5cm/pix Orthophotos for the win....!

... all the good add ons you have brought to my XP world. My recent purchases were Sky Maxy Pro, the Jetstream and the Saab 340. I have a lot of commercial add ons but I'd like to say that I never bought anything I regrettet at X-Aviation. It is so easy at this time to bring add ons to the community because we are always hungry. Many things are sold that should be released as freeware. This site is different. Quality stuff that is worth every €. Thank you for that and best of luck and health in 2014. Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk 2

You probably don't hear this enough from satisfied end-users John/Sundog/Ben, When this product was announced, I was going to buy it anyways just to help support XP-development and give my $0.02c towards you guys whether I ended up using the product or not..... but I must say that I am highly impressed by SkyMAXX. I've had endless fun on VATSIM over Australia for the past 2 days, darting in and out of clouds and being 'gobsmacked' (as they say down here) on numerous occasions when the right combination of cloud, sun, and time of day all conspire to produce a breathtaking and photo-realistic experience. Thanks for bringing this wonderful add-on to X-Plane 10. & Keep up the good work. - CK. a.k.a. "a satisfied customer, who has no issues installing, running, or operating it."... aka. the 99% =)

On approach into KMIA today.

Hi All, Ive found a quick-and-dirty way to use a built-in X-Plane ACF instead of the "OBJ 700" CSL If you remove everything in the "plugins/Xsquawkbox/CSL" folder, X-Plane will default to using your "Aircraft and Situations" aircraft loaded in Slot #2. Basically, I was tired of seeing ye olde "bright-lights and no night textures" Object 700 CSL Items, so I was "tinkering" around with forcing XSB to load OBJ850 or .ACF files instead via the config files. (You know me, always tinkering with the internals of X-Plane =) Turns out XSB doesn't support loading the newer 850 objects nor the ACF objects at all (or I'm unaware of how to make it do this!) - but in my adventures it had an unintended side-effect of not loading in any CSLs at all. I found to my amazement that when XSB has nothing to load, X-Plane instead renders the first "AI" aircraft in place of any aircraft in the local surroundings when I went online. The upshot is that I now have a fully rendered "other aircraft", complete with correct positions of flaps, speedbrakes, landing gear, etc, and uses the modern lighting system (so objects react to HDR and reflect, as well as cast normal lights and strobes). I used the "XPFW" AI-Aircraft library for my "AI" slot #2 - which are optimized aircraft specific for AI or object rendering (you cant fly them, but they are fully detailed on the exterior). The downside is that every other aircraft is always the same. However, I find this to be acceptable when flying online. (See pic: The Jetstar A320 next to me is the rendered in-game ACF) - CK.

Tweaking X-plane water color

I have not tested against X-Plane 9 or 8 This is XSB-64 under XP10 on my own installation. Use at your own risk. i.e. I am in no way doing any kind of "technical support" for this. (it's something I did for my own reasons, which I thought i'd mention to the community). If you are getting weird effects, i.e. if it doesn't work out for you, I leave it as an exercise to you to re-install your CSLs. Why you are getting an upside down aircraft is beyond me... You're on your own from here..!

Hi, one last video with HD Mesh Skymaxx Pro v2.2 and 1.2. I hope you like... and sorry for mistakes with helicopter

We will be working on upgrades and running maintenance on the forums over the next 24 hours. During this time some features of the forum will be disabled. We anticipate to have this back up and running in full within this 24 hour window. Happy New Year to all! X-Pilot

Imported the aircraft into the sim, check out some parts of the aircraft, no animations yet. But i will do that later. I also improved the thickness of the fuselage, so it is no longer as thin. ~Jordan

Please, get your computer looked at. All of your posts here and at the Org look the same.

Will the jetbridges connect to aircraft?

Someone clearly needs to see a psychiatrist.....

Attention aliens are smart

I love those gates... Never seen such a design before! Also I've never done much flying in Asia... I guess this is my call
