EF2000 at RAF Coningsby.

v0.5.0 Update It's been a slow month, but work continues slowly on v0.5.0. Unfortunately, I've been quite busy with real-life work, but making slow but steady progress: 1) New farm buildings, as shown below. Both myself and Blacky have added some farm buildings, so rural areas look "more rural". I've also tweaked a few things, so that, for example, a tractor is placed in parking areas on farmyards to add a bit of life to the scenery. 2) I've created some more regional artwork for the UK, so less red-roofed Eastern European buildings, and more darker-roofed UK styled buildings. 3) Blacky has created a new facade set shown below for industrial areas. These looks more industrial than the bright blue buildings from the OSM2XP set, and also have nicer looking roofs. A German user Tom has also submitted some great and efficient models for industrial tanks and water towers plotted around the scenery 4) I've done some working on the code used to generate hedgerows around fields. I'm working on giving it more variety and a more natural/random look. There is still some work to do here, but scenery looks better now and performs a little better to.

X-Plane has some breathtaking views.

Tony and Blacky you rock!!!! Thanks!!!

Have you tried contacting Peter Hager about it first? I have found he responds quickly, particularly on Skype.

727 over Price Rupert...

Picked up the FJS 727 over the weekend. Amazing plane, I love it. En-route over the Altantic KPHL-KPVD. Was going fine until i lost engines 2 and 3 10.25, SMP, FJS721

In the spirit of waiting.

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.
