FSX Preview Videos!

Part one has been uploaded!  Standby for part 2!

 OMG..... Perfect..The plane is perfect, great job what you did. congratulations.

Part 3 Uploaded! Standby for the final part!

Part 4 Uploaded it!  I hope you all enjoyed these!

Looking great! Thanks for modeling the windshield wipers in the VC. Really adds to the touch. Do you hear rain drop and wiper sound effect?

Just rain drops, not whipers.

Nice video's...looks promising...

Like everyone else already said, thanks alot for the videos and taking your time making them!

One thing that caught my attention was how the trim wheels were almost constantly adjusting but maybe that's realistic and/or due to the bad weather during the fligt? I can't however member I heard the sound from the trim wheels spinning this much when looking at various cockpit DVD movies.

One other thing, the movement of the spoilers retracting after landing seemed a bit "erratic"?

All in all it looks stunning and again and like everyone else, can't wait to fly this bird myself!

Hello everyone, thanks for the comments! My system specs and settings are posted in the video descriptions on YouTube. It's 4 am right now and I just got up for work so I don't feel like posting them again lol.

The trim wheel isn't like that all the time, I was in pretty nasty weather set to moderate turbulence. I did this to show you that even in the worst weather, the autoland is very smooth.

As far as the spoilers, my GoFlight TQ-6 is very very VERY touchy. I still don't have it setup properly (I thought I did) so I have to go in and tweak it some more. This is even worse during TO when my TQ-6 will send to FS that my throttles are still set to 40% so my engines will spool down on TO lol.

Ok, thanks for the comments Jeremy and have a good day at work...although I would personally be having a hard time forcing myself to go to work if I knew I had this baby parked in my virtual hangar

Chock wrote: I've got a cockpit DVD of 737s where the trim wheel never shuts up, it is clacking away like mad. That's in decent weather, and it is an 800 NG. Also, I thought the spoiler sequence looked a lot more like the real thing than most FS aeroplanes.This is that DVD in case anyone is curious which one I was on about:http://www.worldairroutes.com/Helios.htmlIncidentally, that is a great DVD if you want a good 737 one, very clear cockpit shots, good sound clarity and a detailed explanation of the avionics from the crew, including some detailed operations of the MCP. Certainly one worth having if you like the NG.Al

Thanks for the link to the DVD, seems to be a good one so I might pick it up having something fun to do while waiting for the iFly

LOL "I fly a plane" LOL <- those who have seen pushing tin will get it.

No, I'm an air traffic controller at Las Vegas McCarran.

  Of course if you have heavy scenery, that is going to cause you to be impacted more than the airplane will.[/QUOTE]


Do you fps go thru the floor if/when you fly into airports like klax,kjfk or eham ?

As I stated, my FPS stay pretty much the same no matter where I fly.

One question guys:

Ist the Display of the vertical profile in the lower part of the ND also planned for the FS9-Version of the 737?

Since the release won't be until later today, I plan on posting up some more videos to keep you all occupied . I plan on doing on in bad weather at night and one in dense scenery. If you have any other requests or something you would like to see in upcoming videos, please let me know. I will try to accommodate as much as possible but please understand not only does it take awhile to setup and record these videos, but also takes a long time to upload them.

Great Videos!!

Nice videos.  I'm still amazed after all this time stutters are still very much present in FSX.  In video four when flying over water the sim never smoothed out.  I can see the subtle improvements in the VC over the FS9 version and the VC gauge refresh rate is awesome but something is taken away from the experience when you look out over the ground and it's not smooth.  I guess I'm just spoiled at this point...   Great videos just the same hopefully FLIGHT is an improvement.
