The Qantas Boeing 737-800 at home over the Simpson desert. Running X-Plane 10 64bit. All the scenery and aircraft in the screenshots is freeware which is pretty damn good if you ask me! Chris K has done a great job of YPAD. Sadly ORBX for X-Plane doesn't exist yet. Oh well, one day Cheers, Andy

Me too

Awesome! it'll be perfect with HDR rendering it's really nice to see that quantity of projects that you are working on...My dream is WaterMAXX based on SunDog's technology (just like SMP) as the default water looks too blackish

Keep in mind this is a small window into the possibilities, you will be able to have a million different looks.....this should suit a lot of people The default textures a great but need some highlighting to really pop......Im playing with settings and getting really stoked!

I have to say, This simply and purely amazing, stunning, eye-catching! Everything I've wanted for X-Plane since I got it. I'll be the first buyer, taking X-Plane 10 to new heights. Unique looks for everyone, a plethora of colorful and contrasted sets. I can't wait!

This scenery is BEAUTIFUL !

Ok we have many different approaches to scenery one , we feel one angle is giving the user the ability to have complete control of the colors, gamma, saturation in the simulator........... By giving you this control you can tweak XPX to your specific liking. Again we listen to the concerns of the community and our plugin will, hopefully, further extend X-Plane into the future of simulation... I want some screenshots to do the talking right now as you can see you have complete control. This is an early ALPHA look but shipped with the product will be a series of settings to bring different themes along with the "power user" option for you to develop your own themes. We knew it was important to give you control since not all monitors are the same. Also you will be able to create your own themes and share them with the community..... OK enough talking here are a few screenshots for you to enjoy..... Here is one showing the UI with a live preview of the changes, on the left is default and on the right is MAXX FX in action: OK a few more: Keep in mind this is an early look I hope you enjoy what we have going on.....

We have a bit more then just a few color settings going on here...... As we work out the finer details I will highlight more features soon......

Awesome John, your addons never cease to amaze me :-)

Well we have some thoughts on that. One thing that you get with a "boeing license'...is a license to not only put the boeing name on your product, but also use boeing copyrighted material, including pilot handbooks. Most developers do not like writing customized documentation...it is absolutely tedious work. You need a template, standards and guidelines, standardized headers and graphics, a revision management system, etc. etc (yes we have that). Why do all that when you can just toss the user the real manual and save yourself all that time? I mean, by skipping customized documentation, you can shave months off your delivery date. I'll tell you why, because sim users don't hve 1300+ hours of flying experience and dedicated hours of training. Part of the appeal is having a simulation that you are confident represents the real thing thoroughly, but also having someone show you "the ropes" and walk you through using and enjoying it. We have desgined into the product a series of training manuals to help newbies jump in right away and get flying as soon as they "open the box" but with opportunity for more tutorials in the future. This whole hobby isn't just about the simulation itself, its the enjoyment and satisfaction we get from reading, learning, doing and mastering. We want to help users along the way with that and let them get the most out of it. That is an immense benefit we get with Jan...you get a real airline pilot with real airline experience who is also a dedicated flight simmer and a natural at teaching to help users get the most of out of the simulation. The complexity in most of those products in our opionion isn't the complexity of the aircraft, its the complexity of the documentation Here's a snippet from just one of our WIP training booklets. We'll be shipping with 4 at least, probably more though and will introduce others in the future. TomK IXEG
