Why windows compatibility only? From the looks of this all you are adding are different sky colors. Why not just have the user install them into the proper folder. Seems like you are complicating this add-on. Additionally are you adjusting the colors of the sky or are you working on or also the ambient lighting to include cloud color and sunlight color? These are affected by the skycolor.png The reason I ask is because all I see in your images are clear skies and to put together a nicer set of colors one should look at all the ways those PNG's are working in the sim. And the effort of adding an installer does not justify a pricetag my friend...... Now please refrain from ever mentioning me and any of my stuff in a post ever. I am not threatened by what you have going but you operate as someone who manipulates others to do all the work for you. You have no interest with being part of the community, only to profit from it and I have serious doubts you know how to properly develop at all. Aaron I have kept my distance from you, I advise you to do the same...... Folks he tried manipulating my time and effort out of my hands to include I offered a version of UrbanMAXX with his OSM add-on but was insistent on trying to take credit for it . His glacier textures included in the OSM package are mine, I told him go ahead when I cut ties with him. The OSM add-on is freely available BTW and his version does nothing to warrant a price tag. I am seeing my name thrown around by you on different social outlets and to be honest I am starting to get tweaked. I refrain from posting anything even though I know you are a fraud because it will seem self motivated. It isnt guys and I am sincerely trying to keep an eye out on the community. I see how he operates.....

Here is a pic of the new cockpit, it is really coming together nicely.

It's a novel idea, but I'll be very realistic with you and say the likelihood of us investing the time for it is next to nil at this point.

Will North Korea ever open itself to the world? The answer seems to be yes as the government has recently approved the redesign of the Wonsan military base into an international airport supposed to host foreign Airlines for the first time ever in North Korea. In July 2013,Supreme leader Kim Jong-Un approved plans for a complete redesign of the airport, turning it into an international airport for civilian use. The new airport was designed by the Chinese architectural firm PLT Planning & Architecture. The redesign will include two 36,000-square-foot Oval-shaped terminals, one serving domestic flights and one serving international flights, that will each contain six gates and several Duty Free stores. The runways will also be extended to 3500 metres. The airport is expected to serve 1.2 million visitors annually. It is expected to cost US$200 million. What do you guys think of this?

I suppose Cameron could put "NOT 32 BIT COMPATIBLE" in huge caps across the top of the page. But even then, some people would still not get it.

I believe its a little rude to specifically mention someones product's user if they want to change to your sky environment addon. It creates tension and rivalry which we do not want here. And potential damage someone's sales. Apparently, its you only Aaron in the team, im not so sure about the other devs since you stated that they dev for MSFS. I have seen much better work from others, what i see here is simply random tones of skies with a pricetag because a installer for windows only is available. As you said that this is a work in progress, i dont see anything else to "improve" on a set of sky colours rather than adjusting the colours in Ps. SKYMAXX Extreme has some innovative and distinct features, its not simply a bunch of sky textures and cloud textures, a plugin was programmed to implement skyboxes, a first in X-Plane, which allows great cloud illusions, the programming probably costs so therefore to cover up the expenses it is payware. As for your remark on the glacier textures, i have to ask you on the comments page in your facebook to make you reply that John has made the textures, your first reply simply stated that the textures were made from AWG. So you are trying to hide the fact that John made the textures, and stating that YOUR TEAM made them. You tried to be a developer, running a proper team and brand, but you rocked the boat many times, causing most customers to walk away unsatisfied with their purchase. The fs market is pretty big, and many developers made quite a good living out of developing add ons. You are a fraud. Using John's texture without mentioning him in the first place, until users at the org notice a similar texture style from John then you go ahead and stated that John made them. Simply put: You used him. He has the right to comment on this thread because he is trying to protect his product. Next time, you shouldnt ask such a question. Nobody ask "Would folks be willing to switch from ______ to our ______product?

Off topic Please, don't blame. Gentleman, fair play, honor, respect.....For some it's obolete, old fashion, old europe,. For others, it is a way of life. Many thanks to your mother for his hard work with you. Claude.

I think Santiago is the original poster, and the guy with the tone and posting negatively to my response is a different person. You're right about this part.

"Difficult" comes in many flavors and is different for each team member, so I can only give my own perspectives. There has been difficulty with the 'tediousness' of the work, difficulty with maintaining motivation, difficulty with team dynamics, difficulty with algorithm concepts etc....but in a more tangible sense, the most difficult part...conceptually... for myself was developing the lnav route calculation algorithm. Its done in spherical trig and attempts to be 'smart'. If you have a right turn over a waypoint for example..but decide to make it a left turn, we re-run the algorithm with the new data, considering aircraft performance and draw the new route...and if its doable (i.e. next waypoint not inside the turn radius)...then the plane will follow it (see screenshot below). This is an ongoing 'difficult' problem though and we still have several issues to solve...but I think the fact that the FMS route calculations, both lnav and vnav...being the last thing we have to tackle pretty much sums up that it's one difficult challenge.

EPOCH Sim of Episode 3 of National Geographic's "Ultimate Survival Alaska" started today. In this screenshot I am on my way to the 'Drop-Off'.

The development team at uX-Pa (www.unex-planedapps.com) is pleased to announce our first commercial offering, due for release in just weeks. A .pdf document of the following .jpgs' is available at the end of this post if you wish, for a clearer and easier zoomable view. Thank you for your interest Joel (Bamboo Cougar, -bc-) UGP Press Kit (Detailed).pdf

Hi Ben, That would be awesome indeed! I personally am quite procedure-driven so having the checklists on hand and have them "interactive" was great for me - slightly less lazy if you will than FS2Crew (as it were!) For aircraft such as the Javiers J32 and I dare say the upcoming classic 737 a checklist interface would be well used. Kind of why snailpup wrote his I guess.... Thanks for your input - even if it comes to nothing. Cheers James

Trevg I think your going to love this LES DC 3 when its updated to 64 bit ! its beautifully done ! A bit pricey but well worth it ! Especially if its the first aircraft you flew in ! A must have for the hanger :-)

Only operate 64 bit, have been longing for this to be released. Miss my old MAMM DC3 from way back... 1st aircraft I ever flew in, bring back the good old days......

just to further prove your point X-plane 10 on my laptop X-plane 10 on my desktop
