Aw come on, how great is X-Plane?

I know the plane itself is controversial but I wanted to share this pic: BONUS--------Shameless Plug:

I like the way nearly everything is 3D in XPX, as opposed to my ageing FSX

Red Dawn

Work continues.... Today, I took a break from the tedious texturing of the main terminal to do a fun little building on the the northern end of the airport. Officially know as the Rhode Island State Airport Terminal building, it was built in 1932 as part of the initial airport construction. It served as the main terminal building and ATCT until 1961. It's a lovely little art deco gem, that is still in use today as an office of the US weather service: Its interesting that taxiway A on the north ramp actually jogs to miss the building: I've also been toiling away at the main parking area and interlink connection to the train station about a mile away. The main connector is built, i just need to add the station, and clean up the roads and autogen: The taxiways, markings and lighting have all been finished (for the most part): Finally, I'll leave you with a shot looking across the airport looking southeast to the Providence River and Greenwich Bay, if you look close you'll see a SW B737 lifting off from runway 5. (can you tell I like night shots ;-))

Hi Some screenshots from Geneva (XP10.25 - ZL17 - SkyMaxPro and OSM Switzerland beta4-sd from 2014.05.06) guro

Now that we have the SDK setup for more detailed clouds I am working on texturing.......This isn't as simple as pasting high resolution cloud images, and I am finally starting to get the desired effect..... OK here are a couple of comparisons so you can see the differences in V1 and V2... And some shots around town I would like to share....

Just a shot of the Lima holding bay at YVR that I'm working on. All default assets with minimal file size, just a filler file for an incredibly important airport that hasn't been updated in any package in about five years.

Hey heads up I am also working on adding a bunch of new sky colors to SkyMAXX V2 this one I call "Red Dawn" Each set with have a High/Medium/& Low variant.........So for every sky color set you get three options.......

Wow , I do take some low level fast flights from CYVR using the Sbach 300 , this should be great.

To be honest we are working with a limited set of textures and you may see an image repeat from time to time, but it is hardly noticable. We did include enough variety and it works well.....see above^^

And will be even more problematic if one uses long range visibility in the upcoming X-Plane 10.30 .... where it will load 12 instead of 6 scenery tiles. It will also eat your RAM for lunch ... (with HD Mesh Scenery v2 and world2xplane scenery you will be safe with 32 GB RAM ... or 16 GB will still work so-so if you have some fast swap space on a good SSD). On the positive side, 10.30 will allow you to switch long range visibility on or off (from rendering settings), and it also has an improved loading mechanism (more parallelized) which speeds up things a bit.

Super shots Guro, thanks for sharing :-). This reminds me of the time I went to Geneva in real life and the fountain was switched off the entire time. Upon departing, it was switched on, and everyone could see in from the plane, lots of swearing and sighing from the passengers . Yes I can confirm, it takes me about 15 minutes to load Germany (with any version). It's simply huge, this is the reason, especially if you are using it with HD Mesh and photoscenery also. This is one of the reasons I've started to downgrade to ZL16 photoscenery, because the loading times for any country are insane.

Do you know my project "HD Mesh Scenery v2"? Did you try that, to see if it gets a little bit less "flat" (but really, when I compare it for example with the Alps ... then Denmark is ... well ... relatively flat )? http://www.alpilotx.net/downloads/x-plane-10-hd-scenery-mesh-v2/What exactly would you expect to improve with the download.kortforsyningen.dk data (because not everything makes sense or works the way one might expect in X-Plane .... )?

quite frankly who would buy romans 773 (which would be illegal) if theres the better vmax one xD

Hi, guys! I'm not 100% sure, how did the pilots program the FMC so they can fly VHHH-EGLL the long way which is about 11,300 miles or about 22 hours? I think the FMC programs the shortest route like VHHH-EGLL westward which is about 12 hours. Thanks! Cheers, Vincent
