NZFF

Well got it today im running a p4 3.0ghz h/t with 1gb ram 256 overclock asus 6600
and it works sweet at 20 flp soild ,ive loaded in landclass /realnz auckland welly old godzone photo real and the trees what can i say awesome and have all the scenery settings cranked ...
i did get some bad flps in auckland real but i think thats more to do with double building etc 2x skytower but even then i got 12-18 flps
im really impressed with it all its going to be big ,,ppls with lower systems they are lieing on the box you need lots of everything to run this to its full ,,id say min what my puter is anything less well we dont wont to relive memorys do we ...
id like to hear others comments on there install etc ... how its running
oh and if anyone has realnz what files can i remove to get rid of fsx default aucks etc ...
one of kind
mike

Similar sentiments, I did put in the autogen patches I mentioned in my demo post, but have found it running very smoothly. I dont have add-ons to install at this stage. here are some screenies showing settings, note that my AI settings are low....





And this is the result in the sim....












If people want to see specific locations etc feel free to post requests.

yeah im still playing with settings but i did forget to mention that realnz auckland is missing harden surfaces for the helipads etc... but im still to see how scenery tools the i have can be used in fsx probley very little ... great shots dude

Only two quick requests:

Wanganui and Omaka.




Pretty please.




Oh, and btw:


YOU LUCKY SODS!!!!

Can you show us some pics of christchurch please

this is a heli mission at the end

nice boat what a dream for any rotorhead

wanganui for you

chch above and below


cheers if ive made any mistakes on where the shots are taken sorry these are with rbe landclass addon,, if you use default you are only going to see that brown landclass yuck!!
hope this helps guys
mike

Nice pics. I am really impressed with how the buildings look. Take a look at this post , these guys did a microlight trip from Nelson to Blenheim. The houses and back yards on approach at Blenheim look great !

Stuff to land on - excellent.

Not sure about the water colour around the boat though. But over Wangavegas it looks good.

Any chance of a shot or two from NZPM and NZMC?

NZMC and Mount Cook





NZPM and city

wellington realnz looks great with the water but im having troubles with frame rates down to 10 flp but the water textures are cranked and other setting up so with a bit of playing around and getting things right this will be really cool in fsx
in theses pics nzreal welly /rbe landclass/mesh/
mike


EDIT: i think my problems with the addon lay with the way ive added the addons as i didnt want to double up with scenerys i just added them from fs9 folders in d: drive but that far away from c: and with water etc.... all up and not removing other default building this could add up to the bad frames ,water looks good from lots of different angles ,and i like the improved detail of textures though out , one thing i have to mention but is the handle of the aircraft ive found its changed maybe even slower respond to input ,elephants and missions are cool but a1 is heavy on frames as usual ...

looks like Iam going to have to by FSX one of this days

no rush since it was only released in NZ yesterday

fsx tweaks links found these over at hover and they have alot more info as those guys got those pre realease copys etc.. so have had abit more time on it to work things out

Hi Guys, well it looks good, however my FS9 with Ground Environment,Active Sky, FS Water,Flight Environment,and having an addon scenery for everywhere I fly FSX looks like the bundling of all these things and releasing. I know FSX is better than that tho with it's various new engines and less stutters and that.
I will get it eventually,it's really encouraging that you're getting good performance from it Natas and with all my addons on top of FSX should be amazing,but for now there's still plenty of life left in FS9 for me, I really want to focus on hardware at the mo and grab the software later. Very encouraging tho nonetheless.

Mate those screenies were making my mouth water lol looking great Mike I think I will have to start saving even more to get me my pc sooner.
You've opened a can of worms now hahahahaha.

Just a note about the Shadders tweak. The recommendation is turning shaders off and youll see a big increase in performance. This is very true as I discovered after dutifully using Riva to shut down those pesky shaders, and voila! 22 FPS in London Heathrow with ALL sliders maxed minus traffic.

Whats the pay off? Well, pretty much everything that makes FSX FSX. Anything that has shine is now dull, if its wet, no more slick wet runways, no cockpit reflections in the windows in VC mode, no shine on any surface that has it (fuel tankers, leading edges) and the water looks like matt blue blurk!

So, while you get improved performance with shaders turned off, you get crap visuals which in my view dont make it worth it at all. Having said all that I will try with shaders 1.4 forced to see what thats like, I shall let you know.

I'll post a few pics as well to show the difference, then at least those considering this tweak can make an informed decision and not get caught in the 'this is the smoking gun' furore doing the forums.

UPDATE:

Firstly, shaddows in the VC are done using textures, so i was mistaken in my earlier note as I simply couldnt see them due to the light conditions at the time, so thats ok. I have noted however that turning shaders off increases performance by about 100%, hense why this tweak is causing so mch interest. Shaders forced at 1.4 made no difference. As I mentioned, you loose all the shine and water effects this way. From my perspective, if you turn shaders off, you might as well stay with FS9, you can get some great texture replacements that give similar water effects etc and better FPS.
