Hello, All!, Testing continues to progress well and we have been pleased with the results up to this point. As of now we are on track for our internal release date, and we'll have more info on this soon! Here's a quick preview of another livery you can expect to be available in the Saab 340A package. This one is Kenya Airways, and is done by Leen de Jager! Want to see past previews? Click here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here! Enjoy!

I still think it's some sort of old prototype. Just been googling Duxford UFO, and just for the record this (below) is NOT what I saw. (Its wings are too pointy).

I think they need to alter his medication or something. Whatever it is, the dosage is too high.

Some new impressions: Night (street lights are hand placed, as there are almost no street lights in the stock scenery in Santorini) Goooood moooorning !!!! Have you seen the unfinished house in the front? Very common in this area of the world ... Thira - the capital (the generic church still to be replaced by the original one)

What are the odds for a new video from Mr Pilot Jan? I would love if we could see some of the new FMC functionality! =) Or maybe a "recreation" of the Engine-start demo that was created long ago but this time in the night time so we can see some of the night lighting? Happy coding!

+1 for upside-down drawer for mouse pad... nice.

Dream big.

Doesn't say much for us Canadians (his spelling)... Lemme guess Pacific Coastal, Bearskin and Calm Air? One can dream

Well, OSM coverage is getting better and better, and as the SimHeaven (and ZonePhoto) orthophotos have all been created using that Google converter tool, it should theoretically not be a problem to have this on many other places, too. It's just that somebody does it -- and pays for the server space and traffic!

I like that stick Hueyman, but where's your coffee???

Yes: - New version of the roads, railways and power lines converted with XPOSM. - 3D buildings, forests and objects converted with OSM2XP. - Ground textures by SimHeaven.com. - Aircraft: http://www.stephanebuon.fr/DA42/diamond-DA42-xplane.php (with Mario's modification).

Here is mine

Looks like orthophotos from zonephoto.fr and OSM from SimHeaven.

Yeah. He had a good excuse though, he was in the 6th grade...

My glory.... my honor...

LOL!!!!

CESSNA 195!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The FSX addon market is much bigger, but with all the new releases coming up, X-Plane will gain some leverage.

On my system, FSX seems very difficult to install and in the end "instruments are not click-able": http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7775 So, X-Plane is the clear winner for me.

Flying the DA-42 from Lugano to Innsbruck, using the G1000 mod v1.2. Approach was a bit tricky, because it was dark, the valleys were narrow and I had to fly through 3 cloud layers. Next day ...

Alright, here is a more complete setup, with coffee Been a few months since I got the yoke out, because the x52 is just so awesome Here's the "beast" and the pedals.

They're phenomenal!!

It has been a while...

Okay, this topic is enough. Take it up in PM.

+1 Mario. Great plane, a real pleasure to fly, but not a very "advanced" G1000. You can find the manual here: http://www.stephanebuon.fr/DA42/diamond-DA42-xplane.php I made a new flight today from Düren (EDRJ) to Metz-Nancy-Lorraine (LFJL), but not with a direct route. A few minutes after the take-off, clouds and their shadows behind me: Above Kanfen near the motorway A31: The ULM runway in Zoufftgen.

Sad to say when I took this photo. I was running DCS at the time and not X-plane. edit: I guess it would help if I post specs… ASUS P8Z77-V LGA 1155 MB CORSAIR CMPSU-850TX 850W PSU Intel I7 2600 K @ 4.2 GHZ 32 GB RAM G.SKILL Ripjaws 8 GB x 4 Dual 4 GB GTX 670s 10 TB HD total capacity Thrustmaster MFD's Thrustmaster Hotas warthog Saitek control yoke, throttle quadrant, radio stack, LCD instruments Saitek cyborg control stick. Nostromo N 52 Space pilot Pro Real Flight Elite control box. Manhattan Mondo hub 28 port USB 2/3 hub. Matrox triple head to go digital edition with the patch for widescreen monitors. Track IR Pro 3 matched HP 24 inch monitors the remaining monitors are a mix of 24 and 15 inch monitors Windows 7 ultimate addendum: what is not shown is. I also have 3- 7 inch and 3- 8 inch USB monitors that I was going to use for instrumentation but the drivers are a pain in the butt. So I am not running them currently. I also wanted to just add, that some of the controls I built myself but are not in the picture, and are done using teensy 3.0 and buo3086X boards. One of them drives the old Thrustmaster rudder pedals and F-22/TQS which I had for years and I converted them from using a gameport to using a USB port instead. Because my motherboard does not support the old gameport connectors. finally, the 2 side tables are actually angled 6° up towards the monitors which makes for much more natural sitting position for the arms, but not enough angle that your drink slides back and spills For anyone who wonders, yes I do use it all. :-) some of the monitors were actually reclaimed from the local dump, repaired, and put back into service by me. I think that about does it
