FSX Limitations and Settings
Unfortunately FSX has some limitations that are hard to overcome, it
also has some bugs that that are simply not possible to avoid. Some
limitations (like Landing Lights and the complete Electrical System)
have been circumvented by replacing what FSX has to offer and
writing our own code, but some other things are not so easy. We like
to mention them.
Almost all lights are not very solid in FSX. They always seem to wander
around the airframe. Even stranger, this effect depends on where you
are on the globe. We have avoided this effect in some cases by not
using effects but modeled ‘balls’ of light. These are not easy to see at
long distances but look better close up.
The sound is a special problematic area for this project because FSX
does not know this type of engine. When we would have used the
standard turboprop sound the startup would be rather unrealistic as
the propellers would be heard while they would not be moving. So we
are using a combination of FSX sounds and some played by our own
sound module. We even switch off the default FSX sound during
start-up otherwise it would be even more problematic. So don’t worry
if you see the SOUND OFF message appear for a moment.
