Sad news indeed. I was luck enough to see Pink Floyd live on several occasions, and they were always stunningly good. Rick Wright's haunting keyboards was central to the Floyd's overall sound. I am going to create a memorial base for him, to be located (where else?) on the Dark Side of the...

XR5 laser tanks. These are really very good ! Cheers Gattispilot. I've attached a zip file which should make them loadable on the XR5 Vanguard. You are limited to slots 7 8 9 17 18 and 19, but that still allows a drop of 4 laser tanks to where the firepower is required ! Image files for the...

I am sure the tin-foil hats on the net will claim that one was faked as well.

I agree 100%. She is both a beauty to fly and gorgeous to look at it. Frankly, I think I am in love!

I had the same results with Beta 1D. I feel it has improved to the point of not being a major concern, and I shall now leave the new sounds enabled.

I too get the sound distortion on callouts at full engine thrust. I have an onboard sound chip (Avance AC'97 Soundmax). Tried playing the WAV files on their own and they sound perfectly clear. Similarly when the new custom engine sounds are disabled in the XR2RavenstarPrefs.cfg the distortion...

XR2 Beta 1C Have finally got around to trying out 1C. This is on a completely clean installation, when I load the landed at Brighton Beach scenario, and try to deploy the Turbopack I get a CTD. I have tried this with the pack for Kara, and the standard Turbopack as well. I have opened the nose...

I'll second that - Cheers! Downloading Beta 1C now.

XR2 Beta 1B flight testing continues. See screenshot 1 & 2. A test flight from Brighton to the Cape was set up with just 2 crew on board. I too have grown fond of the pointy bits on my co-pilot Kara. The objectives were simple. Test out IMFD for the trip home from the Moon, and then...

XR / ESS I have just looked at my "ESS_station.Zip" down load file and can confirm that the ESS.CFG file is in the wrong place. It should go into the Config\Vessels folder but actually unzips directly into the Config folder. I had relocated the ESS.cfg file to its correct place...

Great Britain - 15 Gold medals at the Olympics ? I must be dreaming!

Thank you Doug! I was begining to wonder whether this was a figment of my imagination!. I would not swear on it but I believe that the wheel displacement happens at the moment of touchdown as the strut compression animation happens. I have been so taken back and anxious to grab a screen shot...

XR2 gear graphics Snapped it again. See screenshot. The rear wheels are affected too. The nose wheel strut is also just visible to the far left on the image. The scenario running had only the XR2 and two Ummu crewmembers EVA'ing on the lunar surface. I had Level 9 moon textures installed. I...

XR2 beta 1B Visual error? This visual mixup has now happened 3 times in the past 3 or 4 days of intensive testing. See attachment "Screenshot1". The tyres appear to roll upwards into the hull whilst the wheel struts remain in place. This has happened only during landing (at touch down), on...

I too love the power available. I tend to throttle back to 40% whilst STILL rolling down the runway. On climbout I alter the throttle to keep speed under Mach 0.8 whilst climbing at 40-50deg up to 20km+. Levelling off to a climb at 10deg I bring the throttles up to accelerate to Mach 3.5 at...
