A function not available within FS2002 or any other add-on. I have also mapped pre-set zoom settings for the view. Saved a load of messing around with tiny gauges I can barely see. I think there's a thread about it here in the archive.įor myself, I use the FSUIPC hotkey functions all the time - the option to re-set the standard pressure of 29.92 being the most useful for airway flying! Simple `B` pres to set current ambient pressure, `Ctrl+Shift+B` to set it to 29.92. I was also showed a trick to improving the emergence from the top of the cloud layer, but I must admit I didn't take it all on board at the time.
I had a `hands on` tutorial from an expert a year or so back and it was amazing to see how `mapping` the visibilty to the cloud base layer improves the sense of realism - and gets rid of that awful blue horizon line which appears when the detailed cloud rendering finishes before the visibility runs out, or the problem of climbing above cloud and then having an uninterrupted view as if the cloud had gone. The graduated visibility slider can also be used very effectively to create a better effect of cloud obstruction from sky to ground. The curvature of the Earth means the horizon is only ever fifteen or twenty miles away at ground level so making use of that adjustment using FSUIPC can help preserve fps in a high-end scenery airport with lots of AI or autogen trucking about.

There have been a good few posts and tutorials on how to get better visibility effects and improve frame rates by using the advanced features of FSUIPC - a good one being the ground level visibility option. You might, just might, have been missing out on all sorts of weather and visual quality gains !:D While it is still free, try experimenting with some of those extra functions. I don't see any reason to believe they will be any less important to my enjoyment of FS2004, so I will pay not only as thanks for the past, but also as grateful appreciation for the future. Hot keys and advanced weather and visibility parameters being the most important, along with joytsick calibration and other joystick and control functions. With FS2002 I find many of the features that FSUIPC provides to be vital to my enjoyment of the simulation.

Many of the things that it does could be supplied by other software, so maybe a new software developer will step into the freeware breach.įor me, I will gladly pay for FSUIPC, even if I didn't need it for FS2004 simply because I can see the amount of time-consuming frustrating work that has gone into this `little` program and Pete is entitled to fair compensation for his current efforts, especially as the demands increase and the level of sophistication rises. Most of those are extras provided over the development period, but some are so inextricably linked with the packages they support that if you use any of those then yes, you do NEED FSUIPC.
One wonders at possible hidden agendas of those sites who are flagging up the release as an indication that FSUIPC is going to cost us all.Īs for the use of FSUIPC, it does all sorts of things other than provide a connection between dissimilar software so that they may `talk` to FS. It's not as clearcut as simmers having to pay for FSUIPC. I have just been having a conversation with a well-known `ex` member of this forum who encouraged me to actually READ what Pete Dowson has said, not what others are saying he has said.īrent, you might want to do so too.
