Just a shot from todays flight. Descending on the STAR for ILS 35 at ENBR. Everything went as planned, no bugs reported.

Are you 5 years old? Obviously IXEG are out to set a new standard. I would rather a product that works great then one full of bugs just so I can have it today. So many X-Plane aircraft out there like that already!

Heads up, As you have noticed we are a bit on overtime from our last estimates. Main reason was we had to port our code to the latest Gizmo version and finish the FMC. Thanks to great help from Ben R the switch went fast and was successful. The FMC is looking good now, everyone on the team are testflying it chasing bugs and Tom is working hard on finishing the final bits and pieces, increasing stability and functionality every day. We have set a target internal release date not too far ahead which we hope will materialize this time

It's because the thrust levers are in idle and gear is not down and locked.

We're carefully splitting our time between a few different areas. Saab update, Citation work and the Sundowner upgrade. I've been trying to keep things organized, which is why we've been quiet. Thought I would post a couple of screenshots of the Sundowner progress. Definitely getting there slowly. Still going to dirty up the radios a bit.

What airport is this?

It's official - I am capable of meshing around. Here is Kalaupapa Airport, perfectly flat - without needing the "runways follow terrain contours" disabled. I am sick of looking at GIS programs and command lines. I am giving myself a minimum 24 hour break from this. Going to go fix my bike now and enjoy sun. Two days in front of a computer screen is too many days.

Hi Jim That's it! Many, many thanks for your help and patience! Best regards SHJ

Ahhh... so that clears things up a bit. (ILS is not omnidirectional). Try using this.... sim/cockpit2/radios/indicators/nav1_relative_heading_AHARS_deg_pilot

I think that's normal. Look at this video and go to about 0:21, you'll see the landing lights are red as well.

So beautiful! I can barely wait

No one promised you anything. If anyone got promises it was the significant others to individuals on the team and their families for taking time away over five years to dedicate to this project. The developers are in debt for this project. No one else!

I'm using Win10 since a few month now without any issues....

Got winter pack working for me

Hi, all, As we near closer to the release of our first RealScenery Enhanced product, it's time give some information as to what you can expect and get ready for with the release and how we intend to distribute this spectacular scenery product! First off, we can't tell you just how excited we really are to bring this product to fruition. It has been a very long, painstaking process, as we have built new proprietary software in a few areas to make this product possible. In fact, we originally finished NORCAL nearly a year ago and decided to completely trash it and start over again (Many of the early posts for NORCAL in this forum were the old, trashed version). We felt that NORCAL will be very important to many, and we wanted to do it right! To say the least, seeing true-to-life imagery in beautiful contrast and cars following the roads, as well as the amazing night lighting in sim is definitely something to behold. The screenshots are nice, but flying it in sim will give you a whole other feel and appreciation for the Enhanced line of products to come! So, let's recap on a few things here for those that are relatively new as to what NORCAL and Enhanced sceneries will offer: Cars following all roads in the imagery. This is NOT the roads you're used to in X-Plane, and it has almost NO impact on FPS Night lighting that detects urban vs rural areas, as well as parks, stadiums, parking lots, etc. It's fantastic! Every single airport is aligned with the imagery. This includes runways, taxiways, aprons, etc. Clear of any artifacts in the imagery. You will not find any clouds throughout your flights Enhanced packages will average 1.8 meters per pixel or better vs. previous scenery packs of 5 meters per pixel resolution Smooth color transitions between resolutions and default scenery. As you can see, this package truly stands out compared to anything else we've ever released in the scenery department, and we plan to continue this trend! I don't think any of us can really stress enough how awesome this scenery really is to fly around! Since we have the feature list out of the way, I'd like to announce our new distribution plans for this product. We have received countless e-mails in excitement for the release of this product, so I feel it's very important to give some specifics on size and how we plan to ship... First off, NORCAL comes in at just under 93.4GB installed. Please keep this in mind when you purchase! You will be able to install specific sections rather than the entire product at once to save disk space if you like, but I feel it prudent to let everyone know the size of this package. The download size of this package will come in at just under 40GB. This means the compressed form of the scenery is about half of the fully installed size. In addition to what is said above, we will be introducing a new way to purchase NORCAL. We realize that California is very large, and that some people are not interested in purchasing the entire scenery package just to fly around a small area they may like. As such, we will be starting single DSF tile downloads as an option! Not only is this ultimately cheaper for you if you don't want the entire package, it also saves on download time and bandwidth for you as a customer. It's fair to say that most tiles installed will weigh in at just a little over 3GB per tile. The following image is a map of single tiled areas you will be able to purchase if you choose not to get the entire NORCAL package: To help you better choose specific areas, we'll be giving details on each tile as to what type of flying they offer, as well as screenshot galleries for each tile offered. So, with that said, a re-cap on how you can purchase/obtain the scenery: By purchasing the entire package and downloading your purchase with the http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php?topic=914.0'>RealScenery Downloader (Click Here) By purchasing a DVD of the entire package and having it shipped to you. You can also purchase DVDs for a small fee extra with downloads. Great for backup! This product will ship as 10 DVDs By purchasing a single tile from a map similar to that above and downloading your purchase with the http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php?topic=914.0'>RealScenery Downloader (Click Here) With the introduction of Enhanced packages we'll also be introducing installers for the scenery. Our goal is to make the download and install process as simple as possible! We have servers in Europe and the US for RealScenery download products, and Asia is in consideration. This offers high speeds around the globe for those of you that choose the download option. Compatibility: RealScenery NORCAL will work with Mac, Windows, and Linux. It is important to note, however, the download option will not be available to Linux users. You'll need to order a DVD and have it shipped to you. The scenery requires version 9.2 of X-Plane, but we HIGHLY recommend version 9.5 for initial load reasons. One of the more common questions we are asked about is the FPS impact of scenery packages like NORCAL. Because of the method we use to compile these products, your FPS impact is going to be little to none. This is also due in part with the fact we have worked to minimize issues with Laminar, and worked on better texture paging methods specifically for this product. Thanks to everyone for your continued supporting of our products, as well as the amazing response we receive in e-mails day in and day out in anticipation of this product. It's definitely going to be a great time sharing this with you all! Cheers, and Blue Skies! Cameron

I get your frustration Cameron. I know you guys are working very hard on making an awesome product, and I'll be excited when it is ready. The crucial point being missed however, is that it is customer loyality that is being invested on our part. Many of us have been actively cheering you on and supporting your efforts for at least a year. If you have a favorite football team, you'll understand. We want you guys to win! Therefore, when you tell us things like... keep your eyes peeled for X, or in the next few days we'll reveal Y... or some big big news is just around the corner... etc. We invest our time, interest, enthuaism, and genuine hope in the expectation that you are going to reveal what it is that you said you would reveal. We all want you to succeed, and we appreciate all of the enormous work you and your team has put into this. We just don't to feel like our loyalty is taken for granted. That said, thank you for sticking with this project, and with us. I know you guys will get there! Merry Christmas to all, and best wishes in the new year!

simple release the plane and get out off debt!
