Very much appreciated seeing this. Been and airship buff, most of my life. I'm on FS20, and am looking forward to when we get the market place up and running. Thanks for sharing this. :)
It's such an unusual and challenging way to enjoy the sim but it pays off. I must confess I haven't taken its smaller offspring up in MSFS2024 yet but I think P Gatcomb has already done a video on it which I need to check out.
The premium version isn't released yet. She a stunner. There's so many little details it's amazing. I nearly crashed her recently I was too busy sat in the lounge chilling to mad world with a beer and kinda forgot about the hills in front of me 😂
The blue room with the airship evolution diagrams on the walls was the smoking room. Yes, there was a room for smoking cigares and cigarettes aboard the hydrogen operated LZ-129 airship. 😀 The chairs ,tables and benches were made from non combustible materials, the lighters were chained onto the tables so no one could remove them. Additionally the room featured its own isolated air conditioning secured by an airlock to ensure fire safety. There was also a steward present at all times to ensure that everyone knew what to do and was sticking to the rules regarding smoking aboard.
This is insanely rich with tragic irony. Not just the incongruity of smoking under the hydrogen bags but also the strangely comical early 20th century Teutonic response to being allowed to smoke under the watchful eye of a steward posing effectively as a guard. Such a weird clash of mental images. Thanks for the feedback!
Absolute beauty. Unfortunately she murders my PC. Graphics card meets spec, CPU does not. I guess it's time to upgrade my machine again. I desperately want to fly this thing transatlantic.
I'm not sure what the differences are with the Lite version FPS-wise. And I haven't tried out the new AutoFPS that everyone is raving about but I'll try them both over the Easter break. Also, the Redwings team, for the most part, do take in feedback from the community, so they may try run an optimisation update soon enough.
How are you able to get Manhattan and New York buildings to not have thousands of trees growing on top of them, middle of roads, etc? And no green or black building slime?
The Redwing New York city scenery, I think, mate. Part of their 1935 range up on the MSFS Marketplace. People rag on the 30X0 series Nvidia cards these days but my one still takes my breath away over scenes like this.
Good observation that this is a "game within a game." Have done a couple flights and am thoroughly intrigued, but there are a couple of problems. First, I have to disable both multiplayer and FS-generated traffic or its a guaranteed crash to desktop. The more traffic around, especially multiplayer, the faster I get spilled out of FS completely. Second is the listing you observed. That is caused by having any significant crosswind. With 15 knots or more the list angle becomes ridiculous and can only be corrected by steering into the wind or, as the developer suggests in discord, disabling wind which means killing real world live weather. I can live with shutting off traffic but disabling real weather, no way. I love it, but mine sits in its gigantic hanger until that problem is fixed. I'd guess that will be very soon.
Great feedback! Thanks, Gary. Yeah. The listing is odd but once I brought her into the headwind she behaved. I must confess I'm not sure if I was running the FSLTL or standard traffic yesterday and I don't do multi-player, as rule, so I genuinely appreciate the broader perspective.
I love the way that people develop things for the sim that I don't think the Asobo crew could have dreamed up in a million years. One of the truly great joys of the sim. I think the Rara Avis team are currently in beta with the Horten Ho 229. That will be fantastic.
imagine they built one nowadays with even stronger material. length was 265m ? about 860fts? today you might raise it to 1200fts in length, 360m. and have it so light. i would still recommend hydrogen. its so much cheaper. and helium would cost 40mio. yes tahts right. with modern fabrique we would store hydrogenium, have probably weight left for 800 passengers. and 90-100 mi/h (150km/h) speed of travelling. not bad. would be a nice 3 day trip for 10.500km.
Unfortunately, the closest we came (at least here in Australia) was the Swan blimp in the late 80s. aeropedia.com.au/content/airship-industries-skyship-600/
Would be cool but more focus would be needed on protecting the hydrogen from lightning strikes, but yea we now have lots of modern lightweight non flammable materials that were not available back then and electric propulsion. Caribbean Tours would probably be more profitable compared trans Atlantic, a Blimp doesn’t require an airport so could land anywhere on those islands for daily excursions, like a flying cruise ship with views
From my poodling around with it so far, it's more like being captain of a seagoing vessel. As the Rudderman/helmsperson, I use the mouse to change course via the compass or individually regulate the engine speeds via the four engine gondolas. I know it's just me, at this stage, but I honestly find it more rewarding to just use the Captain and Rudderman positions to do everything, while I go off and do some more exploring to see what other easter eggs I can come across.
Hi - the recommendation spec is insane. My card is GTX 1080 , and runs fine, even pmdg dc6 and 737, justflight vulcan, with track ir. I will upgrade to RTX 2080 - but still far off recommended. What happens with gtx1080? CTD, out of memory, FPS not playable?
Honestly, these are all good questions that I don't think I can answer. Even in the hiatus between sims, I always built my PCs with the notion that they'd one day be devoted to X-Plane of MSFS or whatever. Frankly, though, I'd hold off upgrading the card until MSFS2024 rolls around and see what efficiencies the Asobo and Redwings teams make by that stage.
Dev has made it clear that you need a powerful machine to run this due to all the custom behind the scenes stuff MSFS just doesn't support, and then there is size of the craft itself. Can use the 'lite' mode to improve FPS that has a few things, like the interiors, cut out.

what is your cpu? mine is a 4770

it is a Zee thing.
the germans have picked this name from a heavy-metal american band called LED ZEPPELIN.
🤣🤣🤣 Mais ils ne sont pas américains, ils sont anglais., you krazy knnnnnnniggggghht.! (To mangle my Monty Python).

I have tried using boats in FS and the wind problem affects those also.

@@ytzpilot electric propulsion? probably no clue of engineering. rather factual. Sir, what you even think?
@@MrTiti Propulsion - noun - the action of driving or pushing forwards.
That is from Oxford Dictionary, doesn’t get any clearer than that
@@ytzpilotthe question is clearly about electric propulsion, but thanks for randomly efforting the Oxford dictionary
Serious Question: Do you have to make coordinated turns with this like you do with fixed wing planes? Or is it just yawed?

@@flyingliar938 Thank you. Turning like a ship makes sense.
🤔 The carpet pattern in a room with piano is based on real one, or it's a easter egg from developer?
Hmmm! Good point!
What a beaut!
Yeah, it sure is. My guess it'll take me a while to learn every nook and cranny of this unique beast.

garbage fps
