FSX HD St Maarten Princess Juliana

[AirbusFreak1]

Nice Vid.

Lufthansa in St.Maarten ? NEVER

[Karxilas]

Hey man! Nice video! Great Work! Can I ask you something? In this video were you using the E8500 Overclocked right? Did you have the Acceleration Pack or SP2 installed? Did it run well? Thanks!

[flyboyandre]

@Karxilas, I use SP2 instead of acceleration pack. Yes, it performs smooth on my rig as long as you keep the water slider to low 2.x

[Karxilas]

@flyboyandre Thanks a lot for the answer mate!

[MrDontpissmeoff777]

how



[07marmi]

Why replace your processer your graphics are amazing my computer has a intel pentium dual core t4400 2gb ram it runs fairly good at ultra high but when i start using fraps then the frates rates show its true colour might upgrade to intel quad core

[16hypen3sp]

ok... so why dont i see any AI traffic when i watch instant replay???? its really starting to piss me off!!!

[flyboyandre]

@16hypen3sp Because you need to know how to use the software! Fsrecorder has a check box in the settings to show ai traffic.

[evsynator]

@16hypen3sp ... you wont see AI on instant replay . You need to download fs recorder .

[16hypen3sp]

@evsynator yah i got it.... everything works awsome!

[canavra]

what video editing software do you use? i use windows movie maker and i cant say its the best... you can see my videos...if you want. Nice video by the way! :D

[flyboyandre]

@canavra, Sony Vegas.

[TheFsReview]

nice vid

your landing is better than most of mine :D

[hayvant]

Slechte landing !

[flyboyandre]

@hayvant, can I see you put together a landing in your own video?

[markinishLOL]

HOW DO I GET THE PLANES I HAVE IN MY PLANE THINGY AROUND ME WEN I FLY!!!!!!!!

[flyboyandre]

@markinishLOL, can you be more specific? I believe you're talking about AI traffic, which you simply add in form of a third party add-on.

[markinishLOL]

@flyboyandre ok if specific is what u want ok. i mean the planes from my inventory in fsx, how can i make them appear at a gate when im flying/taxing

[flyboyandre]

@markinishLOL, buy a third party traffic add-on for traffic or use freeware like WOAI. The planes you have in your aircraft directory will all choke your sim if you loaded them at once. AI planes are external models only for the most part which doesn't affect the overall performance like a few PMDG's would do.

[biggestMetallicAfan]

You people are idiots!!

He did fine, you see the PAPI lights, two red and two white make for a great landing.

He did nothing wrong here.

This coming from a real pilot.

[dhruvb38]

u know what

everyone says u came in too high

to me idc because u landed nicely!

thats all i care about

fuck those lights

[callum1carpenter]

ure cummin down to the runway to high!

[flyboyandre]

@callum1carpenter, why dont you create a clip and show us all how it's supposed to be done?

[AustraliaNavy]

@flyboyandre Mate if you search "737 landing St Maarten" that shows you how to land

[flyboyandre]

@AustraliaNavy, I know how to land just fine.

[dimdiolch1]

@callum1carpenter how was he? he was too low if anything on approach! look at the PAPI prick!

[flyboyandre]

@dimdiolch1, thanks man :) I give up trying to make a point out of anything :)

[dimdiolch1]

@flyboyandre wonderful video :) no worries man, keep it up!

[Chickiee2]

@flyboyandre Guys it doesn't mean anything! For all we know, this was a non-precision approach, which rules out the PAPI altogether! Why argue about this when it's for your entertainment? Do you go plane spotting and call the pilot a prick if he touches down 150 yards before the marks? Really guys.

[jrob07105]

10/10!

[karoliunas350]

its really good landing its even better than just good :p

[tamtammr]

i think you are much better then this boring cessna 154

[flyboyandre]

@tamtammr, thank you for the compliment :)

[tamtammr]

@flyboyandre youre welcome

[drpittbull]

How many degrees pitch up did you do with airbus when takeoff?

Is it me or It looks a bit too high?

[flyboyandre]

@drpittbull, it's you.

[drpittbull]

@flyboyandre I DON'T THINK SO! WHAT WAS THE PITCH?

[flyboyandre]

@drpittbull, 2400ft/min initial climb out with the hills to the east as high points in the terrain.

[n4f13666]

Good video man,i have just one question about fsx and my system.

when i run fsx with REX at high graphic it run about 30-60 fps and the problem is when i install an aircraft like the PMDG 747-400 or other pro aircraft the frame fall to the 5-20 fps max.

PS:my sys core 2 quad 8200 OC 2.80Ghz-4Go DDR2 800-GIGABYTE P45-ATI XFX 5850 1Go-PSU THERMALTAKE EVOBLUE 750W-SAMSUNG 24" monitor(1920X1200)-THERMALTAKE SPEDO case.

[flyboyandre]

@n4f13666, FSX is unfortunately extremely tough to run smooth. You are held back by your CPU first and foremost.

[chittychad18]

Who cares if you read my comments, there are rules and regulations stated by the FAA that you must follow, it does matter how you land. stop this commenting already I'm sick of random 10 year old desk flyers telling me how to fly. Btw it's red and white not yellow.

[flyboyandre]

Let's not drag this out any further.

[chittychad18]

I watch a few and they all have landed on the solid white lines, I didn't say anything about buzzing the fence... I would post a video but using fraps with my comp would look like shit , I just have a simple comp cuz all my money is going towards college and my music studio... I'm sick of arguing over nothing , it's fine if you don't land on the lines but most pros do.

[pilotjanmanpeterpan]

I saw your first comment...and it didn't make sence at all 1. Its just an flight simulator video 2. You don't need to have 2 yellow 2 red papi lights (it is better if ya have) he wasn't fully red or fully yellow so it didn't matter, by saying that this is your career, made me laugh, cmon man your saying that he didn't land good? It was a bit of centere but thats it!! Please look at other vids where te papi lights are fully red and then make a shitty comment like you did..

[pilotjanmanpeterpan]

Every landing that makes it to the gate without any injuries is a good landing..now stop troling nice vids like this...!

Nice vid bro

5/5

[chittychad18]

How am I wrong? the plane would run off the runway and you are suppost to land on the solid white lines , I know what I'm talking about , this is my career.

[flyboyandre]

Go watch some real videos of planes landing at TNCM and see if they all buzz the fence and hit the lines.

I would love to have you teach us how to do it since you possess all those skills but it's easier to type than to make these clips.

[chittychad18]

okay well your previous comments were saying that you were in perfect glideslope( which you weren't exactly)and you didn't say manually so okay. but you still should of landed on the solid lines , but then fsx has many physics problems as I have tested , like you can stop a plane on the runway landing at 400 mph which is impossible and I still believe the speed is off realative to how it looks.

[DrPilotRedC]

You are wrong

[chittychad18]

2:00-2:15 you were below glideslope and still you landed above the solid lines , I have the right to make Amy comment I please just like you do. I have more experience than you because I am currently going to wmu for a aviation flight science degree.

[flyboyandre]

I had 3 red lights for 3 seconds. I went back to 2 red and 2 white as a matter of adjustment. The reason for papis is to adjust to the glideslope. TNCM doesn't have an ILS approach where you can perfectly catch and stay on the glideslope so you have to fly manually. The lines on the runway are only reference lines. I have flown for many years so I would argue the experience point with you any day.

[chittychad18]

you didn't follow glideslope , it's has to stay 2 white 2 red and I saw you were over , usually u need to touchdown on the solid lines too.

[flyboyandre]

You earn the right to criticize the day you decide to share your own similar content on Youtube.

The Papis showed 2 red and 2 white until I crossed the fence which means a perfect alignment with the glideslope. The fact that 3 were red right before I touched down has more to do with how the Sim sees the objects as they get too close.

Anything else?

[tamagotchi78]

at 2:20 y'd u close the slats

[flyboyandre]

It's an automatic feature on the 747 when you activate reverse thrust.

[thomaskroon97]

cool *****

[daggedasmask1]

Too Late landing :/ land like 100meters from the beach and fly a approach 20-40m over the beach and you'll get a perfect landing :)

[flyboyandre]

Not true. If you look at the PAPIS on approach you will find that I followed the glideslope dead on all the way down.

Sure you can buzz the fence but it doesn't make it a perfect landing.

[airbusandmustang]

Why did you need a new computer? You were getting amazing frames for such high graphics!

[neemz68]

how do u get these airlines nd models into FSX?

[flyboyandre]

The planes on the clip were flown by me. List of payware add-ons can be found in more info. I also used the Wilco A380 for this clip (not very impressive).

As far as traffic goes, I usually run with WOAI.

[grunnico]

good video! landing was okay but the touchdown was not really smooth and btw...I have never seen a lufthansa 747 at TNCM before^^ but I liked the song and your editing....5* ;)

[Intelpentium54321]

the Q9550 better?

[sjt375]

I want you to know that I removed you from my friends list, it is nothing personal, it is just that when I share videos, I press "share with all friends"...and in the past, you have gotten mad about those messages. So once again, it is nothing personal, just for your own sake

[flyboyandre]

I appreciate that as I get a lot of non FS related stuff sent to me.

[sjt375]

haha

[drummingpilot]

WTF, why is it retracting the slats when reverse is activated????

and it retracts again when reverse is deactivated????

[flyboyandre]

If you knew your airplanes you would know that this is standard on the B747 :)

They are not slats but rather called Krueger flaps. That's your airplane lesson of the day.

[sjt375]

GET OWNED!

[flyboyandre]

Huh?

[sjt375]

you "owned" him-owned is defined as defeating another in intellect or skill

[flyboyandre]

Hehe, thanks :)

[sjt375]

btw, I just in a way owned you by knowing the definition of "owned"...so OWNED haha :D

[longlivethe80s]

I've read through most of the comments to try and figure a few things out. I've just purchased an i7 because I was hoping to run this game great, but now I am reading that FSX only uses 2 cores. There are people that say that it uses 4 cores, but who should I believe? You said that the e8400 runs it just as good as the core 2 quad and that you didn't see much improvement with the i7. Did I just completely blown away my money? If so, I will put my unopened i7 on ebay.

[flyboyandre]

FSX will use multiple cores with SP2 installed. If you go into task manager you will see that it indeed uses all cores.

However, I have yet to see much of an improvement with the i7 or the standard quad (Q9550) over my old E8400.

I would wait until newer technology comes out. FSX for some reason seems to function better on older hardware as long as the specs are pretty decent. Many people seem to be getting good results with the 8400 and the good old 8800GTX cards.

Hope it helps!

[FSactiomania]

yeah thats what im gonna do or i buy the Q9550

and an ati4870 or 90

or wait for better and buy a xbox or ps3

what do you reccommend

is oonline play on xbox free???

is there gonna be a ps4?

[FSactiomania]

i dont think you were fooled

some games are asking for quad core

cause fsx is so old it doesn need that much. it will run good core 2 duo. once again  you werent fooled, fsx doesnt need that much to play.if i were you keep it

[FSactiomania]

It will eeven run good with amd turion x2

what matters the most are you grpahics, if you have poor graphics like a 9600 geforse go out and get a ati 4890 or gtx 260~thats my recomendation

i7 basicly lets you run alot of programs without crashing

[FSactiomania]

i might buy i7 but not with intention for this game

other games

[MatisDaBest]

would an

Intel Core 2 CPU

6400 @ 2.13GHz

2.14GHz , 2.93GB of Ram

Would this be good enough for fsx

[flyboyandre]

You would be able to play it but not on anything close to high settings. What graphics card do you use?

I would recommend FS2004 for you. FS2004 with the right add-ons can look very very good and it's much easier on performance.

[FSactiomania]

yeah but what really matters is graphics card

[MatisDaBest]

umm my graphic ccard is a NVIDIA Geforce 7600GT

[flyboyandre]

Not the best of cards. It seems like the 8800gtx has proven to be one of the best overall cards for FSX. I liked the 8800gt I used to have for FSX. Beyond that card I didn't see any improvements as I kept improving my hardware.

[FSactiomania]

i was only thinking about the i7 because in europe the 2.6ghz with easy overclock to 4.00ghz

is only 60 euro more than q9550

[flyboyandre]

The Q9550 did just as good of a job with FSX as my new i7 clocked at 3.8ghz. Not worth it in my mind.

[flyboyandre]

That is SOOOOO not true my friend. FSX is first and foremost a CPU game. You should not waste your money going for the biggest in GPU's for this game. Look around the net for some of the millions of people saying exactly what I say.

[lovehocki]

nevermind.

[lovehocki]

that a 777?

[flyboyandre]

A330

[AirShark95]

Is it hard on frame rate?

[flyboyandre]

Is what hard on frame rate? TNCM, REX?

[AirShark95]

REX. sry

[flyboyandre]

Not really. It depends on what features you activate.

[AirShark95]

oh, okay.

[pav2k]

What kind of clouds is that?

[flyboyandre]

More info states that I used Real Environment Xtreme in this clip.

[TheHecker123]

Which grafic-card have you got???

[flyboyandre]

Click on my name and go to my channel. All my specs are there although I had a slightly different system back at the time when I filmed this clip. Graphics card isn't that important for FSX.

[glockie1492]

Hi everybody, what this song it s so beautifull?

[flyboyandre]

U2, love is blindness from the Achtung Baby album. One of my all time favorite songs.

[glockie1492]

Thank for respond me, very good song.

[mahadbaba09]

which one is best for FSX?

GX280 2.8GHz

ATI RADEON 512 MB DDR2 or

Quad core Processors?

[Gamestar11]

nvidia graphic cards produce the best framerates for fsx.

[flyboyandre]

Not necessarily true my friend. It's all about balance. However, I've always stuck with nVidia GPU's, hence why I run the gtx285 now. You dont need a powerful card with FSX though as it's very CPU dependant. Spend your cash on a fast dual or quad intel.

[Gamestar11]

I've checked the benchmarks on fsx, and compared the nvida card to ATI and from what i saw nvidia seemed to have the upper hand on fsx.

[flyboyandre]

It really depends on a lot of things. I've seen ATI cards do really well too. However, like I said I also prefer nVidia cards over ATi mostly due to better overall compatability.

[Macky91SWE]

lol you will need both to run the game i suppose

[mahadbaba09]

whats your computer specification please tell me !

[TheCraignessTheGreat]

hey, how is the Q9550 compared to the E8500 as im ordering a Q9550 tonight just want a heads up of what to expect. . .thx

[flyboyandre]

For gaming the E8500 will perform just as well as the Q9550. The quad will be a little bit better if you plan to do a lot of intensive video editing, etc. I have already moved on from the Q9550. If you look at my channel you will see my new specs.

[max05XIII]

did u see much improvement going from the E8500,Q9550,i7?

i'm upgraded on the same track as u and i currently have the q9550. i was wondering how much more improvement did u see in fsx going through these 3 cpus?

and is core i7 really worth it?

[flyboyandre]

I would say the best bang for the buck right now is the 9550. However, the E8500 dual core is almost identical to performance, the quad has better overall results with a variety of tasks (video editing, etc). The i7 is nice but certainly not worth a completely new setup (motherboard, memory, etc) from what you have. Not too much of a difference between the 9550 and the i7 in my mind.

[fsC130J]

Cool video!!

[tromas34]

COMPONENT'S PC IS?

[flyboyandre]

ONCE AGAIN, CHECK MY CHANNEL BY CLICKING MY NAME!!!

The PC I used during this clip is not what I'm using now though.

[Feircejaguar]

very nice video btw, ive added a video response to it :D

[mryandao54]

Do you use Sony Vegas? Great vid btw =)

[flyboyandre]

I use both Sony Vegas and Adobe Premiere.

[flyboyandre]

I use both Sony Vegas and Adobe Premiere Elements.

[Gamestar11]

you do need a quad core my dual core cant even run it proparly.

[flyboyandre]

High end dual core does as good of a job as quads for the most part.

[Gamestar11]

i overclocked my E2160 to 3.15 and it still cant run it smoothly in dense areas.

[flyboyandre]

That's because it's not a high end dual core. Try the E8400 that you can clock to 4ghz.

However, FSX wont run well in dense areas on nearly any machine out there, including quad cores. It's just a result of poor programming.

[flyboyandre]

And when did I say you need a quad?

Actually you're wrong about reading from one core. With SP2 they made optimizations to utilize multiple cores.

As far as FSX goes, you will need a powerful CPU to run it smoothly. There is a difference between minimum requirements and recommended specs.

Get your facts straight!

[TDJP123]

you also ned a pretty good grafic card. in some plases with my new nividia 9800 i got min 10 frames higher

[flyboyandre]

GPU don't mean much for FSX. CPU is the biggest difference maker for FSX. You're ok as long as you've got an 8800 or above card. No need to break the bank with a GPU for FSX.

[Feircejaguar]

very true, ive got a 4870X2 and it didnt improve THAT much over my HD 2600 XT

[LittleLuckk]

dude...........plz give me the website you bought FlyTampa from...ive searched everywhere for it.

[flyboyandre]

Come on guy. Do you know how to use google?

You have searched everywhere. Sure you have!!

Flytampa(dot)org

[LittleLuckk]

its says only for FS2004.

[flyboyandre]

You're not paying attention then. TNCM and VHHX are also available for FSX. The others are FS2004 only.

[LittleLuckk]

wait i was on wrong website....ya its only for FSX-SP2...i have FSX-SP1 :P bullshit.

[flyboyandre]

You are sooooo out of it. You can download SP2 for free from fsinsider(dot)com.

Please educate yourself a little bit more before you start to spew pissed off comments.

[jayakajt]

how do u get st.marteen to look like that?????

[flyboyandre]

Buy and install Flytampa TNCM

[fsimmer1123]

O God I would trade you computers anyday to see FSX run like NOTHING! Wow ur specs are so high! NIce vid.

[flyboyandre]

Thanks. Even my computer struggle in dense areas. TNCM is a nice scenery to showcase some of FSX.

[flyboyandre]

What?

[FlightsHeaven]

That's a nice video!.

What Software did you use?

[flyboyandre]

Check the "more info" part.

[FlightsHeaven]

Thanks

[gedas9999]

COol

[flyboyandre]

Thanks!

[TurkishG1234]

very nice flying but i think the approach was too high? if you look at real princess juliana landings the langing gear of a 747 just over the fences... anyways very nice graphics and video!

[flyboyandre]

If you look at the Papi's you see that I have 2 red and 2 yellow on approach. In my mind and according to regulations this means that the approach was pretty good.

[TurkishG1234]

no no, you got me wrong i didn't say your approach was bad a little to high according to me:)

[flyboyandre]

Well, when you fly a visual approach you fly by the papi's, not the heads of the beach bums :)

[TurkishG1234]

well the taste of landing at st. maarten comes from flying close to that beach? Isn;t that the best part?

[flyboyandre]

Yeah, it looks cool. I'm still amazed that people are allowed on that beach due to the airplane activity.

[pyrokylehatch]

You have one very awesome system!

[flyboyandre]

Thanks!

[sealalula]

very nice video , i cant even get my plane to fly straight seriously , haha im a noob :(

[LILICHICK01]

true pilot man! great job!

[flyboyandre]

Thanks!

[gunnygundog]

sweet, do you mind if i add you as a frined

[flyboyandre]

accepted request.

[gunnygundog]

do you use autopilot to takeoff ? if not, how to you takeoff sooo sweetly?

[flyboyandre]

AP isn't engaged until you get up in the air. It's all about practice. Everything in this clip was done manually.

[Jazza159]

nice

[clinton252]

yea fs 2004 causes alot less headaces

[paice95]

do a flight from paris to new york to test that processor.

[CIAINICIK]

Amazing video my friend!

My computer got a virus and everything got wiped out....including FSX ;(

[UANilsen9]

Great Video! 5 Stars. All your vids are amazing!

[flyboyandre]

Thanks man!

[cloudrummer]

It's just a shame still......all that system and it still moves with shuttering and a jumpy frame by frame look.....perhaps some day....some day..........nice though.

[flyboyandre]

Doesnt stutter on my computer. Youtube servers have sucked lately. Make sure that if you watch it in HD, pause the video and let it fully load before playing again. I am watching it now and there are absolutely no stutters. My system was locked at 30fps during this capture so my machine is just fine.

[Jazza159]

the best purchaseable pc out now probally couldnt run fsx on full graphics with Fraps recording

[flyboyandre]

Depends on where you're flying. St. Maarten isn't a really challenging scenery for my machine. It gets worse if you go to NY or dense areas.

I lock Fraps at 29.97 FPS when recording and I usually don't have much of a problem capturing the file to my Raptor 10000rpm drive.

The stutters you see on the clips now and then is all Youtube. Bit rate is getting worse and worse with the incredible load on the servers every single day.

[Jazza159]

ok cool, youtube has so many vids im not suprised about the lag

[TBrdOne]

Looks really nice, great views!

Thanks!
