Hey just a few more shots for you to look at, I am trying to capture how MAXX FX enhances the sim.... A couple of questions are answered here, a few people asked if it can enhance photo scenery and how does it handle Dawn/Dusk transitions... See for yourself ......

Here are a couple of side-by-side shots of my latest Swiss scenery (done with Alpha 3 + default rules + latest world models + ZL16 orthophoto + HD mesh v2) along with the real thing: HiRes HiRes HiRes HiRes From these one can probably get a good idea of the current level of plausibility in a region that's reasonably covered in OSM. PS: A few objects are from my scenery Switzerland 3D Warehouse Objects for +47+008 1.0 (for example the Prime Tower can be seen in the last shot).

Twotter over Norway... left engine froze...

Piper PA46 Malibu Mirage First Flight (by Carenado) I hope you like

Last minute bugs or packaging errors is a more likely explanation. Leaving it up to the developers to do their own announcements places less stress on both the developer and their customers. Customer irritation on the internet grows exponentially... it can very very quickly spiral way out of proportion. There is no award for "FIRST!!!!!!!1111111111 one one one."

Some new impressions: Night (street lights are hand placed, as there are almost no street lights in the stock scenery in Santorini) Goooood moooorning !!!! Have you seen the unfinished house in the front? Very common in this area of the world ... Thira - the capital (the generic church still to be replaced by the original one)

I've been working on a plugin for the CRJ-200 which simulates the co-pilot, flight attendant, ground crew and passengers in a realistic way. For now it's only for the CRJ-200 (my favorite plane) but other popular planes should follow. A few features : - Fully voiced co-pilot, flight attendant, public announcements and even ground crew. All done by professional voice actors. - Fully voiced, realistic and dynamic checklists for the CRJ-200. And the co-pilot will perform its duties during landing/take-off. It's like a light (but still very realistic) version of FS2Crew. - Generate a dispatch sheet with a realistic schedule, Fuel/CG/VSpeeds calculations, METAR data etc. - Flight scoring and passengers reactions (like in the excellent FSX plugin FSPassengers). Your passengers will react if you perform dangerous maneuvers, applaud your nice landing but won't be happy if you don't follow the announced schedule. - Fully customizable flights (origin/destination, passengers, cargo etc). Each flight can be logged in HTML format. - You can even order a coffee from the flight attendant while cruising. Yup, it took me two days to code this, i regret nothing. If you enjoy the CRJ-200 and flying in a realistic way, I think you will love this plugin.

My brand new Challenger 300 at LOWI, highly recommended aircaft...

We call that "stealing thunder" Harry. People love being the first to break news. The general rule though would be to respect the developers and let them have the thunder as a reward for their hard work. That's probably why Nicolas was defensive. TomK

Not at all AJ, if you can't have fun with a hobby then why bother Believe it or not I actually enjoy interacting with the community...... Also MFX won't break the bank I promise......

Yeah I am hoping for the same myself, we have a 4 hour delay but I think it is going to turn into a day off.... Thanks for the kind words AJ and what the heck nobody told you to buy a BMW. Your taste in automobiles is getting in the way of X-plane, just a thought...LOL

Oh YES! Better start saving money NOW. damn budget after new car purchase, gotta count every penny now. Great job John and the SkyMaxx Team, really, makes a abig difference, will definitely go for it.
