I want to know if you're aware of the three main issues with the exterior model and are planning to fix them in the next update.

1. The nose, no big deal, we know what it needs to be done.

2. The winglets... PLEASE I'll pay for those lol. Really, the 767-300 is a majestic model when wingleted, correction, when big/realistic wingleted.

3. The Pratt & Whitney model is also wrong, the engine is smaller than the CF6 but, it would be awesome if the engine was actually modelled correctly.

Agreed, this would make the model flawless. Nose, engines and winglets.

Too be honest, the CS 767 nose looks fine to me, so what is the problem you are talking about?

Look for another posts here that show real nose comparisons with the CS model, I included that as people seem to want another nose but I personally don't consider that a MUST. I do however NEED new PW engines and bigger winglets for considering myself... happy? lol

What is it that is wrong with the nose? The Captain Sim 767's nose looks perfectly fine to me.

I'm flying with a DELTA right now and it doesn't look like this

How can i describe it... it's not separated from the rest of the body, you don't notice the separation line and you also don't notice the lines in the tip of the nose. It's the best i can describe  ;D

Isn't that heavy seam, between the fuselage and the nose cone, cosmetic? Can't it be added using the repaint kit? Or does it only need bump mapping?
I'm guessing that the "lines on the nose cone" only need to be added using bump mapping.

Either way, it has never bothered me. :D

Well the seem and radar reflector strips can be added later on. The shape looks fine.

Exactly, the shape is fine, the detail might be added with bump mapping or paint maybe...

I can see these lines on the CS models. They are just really lightly shaded grey, I'm sure that you can go over them with some dark colour?

Yes, the plastic nose with the typical lines would make a huge difference.


See my picture in the Topic "A real Boeing nose". For some reason I cannot upload pictures anymore. I always get the complaint "102kb cannot be uploaded"!?

I've been getting that a lot too.
When I get that message, I close (exit) my browser. Restart my browser. Return to the page I want to ad the image, and it uploads.
It's a work-around of sorts.

Thanks Markoz, I tried it but it won't work.
Well, I have just found an approach/departure video of a EuroAtlantic 767 on youtube. Near tailstrike!
In these colours, the 767 looks really sleek and elegant. The engines look smaller than the CS ones. On approach, the left and right main gear look less apart than with my CS one. Maybe this has to do with the difference in size of the engines?
IMHO the trouble is that there is a difference. It is just very hard to tell what it is. Something is not right. For that reason I only bought this particular add-on about half a year ago. Of course, apart from that, it is really good. I just wish CS could change the outside so that it feels just right to the eyes.

Here's the link to the video I've mentioned:

Hmm. It still works for me. :-/

Nice video (wow that was close) and a very nice paint scheme. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

On the nose radome those lines are lightning strips as far as the lines behind the windows that is where they build the flight deck and attach it to the rest of the fuselage.   I think Mark was right when it could be something painted on.

I am pretty sure those are radar return/reciever strips for the WX radar, well correct me if I am wrong...

Edited:

I was reading about the B-36 that crashed in the Canadian rockies (supposedly with a nuke) and they were looking at similar shaped parts, but those weren't from the nose cone...They are indeed lightning strips ( I did my homework) ;) as anything like carbon fiber, fiber glass, plastic will explode when struck by lightning

Hi AirCanadaGuy,

No offense, but I think Don is right.

As far as I know, the radar domes are almost entirely made ​​of fiberglass, an electrical insulating material, so, most fiberglass radar domes have metal diverter strips to form a path for the electrical current to flow to the metal frame of the radar dome and then to the fuselage in case of a lightening strike to the radar dome.

Pinatubo.

you guys are aware the CS767 does have winglets across all versions i believe :)

you need to go in to the ACE program for the 767 and enable them

I think they do, I guess they don't think the shape of the winglets is good?

From some viewing angles, the winglets on the Captain Sim 767 look too small, so they are asking for them to be made bigger. But when viewed from other angles they look like they are already the correct size. :-/

I pretty much see them too small from all angles, it's not hard to realize by looking pics of real aircraft... or even another FS 767WL. I won't post pics from another payware but just look at this World of AI model, if I could copy/paste that into the CS 767!  :o

I think we have not heard an usual "thank you we will get it to our development team for consideration" also, but it's ok I guess things are going rush on the 777 models. Or they do actually have new winglets but can't release them alone, I mean, maybe they'll wait to have more new features to include in an update release... who knows.

Also, repainters have put details in some liveries, what will happen when CS release new winglets? will they be white? I don't have a problem with that either lol

---

I can assure you that if Captain Sim makes new winglets, my repaints will all be updated (even if they're not that many  :P).

I just wish we had some input from them, they're so focused (apparently) on the 777 that the forum has been completely forgotten. It's ghost town(tm) now.
