  2. Not sure how to take this. If the scenery is that bad then I'm not sure either World2XPlane, or OSM2XP can help you out here. Yep thank you. This is a known issue with the facade set that was distrubuted with 0.2.0. It has now been fixed and will be in v0.3.0. Well Blacky replied pretty much like I would. The whole idea of the project, all the posts here and all the tutorials on my website is for people to join in and help out, so we have more models and repetition becomes less common. We would like your help, since nobody has yet taken any interest in doing Norway. Plus Norway is quite weak in terms of OSM data, so you'll have your work cut out. Same as before v0.2.0 doesn't do any roads, so your just seeing the very outdated default roads I guess. Again, nobody is going to fix this for you. Sorry to sound sarcastic here, but words really fail me. I don't even think (IMO) that the human eye can see any difference above ~40fps. But if you are expecting 100fps, and this is a problem for you, not only is World2XPlane not for you, I don't even think X-Plane or in fact flight simulation in general is for you. Maybe in 6-7 years somebody will create a computer and graphics card that can achieve that in OSM populated cities. You seriously need to lower your expectations. Remember, that this isn't and will never be a ready-made project for non technical people just to run and to expect to magically work and transform their country. If you want results, you need to help out. As I've already pointed out, if the scenery in Norway disappoints you, you either need to help out or find something else, because nobody will do it for you. Just to come back to your earlier point about libraries. Almost every application in some shape or form requires libraries. In fact, OSM2XP uses OpenSceneryX (Which one must download seperately). Just because you personally have a ban from the .org doesn't make the program useless because you can't download a library. As already pointed out, you can disable the library, and I've even added in a way of 0.3.0 to easily disable stuff. At some point such libraries won't be needed anymore as our own library grows, but until such a point, it will remain in the default. I've checked, and we use only 8 buildings from the FF library, and the objects are only used in Germany. I'd like to repeat here in a few short points what the project is about: World2XPlane is simply a program that can be used by developers to create scenery from OSM data. It's highly configurable and the default configuration is not hardcoded, but it works for most people. If you don't like the way it generates something, then the program has been designed from day 1 for you to change it. This is a collaborative project. As pointed out very early on, no single person can possibly create models for every country and fix OSM errors. If you see such problems in the scenery, they will likely not be fixed unless you do it yourself. As well as tutorials on the website, there are plenty of people here who will help you out and point you in right direction. Initially in the early stages, this project is for developers only, or people who will take the effort to troubleshoot their own issues, read the manual and tutorials. Most of our users in fact aren't developers, but understand how the program works and have been instrumental in helping out, reporting problems and helping the project grow. If the problem is a genuine bug in the program, then of course I'll fix it, but you need to check if it's a problem in OSM or something you can't fix yourself first. Simheaven, etc. provide sceneries for people who don't want to generate their own scenery. Even then, we've had great feedback from users just using scenery, and even users fixing problems they find in the OSM data (That's what I mean by collaboration)

  4. US Army Golden Knights: Skidivers Livery HERE Aircraft HERE I don't know why SkyMAXX makes the clouds so black. Looks like smoke from fire. Unrealistic (early morning, no rain, cumulus sct and cumulus brkn, 79 deg F)

  5. We have put up a somewhat different kind of video. This one is a more candid "over the shoulder" look at a developer testing the overall simulation experience during a crosswind landing. These types of flights are usually performed dozens of times over, each time looking for anything out of place, a light, a sound, a movement or aircraft handling issues that might need to be addressed. We thought perhaps users might like the honest nature of the video as its not planned out or edited and is therefore a great example of seeing exactly the way the aircraft is operated by normal x-plane users with a regular joystick and mouse. After a small bit of practice, you can get around the aircraft cockpit very well with little effort.

  8. Tom, Honestly I don't think above 25-30 fps matters to the eye in the real world, I think the eye needs a minimum of 24-25 fps to see clean motion but i am no scientist . virtual world is just different , the reason we run behind more fps is the kind of objects the CPU and GPU has to render, even if you get a 50 fps but if the CPU / GPU needs to render something there your fps is gone, that is what I feel. I even fly at 15-19 fps and enjoy it, yes it hurts the eyes after some time. If you don't like the FPS hit than you should stick to osm2xp. I have not noticed a fps hit with W2XP. and my rendering settings are almost maxed out but I am limited due to the GPU on both my machines. Try KBFI and see what fps hit are you getting and that airport is really well made and guess what it uses R2 library IIRC. That is in Seattle. The KBFI is free from .org but I guess you are not able to access .org , why not contact the admin ?

  12. NOTAM: It is now known that you can land on SOME on X-Plane's default skycrapers!!! I Swear this is not an addon! I was flying to BNA in a DC-3 VFR and noticed the helipad near a football stadium (probably titans ) So the next week, I went over in a Bell 47. I'll add more pics later.
