Classic British Flight Sim

Hi Ed,

Echoing Rick's words, a very nice vid, in fact one of the best I've seen. Nicely done indeed.

Yup.. agree with that 100% ;-)

I actually went and bought it (Edinburgh Extreme) last night but have yet to install it. I'll get around to it soon ;-)

EDIT Installed it this afternoon and am very impressed. Didn't install the statics as I don't want them messing up my rather older AI. Not sure I should have installed the traffic(ground) as it makes the airport often look like a race track but this can be sorted. Lot's of things to see, lovely buildings and ground textures, no tearing.. a step above Glasgow IMHO. Framerates are excellent.. better than the stock Jersey and Guernsey!! If only all his airfields (especially the CI) were to this quality. I'd bin FSX in a second and use the 500gig HD for a fresh install of FS9 ;-)

Hi Ed.Brilliant Video.Heathrow or Gatwick to Edinburgh is one my favourite flights but I usually use the LDS 767.What were you using for ATC voices?The Edinburgh scenery that I use is by Ian Gallacher.Best Wishes EricT

Peter....Do you "touch up" your screenies mate ? I don't see any jaggies at all.... If not .....wow...

Tony

Just looks like high resolution to me Tony :think:

They're always nice and clear

Garry

Hmmm i am stuck with 1440 x 900 widescreen and don't get the full benefit.....But how come i see his screenshots lovely and mine come out with jaggies??? :brick:

New monitor ?

Tony

No.. and considering Peter uses 'Application Controlled' for AA.. my guess is the monster system and 21" Diamondtron monitor have something to do with it

Yikes....I think i might just take the plunge and get a new 24 inch LCD tomorrow.... :yipeee: No wife to ask now.... :tab: Hmmm mouse here >>> and blu thingy here<<< in sync LOL

Lovely Vid but i was at Heathrow yesterday as i live half a mile away and when the 757 taxis onto the active can you see concorde in the background ? Shes been moved to the maintenance hangars off Hatton Cross for her prep to go into Terminal 5 soon..... waste !!!!

Hello Eric, I used to use Ian's EDI.... but I really like Gary's new EDI.

I use default ATC ...accelerated and europeanised by editvoicepak. For the video I simply editted out the Captain's voice and repeated what was said using my own voice spoken through a walkie talkie!

If the only thing that MS had changed in FSX was to make ATC have different accents in different areas I would have been a happy man! ...as is my copy of FSX is in pristine condition but gathering dust alongside a copy of FS2000.

Hello Tony, 'tis true Concorde has been moved....but in my virtual world I wanna see Concorde! :yipeee:

The OLD radar? Good grief, I remember when it was the NEW radar! Edinburgh didn't have radar at all until the late-60s when it was installed to help with the increased traffic numbers expected for the 1970 Commonwealth Games.

I still remember the headline of the 'Flight' article. It read, "Edinburgh To Get Radar For Games". That caused a great deal of hilarity within the ATC community for many months!.
