Released: Aerosoft F-16

It would be quite interesting to see if this gets better FPS than the Bush Hawk...:kilroy:

Anyways, definitely a much anticipated release...:ernae:
 
Looks superb:applause: Maybe I´ll take the plunge, even though I prefer low and slow. Yep, would be interesting to know how it works performance-wise.

For me, the performance was pretty shabby (FPS wasn't too bad, but the stuttering was making it pretty unusable). But then I turned self-shadowing off, and the stuttering was gone. Is there any reason self-shadowing would have such a massive hit on performance on this model only? I suppose it's complex, but you wouldn't have thought that that feature in particular would be what causes the stuttering, as opposed to simply having to load all the different polygons and many textures!

But with the shadows off, it's fine. Obviously there's some hit, but it's not a major one (on my system at least). Considering the complexity of the model, they've done very well. Hopefully there's a fix for the shadow issue, though.
 
I only struggle with this add-on with everything else maxed, using my normal flying settings (as per the Bush Hawk thread), I don't have a problem with her. As for self shadowing, I personally think it looks terrible and gives me a performance hit with any model. Why the F-16 should give you a greater hit with shadows on, I'm not sure, maybe because the rest of it is already taxing your resources? If you have continuous problems, I'd advise hitting the Aerosoft support forum.
 
downloading as we speak, after reading the above i wonder if my nemeth ch-53 stutters with high fps because of my self shadowing, hmmmm sorry to get off topic, back to your regularly scheduled program.

As for the f-16 it looks very impressive, ill report on how it runs with my soon to be 2 years old rig
 
Yep, I bought it...

...and downloaded it too. Thus far, nothing but CTDs everytime I select an F-16.

We shall see...

If this thing flies as good as it looks, at $33.00 it will be a steal.

The manual is impressive. Looks like the best radar and HUD around.
 
Low and slow myself (I'd only crash an F16) but it releases the team to finish the Cat (hopefully before Xmas).
 
Yeppers...

...I uninstalled it, and re-installed it, and all I'm still getting is a CTD. My other aircraft load with no problem (even after the install), but the F-16 just kills FSX.

- Twotter with no airstairs
- HH-60 with no paintkit

I'm not surprised, and I'm definitely not impressed. Guess we'll see if this happens to anyone else.

Ahhh, thought I recognized it. Been there. Got fired by Rumsfield because the wuss couldn't handle my 2 G turns in a King Air. Heck, he said he wanted a better view. Politicians!
 
Looks awesome! Thanks for the heads up Nick! Great screenshots also.

Anymore VC shots? That, I think, is the best part of this plane is the VC. I cant beleive how good it looks.

:ernae: :applause: :ernae:

Please post your problems on the F-16 support forum as linked to above, perhaps there are others who are waiting to see if this happens to somebody else.

Edit: Sorry I saw you did, I was just looking in the F-16 support forum. I did suggest above that you re-download Kent, uninstall the original and then re-install the new download. Anyhow, I'm not the developer or a tester, so I'll leave support to the appropriate place.
