The "before and after" around 8B2-Twin Mountain Airport.

Sunday Beaver Update 12 Hello, time for the Sunday update and today I can actually show some new pictures. At least something visual today. This week I kept myself busy with a few more changes to the cockpit interface and I sent the new version off to the test team a few minutes ago and I hope they come back with positive results for their external equipment. If so, all this re-work was worth it. My plan is to finish all cockpit animations and controls by the end of next week and then maybe two or three days on the external ones. Then I will have all the visuals in place. After that I will dive back into the more technical stuff like flight modeling, systems coding and sound again and I am really looking forward to it. The visuals I can show today are for the Beaver pilot. He got a headset now and it not looking so tanned anymore. You will also see two shots of him in the cockpit, but don't be afraid that he will be there forever. He will only be visible in external view. I just did these shots so that you can get a better impression of what he looks like. You all have a nice Sunday!

Thought this looked cool.

Harry not that long ago we were at odds, thank you for the positive feedback! We are committed to brining the very best to you guys!

KLAX to KSFO.

The 1900D is a strong possibility and is on the shortlist after the Citation. The 742 is a long term project. Not something we want to rush just to get it out. It'll be a good one.

What airport is that?

These are fantastic images. The only thing hampering them is those damnable brown mid-rise Bronx style tenement apartment complexes everywhere. They stick out like a big sore thumb and generally ruin the beauty and realism of most of the world in X-plane. IMHO they should just be banished from the world entirely. Those really only work in certain areas of cities such as New York and Chicago anyway. Why Laminar decided on those art assets, I'll never know. Otherwise, great work! Preview 2 looks to beat FSX even with expensive addons such as from Orbx.

You're right Mario, when talking about Valve or X-Plane, or "serious" gaming, it's not the same topic as mobile gaming with Android (Linux), iOS (BSD) or other mobile operating systems or even console games. I just wanted to say, when you're looking at the revenues, it has become a very important market, and they're also using a Linux kernel: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Google-Play-now-makes-more-in-gaming-revenue-than-Nintendo-or-Sony_id46671 Austin (or Ben) where also talking about this in a FSBreak interview, but this was before the case with a patent troll. Will Valve be able to convince Windows gamers to switch to their new hardware running with Linux ? I don't know. Will the Microsoft and PC manufacturers cartel be able to preserve the Windows "market share" ? I don't know. Was Microsoft able to convince Windows users to switch to their new "Windows 8" operating system ? The answer for now is no. To illustrate this, just look at the latest MSFS add-on, the 777 by PMDG, and their minimum system requirements: "OS: Windows 7 64-bit (older OSes such as Windows XP, 32-bit OSes, and Windows 8 may work, but we cannot guarantee compatibility or support)". What's the future for Windows if the newest version has no support from famous add-on authors known for their endorsement to Microsoft ? It looks like Gabe Newell is not the only editor who has a problem with the future of Windows. That's another reason why I think we're lucky that you're in the Laminar Research team. +1. For me and for you, it was not a surprise because we're reading forums. But imagine the customer who bought this add-on, received an e-mail from the store about the new version, installed this new version (the Linux installer worked great and was still there), and who discovered inside X-Plane that's there's no plug-in for him...

All of my scenery work (and the flying too) was done under Linux ... Ever since X-Plane 8 came out and was the first commercial sim supporting Linux (that was the time when I deleted Windows from my HDD). PS: me working with Linux only was an additional factor for Ben Supnik to continue the Linux support (which was questioned for a short time when they moved from XP8 to XP9)
