Rainy morning sortie

[Timmo]

I recently purchased Nigels Skyhawk but havn't had much time to fly it yet- I decided to tonight but only got 10 minutes into the flight when FSX crashed. Doh!
Anyway, here are some shots.....a early morning sortie up to Ruapehu in an A4-K













...and then crash!

Ive heard there is a buggy issue with this aircraft ,like textures not loading on the wings for ages and putting alot of pressure on the background scenery loading mesh and landclass included , ,did any of these other things happen to you ?
ill look into getting it myself once a patch has been done and when i have spare cash , just have too its NZ

Texture loads seem ok. The issues i've identified are

A/c is very unstable when taxiing
Z sorting issue in cockpit on seat
Could use more polys around air intake and canopy frame
Perhaps a bit more compression on the suspension would be nice.....I seem to remember the front strut really compression under brakes
Textures could be higher res (or perhaps just sharpened to bring out detail)

All in all, given the price I think it is a good buy but I agree, a patch to fix some of these small issues would be good.

I purchased this when it came out and found the same as Tim but also on my computer it was quite hard on the fps so I have been unable to keep flying(3.3 cpu, agp 512 ram graphics card and 2gb ram). There is supposed to be an update soon, but for the price I was still very happy.
