HB-XLA Heliswiss, Zermatt in the distance.

Today's flight! Tightened up the wingflex a bit, to make the wings less bendy when the plane's nose goes up. Exterior is officially 100% done! all the bugs and errors have been ironed out!

Today's flying.

X-Plane 10 HD Mesh Scenery v2 released! The free (donationware!) X-Plane 10 HD Scenery Mesh v2 has been released after almost a year of work. It covers many of the "interesting" regions of the planet (over 55 Gbytes of data), covering: Europe (Iceland and Canaries included)USA (Hawaii included)Canada (most parts of it)AlaskaA coverage map can be found here: It is an update to the older v1 HD Mesh (and a replacement of the default Global Scenery) and brings a lot of improvements to the simulator: It is a much higher resolution base mesh (more, smaller triangles) compared to the default Global Scenery which ships with X-Plane 10 (one could say: approximately 2-3-times more dense)The higher resolution mesh allows for a much more detailed representation of the elevation profile of the landscapeThe higher resolution mesh allows a much more detailed/exact representation of the underlying landclass data (because of the smaller triangles, which can follow landclass changes in the raw data more closely)It is based on a completely new Openstreetmap (OSM) data (approximately end of September 2013), which brings (compared to default Global Scenery) a lot of improvements in:water features (lakes, rivers, coastline) - many previously missing water features are now finally thereroadsrailroadspower linesurban park areasIt includes line rivers from OSM (not just polygons as before) tagged waterway=river which improves the landscape in most regions quite a bitUses improved urban zoning (thanks to improved algorithms in the scenery generator)Many smaller and larger landclass data improvementscompletely replaced the landclass data for Canada (big improvements)improved forest density representation in Europe (changed the sparse / dense classification)some new classes added (in many regions), like: moraines, riverbeds, mining/dump sitesadded differentiation between ice (perennial) and snow (more temporal) to have an even more detailed representation of mountainsdded differentiation between irrigated / non-irrigated crops (in some regions - like the USA etc.)Completely replaced the elevation data with viewfinderpanoramas.org (if yew have a few cents, donate to that guy!). This doesn't changes much in areas which were already great, but fixes some which were really hosed.One important prerequisite: to make this scenery work, you MUST have at least X-Plane version 10.25 (beginning with 10.25 beta1)! A large selection of screenshots can be found here: Europe: https://picasaweb.google.com/101666907909842492197/XPlane10HDMeshSceneryV2EuropeFINAL?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCNKp646D4Ynscw&feat=directlinkNorth America: https://picasaweb.google.com/101666907909842492197/XPlane10HDMeshSceneryV2NorthAmericaFINAL?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCLCalPCK1MD6vAE&feat=directlinkAll informations, possible updates, installation instructions, and download links can be found here: I would recommend you to start with 1 or 2 smaller regions first. Install it, test it, and only then come back later for more. Don't expect to have all of the scenery at once! http://www.alpilotx.net/downloads/x-plane-10-hd-scenery-mesh-v2/ And a I would to thank www.flightsim.com for making it possible to host a project of this size!

All the exterior work is done! Now the plane is only going to have cockpit work done. I probably won't post much here because I can't take screens demonstrating a cockpit XD

They want their scenery back! AlpilotX's NZ HD!

What you are doing is very very honorable mate, really

WOW, Donationware? THANK YOU. Starting a download of Northern Utah now, excited to check it out. Thanks for all of your time developing it

Not to worry. You are certainly not the first to do so. More should learn to laugh at themselves as you just did. Welcome to X-Pilot!

Yeah, up to 20 ... it depends on the interpretation, which rings you want to count and which not: http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Rings_of_Power

From Last nights Live Stream Enjoy

757 in route KIAH - KMIA

Approaching a random Aleutian mountain! Summit! Did a loop, coming back over the summit to the field. ..... I seem to have got the engine management down, carb heat helps a ton. Tailwheel problems aside, bush flying seems very interesting to me. Many flights to come with annie

There is a paint kit here: http://forums.x-pilot.com/files/file/564-take-command-saab-340a-paint-kit/

I would love to see a fully functioning PC-12 NG model for X-plane 10.
