• 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.

In test at this moment: general bug fixes, but containing the following (from Steve's blog)

Should shortly be available for download

1. Improved LightField - should work much more reliably
2. AMD shows correct AA options
3. Improvements to shadowing of FS8 aircraft
4. UK2000 PAPI lights should work with v2.0 transparency enabled
5. New option to correct Axis Colour (User Request)
6. New Option to hide clouds that appear black on texture change - experimental


Product Updates:

The recommended update procedure is to uninstall and then install the new version as follows:

1). Uninstall the libraries using the option in DX10Controller.
2). Open Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs and remove the SteveFx DX10SceneryFixer.
3). Launch the downloaded FSS Installer for the new version and follow the instructions, reentering your key if necessary.
4). Launch DX10 Controller and Install the libraries.
5). Read the Manual!

Note that the 1.4 FSS Uninstaller removes the directory containing your profiles – if you want to retain them please copy them elsewhere before starting the un-installation process.

Enjoy!

Hmmm "reply with quote" doesn't seem to be working!

Anyway - thanks for the heads-up. I hope Steve announces it on his blog when it appears.

What's "New option to correct Axis Colour"? Does it turn all Germans green? :victorious:

It's the Axis display is a cheap version of a HSI! From the Views>>Help section within the sim:

Axis Indicators
An axis indicator makes it easy to determine pitch and bank angles relative to the horizon without having to look at the attitude indicator; real-world pilots often use a smudge on the windscreen for the same purpose. The axis indicators in Flight Simulator are a great tool when you're learning basic flying maneuvers. They're also very useful if you hide the instrument panel by pressing W.


Using the Axis indicator drop-down list, you can display one of three axis indicators on the windscreen of your aircraft:



  • 4 dots
  • Small V
  • Large V
