as you know, we don't give out release dates. It would be a real bummer to give a release date and find a major bug the day before. I would like to believe we are within 4-5 weeks as of today though. All we can do is keep moving quickly..and that I can assure you we are. It certainly gets closer every day though, that I can say. -tkyler

You mean something like this? Enjoy!

This is exactly right.

This is correct as far as the screens go - I think that the sound of the breakers working is pretty much "instantaneous" as soon as the switch reaches the "end" position (they are toggle switches). Our level-D simulators have this wrong. There is a slight delay for the activation of the breakers, and it always threw me off when using the switches. For a second you go "oh, something is not working"... We haven´t modeled the screen blanking so far, but we might do so for release, if not then will do it later. I think it is a neat effect that shows the significance of transferring the powersource... Jan

Lower right hand corner is a dropdown for various altitudes. Clicking on the various selections above that gives you different views, like pressure, clouds, snow..... etc. if you click on a particular location.... like a storm, for instance, you will get a pop up offering you detailed information for that location. Drilling down even further (scroll with mouse and mouse wheel) you will see individual airports and can get even more information. (Or even easier, just type an airport ICAO under search) Have fun! https://www.windyty.com/?29.306,130.957,3

New iMac testing...

Norway Pro scenery has been released recently (freeware, go grab it!) and so i thought it'll be good opportunity to dust off the excellent Reality Enhancement Pack for C210 Centurion while exploring. Started off at Skagen [ENSK] and did a short hop to Narvik [ENNK] just to get a glimpse of the scenery and refresh my skills flying REP Cessna (with manual at hand). Haven't seen much of the Norway Pro scenery on this route i decided to make 180 on the runway and head for Bodø [ENBO]. Casual VFR at 5500 feet using Google Maps + AIP Norway (i rarely do VFR in the sim) Unbelievable how easy this REP/Carenado masterpiece trims out. I did not touch the autopilot once during 2hr+ flight. Once i got to Bodø i realized landing this thing on a 2800m long runway is not best of what Norway has to offer. Why not head further south to a mysteriously named airport of Mo i Rana [ENRA] ? After having a quick look at Mo i Rana charts i started tracking inbound Strømmen [sTM, 345 kHz] NDB. Surprisingly i did not kill the engine yet. Nor did i destroy flaps, gear or anything else. The LOC-B approach looks very tempting. Why not switch IFR and see if i can handfly non-RNAV approach today? Soon enough i was climbing to Minimum Sector Altitude (6300 feet - when arriving from the north sector). Still tracking Strømmen NDB as it is our Initial Approach Fix (IAF). The closer i got to Strømmen, the more turbulent air i had to fight. Focused entirely on the instruments i was able to maintain 6300 feet +/- 50 feet all the time, but i was out of time to do a full approach briefing. Turning right on outbound leg after passing Strømmen. Descending 5000 feet according to procedure. Established on the localizer inbound. Strømmen NDB is being used once again, this time as Intermediate Fix (IF). Next, Final Approach Fix (FAF) is 6.6 nm DME RA at 3000 feet. Reaching Minimum Descend Altitude of 1310 feet. The funny thing is you won't be able to see the airport until reaching Missed Approach Point (MAPt) - the DME station itself. Then the airport becomes barely visible on your 9 o'clock (!!!). If you wonder why i didn't take any shots on short final, grab Norway Pro + UHD Mesh Scandinavia and try shooting approach into Mo i Rana yourself

I think Rydent1 meant before Christmas 2016...
