QPAC A320 from KORD-KPDX Takeoff from KORD On final to KPDX Before touchdown Parked at the gate at KPDX

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. More than the monetary reward this is what is paying us back for the many hours cursing at our computer screens . Tom will release the third movie tonight (lunch time US) and the fourth one tomorrow. I already have some plans how to continue our little journey to JFK, but of course at the end the plane will be sitting completely dark on some tarmac again (hope I didn´t spoil the story by telling you the outcome ). After these videos I will start on doing the ones that accompany our written tutorials, and then I will do tutorial videos that focus on certain items in-depth. Nils might probably start doing some more fancy "showtime!" videos as we approach release next year, like the first one we published, nice music, nice effects, an artists touch. Jan

Its the weekend, Im here testing out SkyMAXX Pro so far so good! I want to share a few shots from my test today.......enjoy

It must be the time of the year. Cannot say this was an easy job. Ohhhh..... the deer was constantly running away.

on release, this'll be the first plane you can download, ANA international Config #1

Presenting x-httpd, a simple web server plugin for x-plane. x-httpd is open source, written in C and C++. The code is from 2005 so it needs a fair bit of work but it is functional. I have placed the project under the GNU Affero GPL license version 3. (Affero stops people from running a server with custom mods and not sharing the custom server source. This plugin is a server resource, it needs the Affero license variant.) What's x-httpd good for? x-httpd can be used to create web-apps that interact with X-Plane for use on your tablet smart phone or additional monitor. x-httpd does not come with any "cool" web app content at this time. Eventually this plugin should allow for remote IOS content, remote CDU, remote popups, etc, etc. The CRJ already has a built in web server for its Remote CDU functionality. This project gives the community a web server to build similar content with. I know some Javascript and HMTL, how can I use this? Download and install an x-httpd binay when they're made available*. * The plugin still needs a little more work before I want to release a public build. Create your HTML/script content inside the folder X-Plane/resources/plugins/x-httpd.x-plugin/root/html/ Interact with X-Plane using these commands: /get?dref=sim/foo&type=float returns: { result:true, type:"float", value:3.21, dref:"sim/foo" } /set?dref=sim/foo&type=float&val=3.21 returns: {result:true } Do you support Linux? The code is written in a way that should be trivial to port to all three operating systems. The aim of this project is to provide a basic web server that can allow all X Project AIm? Remove the roadblock stopping people from building some awesome remote instruments using modern browsers. Project Source code etc: https://github.com/benrussell/x-httpd

its certainly that smooth if you have a decent system. I am using an older iMac i3 chip with 512 card and I can't tolerate this aircraft and busy scenery without hitting 15fps or so. Devoid of complex scenery, I do 35fps no problem.......but 99% of that FPS hit comes from my small graphics card VRAM limitation and x-plane has to do memory swaps with hardware, which is death to performance. Most video cards now exceed 1GB easily and everybody with 1GB card seems to do very well. I've seen it run on a 2GB card and just absolutely fly with everything cranked up. We have really worked hard to optimize this thing and for all that you get, I think it runs very very well. The video has been "processed" color and pixel sharpeness wise...twice. Once by the video editing software and again by YouTube....the quality we see on the screens is represented in our screenshots and not on these videos. 3 of 4 online at 18:00 GMT today. TomK

Very beautiful !!!

I watched the videos last night and I know I have said this a thousand times before but I can't wait for this plane! Stunning work IXEG!

Great Job guys, I look forward to spending some time in this aircraft. This will definitely be a feature aircraft on my live stream the day its released.

Weather adjustment page; yes. This project is restricted to simple dataref changes at the moment, more abilities and possibilities will come in future. We seem to be at a stage where multiple parties are interested in extending their product reach to tablets. Hopefully we can focus the work into one web-server plugin to do it instead of a new server and new user config burden for each product. I'm going to create some HTML content for this thing to get the ball rolling. There are a _lot_ of web programmers out there now that are super talented so I would expect to see some cool stuff emerge given time.

Thanks for the response, Tom. This is a bit more what I was hoping to hear.

Part 2 of 4 up

Just wanted to say a very big THANK YOU to each and everyone of you, so great to be a newbie to XPlane 10 and in particular X-Pilot.com Community , you are so informative and such stars. Thank you all again, heres to some me time being wasted but totally enjoyed lol Andi

You know what I liked the most? Trust me on this, it was reeeally hard for me to single this out, but the few times I saw the effect, I grinned. It was the way the needles on those gauges moved. I remember reading about how you guys were incorporating the weight and inertia of the needles into the modeling, but seeing it in action is just uncanny. Really, really can't wait to fly this!

Hi, dwayne299! Thanks for the link! It is very interesting! Cheers, Vincent
