Exploring New York - Part 2 - Night

[jmdewey60]

Way too many lights for night, such as every window in every building being lit up, and the street lights are too bright, plaus just the buildings themselves, are too bright. All that extra visibility probably adds to the demands on your computer. I am making some models for NYC that are available for free downloads at the X-Plane forum.

[NYCLO]

Pariss!! :D

[Mexicano27mexicaN]

all i know is that chicago is far from realistic. cessna154 could you be kind enough to make a video of touring chicago?

[marospy]

i guess there is a bit lag like 17 FPS

[2004JETTA]

The lights are harder to generate

[perry345233]

I think the fps is affected bec cause the game has to generate a lot of buiding therefore arrecting the fps

[halftime614]

i think uss citys X - SAN FRANCISCO is amazing!:D

[JCLounon]

I noticed some glitch while flying by the south of manhattan area, near the statue of liberty. When I fly by this area the aircraft starts a steep 3,000 fpm climb even on idle power. Has anyone experienced this?

[myrandomspaces]

all the lights at night

[Tuddley3]

The pyramids in Egypt are pretty impressive, and so is Mt. Rushmore.

[Sikakuhc]

Sadly...all these vids are getting repetitive as someone told before.

This is getting boring.

[acezboy561]

10-20FPS? Whats the average you get with default?

[TylerxTerror]

ATLANTA!

[jakerthesnak]

the frame rate loss may be due to the extra lighting effects in the night mode. There are probably tons of lighting effects that are emphasised from the plane and possible scenery and water.

[JoeTheWatchdog]

MegaScenery Earth Washington State bundle is at least 90% realistic. Costed me a bit over $100 (and that was w/ an unused bandwidth discount coupon), but wouldn't fly without it.

Also: Congrats on over 10K subscribers!

[omgroy1587]

more talking and make more vids of like airplanes trying to land on very hard places, nd show crashes to!!

[dylanmoran123]

Please could you do a tour of London? If so, please do it in a Mooney Bravo!

[masterjewbag]

Cool video cessna! Keep it up!

[kantk2008]

Am I the only one starting to find these vids boring? Hardly any talking and a pretty boring topic...what's so interesting about new york at night? Sure, for the first couple of shots its cool but it becomes repetitive

[FSscramble]

I tottally agree with you there most of the videos now are just repetitive and what hapened to the partner ship with Flightsim? Has thisjust suddenly ended like the Questions and Answers series and many more?

[jkachur777]

i would have to say the lights kill the frames i have a kick ass pc and i suffer a huge frame loss flying at night

[RipFlm]

It would probably be because of the lights in the building and the quantity of them.

[water8556]

does fiji have good scenery?

[AirShowFan22]

nice video

can you make a video showing what are the best planes for a virtual airshow

[duranelton]

nice

[7372009]

Chicago, IL

Go Baers

[ugnut123]

Washington D.C.

[rbc01]

ireland

[abcd1to]

I think the frame rates go down during the night because of lights you need more graphics to support just the nighttime lights.

[MandeepGadgetBoy]

What resolution do you set the game when recording?

[MandeepGadgetBoy]

Upload in 1920x960, it will fill the whole new format on YouTube in HD.

[BlackLukeS]

Really? Where did you get this info?

[MandeepGadgetBoy]

Was the first few people to know about this belive me.

[ryanair737400]

you dont really need info just do a test my frame rates are always better in the day

[ttcfan123]

Toronto CYYZ

good vid! 5/5

[Iamthemaster2]

the Faroe islands are a good place to go to

[dataguttene]

dude.. You really gotta buy yourself the Trackir...

Nice vid btw =D

[yoto5951]

LOL on fsx website when u enter the flash site # under in the corner fsx say the game runs great on intel core 2 duo extreme HAHA LOL

[TonkatrainHONKHONK]

Well, that is the truth.

[cruxader27]

frame rates is higher on high altitudes and in fair or clear weather at night.....try it.

[temaskell08]

i think the drop in frame rate is because when you fly at night flight sim adds an extra layer over top of everything for the dark and light's. this means flight sim needs to load more data. i.e frame rate drop

[seansyhanks]

you should try the fly Tampa scenery for Hong Kong since it is really quite good.

[teduwas]

on my pc i get better frame rates at night in the new york area than day. how is that possible?

[TonkatrainHONKHONK]

Every system is different.

[Borck103]

i envy your frame rates..the higest I can get around new york city even without AI Traffic is about 3-4 FPS

[NATE2nite]

how do you make the cockpit look so detailed???

[bonlouk]

put the graphics tab on the settings panel to full

[8justin88]

in flight...go to options...(i think its) settings(at the bottom....then click display....then it will pause and open up a window...the first tab you see will have 2 sliders(target frame rate and texture resolution) move the texture resolution to the right as far as possible...the put the target frame rate and about 30-40...or more depending on how good ur comp is...then click "ok at the bottom...it will reload...and you have a nice detailed cockpit.

[Gamestar11]

on fsx when you set a target frame rate, it lags more than it does when its on unlimited.

[yoto5951]

yes because like fps goup and down from 30-50 fpsTHATS HORRIBLE i got fps limited on 35 , maybe in desert 40 lol

[8justin88]

ohh...well...i never tried unlimited...my computer sucks so i have to keep stuff kinda low...but i hope that come christmas...ill have some new stuff...

[Gamestar11]

If you put it on unlimited you get higher frame rates, if you set a target frame rate, it tends to lag way more than when its on unlimited.

[NATE2nite]

Make a flight from

PHNL-PHOG

please!!!

[djderk]

how about a fly over of DALLAS, TEXAS?

[Cessna162]

i recommend you get shockwave's 3D Lights for FSX...you will truly enjoy the night more

[spinydelta1]

Yea, I have that, It's well worth the Money. I Love it.

[LotsOfDanger]

How about you fly around Washington D.C.? That will be cool.

[DV5230US]

I thought the starboard wing light was green?

[RippedWookie]

It is green.

[DV5230US]

It looks kind of blue to me.

[tchapman1977]

When the strobe light flashes, it gives the green nav light a bluish tinge, but only momentarily. The light is supposed to be and is green.

[DV5230US]

Ah I see.

[XpvPro1]

Sweet NZ in ur next VID

[BulgarianInCanada]

fsx sucks in NY city there are no taxis and sh** man...

but fsx looks good on your pc still for fsx standard!

London Heathrow with max cars and stuff looks good especially when you are landing and just before the runway there are some cars and trains and it makes it look a hell more realistic...

[Eddybtherider]

How is college tying in with making FSX videos. Do you find it hard to make them with all the schoolwork?

[Bill56569]

Cool video 5*

The city buildings/Sky scrapers are pretty dense

in that video, nice graphics.

Bill

[Stretedge]

well i cant say much about the big cities, but in fs9 the terrain of my neighborhood was terrible, however i was pleasently suprised with fsx, the ground topography is stellar, and the local lakes and major roadways match sattelite images!

[pinin9000]

you should do a video or series where you travel down the mississippi and highlight good scenery and other stuff

[soybomb2345]

That would be cool.

[MSEagle2]

You can watch the live stream at

live.caffeinatedman(dot)com

[KingSamLopez]

What is the link, i would like to watch it. also i'm in the UK, So i can't check up on NYC time so can you give me the link now.

KingSam15. TGHQ Co-Leader

[rdmomcilovic]

Hong Kong seems reasonably realistic in FSX

[Peterpufferbelly]

ya chicago is better layed out in FSX

[deagle94]

frame rate drop reason:

1. fraps

2. graphic card

3. the game its self

i already know he has 2x 9800 but 295gtx will deff do better.

[Cessna154]

FSX is more about CPU than Graphics cards...

[deagle94]

really? wow thats a surprise!!! it would have been more effient if they used the gpu,, i question:does core i7 go good with fsx?

[water8556]

how about a video in fiji?? that probably has great scenery

[RunTheRockers]

the cessna caravan makes me think of a flying minivan.

[LittleLuckk]

i know FSX sure did a very nice job with Downtown Chicago. Since I live there, I know where every building is placed at. And FSX sure handled the designing 98.0% perfect.

[TheBoeing717]

The frame rate issue could be caused by the excissive lighting on buildings like the Empire State building in the area.

[flyboy8492]

lower frame rates are a direct result of the higher texture size (due to color variation and difference) of the textures used by FSX at night

[amadino13]

I think you get less FPS at night because it needs to make all the lighting.

[adhdboy699]

can someone help me out? i knot this is off topic for this video but its kind of urgent. im trying to cruise in my 737-800 in fsx. im crusing at 25000 feet and the cruise speed of the 737 in the detail it said .785 mach so i put in .78 and it started sayign over speed???? please help

[ExportAli]

mine does that when I go over about .65 and I have no clue

[TylerjdFilms]

The issue about the cruising speed is cause when you are not flying at correct cruising altitude. The higher you get off of the ground, the higher the MACH speed. AKA Top mach speed at Flt lvl 240 is .73 mach, and at flt lvl 400 the top mach speed is .785. Hope this clears things up!!

[adhdboy699]

thanks!!

[snoyda1214]

It's becuae 25000 feet is too low to go .78 mach. If you want to go that fast then cruise on up to maybe 34000 FL340 or higher. Then you can go that fast.

[adhdboy699]

thanks ive heard of that and thoguht 25k was high enough! you are my hero

[adhdboy699]

actually so i jsut went up to 35k and have the thing at .78 knotts but its still to low

[snoyda1214]

Np, and thats a little wierd. Instead of dealing with mach, on Auto-Throuttle just use the default speeds. So instead of setting it to .78 Mach, then do maybe 500 Knots

[alpecs]

cruise speed is .785 mach at altitude which is about 35000 ft. if you fly lower, then lets just say that the speed limit will be lower thus resulting in an overspeed warning.

hope this helps :-)

alpecs

[oscariniguez101]

great vid : )

[theofficalPwner]

My FSX lags like 8- FPS when i max out the scenrey with only using like 1024 x 768 and high texture resolution :(

[LittleLuckk]

does REX improve night lighting textures?

[Atli23]

Can you make a video where you are flying in Iceland?

[Gergerberger]

To anyone who complains about building placement and ground texture and that stuff-THIS IS A FLIGHT SIMULATOR, Keyword, FLIGHT!

[dreampilot2]

Good video 5/5

[viva0la0utube]

wats that flashing at 0:55??

[jetoptimus217]

i think thats the plane

[Atli23]

the light on the wing

[theofficalPwner]

It was the plane lights,

You probably cant see the plane becasue the game is at night

[sunnyboy9711]

waow only 4 coments , nice dude u shoudl do N.Y in a helicopter

[drmario711]

i like this game

[streetlegals123]

so does like every1 of his suscribers :D

[lylix123]

I dont liek the game x) i just like to listen to him x)

[JustForFun248]

What game ? I never knew this was a game..

[Cessna154]

Depending on who you are and how you use the software, FSX can be a game, application, simulator, or any other term.

[drmario711]

ohh smart ass eh
