Taken from my recent XPX livestream at twitch.tv I hope you like it: OSM Europe + autogen, HD mesh V2, treelines and farms V2, UrbanMAXX, MaxxFX and tweaked art controls look just beautiful...

I think we should open a "What fighter did you fly today" topic

Changelog: Extended Pack only: -added 777-200ER variant with Pratt&Whitney PW4090 engine option. This variant comes as a different aircraft with lots of new liveries. The new aircraft variant has distinct characteristics of: --wing without the raked wingtips --performance and fuel consumption --sound set --EEC with EPR as primary control parameter --EICAS differences for EPR-controlled engines --FMC performance parameters -fixed tutorial quick zoom functions for the 300ER model -new standby instruments: the -200LR, -LRF and -300ER now have an ISFD as standby instrument, the -200ER has three classic standby instruments -corrected reflection and windows on the -300ER model All models (on X-Plane 10 64bit): -new SASL version to fix several crash and DRM problems -fixed right engine anti-ice -brought back the flap speed placard -corrected pushback truck logic -corrected the compact fuel indicator and its display logic -fixed fuel jettison logic -several fixes for the flightcontrol page of the EICAS -improved autobrake behavior -added autobrake disarm on speedbrake retraction -added pdf 2 png HD application, for those who have memory and want more resolution for the maps on the EFB -fixed a possible crash in the pax/cargo loading menu -fixed a bug where an invisible "blue freeze" screen could cause the mouse pointer to no work anymore -fixed the plane refueling itself after reposition through the XP map view -implemented fuel temperature indication -fixed a bug in direct-to logic where two subsequent directs would delete a wrong waypoint -fixed reading Fix-to-DME-distance legs from Navigraph navdata (again!) -fixed enumeration of SID transitions, now all available transitions are selectable -reworked autoflight behavior with direct-intercept function. Now the autopilot will revert to LNAV arm when the plane is laterally off a manually selected intercept by more than 2.5nm. Intercepting a manually selected course must now be flown in HDG mode until LNAV engages. This is exactly how the real plane works. -improved depiction of manual intercept courses on the temporary flightplan -added intercept-from functionality to the FMS. Now you can create intercepts into radials going from arbitrary waypoints. -fixed a bug where several waypoint combinations in transitions would collapse into one waypoint -fixed a bug that could cause the plane fly parallel to the route after an intercept -added DEL key assignment for CDU popup -changed auto-thrust vs thrust-limit logic. It is now possible to manually increase takeoff power over the preset target when in A/T is in HOLD mode -changed EEC characteristic for N1/EPR and command arcs to work more realistically -improved interaction of A/T and EEC -improved finding of alternate airports -fixed a bug that could cause the FMC to not accept new airway entries -added the possibility to load flight plans in .flp format, which can be exported by flight planning tools like PFPX and also by online services like simbrief.com -corrected FMC and autopilot behavior in the approach phase of non-precision approaches -improved autoland capabilities. For all improvements to work, X-Plane 10.30 is required -fixed a bug that caused performance info on primary route to be deleted when secondary route was entered -fixed a bug in entering LAT/LON waypoints in full format -fixed a bug in the display of ETA on T/C and T/D pseudowaypoints -fixed a bug in VNAV where a lower speed for a speed restriction was activated too early -fixed a bug in VNAV where too high a speed was selected after a crossing restriction -improved holdings in cross wind situations -fixed several bugs related to flightplan saving and loading. Particularly, approaches with procedure turns and holdings in lieu of procedure turns will now also work when loaded from a saved flightplan -improved the calculation of turn radius in holdings. The predicted holding patterns will now match the real performance more closely -fixed a bug that could cause indefinitely small holdings to be generated -fixed LNAV ignoring the first waypoint of the flightplan if no departure runway was selected -improved generating fix-to-DME-distance legs from Aerosoft navdata -corrected autopilot bank limits in LNAV mode -improved prediction of the turn radius in LNAV mode, generating much smoother interceptions to next leg -fixed a bug in turn radius calculation that caused the aircraft to jiggle in procedure turns when flying very slow -greatly improved interception of legs at high speeds, i.e. large course changes in the cruise portion of the flightplan will be much smoother -added absolute altitude labels to TCAS display -corrected TCAS symbol colors and shapes as per TCAS 7.1 specification -added DMOD and ZTHR logic to displayed TCAS threats -changed TCAS implementation to work on different datarefs for online traffic from xsquawkbox and X-IVAP -improved FMC climb predictions especially for long climbs -fixed a bug in the autopilot that could cause it to stay in LNAV arm but never engage it even close to the calculated route -fixed a bug in the descend speed logic that would override descend speed transitions with higher restriction speeds from previous waypoints -working EXEC light on the remote CDU

Hi guys, Without a bit of gloss and normals................that history now. Painting up the bird now. Cheers Leen de Jager

Realized the bridge was going to be too hard for many people to deploy. Am pulling the trigger with the voice server upgrade (resulting in a mandatory upgrade for all pilot clients and anything else that connects to the voice server, such as our standalone Receiver application) and will be releasing the full 64-bit Mac plugin. The release date is set for June 10. Edit: jun 17

Damn I just cannot sleep , the night / dawn / dusk is just brilliant.

buy the LES SAAB 340 instead of the 757

Boeing 757 without any doubt

Sunday Beaver Update 19 Hey all, Time for another update. This week I completely re-worked the oil pressure, oil temperature and CHT simulation. I had a model in place last week, but when I started working on the CHT model, I discovered a few flaws with the old one, which made it hard to tune and enhance. Therefore, I needed to start from scratch, but I am very happy now. The 3 models behave exactly like I want them to behave and they are of course dependent on each other. The CHT will have an impact on the oil temperature and the oil temperate effects oil pressure. Density, outside air temperature, airspeed, climb angle, etc.,all these things have an impact. I also continued with my approach to have a realistic behaviour of temperatures. So to warm up the oil on a cold day really takes some time. The coding of these models was one thing, but the tuning really took time. There a so many constants and factors to play with and to tune them in a way that all three model give reasonable and realistic numbers in any condition was not easy, but finally achieved the results I wanted and I am happy. Maybe a little bit more tuning might be required in the beta phase, based on the input from the team, but I am confident that it won't be a lot. So next is the Fuel System You all have a great Sunday!

I see little to no evidence supporting your statement. Judging by your last few posts, you were probably banned for a good reason.

The IAE V2500 is a very smart looking engine. And an great sounding one too Shame about X-Planes phobia of decent engine sounds :/
