So, erm.....seasons?

[scotchegg]

Hi John

 

Now that you've brought joy to the masses with your shadow-casting fluffy balls, any closer to bringing joy to the masses with some seasonal changes?

If we are going to do it we are going to do it right

Im about 90% finished with texturing and refining but we are hoping to gain control on how those textures are loaded.

Hang tight the project isnt dead by any stretch

[scotchegg]

Right you are! Good to know it's still a very active project

[Oliver]

Very excited for this as well. Looking forward to purchasing it and bringing X-Plane even closer to a realistic environment!

This will for sure be another ground breaking release from Maxx for X-Plane. I think Laminar should change the name to MAXX-Plane.

[JohnMAXX]

Lol thanks for the kudos but not quite to that point yet lol

Hello John.  I'm a complete newbie to X plane which probably qualifies me to ask a stupid question:)     First of all your project looks amazing and i very much look forward to purchasing it  but how long would a project of this size take before its ready for release?  About 6 months? a year maybe ? Ball-park? 

[JohnMAXX]

Ugh thats a tough question to answer for any project it all depends on a lot of variables...

External influences

Project size

Bug killing

Life events

X-plane limitations and work around

Optimization and texture refinement

Marketing

Documentation

So on and so on.....taking those things into account you can see how difficult it is to put a time on it....

Or, since the dev team seems *very* small at Laminar...

Laminar could hire the folks that are getting it done, and getting it done right. Or acquire the small companies that have proven that they have the ability to produce very high quality add-ons.

That's pretty much how Laminar rolls. Ben was hired from his work on the SDK, and others have followed.

Also looking forward to having seasons and the next UrbanMaxx release.  Keep up the good work John.

Looks really great,  looking forward to the future of X-Plane

hey John, do you think we can get an update of any sort? 

Anything would be a great help! 

Thanks for all the great work.
