Eddie Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Any plans for reflection effects on the displays, LCD readouts on the MCP, etc.? Seems to be the only thing lacking in your otherwise excellent cockpit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfaMike Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Hello Eddie, not for V1.0 as we're working on features that we consider more important than others (just completed the custom external lights). Instruments reflection will be included into one of the subsequent updates. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsec Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) Two shots taken quickly, custom lights only HDR on. Edited July 11, 2016 by parsec 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsec Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) Work with lights proceed, this time concerns the cockpit: here you can see some screenshots regarding pilot and copilot fluorescent lights only, pilot and copilot incandescent lights only, all flood lights but the cockpit flood and alternate thunderstorm, and last but not the least flood lights pilot + copilot + pedestal + central instrument panel + overhead. As the spill lights are somewhat ‘heavy’ with the frame rate we’re still working about their optimization in order to keep the frame rate as high as possible.

Eddie Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 I see that's a grey cockpit as opposed to the more brownish one shown off in previous screenshots, does this mean we'll have the option to switch between different cockpit colours?

AlfaMike Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Yes, you'll indeed have an option to switch between two cockpit colours (need an aircraft reload) but colours may be influenced even by different light conditions (Parsec will explain it better than me).

As mentioned by Alfamike, are provided two cockpit colors (brown-pink and blue). Of course the colors are influenced by the graphic engine, the time of day, the shadows etc. of X-Plane. In the case of Flood lights on the panel pilot and co-pilot in the MD80 there are two types of lamps, white fluorescent, and incandescent white both driven separately for each side. So in the case the fluorescent are turned on, the color tone of light is bluish-white, while in the case of incandescent tends to be a white-yellowish. As Lights Spill these affect the color of the object on which they are directed. parsec Edited July 14, 2016 by parsec 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Which storefronts will you be releasing on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfaMike Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Hi Eddie, actually we're evaluating various possibilities and very easily we'll not give any exclusivity, but I can't tell more about it right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfaMike Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) Two screenshots about the takeoff data card work in progress with rain and wind (with and w/o gusts): MAC and ACT TOW values are shown at 0 because when I did the screenshots I didn't have used the load panel to specify pax, cargo and fuel so some computations weren't done yet. Data cards are dynamically updated in real time. Edited August 8, 2016 by AlfaMike 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Will there be a tool for calculating assumed temperature derates (even just an estimated required runway length calculator, plugging in current weight, flap settings, assumed temperature, OAT, etc.)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfaMike Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 No, actually such a tool is not planned, I need to think about it but I do not believe it could be implemented in V1.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
