EGPF - EGCC with B1900D

[EHM-1500 Jim]

Thought i would take the repainted PMDG B1900D for a quick hop online. Shots from flight from Glasgow to Manchester using on-line weather and Flight 1 environment upgrade. Hope you like.....

Wow Spectacular shots, and also great approach, was the landing ok:]

[EHM-1500 Jim]

Cheers Jonathan, was fun to fly i must say....landing was fine but had to straighten her up pretty quick!!

[EHM-1343 Jonathan]

Also, what is it like on FPS, harsh or good??:%

[EHM-1500 Jim]

A bit variable really, if you have the full detail clouds and fly through a very big formation then it does knock my FPS from 30 to about 20....no real hit with normalish weather....you can set it up to use slightly less detailed clouds but haven't tried yet!!

[EHM-1199 Philip]

Wow - I want that plane - nice shots.

[EHM-1627 Chris]

The graphics on that are amazing!!!

what card you got, and what FS version...the clouds are wicked!!!  they look quite realistic!!

nice shots as well

[EHM-0962 Zhen Yi]

Does the clouds look a little different from that in the original FS weather? i cant tell cause i have not been flying for some time.......

[EHM-1627 Chris]

they def. look diff. from the FS2002 clouds...the clouds on my FS are shockingly awfull, and just look really bad!!!

these ones look all light and fluffy like!!!

i want those clouds

[EHM-1500 Jim]

Cheers guys. The clouds are definately better than default, i admit that some of the differences are subtle but they are much fluffier and better coloured - i have only tried 3 of the millions of different cloud sets so far but i suspect they are alot better - it also adds in different cloud layers which move at different ratyes depending on the winds and gives a generally more realistic sky.
Chris - the product is called Environment Upgrade and is by Flight 1 - you can find them on the internet - not sure if it will work with FS2002. I use FS2004, have a 3.4GHz Pentium4 with 1028MB of RAM and a Radeon ATIx600xpro 258MB graphic card.....

[EHM-1617 Iain]

Hmm, Im thinking of the upgrade too.

Why are the IVAO status indicators down at the moment?

yeah i bet the 258mb (although thought maybe 256???) card makes 1 hell of a differance compared with my 64mb cheap and chearfull option...thanks for the product info...will have a look on the net!!

[EHM-1627 Chris]

just looked for them on the internet and that upgrade is only for FS2004:[..guess it's time for an upgrade!!!

[EHM-1199 Philip]

If I'm honest I'm not sold on the difference being that spectacular from Fs2K4 default from the screenies shown. The only difference about FS2K4 weather that really needs improving is the rate of change when online. All of a suddent the clouds switch off then after a few minutes regenerate at an alarming rate. It can't take much science to program a fading out and fading back in. The appearance though of Jim's clouds to the untrained eye looks not dissimilar to the FS2K4 default - what do others think?
(The VC on the plane however ... that is stunning.)

[EHM-1627 Chris]

so your basically saying that FS2002 is better than 2004???

[EHM-1507 Manuel]

yeah, really superb shots, Jim
I´m thinking of buying the PMDG B1900, too, is it really worth the money???

and out of what program do you get the map down the left side??

safe landings!

[EHM-1617 Iain]

That would be a payware excellent addon, FSNavigator. It is amazing, I am thinking of getting it. Sids/Stars, and a brilliant automated flight planner. Go to this page

[EHM-1507 Manuel]

Thanks, I would try it tonight, if I got the time!


Greets!

[EHM-1500 Jim]

Manu, thanks for the comments - the B1900D is worth the money in my opinion - only costs about£15. It's real easy to fly (unlike the PMDG 737) and has a lovely VC, good sounds and nice handling. As Iain said, the map is FSNavigator which i also think is worth every penny - allows you to plan routes using SIDS and STARS and it also links with the planes Autopilot so it will fly it for you!!
