Post some screenies of your shoreham add-on for me, if you can as the ones on official websites often look better than they actually are!


Well here you go Micah, these are some screenshots I took at the airport with the included add-on Piper Senaca. The images have been shrunk down to fit on this page and load quicker, but I'm sure you still get the general impression:


Parked by the famous art deco terminal


Sitting on the runway


Looking back over the whole airport


A birds eye view of the airport and surrounding photoreal textures


Low over Brighton and the South Downs

Included on the ‘Flying Club’ CD-ROM are much more than just the airport scenery. There are four fantastic as-real-as-you-can-get planes (and I would know how accurate they are as I have flown one of them myself) There’s also a program called ‘Aero-Tools’ which lets you personally adjust the repaint of each aircraft (so you can make your own), personally add your own photo to the pilots face (so you see yourself flying the aircraft in flight sim), and a tool allowing you to adjust the default settings for fuel, body weight and luggage weight for each aircraft.

To make sure it runs perfectly on your PC, as well as being able to slide the scenery density bar up and down, the add-on comes with this tweaker that lets your choose what objects you want displayed in Shoreham!



You can buy Just Flight’s amazing add-on here for 29 quid:
http://www.justflight.com/en/(3wcsd4552lf4yhaunn5ualuu)/index.aspx
or visit the offical website here:
http://www.jfflyingclub.com/
I give it 10/10 for the amazing attention to detail and the level of customization involved!

Last of all, I couldn’t help sneaking this screenshot in, coz the flyawaysimulation galley still hasn’t been updated… Angry It’s my POSKY British Airways 747 over Waterloo station, Central London which is part of another VFR Photographic Scenery package!



Hope this is what you were looking for Micah,
Cheers,
From Andrew

Lol, go for it sonicninja! These screenshots are pretty average really and dont do it justice- your be amazed when you actually install it! I have a mid-range PC, so it may look even better for you. Plus, I have the scenery slider down low, and when you put it higher, you can see some cool landmarks like the local 300 year old college, the port and docks, power stations etc etc!

Its also a great little base to do flights from, taking off from it early in the morning, taxing around with the busy south coast traffic, then taking off, exploring the local photoreal scenery, prehaps touching down at the Isle of Wigit for lunch before retuning back to shoreham in the late afternoon. Its a great feeling coming in low over the downs to see the airport buildings glistening in the low light as you touch down!

+++ for 29 quid, I rekon its a bargin! The planes alone are worth that much.

I hope you do get it, it would be great to do some online flying there!

Okay Okay, so ive put the money pack and glued my kids piggybank jar back together as the wife said " Nope ".

instead ive decided to sell the wifes foot spa on Ebay, seeing as she now has trotters like an Elephant that has just finished a 30 year career running across drawing pins for the Circus.

Hooray for Ebay and my wifes trotters!!! Thumbs Up!

Hi CT,

Well my system is as follows:-

hp media centre, 3.4gig p4
2gig of ram
NVidia 6800GT 256mb ram.

I think it should look pretty good.

What do you run your settings on anyway?

I vary my settings depending in what sort of scenery I'm flying in. At the moment for straight VFR flying over the UK, I'm using these settings: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b235/444000/DisplaySettings.jpg but if I'm flying at shoreham, I put the complexity bar up way higher.

Your machine is top of the range - so it will run real smooth on yours. Lucky person!

Did you ever try it with AA unchecked and set to Trilinear . That should give better results.
If not, change it back.
Just a suggestion.

Nope never. I was asking for some advice in another forum because I keep getting blurrie photoreal textures. Will this improve my framerate or my blurries or what?

I'll go try it now and let ya know what happens.

Thanks for the advice mate!

Well I changed it and nothing happened- my photoreal textures are still blurry. Is there a way of editing the fs9.cfg to help stop this?

For anyone whos's interetsed, I found a circuit pattern of Shoreham Airport which I uploaded for you here: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b235/444000/CircuitPatternMedium.jpg
