Holy thread revival, Batman!

I just have to bring it up again. Will never let it go, I guess...... Was talking to another pilot friend the other day. He's owned a Beech Debonair for many years. Okay, it's just 225 HP versus 300 for the A-36. Both planes have a near identical wing span. Naturally, I had to ask about torque, and the need to use aileron and perhaps trim to counter it. His response, was that it's right rudder thats required on the takeoff run, and just use any aileron pressure to keep the wings level.....if required. As to a sensation of roll, and perhaps some trim to counter it? The answer is no. Geoff Applegate at Avsim, also owned a Debonair. He said the same thing. He seldom touched the aileron trim. Granted, there is a 75 HP difference here. But when another friend, said it was all rudder, when flying the 2700 HP single engine Skyraider in Vietmam...............and not aileron, I can only speculate. The Skyraider pilot specifically told me............aileron is the wrong control. It's rudder! BTW, this same pilot has also been a flight instructor for many years. P.S. --- I just happened to end up on this thread again, in my continual search of "torque and airplanes". The never ending quest..

Amen In theory yes (as its always possible to edit data structures), in practice no (and I really mean NO ).

Fly? I can't get off the ground. Far too happy to just sit here and listen to this thing's fantastic engine and blade sounds.

Ok will follow your advices guys, Sorry for the bad reaction, Thanks

In KGEG Spokane.

Sorry, riccardo ... but a few questions / comments brought this thread "a bit" off topic ... And of course it will be free (just a s free as all my other work - like the previous v1 - was) ... I just like to call it donationware (but that means effectively: free).

Props to you, Kris. Hueyman may not get it, but I say majority of all us others do. Thank you for your sensible posts time and time again!

Colin, do you know how a Global Scenery is generated? I mean, especially keeping in mind how big our planet is, how diverse it is, and how complex it would be to cater for every possible local specialty? The thing is, that we need to have ways to create it all in "automated" ways (without too much manual intervention), where we have to rely on existing (or usually improved / processed) data sources and complex algorithms to translate it in a - here comes the word Ben highlighted - plausible world. Everything else is NOT possible / feasible when you need to take care of an entire planet. BUT of course this doesn't stops anyone to create his own, regional sceneries, where he can take care of every tiny detail he wants to (the X-Plane engine and scenery system is open enough to give you almost every possibility you might dream of - but its of course a lot work, which doesn't comes via magic) Now for the trees / forests ... Their type is not decided by biogeographic zones (which we have quite a lot on our planet ... especially if one takes a regionalized and not generic approach). That would be too diverse, if one wanted to do it in a perfect way .... For example take the WWF Global 200 ecoregion classification ... yes, it divides out planet in 200 different ecoregions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_200 This would mean, we would need to handcraft for each of those regions an own set of different forest (sparse and dense versions of deciduous, mixed and coniferous forests etc. ) ... and try to make enough (different) textures of all possible trees there. Definitely not an easy task (I know, because I deed the XP8/9 forest sceneries and had help from a good friend with crafting all the textures and forests .... some info about that is still on my site: http://www.alpilotx.net/downloads/old-forest-downloads/ and http://www.alpilotx.net/documents/ ) ... so, thats why we go the plausible approach, and "only" work with climate zones for the forests (and for the ground textures too). These are derived from high res - real - climate data and are usually a combination of temperature and precipitation zones. This is then also the reason why you might see the same forests on Hawaii and Oregon ... obviously you have similar climates in the given location OR that texture was used in more than one of the climate sets (it might be understandable, that we did not - until now at least - try to reproduce thousands of different tree species )

The Value of his post are to inform people of what can be expected in the update. I see no reason to be upset by this. I am flying my Saab with 660gtx with HRD on with FPS's running 20-25. Also a Titan will not help, Its your CPU not GPU fyi. You are comparing running a 13 year old flight sim to X-plane 10 with an add-on that is equivalent to a program, on it's own, running inside another program. My old setup which was 6 years old ran FSX -Orbx etc etc with no problems also, but had a hell of a time with X-plane 10. So comparing the 2 is irrelevant. It sad that we live in the "I want it now" age. This is the cause of so much crap that is put out on the mark before it ready. Just be glad he is giving you any kind of update. Which is a lot more than I can say for most publishers / Devs in the gaming industry. I find it funny that you are mentioning spamming f5 to find out about an update. That is just pure insanity to me and I believe these people have a slight problem. This reminds me of people waiting for beta key invite emails from blizzard (by refreshing their inbox) and crying on the forums when they don't get one. LOL!

That may well just have been the most bizarre question ever asked on here.

Just a one time thing. We switched how license files are read in preparation for the Saab so that people didn't have to activate all three variants separately and be annoyed. The code is supposed to just work without issue on the CRJ, but some have reported the same as you and this simply updates the CRJ to the new licensing scheme. One-time deal and you're good.
