Concorde cockpit redesign

Real Concorde afterburners :
... and model :

I stand corrected - good work!

(You still might want to turn down brightness a tad - it looks okay in comparison with the photo, but nighttime pictures are often done with very sensitive CCD settings and /or fairly long exposure times and tend to show brighter than the eye usually perceives things).

I successfully added ALS landing lights in external view based on Cessna 172p Nasal light-manager.

Hi,

I downloaded from the above link, but I'm not seeing the same cockpit as in the images. Some indicators are "flat" with no text and just black.

Am I required to use a version higher than 2017.2.1, and is there a way I can check if the installation of the aircraft is correct?

(I used the green "clone or download" option and chose "download zip". I unzipped it into the "Aircraft" folder and got rid of "-master" in the folder name.)

I unzipped it into the "Aircraft" folder

What OS and what folder are you putting this in? Are you sure your "launcher" is pointing to that folder?

[Lydiot]

Sorry, win7 64bit.

I will double check the path, but i don't recall installing it before....

Lydiot :
Picture please...
2017.2.1. should be OK, but I am not absolutly sure.

EDIT :
You need ALS renderer and enabled Atmosferic light scattering in the Rendering options.

[bugman]

Thanks for the reply. ALS is always on on my system.

I'll post a picture later, but basically I can't see any text at all on some of the buttons.

It sounds a bit like one of my issues with ALS and Intel. If you have Intel, that's probably why. If not, you possibly need a newer version of FlightGear?
Thanks

My current machine is an old AMD cpu with NVidia card. Some advanced models like the 707 shows up and functions fine.

[legoboyvdlp]

Okay. That should work.
It may be that the effects used by V12 are not compatiable with pre 2017.3 versions, otherwise, no idea.

[V12]

I need screenshots. On old nVidia 750 GTX and AMD FirePro is all OK. I'm using 3 standard ALS spotlights used on many other models. It should not be a problem. But I don't know how are that spotlights are supported in 2017.2.1.

But I don't know how are that spotlights are supported in 2017.2.1.

They are - they're fairly old technology.

Lydiot :
Can You see some like this ?



If YES, then You have trouble with shader settings in the Rendering options. Set all parameters to maximum.

Yes, that's pretty much what it looks like.

In "View", "Rendering Options", "Shader Effects" I already have all maxxed out. Every single one. ALS is on.

[V12]

Hmmm, it looks like graphics driver related problem. When You switch to model view or external view, can You see environmental reflections on the fuselage ?

[Lydiot]

Not sure how detailed the reflections are that you see, but I basically see a change in 'reflection' as I change the weather conditions. If I set them to cloudy then the fuselage is dark and if it's clear weather then I get the shinier metallic reflection. As I pan around it looks as if I'm getting reflections of clouds, but of course they're not super-defined.

So external view seems fine to me.
