First of all thank you so much for your lovely freeware Avanti. It was the first aircraft I obtained and installed after I recently purchased FSX:SE. It's a joy to fly when I don't feel like taking the heavies out of the hangar

Anyway, back to the "problem" I have. I heard that it might be down to FSX not saving all the conditions of an aircraft once you save a flight then reload it at a later date, but could you please confirm or deny this?

I'd got up to a cruising altitude of 40000 feet - the cabin pressurisation had been working as it should throughout the flight. After reloading the flight, the warning light was on as was the fault light on the cabin pressure gauge. The oxygen gauge was going down. The battery had a temperature of -60 something degrees which would equate to the OAT I presume! I could not get any manual re-pressurisation to work.

Is there a possible problem, or is it just a feature of the simulator itself? One workaround if I want to do a long range flight is to use time acceleration when I can, yes?

Thanks,

Mark.

This is now a freeware project, test it out here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lln7i95ghptng0x/AAAFiCOMMyhQVydgWG0rJkv3a?dl=0

To decrypt, enter "TheHunHunterTexas" (mods, I do not use this passphrase anywhere, but I do not feel lime uploading 250MB again just to remove the password, so if you can, let it be here visible to everyone)

also, if you would like to contribute to expand this to worldwide scale, just ring the bell!

I have been working on a big big scenery lately, covering Western Europe with OSM vector data for coastlines, roads, lakes and even some VTP land class (for urbanized areas)...

The scenery covers all western Europe (the EURW area of FS9) from Portugal to just east of Italy. Resolution is at about 1point/10m, for roads, coastlines, rivers, railroads, power lines and VTP urban area polygons!

Here Some screenshots so you know what you are testing!

Reykjavik, Iceland

Innsbruk, Austria

Genova, Italy

Note that I have a variety of freeware texture add-ons and a (free) global SRTM mesh...

If interested, respond to the topic and you will obtain the dropbox link and the decryption password via PM.

There is no easy way to fix the second problem - that must be done on a case-by-case basis. However, you, working on the OSM project, have an opportunity to fix the first problem. Since you are already processing huge amounts of shoreline/land-/water-mass data, it may be possible to remedy the first problem (inland ships) by creating a bulk object exclude using the land-mass data you already have. This would probably be placed below all other layers so that objects called by autogen and special buildings can still be drawn. (I'm thinking positioning it and the shipping package itself at maybe third-to-bottom in the scenery library - or so.)

Of course, I don't know the issues that may come up in trying to create those excludes, but it is an idea that might be worth considering...?
