views in the future), open the DHM dialog and tick everything and set all sliders to the centre for now, open the AHM menu and tick all those options if you want to use AHM, click OK to return to the Cameras dialog and click on the Save All Cameras option. Then exit the dialog.

After that, each time you or LC selects that view the DHM effects will be enabled.

Stephen

Not at all.

Check out the Live Camera Control upgrade described on page 1 of the Live Camera topic. This upgrade evolved from the World Views and Movie Maker idea. The LCC and its panning shot options should help, of course we will adapt it to try and meet the requirements of all the users.

Just the standard LWE settings with ultra-real textures Just spotted the screaming face

LOL I'd pay a thousand bucks or even more if I could get similar graphics on my PC........

I will see what can be done.

Regarding the landing update disable, I can, that would be quite straight forward. I suppose its only applicable to airliners anyway.

I suppose I should point out though that the LWE has always disable weather updates on final approach, the altitude limit used to be a little lower though. So you have always been using this feature.

But the other options must remain for now until we implement the weather smoothing then its all going to change. The default will be for VFR with no regard to any winds aloft issues or true winds aloft etc. people will have to enable the restricted options, enable true winds aloft, etc. probably only necessary for those high flyers.

There may always have to be some form of surface wind smoothing though, otherwise FSX could just go crazy and the winds would flicker all over the place. The FSX winds aloft bug is a real problem for everyone, but mostly apparent at high altitude where even stricter smoothing may be needed.

Hi Yorkshire

If you download the OpusFSX.msi file then you must uninstall before installing the new version. Do not delete your folders just use the normal Windows control panel uninstall.

The beta is supplied as a zip file, to upgrade to the beta you do not need to uninstall just extract the files into your OpusFSX installation folder. The zip file contains replacement files.

I will be producing a new release upgrade and purchase file tomorrow after completing two more test flights. So the current beta hopefully will become a release build tomorrow.

Just use the standard Windows extract to extract the files from the OpusFSX.zip file, alternatively you can use Winzip if you have it.

P.S. Send me a fatty rascal.

Hi Stephen

Thank you for such a quick reply - will try as you say.

Kind regards

Yorkshire

Understood, thanks, Mike out 

Rats, I'll never hear the end of that one

My answer was longer though.
