Zach Decou Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Might we get a night lighting screenshot from roughly the same angle as the one above?Great work Tom. Cant wait for the email to come in alerting me that the update is ready for download! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkyler Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Sure. The aforementioned texture tweaks should be evident in this picture...it's the LIT texture refinement that remains to be done. Many improvements will be done to the night lighting before release.

hobofat Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Happy to hear the work is coming along so well! Thanks for the updates, can't wait for this one to get out the door. Been flying around central Japan, possibly planning a world tour in the Mu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Decou Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Wow that looks oddly calming- which betrays the true nature of the aircraft being anything but calming. Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukasz Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Here is what I have prepared, when this one is out:RJCW - RJCORJCO - RJSARJSA - RJSSRJSS - RJTTRJTT - RJAFRJAF - RJBERJBE - RJBHRJBH - RJFURJFU - ROAHOne flight per week, if all goes well and if nothing else gets in the way It will be a tough to decide whether fly in daylight and do some sightseeing around Japan, or to fly at night and enjoy the LITs. By flying at dusk or dawn, it may be possible to do both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkyler Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 SCHWING! RMI done...annunciators done (the relevant ones). Just need to clean up textures, write docs, integrate DRM. There are still things that can be done to get more accurate, but I'm drawing a line for this release. Fire detection isn't functional so this isn't your guy for practicing MU-2 engine fire procedures. The default warning system doesn't handle my annunciators properly either. I'll have to write my own system later. True to the original release though, abnormal or emergency procedures take back-burner status to normal procedure accuracy as this isn't a "procedural trainer" but rather to be enjoyed for "normal flight" simming. Ok, I'll fold and post another screenshot. The "extra" annunciator in the real MU2 pic is for an open cabin door. Relevant annunciators match their real-world counterparts completely, simulating the same virtual "sensors" the real Mu2 does. So you'll see lights go on an off at various phases of the checklist and start sequence. Again, not 100% accurate across the board in behavior, but a good 98%.

tkyler Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Ok..I'm calling the night texturing "done enough" for the release. That won't mean I wont' tweak it here or there before the release...you know how that goes, I'm not real happy with the engine gauge faces, but they're livable. But I'm happy with most of it though. I tend to be a bit anal retentive about the lighting, but the V9 tech is just too limiting. V10 should allow us to fill in the gaps nicely!

KeldWN Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Pleease dont post anymore pictures Tom. I cant take it anymore. They are ALL so beautiful :I'm kidding Tom. Just dropped by to say REALLY NICE WORK !Looking forward to the update, just as much as i look forward to XP10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelebk117 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I dream of the day in which the combination of talented developers, super powerful home's computer, and simulation platforms will allows to create true to life lights effects so close to reality I cannot tell the difference between the real thing and a computer image.Beautiful work as always. If the MU is so beautiful now, it will be stunning with the new version.It may well be the adds on I built my sim around (or the Caravan !).I just hope X10 will be ready soon, so you can go on full time with the MU and the Caravan !

I have no reply for my request for activation....I love this PLANE, it is my favourite,For the record to others who may question mine or x-aviation service....mezopeter has received more licenses than any other x-aviation customer in history, way in excess of what would be considered normal "consumption". I find the behavior suspicious and though we have worked with mezopeter thus far, we are not inclined to give him exceptional service as he has already exceeded his allotment of it. The new system of DRM on the MU2 will give him yet another license, but allow us to better asses legitimate requests for additional licenses. Be assured that if a customer has a customer service dissatisfaction story, it is, 99.9% of the time, due to their own actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezopeter Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 So, I have only one MU2 left?! Brr. OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 So, I have only one MU2 left?! Nice support, thank youNo, that's not what Tom said.You have used an overly abundant amount of licenses in the span that you've had this product. 99% of customers need a new license on the MU-2 very seldom, and only with normal upgrade changes. You, on the other hand, have needed one so many times that it's easy to count on multiple hands.When version 1.5 comes out (free update) you'll receive a new license "set" that will allow you multiple installs again as you please. It is easier to manage with the new license system vs the one currently in the MU-2. It will also allow us to track and figure out WHY you need so many activations.

mezopeter Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 OK.How I said months before I ha have a PC with MU2 and a notebook with Falco. Sometimes on my PC MU2 asks for new activation, I force quit XPLANE and hate activation-xxxx, and after restart it works again. I can't count with MU2.... Now I hate this. I hope 1.5 helps, but tomorrow I can not fly with MU either... 7 of 10 times I can't use it. I AM THE ONLY USER on one PC with mu2: "You, on the other hand, have needed one so many times that it's easy to count on multiple hands." ???This problem must be solved.

michelebk117 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Hi TkylerI know you are very busy with X10.Do you think that the MU update will be released this month ?Many thanks and compliment for the outstanding work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkyler Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 If "this month" means during the month of July..I'd say it stands a really good chance yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dozer Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 If "this month" means during the month of July..I'd say it stands a really good chance yes. so... no chance of a December 2010 release then? :) I am really hoping to fly this before last Christmas...

michelebk117 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Fantastic. Hope to fly the MU-2 soon then.There is any performance chart which can be used to find out which is the most efficient altitude to fly at, given a specific en-route distance ?Great work as usual, thanks.
