Nice way to start off the week!

Prowler, do you know how big the download is?

I got it, Pete.

**skyhawka4m** · January 30th, 2012, 10:21

going to wait and see the reviews and screenshots. In this day of accuracy, modeling, and economy...I need to be very fusy with what I buy. Having been a part of RAZBAM for a short time I hope it does well for them.

There's a misfire with the installer pathway. The installer wants to create a "Microsoft Flight Simulator X" folder when I browse it to my "Microsoft Flight Simulator X" folder.

***Dimus*** · January 30th, 2012, 11:34

After quite a few exchanges with the excellent support to overcome the order/Paypal issues (thank you Ron and Larry!) I got a download link. Unfortunately the first two attempts resulted in broken downloads. I will keep the third one for tomorrow, perhaps the traffic will be less. What if the third one is not successful either?

I've been waiting a lot for this bird and can't wait to try it out.

**Bone** · January 30th, 2012, 11:34

A very pretty model, and a HUGE improvement from the FS9 model, lol. So far so good, although I don't see any engine smoke, from the C or the B model. I'm pretty sure she smoked.

My first attempt was a broken download. My second attempt was good, although I was sweating it. The DL speed was slowerr than molasses.

Larry was kind enough to reset my downloads but I just wasted one more. I'll save the rest for tomorrow, hoping for the best.

The altimeter isn't calibrated to the VSI. For instance, if you put it into a 200 fpm climb as indicated by the VSI, the altimeter spins up at around 100 feet per second.

I believe there's something else going on with the altimeter, as well. It's just too quick to spin up and down. Holding your altitude with that kind of response from the altimeter, makes holding your altitude quite challenging, and not very realistic.

**calypsos** · January 30th, 2012, 13:30

Is anybody running this on a less than cutting edge system, I had and loved the FS9 version, but the Razbam A-7 does not like running too smoothly for me, so I wonder if this is similar in it's requirements?

**hae5904** · January 30th, 2012, 13:50

Calypsos, the T-2 runs a lot smoother compared to the Corsair series!

Cheers,
Hank

Regarding the A-7 and especially the 2-seater, don't forget that it they're HD models requiring enough horsepower, which is btw a common requirement of almost all high quality FSX add-ons.
With my setup (I7 920 stock speed- GTX 260 - 6GB 1333 mHZ) I was initialy having a "stop and go" TO run with the A-7, however all have changed by using the great Bojote's cfg tool. It runs more than smoothly for me now.
Also, when I briefly switched to DX 10 preview mode, FSX was running 2-3 times smoother, but the runways' flicker problems convinced me to go back to the normal DX9, which is now OK using the Bojote's tool

Hope that I was useful

**hae5904** · January 30th, 2012, 14:07

Calypsos, another plus point of the T-2 compared to the A-7, is simply the fact that the T-2 has less intrumentation therefor a lot smoother on the framerates! :salute:

I'll check the coding of both the altimeter and the VSI and fix the culprit. If warranted we will reissue the installer.

**ZEUS67** · January 30th, 2012, 16:18

Watch your engine gauges. The T-2 engines are not as temperamental as the A-7 but they do have limitations: both overspeed and overtemperature.

You can lose the engine by overspeeding it before it overheats.

Abuse the engine, lose it. RAZBAM's motto on aircraft simulations. I'm looking for a way to code abusing the airframe and destroying the aircraft in flight.

New store and database. The last hacker attack was very destructive.

Am having the same problem. What should I put for the path then?

I ended up browsing to a dummy folder and let the installer create the "Microsoft Flight Simulator X" folder and install the components. Then I just cut and pasted the components to their appropriate folders in the flightsim.

Well, that is easy enough. Done it hundreds of times. But what about the uninstaller.exe file?

You can search for the original Microsoft Flight Simulator X folder by clicking on the browse button
Or you can go to the end of the string and backspace the duplicate entry until you are left only with the real one
I'll check the installer script.

Hmmm...this might be a good RTW aircraft for my trip.
