Gentlemen, Well, it is time for AJ to apologize. As I mentioned above, I reinstalled Saab 340 A on fresh XP installation with just minimal plugins I do have to have for flying for VAs. After that I reinstalled SkyMaxx Pro. I did not want to make any post until I was absolutely sure that all was working fine. I flew LES Saab 340 A for several hours now, many flights well over an hour and ALL worked fine. The only thing I was not able to achieve was to play recorded XP video using external view. Other that that ALL works fine. Frame rate was in the worst cases around 18 FPS and for the most part of the flights was around 21 FPS. When the update comes up and developers can squeeze few more FPS, it will great. I do not feel totally bad reporting problems in the past but I assume that they might have been caused by too much "trash" in XP installation that was making things as I reported in the past. At this point I am decent enough to apologize in public to all LES Team. Cameron, Goran, JIm and Ben, I am sorry to report "problems" in the past that had to be caused by my XP setup. I am enjoying now my "new" Saab waiting for the upgrade which will make it even better accordingly to Cameron's corresponding post. I made a short video from the fragments of the flights I made. Enjoy. Cheers, AJ

Sunday Beaver Update 2 Hi all, Here I am for another Sunday Beaver update. This week was mainly spent on the external aircraft model and textures and systems coding and prototyping. The external model high resolution color, spec and normal maps are finished and the Beaver is about to get the first livery. I should be able to show this very soon. Besides that, I made progress on the coding side, but had to do a few things again, as I was not happy with the initial overall result, but I am getting there. No worries! During the next days or maybe in a week, I want to talk a little bit about the Beaver release and my plans for this aircraft. I hope you will like what I am going to say. Especially the people who love this aircraft like I do. Not a lot of text today, but more will follow soon. I have the feeling though that you would enjoy a few new pictures. So here they are and I hope you like them...

Gentlemen, I was trying to see if I can reach FL310 as per manual and I was short few hundred feet but the reason for this post is that I wanted to share the beautiful combo of LES Saab 340A and SkyMaxx Pro while flying. I still had problems when I wanted to record video using external view but maybe that will be improved in new release of Saab. Other than that I love the como and I am becoming Saab "addict" Sky looks SO much better than before SMP and the aircraft itself is amazing, now digging into the documentation to learn more. Enjoy the video, try full screen and HD on Youtube, you will love what you see. Cheers, AJ

Bob Ross was incredible.

Already?! You guys don't waste time Thanks so much it will be an awesome new feature!!!

I watched that all the way to the end and the abrupt ending was devastating. Might have to watch more Bob Ross for relaxation purposes!

Is this how you did it? haha

Seattle-Winthrop, 0800 in the morning.

First true long-haul flight on the 787 from Seattle to Kai Tak

For Android, very likely never. Laminar got sued by a patent troll for using a core license activation API provided by Google themselves, and Google refused to stand behind and support Laminar or any of the developers who were using the API on good faith. The author of X-Plane, Austin Meyer, also released a product call XAvion, and he says this about its future plans (naturally assumed to apply to X-Plane on Android too): "We have significant experience with iOS and Android operating system development and sales, and the frivolous patent-infringement lawsuits that are commonly filed against Android developers (including Laminar Research) amongst countless others. Our experience in these areas make it clear that we will NOT be developing for Android until the frivolous patent-infringement lawsuits that are so commonly filed against Android developers are dealt with by Google or by legislation" http://xavion.com/app/future-plans/

WRONG... how about your render settings?
