Lisbon LPPT/LIS to Ostend-Brugge EBOS/OST

[luxair1997andTAP]

How you did that?

[luxair1997andTAP]

Hi! Where u had the Luzair and euroatlantic airways traffic?

[edetroit]

@luxair1997andTAP I just made it myself.

[luxair1997andTAP]

@edetroit amazing! and what do you did that??

[Srandik32]

Very nice video,good job! 5/5

[tlpessanha26]

Your panels are the best... !!! How can we get then??

Congractsss!!!

[Lufthansajumbo]

Very good Video, it's new to see a DC-8 in FS9 ;)

Is the DC-8 from Aerosim good (Funktionality etc.)?? Please tell me.

Thanks Kay

[edetroit]

Hello Kay, I am not really the right person to ask as I never used the Aerosim DC-8 panel....all I wanted is the model.

[4ky123]

Hey ED id love to buy your old computer when your done with it. LOL

[tunicana]

HI ED

please i have the XFX 8800GT Alpha Dog XXX model and i have no antialiasing mode in fs2004 what driver version do you use?

thanks in advance

[edetroit]

I'm on holiday now...but I'm pretty sure it is the latest one.

[kramerdc9]

Hey Ed, love your work. Based on your love for old aircraft, was wondering why you don't have any 727's- or do you?

[edetroit]

I will get to the 727 in the end. The L-10, DC-10, B707 were all part of my childhood....I never really knew the 727.

Still it is definitely a golden oldie along with the fantastic TU-154.

[eppel090]

I love to see these strange airplanes!

[stevop21]

wow, i love the spotters view!

[dva511]

how do u make us sim look so realistic? by the way where did u got the plane plz reply =]

[edetroit]

Well FS9 is a good start (I find FSX looks like a cartoon), then everything I do is photoreal (aircraft textures, panel etc)

The model is by Aerosim (the freighters model is the best by far)

[dva511]

can u do a tutorial of how u make ur addons photoreal? or do u have a website so ppl can download thems?

[edetroit]

Search Edward Cox at avsim(dot)com

[dva511]

k thanks ed =]

[dem0npain]

does ur photoreal panels has night lighting ??

[edetroit]

Yes.

[dbarl64]

Airport Traffic is very crisp and detailed

I have just flight traffic nowhere near that sharp.

[edetroit]

My AI is all home made. I look for the best AI models (The L-10 AI's are in fact the Aerosim model ith DXT3 photoreal paints) . I do photoreal paints for the normal AI models also.

I need my AI to look damn good otherwise I may as well not bother.

[dbarl64]

Ok right, They do look darn good think I need to learn how to do that because just cant find some liveries

I need. a simple one being a Cayman Airways DC 3

circa 1966. They only had one, that i used to ramp handle often but it got sold. I do have a photo of it the real one

I took back in 1968

[sphyratiburo]

Great Vid dude.

Are u using converted REX2.0 clouds? looks real..

[edetroit]

Using FEX cloud textures.

[Husker627]

another top notch vid Ed. enjoy your holiday, safe travels.

[edetroit]

Thankyou Jeff!, have you got your rig up and running yet?.....just bought a new one myself.

[dbarl64]

I mean crew.

I wonder why all the people in the sceneries in general

have such ragged blurred edges and look like postage stamps "In General" seems like they could make higher quality people as in other Video Games

[edetroit]

Because the definition of the people bitmap is sooooo small. I editted my FSSE to make custom people. FSSE turned out to be such a pile of poop...but if someone did it properly it could be very useful.

[dbarl64]

Ok Ed thanks.

[dbarl64]

Is this full blown Fraps Im still using Demo becuase was afraid something better might come along to replace it. I use FS recorder as well.

Im wondering do you use the straight Fraps clips when you edit vids with Sony Vegas or convert them.

If you dont mind

[edetroit]

I found a registered copy of Fraps provides much better frame rates.

I import the Fraps clips into Sony Vegas...edit them...then Sony Vegas converts the end result into MPeg4

[dbarl64]

ok Thanks ed MPEG4 that sounds good

I will try that. Nice DC8 engine sounds

they have that particular trademark whine like the real thing.

[dbarl64]

Nice footage of Paxs on the stair ed

[askedenseje]

Hey Ed! Great Vid!!.. But could you do some emergencys, its getting a little routine ;)

[edetroit]

Routine eh? I just had a quick glance at your latest video. 8 minutes of looking at the same wing shot with some lame music.....I think it's maybe your vids that need spicing up. lol

[askedenseje]

Im sorry! I was not rude!

Yeah.. I SUCK AT MAKING FS VIDS.. Thats why i stopped.. This was not an insult. OK?

This is what i (viewer) wants to see...

[infinityjet]

Actually Ed, I'm sort of with him. Don't get me wrong, your videos are really cool and I love watching them, but I think a lot of people (including me) would very much like to see an emergency or something a bit different if possible.

Great vid once again though!

[edetroit]

No probs guys. I have bought a new rig for FS9 and have to build it up which will take ages...plus I'm away on holiday shortly also.

[infinityjet]

Ah, I know how you feel, I also just bought a new rig and it does take ages LOL

Have fun on your holiday Ed, where are you going?

[edetroit]

Santorini.

[infinityjet]

Ah, a wonderful place! Be sure to check out the volcano there! Have a safe journey.

[edetroit]

Been before thankyou.

[CaptainCernick]

Great video as always, Ed. I especially loved the smoky departure from spotter's view!

Where did you get the Ostend scenery?

[edetroit]

Thankyou, I loved the smokey departure also. I spent some time tuning the smoke effects (each engine has its own smoke effect)

Finf the OST senery at: fscb(dot)be

[klmlover021]

Nice video!

Never realised you loved tristars! Lol!

And on 8:23 you've shown us a great view over the city of ostend. Wonderlfull to see the "spuikom" on fs! I would love to see more of your Ostends scenery next time!

[edetroit]

My pleasure!....as a big MK Airlines fan I'm surprised I have not posted more of OST.

[klmlover021]

I can only support you when you want to make more of those videos! Hope to see them soon!

[ArnaudHahaa]

Nice video

It was a nice flight

[Sibsko21]

i can tell that you had a lot of fun with this flight Capt. Ed

[duranelton]

5/5

[Islandsoundzz]

what cloud textures are you using?

[edetroit]

They are from FEX. (For FSX but work in FS9)

[YV5275]

Cool, what graphic card you uses??

[edetroit]

Right now a 512Mb GDDR3 Nvidia 8800GT OC

[volcom123able]

WELL DONE WELL DONE

[kamranshere76]

Hi Ed, I would love it if you could possibly do one at Bengaluru International Airport in India.

[triggerjoe65]

Looks really nice

[infinityjet]

great video Ed as usual! LOL 0:22

great job!

[PittsSZ]

Nice to see your DC-8 panel again, Ed, and I love Aerosim's external model, too. I have the -53 and -61 models from the "Classic Liners" package, and I think they're the best examples out there. And of course, nice shout out to the Tristar's as well!

:)

[edetroit]

Thankyou John, I thought you might appreciate the Tristar shout.

[Chillax2511]

Great video as usual Ed! just wondering if your going to do any more vid's at my home airport, Samos? seeing as GAP have released the V2 version. . .

[edetroit]

Seeing as I am off to Santorini IRL on friday....it will probably be Gatwick/ Santorini recreated virtually

[tf51d]

5/5 as usual! Nice to see an old DC-8 flying again, and with the old turbojets too!! What model is that, Aerosim? I don't know of too many other with a VC for FS.

[edetroit]

Yes the model is Aerosim...although I do not use the VC of course.

Nice model though...I wish Aerosim had not given up on FS9, they had potential.

[EinkOLED]

I have ruzyne airport

[ManhattenSafe]

Wow great video!

[Slashfan90210]

Could you do a video detailing how you set up your approaches and stuff? I'd love to try some other approaches such as RNAV and get them as realistic as yours but I'm not sure how to go about it. Thanks.

[EinkOLED]

You wil need to know how to read charts and how to use your instruments to perform that approach (ADF/OBI/HSI/RMI/DME) etc. Most aircraft featuring dual FMC can follow SID or routes preselected on the CDU without having the need to manually fly the route. However I would recommend how to fly to and past VOR's, NDB aproaches/DME/NDB arc, non precision and precision approach, ILS approach etc just to familiarise yourself with navaids and how to fly these procedures. It all makes sense later.

[tadeuprimo]

Perfect procedures.

[4ky123]

Great video ED, as usual. Love the scenery

[filipe026]

I love so much the Lisbon Airport cuz i'm from Portugal !

very nice flight , is the scenery from Aerosoft ?

[edetroit]

Yes the scenery is from Aerosoft...and is very good IMHO.

[spitfiremk9]

impressive panel editing skills, such a shame they won't be given to public :)

I tried editing pmdg 737 with photo bitmaps, but i failed as pmdg gauges are protected... i love your 737 classic panel, this is my favourite :)

[Ben123planes]

thaks for that, it's just I'm on fs2004 now descending a 757 into Heathrow with a 16kt headwind, quite tricky approach conditions you see

[edetroit]

Hmmm headwind is good...crosswind is more tricky...gusting even more so.

[Ben123planes]

is it, first time I've ever had a headwind so just trying to see whether to do an auto land or manual, Captainsim gives you lots of choices

[edetroit]

You want to learn to fly your aircraft right?...manual every time!

How anyone can let their computer have the best moment of flight is beyond me.

[Ben123planes]

Thanks ed, I flew manual from 800ft and did a smooth touch down, on 27R

[edetroit]

Top man!

[Ben123planes]

at what height do you normally go to manual?

[edetroit]

1000ft if poss...usually 500...200ft if unsure. If your aircraft is not configured correctly you can be in for a surprise if you disconnect the autopilot too late. lol

For the smoothest touchdowns best to get it off as early as poss IMHO so you are in complete control of the aircraft (trim, power settings etc)

[tf51d]

Just to add to that, in general your aircraft should be in final configuration for landing (Flaps set, final Approach Speed set, Gear down, Speedbrakes armed, auto-brakes (If applicable) armed) no later than 1000ft.

[Mattyheli]

Hey awesome video!

Whats that program called where it says things like a First Officer? like "Starting Engines"?

[edetroit]

I have coded the callouts into my panel.

[Mattyheli]

How? Is there a special program?

[edetroit]

How?, you need to learn how to program gauges. I actually wrote the code using notepad. The avsim panel and design forum should be your first stop.

[mistaxray]

Awesome stuff, as usual!
