1.Was there a manifold pressure gauge ?, i cant find it
2. during replay my prop is still.

thanks for any help

for #1, the "boost" gauge is manifold pressure.

Thanks , OK , i may have written this in the wrong forum, i bought the 49.95 Accusim FSX Spitfire , not the 20$ spitfire .

benny,

The boost gauges is the manifold pressure gauge. It reads PSI, whereas the US manifold pressure is in inches of mercury (inHg). 2 inHg is about 1psi.

The boost gauge is in the front right, it has a maroon rim. 0 is in the 12 o'clock position and this represents standard air pressure (would be about 30" in a US warbird). Above 0 indicates boost, and below indicates lower than standard pressure.

Scott.

thanks , very happy with plane, think im going to pick up the P40 , but back to the Spit, when i look at real Spitfire videos it seems like the prop moves in slow motion but in FSX its just a blurred circle , is it a FSX limitation thing? and lastly, sometimes the canopy glass looks a little funky , is it compatable with acceleration?

It's the other way around. It's the "video" part that's the limitation.

Look at this, same principle:

The camera records at a certain amount of frames per second, that's the reason. If you want a more detailed description, let me know I'll explain further.

Great point Lukas... props on video just look wrong, but seen by the naked eye they look accurate. Trying to take still photos of a moving prop is tricky too... if you set for a fast exposure, the aircraft will be in focus, but the prop will appear stopped dead, which looks wrong in flight. If you slow the camera down you can get a great looking blurred prop, but it is much more difficult to get the aircraft itself perfectly focused. Not sure where I'm going with that

Anyhow, I find the prop effects for A2A's aircraft in FSX to look very good, knowing that accuately representing a moving prop in all stages of power is a tall order!

EDIT: Benny, what do you mean about the canopy glass looking funky? It fogs up from time to time, and you may see reflections in it. The only "funky" thing I can think of is how the upper corners of the glass may disappear in some zoom levels, but this is an FSX limitiation, not a fault with the Spitfire.

And if you mean the glass is too blue, that was just fixed in the new Accu-sim update.

Thanks Lucas and Joe, i installed the Accusim 1.1 update and the canopy glass is perfect , everything is perfect , the sounds are outstanding!!
