Xmas Cleanout 3

[Ex ANZ Eng]

they just keep on coming.....lol





















still more............

[Splitpin]

bloody hell .... what have i done

[chopper_nut]

Sixth and ninth shot... Is that a condensation effect in the engines or is that lighting?

[Ian Warren]

The driving force is the vapour

[chopper_nut]

Pretty good isn't it

One thing I study is the effects , people miss a lot and they really do not use their eyeballs.

Its condensation, a fairly new add on called 777 Immersion.
If you look at shot five, you can just make out the vortex going into the engine coming up from a damp taxiway.
Immersion even shows brake dust coming off the landing gear, it adds a real nice touch to the PMDG 777.
Its worth a look see.......

On a side note, I remember seeing the 777-200 demonstrator when it came to AKL when I was working in engineering.
I was down by where the taxiway from the hangars to the main taxiway is, the 777 was holding for about 5 mins and I was blown away by the vortex going into the engines, was quite amazing.

I didn't see that at first. It's amazing what is being done now with the sim. Pity it isn't a global thing. I did see the tip vorticies on the contrails which is pretty cool. When I was working at Wellington, I saw a whole heap of that sort of stuff on various aeroplanes. Unfortunately, I was always in a position where I couldn't get a photo of it.

I like their effects, just makes it a bit more realistic.
From what I have read, the next model they are doing is the PMDG 73 series.

[chopper_nut]

That's kind of the next step for the sim. What would be really cool is having the vortex effect when helicopters fly through cloud or smoke

Or C-130 or Corsairs off a carrier deck .... that would be COOL!

[chopper_nut]

Hell yes. I guess somebody will do it eventually.

[Ian Warren]

Hell yes. I guess somebody will do it eventually.

I think its the same with ocean effects .. creating a working moving Ocean within a radius of a Carrier for example.

[chopper_nut]

Haha yeah, you never see the Atlantic looking like the ocean in FS

[Ian Warren]

I am very surprised this area has not been addressed, develop a radius and weather to suit , the thing is, It would have to be for affect only and seriously not rocking the boat so to speak.

[chopper_nut]

But how cool would it be if it could rock the boat...

[Ian Warren]

Done some testing with ocean affect .. 'Rock the Boat' really is currently a pain in the behind , one off those thing still in its infancy.
