FSX/FSX-SE Aircraft and Panel Design Forum - How To

Hi.............I know alot of you have seen this type of post before, but I, like some, missed it, so, in turn is asked again! Are any 737 NGs(-600,-700,-800,900) being developed now for FS2002? I still love AFG's, they ROCK! But, my sim freezes with them going into night textures. Its made for 2000, but updated for 2k2, with problems. I dont blame them, I'm sure they have new surprises for us. No jet is perfect. "We cant expect them to be!"Thanks----------Ill appreciate qany input!MAHALO

Hi all, for example the Beaver, if the panel I'm using has throttle,prop,and mixture controls and I take it up get it on autopilot,straight and level, set up the Map and RPM for a certain airspeed and say come up 120 kts for the speed then swap the panel for another single engine panel with throttle,prop, and mixture and set up the same flight with the same setting will or should the airspeed be the same?if yes okay, if not then why not!!http://www.enter.net/photoalbum/data/reddog/596406.jpgUSMC Retired

I am using the 2 programs noted above to repaint an aircraft that was made with GMax. Problem I am having is the programs alters the colors each time I save it and then open again. Can anybody give me any ideas as to what I am possibly missing?Thankshttp://members.shaw.ca/dan_cyxc/sigcard.jpg

Hi Folks!This topic may have been bantered around before, but I forgot how to correct the problem. Here's the situation:As I pan around using the Virtual Cockpit, I noticed that brown squares quickly flash on the terrain textures and disappear. As long as you hold a particular view, flashing tends not to occur. However,if I start panning again, the brown squares momentarily show up and disappear.Is there some setting within FS2K2 or some setting within Riva Tuner, GTW,or NVMax that would eliminate the flashing? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated:KeithSystem: AMD XP 1700+ Duron Processor, GF TI-4600, 512 MB Ram, Windows 2000, Soyo Dragon motherboardNVidia setti…

Whenever i put a 3D object when i have backgrounds its always crashes on me! is there anyway to fix this or am i doing anything wrong! im running windows ME on a P4 at 1.2 with a radeon 8500LE videoCardThax for your help!

For people who want to b

Nothing there but vertices. The fuselage stills shows up in the object list and it says it has 3,000 something faces but I can't see it. Any idea what I did?

I originally intended to have an FSDS version out a couple of months ago. But after much deliberation, (and frustration with FSDS) I decided to spend some time learning GMAX and the end result is quite near. The jpg shows only test textures but the flight model, GMAX model, animation and a basic cockpit are complete. More details as I get closer to its release.Happy flying!Sarnac

I have read the Panel SDK and I have a few questions.1) Can I draw a line using a generic function, instead of using the MAKE_STATIC macro and(gag me) using a bitmap?2) If the answer to question 1 is something like "Always use macros, there are no generic functions to draw primatives like lines, or the like", do I always need to use a bitmap or is there a way I can use drawing primatives? If I create a 744 like PFD with the compase rose on the bottom, will I need to have a circular bitmap that rotates around a point? I know the circular bitmap would be easier than using drawing primatives, but that is just an example 3) In a gauge file...how would I go about laying …

I tried several times and different ways but didn't work out...The only way that worked somehow was when i chosed the border mode and cuted but they were wrong shapes. What is the best way to cut the cockpit windows? Using boolean maybe? I took a screen of the thing i made by choosing the border and cuted, i also sliced few times but the lines were missing. See the arrows in the screen so you know what i mean.I would be happy if somebody could help me a bit, this is the first model i'm making (757-200)Contact me if you got messenger or icq by [email protected].

I've started a 727 project today in gmax, and I was wondering where I could find VERY comprehensive information on the 727-200 (like wing chord, wing height, tail chord and height, etc...). Any response is greatly appreciated. Thanks.Joe

Hi all, Don Moser. Quick Question. I downloaded a little Piper the other day. It is a Gmax plane and the author used a "DECAL" to generate the numbers on the side. I want to repaint it and paint the numbers on it. How do I remove the "DECAL" from it. I tried removing it from the file, but it still shows. What's the deal on those things? Thanks!Don
