Today's flight consisted of a 12.5 hour long flight from KSFO-RCTP (San Francisco-Taipei) in a United 777-222ER! Takeoff from Sanfran with some extremely pretty early morning sunrise views! Flying at 41,000 feet over the North pacific Short finals for Taipei! This shot is one of my favorite shots that I have ever taken! Taxiing towards the gate Being serviced at the gate. It was a great flight!

Not a big fan of the A332, but I LOVE those RR Trents. Beautiful engines! Had a bit of an emergency yesterday - gear didn't go down properly:

ADMIN NOTE: This topic has been split from the Real Weather Connector thread. Let me begin by saying that I am a fan of skymaxx v3 and will buy the weather connector when it comes out too. My question is in reference to skymaxx v3 textures/renderings. With xplane clouds or even hd clouds v2 the clouds, you get the feeling of how fast you are going. Don't know if they change the movements of the cloud as you get closer. The clouds in skymaxx don't give me that same effect even though they look great. Not sure if I explained myself properly but is anything changing in v3.1 that would change this? Can anything be done in the settings?

Frank took the following pictures to show off Real Weather Connector with version 3.1 of SkyMaxx Pro. We're really excited to get this out to you guys! Enjoy!

Dear friends, We like to show you the first preview of O'Hare Hilton! Hope you like it and... enjoy!

Flew Pedro's awesome Twin out of Molokai on a short hop to Lanai. Not too short when you're on such a slow plane in bumpy weather.

Did you mean to title this Pilot Exam instead of Plot Exam?

But read other threads, we are quite in the loop. We know that they are working hard on VNAV. Let them sort the basics out, this addon is gonna serve us for years to come!

You should talk with Ben Weston, from Airline2sim.com, they have 2 series of training videos, based on the Majestic Dash Q400 (FSX...). They are just superb!!!! Very good quality in all aspects, video, contents, design, all of them recorded with a real Q400 pilot in the cockpit. Enviado desde mi iPhone utilizando mis deditos

It's really gonna be nice to work with a FMC that works like the real thing. (not that I know what that's like) But I know it can't be as aggravating as the one's that others have modeled. I wish the companies that make the real ones would license the actual code to sim developers. Just thinking out loud. By the way keep up the good work IXEG team......waiting patiently!!!!! Kevin

Not initially - one tutorial is finished with a visual approach, though. This is something beyond the realm of the "basic training" we try to accomplish with our tutorials - just to get everyone up and flying while using the basic features of this aircraft. I am pondering a series of more advanced training videos in the future. In the meantime we have description of how to fly a non-precision approach in the written documentation. Jan

Yeah it's not perfect but it gives a better feeling than SMP , this is actually one of the things I like about default clouds. The other 2 things I like about them: - How smooth the light on them changes in day time , I wish SMP lighning will change as smooth as the default clouds , anything about that for 3.1 ? - The formations they create , well that what's real weather connector is about LOL And maybe another little feature if I may request , default clouds doesn't have this but a weather plugin called XEnviro does ; Clouds bases above cities has an orange'ish color. Anyway , keep the good work guys!

Can we get a non techical progress update , some extetior or cabin visuals please.

X-Plane take more advantage from a CPU with a higher frequency for single core than a CPU with an higher number of cores, and HT is not the best option because it could reduce the processing power of the core that is used to run X-Plane main task, so an i5 with an higher frequency should be better than an i7 with a lower frequency (sorry but English is not my native language, I hope I explained that well enough).

Along the lines of these sorts of cosmetic features, are there any plans to add engine condensation (you can see it on humid days, usually early in the morning and usually when the engines are throttled up to takeoff power), either before or after v1?

Hey I know you get asked this all the time. But we are the customers lol. When do you think you will be releasing this? im not trying to be rude by asking. I just find it weird to declare a close to release announcement when that was almost two months ago. I get it I really do. I have been a contracting software engineer for about 15 years and I know deadlines are fluid I get that in fact I would be your number one defender about "things cropping up" I have literally stopped using X-plane since the release is getting close announcement I am on eager tenterhooks

It'll be released when it's ready. We won't be giving further release info for the time being. Considering this project is 5+ years, even 5 months is close when you take it into context.

Well said Cameron. Release it when it's ready. We can wait. Absence makes the heart grow fonder!
