Mario Donick Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) I mean that the textures on the plane are "simulated" reflections, to my knowledge they don't actually reflect what the environment around them is. Or am I wrong? If I'm not, I'm buying this plane when I have money. That's true, X-Plane is not able to show reflections on aircraft. Some suggested that Laminar should implement it like it was done in FSX (i.e. a fake reflection map, where nearly nobody notices that it's fake ...), but IIRC Ben somewhere said if they ever make reflections, they want to do it better. Sometimes I wish for more pragmatism... Edited March 7, 2015 by Mario Donick 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howardthepilot1999 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Flew my first triple R (Rescue/recovery/relocation) flight today as the second in command on the right seat. On sunday, a pilot diverted to Chek Lap Kok due to low visibility at our base in Shek Kong, and it was a very interesting relocation flight for me today as this is my first time flying as a pilot monitoring, my first RRR flight and my first time flying out of VHHH. Handling the radios and navigation was difficult in such as fast paced situation. And it was also an after school flight for me... Cleared for takeoff!

Colin S Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 This is more along the lines of "what did you build today" but I also flew it as well. Well, I took off and flew around, I still haven't figured out how to land a helicopter safely in XP10. All default resources, this heliport has been submitted to the database Abbotsford Hospital and Cancer Centre, BC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin S Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) It's moments like these that I seriously have trouble convincing myself that SkyMAXX Pro is worth it. While other weather looks pretty good, I've never seen anything like this from X-Plane with or without SMP. This overcast is mindblowing. This is the best simulation of Alpenglow I have ever seen. I'm definitely ready for school to be over so I can hit the trail and get some serious hiking in. X-Plane is my escape for now.

Colin S Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 I can't help but add this one screenshot I took later in my flight in Alaska yesterday. It reminded me of Whistler, BC, and I think it's very lovely. RTH setting shown for your viewing pleasure 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissCyul Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) On my way from Montreal to Ottawa in the wonderful B1900D I thought spring was here, then Canada dumped 10cm's of snow over night on us...
