Aerosoft F-14 Extended Released

PS: Thinking about it a little more. There is a gear lever lock switch just to the left of the lever, if that was accidentally flipped when you were trying to click the lever, then it might explain why it was stuck.

Had the same issue yesterday with the throttle levers. Engine power was increasing but levers not moving. Reloaded FSX and everything was working...

Just had a little succesfull flight from Bremen to Hamburg and now everything seems to be Ok.

Really a great addon. :redfire:
 
is the serial number the same as the original install. I getting an error saying my email or serial# is wrong when i go to install it and I'm taking it right off the invoice email i got from aerosoft.
anyone else having that problem?

No I had no issues using my original serial number. The installer is case sensitive, check your mail address again maybe.
 
Just downloaded the update, which probably is more than just an update considering all the improvements! Glad to see AS making a good product even better!
 
Yes, I triple checked the email,which was sent from Aerosoft with my paid receipt. Made sure I copied the serial number exactly off my receipt,(several times ) and still no joy. Now just waiting to hear back from Aerosoft support, hopefully they can find out what the problem is
 
I think he was referring to making sure you had your e-mail spelled correctly, I managed to mix up some of the letters in my e-mail the first time I entered it into the installer.
 
Yes, as I 1st stated, I TRIPLE-CHECKED it both email & serial # are as what's on my paid receipt
 
I had the same issue
When you copy your serial number make sure you are not copying a space when you do it. I think if you have the cursor ahead of the number by a space it will copy it.
That is what seemed to work for me

I did have the same problem. Check the product download page at your Aerosoft account. An updated serial would be there that should work. It did for me.
 
JohnC,

I saw on the Aerosoft F-14X Support Forum where you guys made another update and uploaded it on Friday. I uninstalled the 2.0 version and re-downloaded 2.1 and installed it. On my end the previous FPS drop issue is now gone and in general, the FPS stays near or at the target (32). Looking at what you guys changed I could not discern any specific point regarding FPS related items (for FSX) but again, there's a very noticeable different in the smoothness of FPS from this version and the first F-14X Extended release.
 
There was a pretty big section of C++ code that got whacked because it was unnecessary from a user perspective (a development codeset that was used to monitor controller performance). It's definitely possible that it was eating up some processing power or hooking into the sim in a manner that slowed things down.
 
enjoying the f14 extended, great job by the developers.

just uploaded the vc night light mod to aerosoft's lib http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/files/file/3822-aerosoft_f14_vcnightlightzip/

V2.1 loss of FPS

I downloaded the F-14X Extended version 2.1. However, I am only getting between 10-20 fps (which is considerably under what I got with my previous F-14X version). I have a very strong computer (Intel i7-4960X 6 core 4.1 GHz and Nvidia GTX Titan Z with GDDR5). Is there any mitigation for this unsatisfactory loss of fps?

I have reported this to Aerosoft.

Bill

Hopefully you can get satisfaction from the support forum. I was going to suggest if you were using P3D v3, try the 'NoMirror' model option. I gained at least 10 fps without mirrors (I presume this is a setup specific scenario, since apparently not everybody sees this). Without mirrors in P3D and in FSX Gold, my fps is very acceptable (smooth and high 20s plus) in areas of moderate scenery complexity.
