Testing out cloud shadows over Aspen, CO:

I made a quick 'n dirty SR22 with some pretty questionable blueprints. I think it came out alright, but it's missing a lot.

This thread has gone sideways in a rather glorious manner.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirthOf sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred thingsYou have not dreamed of --Wheeled and soared and swungHigh in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring thereI've chased the shouting wind along, and flungMy eager craft through footless halls of air...Up, up the long, delirious, burning blueI've topped the wind-swept heights with easy graceWhere never lark or even eagle flew --And, while with silent lifting mind I've trodThe high untrespassed sanctity of space,Put out my hand, and touched the face of God. … John Gillespie Magee, Jr

Only 'cause I spent years laying the foundations and building bridges so that others may pass..

We are announcing today that our team is developing Manchester Airport (EGCC) in collaboration with Aerosoft. Here are the first renders. Enjoy!

thanks ... I hope for the holidays in mid-August ....

Wonderful news! Good luck with your project. I fly with a UK based VA, so this will be a definite buy.

Here I sit broken hearted...... Tried to poop and only farted......... Ok Ill leave this thread with that bit of freshman humor.......

One of our testers was good enough to snap a couple of shots for you:

I'm happy to announce that we are working on an update for our Mykonos Airport. This update is mainly focused on: - Adding more buildings, specially at rwy 16 final. - Optimized textures for better frame rates. - 3D grass (local varieties). - New ultra high definition, tarmac/asphalt textures. Here is a smaple:

Can you spot anything peculiar on this shot?

Inspired by niebeiski's screenshot story, a short one of my own. Air France 8: Paris Charles De Gaulle (CDG) - New York (JFK) For this flight, I connected to x-ivap and actually synchronized my flight with the real world Air France Flight 8, so X-Plane and real life AFR 8 were flying simultaneously in the same aircraft and on the same route. I might have been one or two minutes off but it felt pretty cool. No screenshots of departure or takeoff sorry, time goes by and concentration. However, this is shortly over 2,500 feet, 1 minute after takeoff. Breaking through cumulous clouds from 5,000 to 8,000 feet. One of the best things in X-Plane is how beautiful simulated everything is, to the point where you (almost) get the same feeling as if you were flying in real life. Making a turn over our first leg of the journey VOR PG26, and climbing over 10,000 Feet. At this point VNAV has been turned on and its all smooth sailing from here. Passenger view and some beautiful scenery as the aircraft climbs out of France. Cruising at FL360 and Mach .86 After 5 and a half hours of flight, we make landfall over Nova Scotia, the time now is past 8 PM EST and the sun has set. Very dark but partly visible descent. New York is just under those clouds. Instruments showing Final Approach path toward runway 04R Time moves so fast during landing that I had to stay inside the cockpit and focus. The landing was smooth, the back gears kissed the tarmac and the nose gear gently descended onto the runway following a trail of tire smoke. The reverse thrust engaged and the aircraft slowed down and then taxied of the tarmac. Lights up and welcome to New York! Time to disembark. The Real Life AFR8 Landed at 9:24 PM EST, I landed at 9:29 EST. I was just 5 minutes behind, probably because of a slower approach speed, but It felt like I was flying the real thing, and the Flight Factor 777-200 made it seem that way, along with Sky Maxx Pro and Flywithlua + Tweaks. The flight time was 7 Hours and 32 minutes. The End
