Friday 2010-12-17 Dev. update and Discussion

[XR-A]

looks pretty real to me....did you use real film footage to see what the exhaust does in real flight..?? I like the smoke effect in the last 2 pics...this is truely going to be a 1st rate flight simulation.......XR-A

Thanks for the pics, the update is excellent! I've noticed that the propellor blades are not visible in the first set of pictures with the Hurricane (aside from pic #2). In the second set, the propellors look more like those of IL-2. Is this a selectable effect? If so, it could be very handy for old-photo-style screenshots (it would also answer my question from last week's thread).

Cheers and thanks,

The first picture in Oleg's second post shows throttle, prop, and comp (compression I assume?).

If I am right:
I am guessing that the readouts shown are selectable to some extent. IE. you can pick what you want the read out to be.

I wonder if the number of readouts will be limited to three at a time.

If "comp" is manifold pressure, this points once again to truly complex engine management!

Since there is no value for "comp" in the picture, I am wondering what units will be used (or will it be some sort of percentage based on throttle and mix?).

OR....maybe I am wrong about what "comp" in the picture actually stands for.

Exhaust Flames: I think every other person on this board cares more about it than I do lol. They look good and I sort of look forward to trying to use the colors to figure out just how my engine is running.

My first guess was compression (maybe something to do with different engine types and program modeling processes inside it) - but then again, we won't know for sure until Oleg tells us.

COMP - if MP is for Manifold Pressure, what does CO stand for?

I hardly believe that pilots could manipulate Manifold vacuum (or engine vacuum) other by different throttle settings.

Just about OT
Pretty 'Flamey', probably not a good reference.
I love the smell of 5 star in the morning, just not on my meat.

Ok wait, before people start criticizing Oleg because we can see the flames in daylight.....

If Oleg had showed these pics at night, we couldn't see the plane. Since we can see flames in daylight in these pictures, it seems obvious (at least to me) that he has turned something "up" so that we can see the planes AND the flames at the same time.

Just a guess of course.
