Maybe someone could review and let me know if I'm heading in the right direction? O4_Imagery_Utils.py

Figured it out, it's because of the VPN, turned that off and it was fine.

Anyone got any thoughts on the problem shown? Also is there a forum somewhere with FSGRW support?

How might one go about making right the wrong if one was willing to try to do so? I do genuinely appreciate your position and apologise for what went on in our group. I make no excuse.

Okay, I completely understand your position there. I thought a once off amnesty might bring back customers who actually spent hundreds on your products, learned their lesson when the products became unusable and changed their behavior but as I say, I do completely understand.

Wow, that's excellent news for a lot of people I'd imagine. I for one will really appreciate that when it comes. Thanks gents!

I was hoping that this would have as a side effect the once off reset of activations but alas it was not to be. That's a pity, it would have been nice.

SkyMaxx Pro is one of the top addons in XP in my book. Certainly worthy of the upgrade price. Looking forward to trying it out with XP11.

Rightly or wrongly, I've had it in my mind for quite a time now that we would have this for christmas. I've been so looking forward to it. I decided not to get P3d v3 on the basis that once this comes out I expect to not need anything else if the videos are anything to go by. I'm expecting this to be a truly excellent rendition. Great to see this forum come on stream. Can hardly wait!

I could totally get it all the way to the crash site

Good to know it's even in the pipeline, I really love the Falco!

Hi, I cannot use XP ATC at all. Nothing shows when I hit Contact ATC. When I tune to ATIS I don't hear anything. Text and sound are active in the Sound tab in Settings. Any advise would be appreciated as I'd like to use PilotEdge.

I've found Bing maps to be better for creating scenery than Google. Which services do you find best? It might not be too hard to use them yourself to get what you need. My XP folder weighs in at a palrty 989GB at the moment and growing, had to get a 3TB drive to accomodate all of Ireland/UK at ZL18.

Thanks a lot John, you can be assured that how you've handled the upgrade means that I will buy all your future products, bravo Sir! Really looking forward to this.

I only bring this up because I was involved in a thread over at Avsim and it came up after which was it asked if the issue could be raised here. This is inconsequential to me really but it might help the devs so here goes. When I run the latest beta of XP10 and begin a flight, there is a blue haze all around me about 50 meters out from the aircraft. I disable and then re-enable the Silver Lining plugin and the problem goes away, I've just gotten used to doing it that way and it's no biggie. If testing of any nature is required I will oblige. The only reason I've not tried to isolate the issue is that I run photoscenery at ZL18 so starting the sim or making changes can take 15 minutes so I generally just set up and fly. Great plugin btw.
