There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Here ya go Rog..
Doesn't look like there's any glass there to me. The second shot also shows another phenomena.. blue flames coming from the exhausts with the engine off (just loaded). It goes out when the engine starts. Saw this with v1 too.

Yes mate.. uninstalled and deleted. I've checked add/remove programs in case I installed the wrong version but it says FSX v1.1. Had a look at one of JK's repaints (Essex) and thought I couldn't see any glass reflection so tried a default paint and there's definitely no glass. D/L from JF

This is not a deal killer and I likely would not have noticed without someone mentioning it. I tried DX10 once, and decided to stick with DX9. Nothing was said on the website or in the manual of this feature. Personally, I have difficulty accepting having to change FSX parameters just for one aircraft, but that is my opinion. I do like the Helldiver and will try DX10 at your recommendation, so we'll see....To get the other effects would probably need another set of models. We have chosen to build for DX10 and P3D as we believe most people, with the advanced add-ons, especially in scenery, are using DX10. All that is required is to turn on the preview before flying.
Ok boys... I run the help desk. Some of the people on this forum and others are having trouble with online purchases. In particular updates and upgrades. ( and yes I will add this post to the FAQ's ). If you are interested if an upgrade/update is free or if you're going to receive a notification of the upgrade then please read on. If not then I am sure it is beer o'clock somewhere in the world
For those that dont like reading look at the TL;DR.
- If you buy from a store ( AH or others ) then your order is processed and you are in the database as a customer .
- If you used a legitimate or real email address then this email address is used along with your name to recognise you as a purchaser.
- When/if we (AH) release an update/upgrade or discount for previous purchasers then we upload the files to our vendors and our store.
- The vendors are notified at THE SAME TIME as the customers of AH. Which is immediately the file is safely stored and tested for corruption.
- For you to receive notifications of your free update ( emails from AH have a big fat green download button in the actual email !! ) you need to allow the stores (AH or others ) emails to get through any anti-spam/junk filters.
- If you hear about an upgrade through facebook or other means and think you havent been notified ( especially those AH customers who are notified immediately ) please check your junk email folders.
You wont ever be required to pay for updates/patches or service packs from AH ( see the b17 G for example ). Please dont buy another product then ask for a refund afterwards. It actually costs us to refund a product. Not a lot but it can be significant if it happens enough times.
TL;DR
Dont rebuy a product and ask for a refund afterwards to get an upgrade. Your information can be resent and actually was sent. Check your email spam/junk folders. Our FAq has most of this info and it will be added to in a moment. Drink beer.
I've noticed a bug on the front page of AH. So that is what I am fixing ( hopefully ).
I can't find DX10 fixer anywhere. Apparently its been withdrawn from sale? Anyways, I gave it a try (DX10) and the scenery looked horrible. Too many parameters to change, and that's without the recommended DX10 fixer. Got glass for the Helldiver, however. Sheesh. I'm ready for a brew.I have DX10 fixer, but I don't use it. Idon't like the flickering it causes on some scenery and some models. Apart from that: I think that most people stil use DX9.

I've run Dx10 on the 770 for four years and the upgrade to the 1070 just allowed me to move some sliders more to the right
The Fixer is £20 and cloud shadows £10...easy choice
