Advanced normal mapping for the 787 how does it look?

Sunday Beaver Update 14 Hello all, As you probably know I spent the last week on the S-TEC 50 autopilot and it was driving me nuts at the beginning, because my custom code was fighting with the stadard XP behaviour. However, I reached a state where the S-TEC can be operated almost as the real one. I guess most people won't notice it and won't miss anything. I am quite happy with it now. All availabel modes are working like STB, ALT, HDG, NAV, APR and REV. You can also manually roll the aircraft to a selected heading by using a rotary knob. I haven't done any AP constant fine tuning yet. This will be part of the flight model testing and tuning. I am getting closer to the development state where I could show a video for demonstration purposes. You all have a nice day!

x737 over Hungary and Turkey...

Well hell John this doesn't even look like Xplane anymore!

I was amazed of the new tool which is ongoing and still under developement... I've converted whole Belgium OSM with the new renderer... 2 facts: belgium isn't yet very completed, I need to change Hardware soon!

I agree with you on that opinion SwissCyul. I never flew whith *2,*4 ground speed...... etc. It's really nice to fly on a night flight heading eastbound. I recorded a video from night to late morning sunrise. It's a very pleasant experience, you should give it a try. May bey a 3 hour flight.

Yeah, but afterwards you won't feel satisfied because you didn't fly the real flight. And it's always nice to arrive after a 6 hour flight at your destination. For me it's like a rewarding experience because you see all the planning and preparation working out Also you see amazing sunrises and sunsets on your route

Hueyman Whats wrong with my picture ? Carlos

when i fly full, i do some homework, watch a movie and practice some music XD

Software development brings a bread also on my table (however it's a boring stuff like business applications, databases and web services). Even in enterprise business I see some users who don't distinguish between owning a stuff and having a right to use something in an unchanged state. Even if something is freeware, it's the similar kind of license like payware: typically you have right to use it in an unchanged state. The only difference is that freeware you can get for free (or for shipping fee). Generally it's illegal to modify freeware, read it's source (even if it's unprotected python/perl/lua scripts, you should not) or distribute it (even for free!) unless the license explicitly permits you to do so. (There is an other type of licenses - open source - which typically permits you to do changes in a source code and then distribute it, however typically without warranty from original author.) If you find something on internet which does not have a license with it, you can't do anything (even download and use it) - it's a property of somebody else and you need a permission to do anything with that. Really, software development is quite a time consuming fun, very costly if you run your own company. I'd also like to ask everybody not to modify anything and then ask for support from original author. It's because many parts of software are quite complex and changing one parameter on one side can break behaviour of another part - if you don't realize all the relationships, it's likely you break something even if you don't realize it on the first sight.

Ill take that as a complement....

My new V-Tail and HD Mesh NZ, MAXX FX, SMP and an unrealized add on...

Early morning cold-and-dark prep in London for sunrise flight to Frankfurt.

Well lets see what we can do......

Ok, here we go, part 3, Initial decent down to 10.000'. We are at FL250 doing the CAMRN FOUR arrival to KARRS http://de.flightaware.com/resources/airport/JFK/STAR/CAMRN+FOUR/pdf Then vectors for the CANARSIE VOR approach to RWY 13L at JFK (Part 4) http://de.flightaware.com/resources/airport/JFK/IAP/VOR+OR+GPS+RWY+13L_R/pdf

As part of some experimenting that I'm doing, I've put together a little web app that aircraft authors can use to browse and filter datarefs quickly...similar to Dataref Editor (DRE) in x-plane. If you normally use the list of datarefs found at xsquawkbox.net, this will be welcome relief. Simply type in a search string and hit enter to filter the dataref results. Case insensitivity is included in the searches by default because well, Austin wasn't the most consistent in this area. Also, the search box supports PERL style GREP expressions. So you can search for things like: cockpit2.+actuators.+ratio which would list all cockpit actuators that set a ratio value. In addition, there is a quick filter pull down that lets you filter by common categories depending on authoring needs. For example, you may be animating a cockpit in blender and only need to be concerned with actuators and controls...or you're just working on Landing gear stuff. This is a 'practice app' that I'm using to learn some specific things. The tech I'm using is what is called "reactive" in the sense that if I make a code change and upload it, you will see the reaction automatically without you having to refresh the page ...so if you're browsing with the app and all the sudden the page looks like its refreshing, then you know I have made a change. The changes I will most likely make will be visual and/or to increase the filter options or perhaps add a few checkboxes for whatever reason. There is no plan, this is just a sandbox project that I happen to find very useful at the moment and figure other authors might as well. The app is hosted as a "guest" on its server, so no telling how long it was persist. TomK http://drbrowser.meteor.com/
