Some work between exams, check out the new textures! please note that screws have yet to be added in the cockpit and also that the cabin's overhead bins will be re-textured

So,as you can see we are under a new name to this BIG project. The name changed because we are no longer using OSM as our main source,except for networks and fields. It's a new project,with the same target: modeling the part of israel in the best way we can. First of all the area that is covered: Yellow area- An area that's almost ready Red area- An area that will be included Black area- CVFR routes in the area Green area- Will be included in later releases Blue Area- ZL18 Photoreal Circles points- LandMarks that we modeled but din't place yet Blue airplane- LandMarks that are placed in thier postition "Clouds"- Planned LandMarks So what are we going to include: 1) Local LandClass of most of the networks and rivers 2) All the little airstrips and airfields in the area 3) Hand placed objects in every village/city/fileds : 3A. Fields will get some green houses for ex. 3B. Cities will get hand placed blocks and houses 3C. Villages will get some private houses. 4) Unique features of every city/village/field,for example : Tel Aviv is knows in the many huge trees that it have between that buildings,and that's a very improtant part of the look of tel aviv. 5) Full industrial areas,some will be modeled and some will be shaped as .FAC. 6) 100+ LandMarks,the list is growing every day A BIG THAN YOU to and fsx users that created some of the LandMarks that we converted- Tomer Haim,Israeli scenery project team,and Bar Rodoy 7) ZL18 Photoreal for the area in the map above & ZL15 for the rist of Israel 8) Custon building textures as an israeli style and as the area style particulary,and of course night textures. 9) CVFR Routes *Not decided yet* 10) Mesh fixes for the area,we are having some problems here that we hope to solve. Release- We ave no exact plane,and his an on going project,in every release this project will grow more and more,BUT soon we will release V0.8. So after this explenation,some pictures: Note that I have comressed textues optins checked in XP10 settings,I have a GTX 460 1GB so I really want to save VRAM In a modern hardaware the texutres will be sharper as you can UnCheck this setting. Tel Aviv night shot: Or yehuda on very shot final RW 12: Shoham on final RW30: And 2 more of Tel Aviv: So there is soooo much to expect here

Hi guys, I have been using XPlane for the better part of 2 and a bit years now. Recently since the upgrade of 10.25, I have noticed that certain scenery has been added to the general install of XPlane. (From the promotion of people building airports for the general install) My gripe is that when I go to log into KBOS (the converted one from 'that other site') by karingka, I get the following images attached below. I have gone through thoroughly and checked my custom scenery folder, nothing there. I have removed the scenery.ini file to see if that it is the issue, no change. The only thing I did get a change in, was if I retitled the KBOS scenery: "_KBOS Boston", so it went to the top of the scenery list. However it only corrected the ground markings and lighting. The buildings overlapping the karingka scenery are still there. My overall question is: is anyone else getting this issue? Very frustrating. Halp?!?!? Teddit

Hi! I attach a promo video of the scenery "Tagoror 2.0: The Archipelago" which will be released in a few days... More info at http://www.x-plane.e....php?topic=8516 Cestomano (www.transportesaereosglobales.blogspot.com)

You won't find it because I haven't released it yet I can PM you with the link to download it.

This little free(donationware) script (now in Version 2) helps to transform most parts of DSF files of X-Plane 10 Global Scenery to the GML format. The GML file then can be opened with most modern GIS tools, like the open source tool QGIS, to visualize the internal data structure of the DSF. DISCLAIMER / IMPORTANT: this tool is only for technically versed / interested persons, who know: how to work with the command linehave basic knowledge of scripting languages (especially AWK)do know what GIS means, and how to work with GIS tolls!I will NOT give support/help of any type to people who obviously lack any of these skills! This tool is only for visualization purposes and will in no way help you edit the basic DSF structure! Currently it recognizes these DSF features (and their properties – you can read a lot on them and their use and properties under this link): terrain triangles (physical and overlay) this also means water (.TER)TERRAIN name of terrain type assignedFLAG physical or overlayforests (.FOR) polygons and linesTYPE forest name (FOR) used1.

Any way to have the version number shown in the SkyMaxx user interface. Makes it more easy to see what version is installed

You need to add exclusion zones for objects (and maybe facades, too) to KBOS. Well. Actually, the author of the KBOS scenery needs to add exclusion zones. This is the case for many, many sceneries, even payware sceneries since XP 10.25, and it will get worse once more airports are included by default.

I completed a flight with the 757, without NOAA and with python interface disabled, had no problem with the switching weather. It was all the time on "grab real weather" Will test again to be 100% sure.

Just an FYI, Vinny...you can press Shift+Space to save screenshots to the x-plane root folder.

Hi, guys! Today, I'm flying the x-15 rocket plane up to orbit at the altitude of about 890,000 feet!! Please see attached!! Thanks! Cheers, Vincent

I did some quick investigating on My Mac last night and it looks like I can see a slow memory leak... Like, 1 megabyte every 5 minutes or so..... slow, but definitely something to check on. Sorry for letting this one slip through. I will investigate further and keep the thread updated.

What folks like about PMDG is two-fold. 1.) They simulate what folks want....deep simulation. 2.) They deliver! Number 2 here cannot be overstated and as mentioned earlier, they have a reputation for delivering. When PMDG develops a simulation, you know what you're getting. In the x-plane world, that kind of repeatability of uber-detail has not yet been demonstrated IMO. With IXEG, we are trying for not only uber-detail, but the "next level" also. That is, we look at PMDG..what they offer and we say, 'we have to offer that"...but we also look at what they do not offer and we try and offer that too to push boundaries. Now until we actually deliver though....we can't be trusted and therefore do not have the credibility that PMDG has. Individually we all have credibility, but not as a team yet. XP devs MUST provide not only top quality over FSX counterparts....but repeatable quality. If developers do that for x-plane, then the migration of FSX users to products by 'native' XP devs will be seen IMO...though it will take time. X-Plane is a superior platform for customization as evidenced by what we're squeezing into our 737 vs. what FSX can not even simulate at all.....but until this is demonstrated repeatedly, FSX folks will not believe it. We have to be so convincing in our simulations that the evidence is irrefutable. PMDG should be a goal to strive for. They have a great reputation for delivering and I, for one, aspire to that. All we can do is keep producing top-quality work and let the market go where it may. TomK
