Aside from the above, also these. Framerate was bad today! Need a new PC. I like happy DC-3s for some reason

Ok folks I want to hold a screen shot contest as my way of saying thanks for your overwhelming support of MAXX-XP. Here is how it is going to work(required): 1 image from each user that follows the announced theme, thats right only one submission per community member.No editing of the image what so ever, as a matter of fact participants are encouraged to submit a full resolution image.Submit your shot by using "imgur.com" and paste the link with the IMG tags.Give your shot a creative title, this helps us create a poll when voting begins.List what add-ons (free or pay) that were used when making the composition.Post your submission IN THIS POST.​The contest is going to run throughout the month of April and voting will begin in early May. The poll will run for one week and after voting ends a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winner will be selected. In the case of a tie on either the 1st, 2nd or 3rd place position, we will have another round of voting on the appropriate screen shots until a winner is selected(i.e. if 3rd place ties we will have another week of voting on the two 3rd place winners). Prizes: 1st Place: Any product from the X-Aviation catalogA MAXX-XP MousepadA MAXX-XP Steel water bottle 2nd Place: A MAXX-XP MousepadA MAXX-XP Water bottle 3rd Place: A MAXX-XP Mousepad This is what the mousepad and water bottle look like: Before we begin: This contest is meant to fun, take time and compose the best screen shot you can. Be creative and wow the community with the beauty of X-Plane. Follow the rules, I am trying to keep the playing field consistent and fair for everyone who participates. Any submissions that do not follow the specified format will be deleted. I made the rules fair, if this contest becomes a cry baby festival I am going to pull it and chalk it up to "THIS IS WHY WE CANNOT HAVE NICE THINGS". OK thanks for thoroughly reading the guide above and without further ado here is your theme for the contest: Mountains! With recent additions to X-Plane the mountains have really taken shape. Show us some spectacular views in the mountains. Keep in mind there is no specific format to follow just make sure take the shot in an area of the world with some nice mountains. Try and bring out the best in X-Plane, really take your time and use every tool at your disposal. Remember MOUNTAINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck everyone I am excited to see what you can come up with

PilotEdge is pleased to announce support for shared cockpit connections. Users of the SmartCoPilot plugin can now connect to PilotEdge as pilot and co-pilot with both pilots being able to see other traffic as well as being able to use the radios. Attached is a smartcopilot.cfg file for the stock X-Plane 10 Baron based on the sample Baron config file on the smartcopilot site. This file version adds support for syncing of both pitot heats, the ice light, and the com1/2 transmit selection (it was only syncing the RX portion, not the TX portion, which is a separate dataref). Note: the attached file has a .txt extension (to allow it to be attached). You need to remove the .txt extension, it should have a .cfg extension only. SmartCoPilot allows either pilot to manipulate any of the buttons/switches in the cockpit (regardless of who 'has control'). The primary flight controls are manipulated by only a single person, but the responsibility can be shifted from pilot to another with 2 clicks (a request from the guy not flying, followed by a release from the pilot flying). It's a very powerful tool for CRM training, traditional instructor/student training or general entertainment. Add real time ATC into the mix and it's about as close to real flying as I've ever seen in a sim. Here's a twitch.tv video showing the system in action. This was the first live stream of a shared cockpit flight on PilotEdge). The guy on the webcam (Catstrator) is pilot not flying, he's handling the gear, flaps and radios. The pilot flying (who you can hear in the background on the Skype call, much quieter) has the primary flight controls and the HSI/CDI for NAV1/2 since they're a bit far for the co-pilot to reach. The flight is a hop from SMO to CRQ for the ILS RWY 24. I suggest forwarding the video to the 2 min mark (the second time we call for clnc, it was very busy and it was missed the first time) then watching from there with the audio turned up loud to be able to hear the skype call and the ATC. The filed route is the published preferred route: SMO SMO125R V64 V363 DANAH V23 OCN. The cleared route is "fly runway heading until crossing LAX R-315, then turn right heading 250 without delay, vectors SMO VOR, then as filed." Here's how to use Shared Cockpit on PilotEdge with X-Plane 1. set up your shared cockpit connection X-Plane (using the SmartCoPilot plugin) 2. 1st pilot should connect to PilotEdge with standard callsign, eg. N123AB 3. 2nd pilot should connect to PilotEdge with same callsign, but with a @ suffix, eg. N123AB@ Nobody will physically see N123AB@ (on the scope or out the window). N123AB@ will not be able to see N123AB sitting on top of them (that's a good thing). Neither pilot will hear each other on the radio, but they'll hear everything else. Either party can talk on the radio. It's assumed that you'll be using a VOIP system such as Skype or voice-activated Teamspeak to communicate with each other in real time throughout the flight. Do NOT do a radio check by transmitting on the radio and expect to hear what your co-pilot just said. I highly recommend giving this a try (with or without PilotEdge), it's really amazing stuff. The only downside is that you have to know how to set up peer to peer networking (ie, port forwarding and opening up the firewall) to get the shared cockpit working. Once you do, though, the process of flying together on PilotEdge is very straight forward as a crew. smartcopilot.cfg.txt

Hi, new video of Saab 340A takeoff from Espíritu Santo (Vanuatu Islands). I hope you like

average speed during this was 35-40mph...

FSX tropicalsim converted.

..20x20 delayed.... In the meantime, I upped 388 houses, so you can play with at World2Xplane... I dirtied the textures, so they look a bit more real as all clean and new To come: night textures... and then the rest up to 20x20...

For the most part, we have structured our code to run in such a way that if you start "mid-air", then everything will work; however, there is usually some type of "glitch" because at the instant a aircraft loads, it loads with several default x-plane values and THEN our code begins to run and that tiny little gap between x-plane's code and ours running causes some seconds of hiccups. It's like if someone were to push you over, you'd take a second to recover and stabilize. Regarding full start ups...we do not really do that a lot at this stage, we have a mode where we start with everything ready to go. For a lot of systems stuff, we don't need to be in the air so all the testing is done on the ground. For flight testing though, it depends on what we're testing as to how far we'll go. For myself, testing some type of landing scenario...like auto-spoilers or such, yea, we just set x-plane to 3 miles out repeatedly....and get the airplane enough under control after loading the scenario to make the landing and test the systems.

The issue with the fuel tank selector is solved. Next!

Great shots! Where did you find that beautiful grass?
