I was in need of an Atlas Air livery for my afternoon flight from Bangkok to Shanghai. There weren't any available so I made one myself! It needs work but I am very happy with the result

77W Looks good in Lufthansa colors. (JFK-FRA)

Look at these screenshots, and "guess" where these were taken You can see a lot more screenshots here (the regions name is in the link): https://picasaweb.google.com/101666907909842492197/PREVIEWAustraliaHDMeshSceneryV3?authuser=0&feat=directlinkAnd yes, I know, that I have told for a long time, that I will not do this region because of the lack of good landclass data. But here I prove, that I never stop researching and experimenting. This time it is not based on one dataset but is a mixture of 3 (and a tiny bit of a fourth) major datasets where non of them would have worked on its own ... but when mixed in the right way (its the "special soup") then it can work quite well. By the way: as I already announced in the Canada preview video post, I will now soon - really soon (in a few days) - start with the final data compilation for HD Mesh Scenery v3. This means especially, that the next OSM data pull is imminent ... The same is true for the airport data which will be used in the scenery generation (it has either already be pulled or will happen in the next days too). From then on, it will take approximately 6-8 weeks to complete the HD Mesh Scenery v3 creation, preparation, testing, packaging etc. (of course, only if nothing bad happens!).

It is? No one told me. On a more serious note...I would really appreciate it if people wouldn't speculate on the progress of our add ons. The Saab was considered vaporware by many people and we shut them up when it was released. Something as complex as the 747-200 isn't something we can whip up in 6-12 months. Complex airliners take several years to get right. Unfortunately, we cannot dedicate all our time to this project because we need some income coming in, which is why we're doing these smaller aircraft (Citation, Saab, etc...) and the 747 is being worked on occasionally on the side. This WAS going to be a LITE add on, but that's not the road LES is taking any longer. We're committed to creating procedure level add ons that are AS complex as the real aircraft (or VERY close to it). If there is any news to share about this aircraft's future, including it's status as vaporware, it will be done by either myself, Jim, Theo or Cameron. Until then, this project is still on the table and is still planned for release some time in the future.

Yep ... Australia it is indeed ....

A320neo EBBR to LOWL

In the movie "Flight" with Denzel Washington, the captain arrives at the same time as the passengers are boarding. He then sits down in cockpit and asks his co-pilot if he have done the preflight procedures. Then the push back starts. Is this correct? Does this ever happens in the real world?

I would love to see some more screen shots !
