Boy, I'm really rusty!

[Mathias]

Long time no talk, guys!
So I just reinstalled the good old CFS3 and boy, am I out of the loop.
So what was the deal with the compositetexturebudgets.xml and all that, DOH!?
Don't worry, I'll be getting my head around it!

[Mathias]

This wasn't a question btw, just a funky way of saying hello, I guess. :-)

[mongoose]

Great to see you here again! You have a lot to catch up on!!!

[Mathias]

I was afraid to hear that, LOL!
for now I'm fighting with the keyboard commands and trying to get MAW up and running.
Now what was our release version? 1.3?

[gecko]

Welcome back! There's been a lot of improvements over the years, make sure you grab the new DX9 shaders, makes the sim look at least a decade newer!

[Mathias]

Thanks gecko, where would I find those files?

First entry here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum....php?catid=161

Self-shadowing, working reflector gunsights, high-altitude contrails, bump maps, light maps, reflective water, cockpit damage, and a lot more are all possible now.

[eddie]

Well, look who is still alive and kicking!! How you doing Mat!?! Not many of the original guys from MAW around, except for John, see Luca once in a while, but no one else. That seems like such a long time ago now. But it was fun though. Haven't flown CFS3 in a while myself, but I keep checking in, to see what they are up to.

[Led Zeppelin]

Nice to see you around!

[hairyspin]

My word, the prodigal returns! Great to hear from you again, Mathias, hope things are well with you. As the guys have said, there's a bit to catch up with, especially Ankor's new shaders for the sim and the stickies above are worth a browse. Otherwise, the usual fun and games.

Make yourself at home!

[Bravo/4]

Hello Mat, been a long time, great to see you around here again! So, what's the first new model then?

[eddie]

Hello Mat, been a long time, great to see you around here again! So, what's the first new model then?

That's what I was thinking John,lol He needed to take a break from all of his rockin' and rollin' and pay us a visit!

[Bravo/4]

Getting right down to brass tacks aren't you John!

[MajorMagee]

Actually you want the newer one that's here instead.

This is also the place to get the dynamic gunsights, and dash panel lighting that go with it.

[NachtPiloten]

I never thought I would live to see the day - Welcome back my friend....

[Steven190]

Welcome back,

I love your FSX FW190's

Thanks

[sdsbolt]

Hey Mathias, hope you are doing well

[Frosty]

Welcome back Mathias!!

[SixGhost]

Ah! Welcome back Mat! As Gerard himslef once said, feel free to spit on the floor and call the cat a bastard!

[Bravo/4]

[Mathias]

Thanks much for the warm welcome back, guys, makes me feel right at home again! :-)
John, Ted, Eddie, Luca etc pp, great to see you all still hanging around here.
So for now I'm just trying to relearn the keyboard commands and flying in general, LOL.
Allready shot down some unaware wingmen. Thankfully they don't shoot back, hehe...

MajorMagee, great stuff this mod. I dropped it into the stock CFS3 install and it's really what we where missing back then.
Is it compatible with MAW and ETO?

[gecko]

Yep, works on any install. Not all the features are activated automatically though, you have to add the gunsights and lighting effects manually.

[mongoose]

Mathias dropped out of sight gain?

[hairyspin]

If you check his profile you'll get his last visit time - today. Still lurking, methinks.
