I know this is an old post started more than 2 years ago. I recently revisited this scenery to check the status and evaluate weather to continue with the project or not, and I was happily surprised of the state in which it was left off. Looking at it with fresh eyes, after close to a year without opening the files, and an intense year of skills refinement, I decided to reboot the project and push it it all the way to release. There is still a lot to do starting with a custom mesh to add underpasses and adapt the terrain for all objects to look right, leaving the slopes on the runways, plus all the city (autogen and custom). Once XP11 and the documentation for the new scenery system is out , most likely a new UV mapping and retexture will be necessary. This will certainly not happen this year, but 2017 will be the year for this and other mexican sceneries I have in the works. Here is just an overview of the whole airport scenery at the current status.

No.

Sorry for the delayed answer. The project is definitely not dead it's just progressing at a slower pace at the moment. The reason for that is my newly born daughter who takes up nearly all of my and my wife's time. For those of you still interested in the project I attached a picture showing the current status of the overhead panel. Please feel free to leave a comment if you like. Take care Martin

Sounds wise. I also thought about that, I'll try that. Have a good weekend! /Johan

Based on what I see and not being able to look at the log files right now (on mobile), it may be an installation error. Try maybe reinstalling the plane. Also make sure you follow the instructions carefully when using the beta Gizmo.

OK, all good now. It was the plugin. Downloaded and re-installed. AIRAC cycle 1612 did not change things, so I started again with installations. First the app, nothing changed, then the plugin, FIXED!!

You're welcome. Of course, we will continue to keep our current and future customers in the loop when our decisions become final on any particular topic.

just cannot get enough of this bobby :-)

Hi everyone, I would like to share my (somewhat emotional) own personal farewell to the 737 I flew for 10 years here at Lufthansa. I started out as a First Officer in 1996, flying -300, - 400 and -500 variants. Later the -400s where phased out. In 2002 I transferred to the 747-400, and in 2008 I came back as a Captain to my beloved 737. I got to fly it until 2012, when, with the reduction in numbers, I was transferred to the A320 family. Last Saturday saw the last commercial flight of a 737 in Lufthansa service, but the plane has a huge following among "Lufhanseats", and we were not willing to just let it go like that. So together with the 737-fleet administration a plan was made to bid farewell to the 737 in style. Two 737-300´s were scheduled to fly to Heviz, Hungary (the "FlyBalaton" airport) on November, 1st - spend the night there and then fly back to Frankfurt on the 2nd. After that there was a farewell event in one of the huge maintenance hangars on the airport. Here are some pics: Checking in at the airport: A booklet we got and my ticket: Arriving at the D-ABEC "Karlsruhe": Landing/turnoff light assembly: Our head of fleet, who flew us to Heviz: Me getting on board (I hate sitting in the back!): Taxiing out, we saw the second aircraft to follow us an hour later, D-ABEK: Arriving in Heviz, after backtracking we were greated by "water fountains" from the fire-trucks! The Heviz airport: Some detail shots in the afternoon sun: Even the mayor of Heviz came out to greet us (and he brought some local liqueur!) Malev flies 737s (or used to?): After a nice celebration dinner in a downtown hotel, meeting with many colleagues and friends and a whole evening of "talking 737" we headed back out to the airport the next morning. Our two fine "Bobbies" waiting for us on the apron: "Fanhansa" D-ABEK: My old office Departure over Lake Balaton, so lifevest mandatory! And getting off the 737 for the last time :-(((( After we arrived, there was the farewell celebration in the hangar: They REALLY polished good old "Neubrandenburg" D-ABEN: And our CEO and my former flight-school classmate Carsten Spohr had some nice things to say about the 737 (even though he only flew 320s): Finally they pulled the plane out of the hangar in a symbolic "roll-out". The aircraft will be flown to the U.S. over the next few weeks, some of them will continue to fly there. So if you see any of them, give them my best... https://youtu.be/18qiHDDA-DU Good-Bye, Bobby!
