RealScenery Arizona and Phoenix is really nice... Unfortunately I have to leave it behind as we are heading for Antarctica... BeachAV8R

Quick question: Any experiences yet with SoundMaxx in XP11? Working, good, bad, anything?

Some say it looks better with HDR off, but SMP 3 is not compatible with XP11 for this reason - the lighting and blending of the clouds do not work properly with it. Skymaxx Pro 4 will be tuned to work with either XP10 or XP11.

Ok, good to know. Maybe slightly louder in the right would be enough. I have my volume loud (IGEX sounds are awesome) so any single channel sound makes you jump out your seat a bit If my wish is in the minority, it's fine to leave as is.

Hey guys just a very quick and dirty vid I though looked cool....... Our 3D precipitation in action....

3d awesome

Many thanks. The pitch control regulator needs some fine tuning when tracking Mach number. Some pitch up is to be expected when making the cut over from IAS to Mach since you are effectively starting to climb at lower airspeed, but the regulator was overshooting, particularly in gusty conditions. Will tune and include in future update. @daemotron

No accurate estimates on when it will be done. We have to get our previous aircraft working in XP11, first. (A few things have changed regarding plug ins). For the Citation, if all goes well, we're looking at next year, hopefully, the first half.

First i read this Then i read this At this point in my mind cameron was leaking a release date (obviously i was kind happy), but then.... ...nooooo!

Goran hi let me introduce myself as I have some History with me } Firstly I am a real world Citation 550 Captain having flown the 500 550 560 and am currently rated and flying on a very nice 1992 550. I have been flying the Citation 500 series since 1998 Back then I was heavily involved in the famous Seneca five released for FS and then with Rob Young in Real Air Simulations flying the real Marchetti and working with Rob on the flight dynamics trying to get the aircraft to spin in FS I have been out of flight simulations for some time but has just added X-PLANE 11 beta on my MAC I was looking for a good flight model Citation 2 as thats what I fly real world When will yours be ready ?

AoA_22 But what if that Ford is getting 35mpg now? That's what we are looking at, no excuses being implemented by any of us. His request for a medium to long distance flight has popped up on a couple posts now. It isn't going to happen, plain and simple, we are going to allow the community with V4 as with previous versions show this. Streams using V3 are all over the web and available to anyone with an internet connection. Im positive V4 streams will populate the web very quickly......Apparently any claims we put forward are going to scrutinized by the community anyway so let people who aren't associated with development share their feelings, fair enough right?........ This is all funny, because I asked Jason to post some high altitude shots since I seen some community members asking for them, that's all this post is, now this thread has spiraled into what Ill call a HOT MESS...... Cameron's point is we are focused on development right now and want to ensure we put as much refinement into V4 prior to a release. Ill have the AI fly a heavy on one system while I develop and I'm keeping an eye on some of these issues that pop up, Ill post small snippets from time to time but I don't have the time to put together a long haul......The best you'll get out of us right now is we are happy with where the BETA is going.......Is that fair? Or should we waste more time making videos before the product is 100% ready? This could potentially lead to misconceptions as to what SMP offers, right? Im really puzzled by this continued dialog which has undertones of distrust, frankly I am getting sick of it since it isn't what we are about. None of us are getting rich off of this and speaking for myself SMP came about because I am an enthusiast and want a better overall experience for the XP community......

Cameron, I'm just going to be blunt. The way you respond to your customer base is pathetic. You get a polite comment/question/critique and you for some reason take it personally and get super defensive about it. You're the face of the company, so you really should at least be as respectful if not more respectful in your responses than the person you're responding to. That is, if you care about you or your company's reputation. BaBene is absolutely right: Quote I am totally relaxed and don't really understand your reaction to my comment, as I tried to be polite and calm. Of course I am focused on the visuals. I am not involved in the development of the product so why should I care much about the technical aspects? After all the outcome of your efforts will be a visual representation of the weather. This will solely be judged by it's visuals and performance, and not by the algorithms used. Let's say Ford made a family sedan last year that yields 15 mpg. Their potential customers say big improvements are needed, and Ford improves that car the next year to get 18 mpg. Then the customers say it's better but still has a long way to go. How pathetic would it be for Ford to start throwing out excuses and saying the customer must not care about technical aspects of the process. What matter are results. Not excuses. All I'm saying is you need to chill out and quit telling other people to chill out. You have to be able to deal with polite discourse in the community if you're the face of the company.

I suggest setting the weights in pounds, as that's what SimBrief uses internally for storage. When you use KGs, every time you make a change to the airframe and save, the weight shifts by one KG or so (compounding rounding errors). I use the following: IIRC, OEW, MTOW and FUEL are taken directly from the X-Plane weight & balance dialog (empty, max allowable and total fuel weights, respectively), MZFW and MLW are taken from a reference PDF somewhere. Also values I use are usually rounded a bit, for example I always adjust MZFW slightly so that (MZFW-OEW) gives me a nice, round number.

I can't take much more teasing One can only suffer so much ya know And i get told i've got the patience of a saint !! lol Beautiful Tony ps : I see yummy scrummy lighting off the ole gal

Here you go... just because you've asked so nicely...

Why are you telling me this? The quote you're referencing and responding to did not come from me, nor am I phased by what you're talking about. My skin is a bit thicker than that. SkyMaxx Pro has sold more units than any product in X-Plane. I'm quite sure it's well trusted, Marshall. This line is pure speculation...just because a handful of bar peanuts worth of people are complaining here means nothing. The many thousands of others are just fine, happy, and many often write in about their satisfaction all the time. Rich is subjective, and I've made no comment to allow you to interpret how much I make, but I do well enough to be quite happy and I'll leave it there. I have plenty in life to brag about, but I won't. Then perhaps don't buy it. There's no need to be witty and fill your short story posts here with a bunch of fluff like you're used to doing for the likes of Anderson Cooper and any other media in your normal day job. I'm sure our President-Elect would have some choice words in here too. Somehow he got elected...guess not everyone always agrees with the likes of you, eh Marshall? Anyways, the focus of this thread was to show some higher altitude shots. My asking to simmer down had nothing to do with saving pride...it's just not necessary for the time being. Right now we're all just wasting time. To all others: Enjoy. Until next time, thread closed.
