Hi all, I come in search of X-Plane experts! We (Just Flight) are currently in the process of modifying our existing FSX 800XP BizJet (http://www.justflight.com/product/800xp-bizjet) for use in X-Plane 10. As our main expertise lie in the area of Microsoft Flight Simulator, I am looking for some X-Plane addicts to assist us with the testing of the aircraft. As well as spotting any bugs we would be looking for general feedback on any areas that could be improved (within the limiations of X-Plane). Here are a few preview images of the aircraft in X-Plane 10: If you would be interested in helping us, please contact me - martyn[at]justflight.com Thanks Martyn

Thank you for the positive responses and offers of assistance! We intend to release the 800XP and Eurofighter for XP at first and based on the success of those aircraft we will decide what to move on to next. Thanks Martyn

I would love to see a fully functioning PC-12 NG model for X-plane 10.

So I've seen quite a few people post this question around many different forums (including ones from which I have been banned): What happened to G2XPL and where can I download it? In November, I uploaded a scenery file for KFCI on request of a friend in a Facebook group. The imagery was sourced from Google Maps and I had been too ignorant to read their Terms of Use prior to saving it. Within a day, I had received an non-capitalized grammatically incorrect message from your friend, Six7. The message went something like this: i guess google has changed their terms of use, moron. delete the file or u will be banned That wasn't very impressive. One thing I cannot stand, being an "A" English and a History student, is unprofessional presentation. If he had calmly explained it without an insult and with spell check activated, perhaps I would have returned respect. No way. I just deleted the file and sent him a message similar to the one that follows, after some inquiry as to the terms of service, of course presented in a very vulgar and rude way from Mr. Six7 (whose identity I later learned but will not disclose): I am not impressed with your lack of professional conduct. I have removed the scenery on your request, however I would like to inform you that there are other scenery files and tools utilizing Google Maps data and imagery. I also sent a message to Nicolas. Six7, one of your moderators, sent a rude and insulting message to me when I had mistakenly uploaded a file that violated legal terms. I would like you to please talk to him and request that he keep up a professional personality when he is dealing with such situations. You can only guess what happened next, I was permanently banned, IP and all. I can't even reset my router to get back on. That website has ceased to be from my point of view. Anyways, I tried to think of a far play that could get me back at them. I had already used a false identification as I had been banned before for asking about Mr. Chang and his wonderful work. I would have to be careful. They were two points ahead of me and I only had one potential point to gain. Then it dawned on me that I had downloaded a scenery tool that never worked for me because of its strange architecture but it was designed for the average X-Plane user to create his own orthoscenery: G2XPL. I proceeded to hunt down a friend of mine who was in law school and they said "just basically read the terms of use. If they are in violation of the terms of use, then they can be sued. If they are providing a tool which is in violation of the terms of use, they can be sued." Wow. It's that easy. I proceeded to create a three page document outlining the terms of use of Bing Maps, Google Maps, Yahoo Maps, even MapQuest (although I pity the fool...) and created long interpretations that could not be misinterpreted. Fortunately, of all events in this situation, I saved this email that I sent to the administrators at X-Plane.org and XPFW, as they are almost all the same people. *************** To all administrators of X-Plane.org, Forums.X-Plane.org, and related sites: This is a notification of possibly illegal software available from your site. I was recently made aware of a certain "G2XPL" addon available on the X-Plane.org forums. This file is completely illegal. If no action is taken to remove it from the website I will report it for violation of copyright and terms of use of Google, subsidiaries and many other organizations. The add-on accesses, uses, and shows Google Earth/Maps imagery without visible attribution being present at all times. http://www.google.com/permissions/geoguidelines.html The add-on accesses, uses, and shows, and under certain circumstances saves Google Earth/Maps imagery without written documentation from Google, Inc. stating that they have explicit permission for use of all imagery available through the Google servers. This is a direct violation of Google Maps Terms of Use, Section 2, Part A through Part F. http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/help/terms_maps.html All of the above statement(s) are in direct violation of Google Maps Terms of Use, Section 3, Part C, Part E (in result of all other infringements), Part I (directly quoted; "[Any party is prohibited to] use any robot, spider, site search/retrieval application, or other device to retrieve or index any portion of the Google services or Content, or collect information about users for any unauthorized purpose", as there is no legal documentation of permission having been given to the creator of Gmaps to X-Plane.Please consider this very carefully. I expect to receive documentation of permission from Google, Inc. immediately. It may be sent to this email address. Otherwise, I will attempt to contact as many of the organizations that could be at risk in this situation and raise their awareness of the illegal activity on the website. I was banned from the forums for posting of "illegal" files. Therefore, this file should be removed with the same intention and the user who created it should be banned. I am doing my duty to the law and attempting to reduce piracy and illegal action due to my realization of my ignorant activities. Yours respectfully, Colin J. S. A copy of this email has been sent to many other X-Plane related websites. *************** The G2XPL addon was immediately pulled from the website. I cannot quote from the email I received in reply as it was lost in a clearout of my inbox, however he said something along the lines of what follows: look kid, knock it off. if you dont leave us alone well take your parents to court. we have their contact information He proceeded to provide faulty information that he obviously got from a 5 minute search on 411.ca. Here ends the story of how G2XPL ceased to be. In case you thought I was just some kid who is learning how to build scenery and loves every bit of it, yep, you're right. I also professionally pissed off Mr. Taureau, and with founded causes. Hope you now understand a bit more, now I sit here waiting for hate messages to roll into my inbox...

Dude, wasn't meant to be an attack at all! I wan't "taking you down" for being a teenager. I was just like you when I was your age. Only appreciated my dad when he did or said what I wanted him to. Good luck with the cockpit. XHSI rocks. You might take a look at AirTrack, too, if you want to use iPods or iPads for your instruments. As for projectors, you can find them from around $200 up. Just remember you get what you pay for. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ns=p_PRICE_2%7c0&ci=2116&N=4294546233&srtclk=sort I recommend Epson projectors. I have one I bought 8 years ago for $2800 and have only replaced the $350 lamp once. We use it to project our images for sales. But it is high resolution and way overkill for what you want. I think the Epsons start around $399.

Please don't simulate any control lock ;-)

Hello All! ISDG present to you one of our latest projects, KSJC - San Jose Norman Y. Mineta International Airport. This freeware scenery will include what you have seen in ISDG's previous projects (YSSY, YPAD). This includes high resolution orthoimagery (0.36m/pixel), accurate building placement, and all else that you know ISDG so well for. Enjoy the screenshots!

As we all know Javier isn't as inclined to produce heavy metal birds so I would also vote for a PC-12

The city of Red Bluff, in far northern California, is a small city positioned along the Sacramento River, about 30 miles / 48 kilometers south of Redding. This flight is transitioning from south to north, flying over the Red Bluff Municipal Airport (KRBL). The Sacramento River is in the background, along with the bridges of Antelope Boulevard and Interstate-5.

Hd textures, dynamic sound, plugin driven instrumemts, full object, etc. That's what I want for a Pilatus.The STMA one isn't bad, it just isn't up to standards set by Jrollon, FlyJSim, LES, and even Carenado. If Mr. Rollon is going to use this thread to determine his next (now that the JS is out) my vote is for a Pilatus.

Try the alenia c-27j it has a range of 3,100 miles and can cruise at 325kts and has a ceiling of 30,000ft here's a picture of the cockpit http://files.air-attack.com/MIL/c27j/c27j_cockpit_20110706.jpg

I'm partial to turboprops and that's one of my favorites.

Slow progress.

Nice spot!

You might be interested that Wayne is using the cut down, low-poly, low-resolution version. I made it specially for one of the beta-testers who is using a PowerMac G5. Originally, I had no intention of releasing it, but — thanks to Wayne — I've changed my mind. It could well be useful. The Comet is a big package, so the "economy" version could benefit people running older hardware, or when flying on line with other traffic. The latest work is here (hot off the press): http://www.dh-aircraft.co.uk/news/files/96eb54e98a365457e0c1de96d570b03b-100.html

it's software whose purpose is to provide a way for stuff to talk to each other, i.e. x-plane to talk to hardware, hardware to talk to hardware, etc....networking software in essence. It is popular with cockpit builders who want to get their hardware working with x-plane or get x-plane communicating with other software.

Not quite 'Tablecloth stuff' but she settles nicely with 10 knt sidewind to starboard----

Org has the worst moderators on the internet, if i had the chance to buy the forum and site, i will totally revamp the site and install better moderators
