  1. I can check this further when I'm going home to my place around January 1st. But I'm absolutely positive I'm using Kansas, and that I've seen moving trains. Only cargo trains though. On the other hand, it might be something about world render distance or whatever that setting is called? It's in the middle of the render settings window, upper right corner.
  2. I'm using Kansas too.
  3. Yup, multiple times.
  4. Hmm if it's that simple, sure, I'll do that. Won't have the chance to test until January though. If anyone can test it and report back before that time.. Andrzej, I emailed Randy. He said they have no plans for such.
  5. And just as I thought I wouldn't spend more on flightsim for a while, I found a place that sell the Saitek yoke for far less than anywhere else. And for the heck of it I added another quadrant so I can have a total of six levers. All for the price of the yoke alone in other stores. So thrilled! New photo will follow when it arrives some time in January.
  6. Looking forward to this, Morten! I'm sending you a PM soon.
  7. I have the MU-2 with the latest patch installed. Not sure what number it is, as I'm not on the computer with it installed. But the gauge works as it should as far as I can see.
  8. Great to hear, Andrzej. Would be great to just stick it in the keyboard or back of the computer - and leave it there.
  9. I was under the impression I had seen with my own eyes that you could order a USB dongle for home use, so you don't need DVD1 inserted. I had accidentally forgot DVD1 at my own home, over two hours drive away. Now I'm at my parents place for the holiday and, well, I can't fly. Having a USB dongle attached to my cluster of other dongles and USB drives would've been easier to remember to take with me. I was shocked about the $750 price tag being the only choice. I'm not interested in a FAA approved boot sequence, nor do I need that. Am I dreaming or did the option to purchase a USB dongle for home use exist just a few weeks ago?
  10. It runs very smooth indeed! Added 10 of them, and I lost only 3-4 fps vs. no AI at all. Wow! GA is very welcome to a AI pack! I find the ATC giving weird commands though. Haha.. I have four 747-400 taxiing all over the place now, even on the smallest taxiways. Weird!
  11. The first link is dead. Are you aware of that? Downloaded the second one now. Will test asap.
  12. My first real flight in XP10. Finally. ENOP (Oppdal Fagerhaug) to ENVA (Trondheim Værnes). My all time favorite (next to the Duchess), the MU-2. The flight was done mostly with AirTrack on iPad. Only manual take-off and landing. I'm happy to report AirTrack and MU-2 goes hand in hand, just like the Dash 8
  13. I'm flying the MU-2 in XP10 right now. It's performing great! I notice one thing though. The propellers are rendered a bit weird. As if the disc is opaque and disables the clouds or any other volumetric entity like clouds or haze. Looking forward to the update, Tom. And I gotta add, I'm flying with the AirTrack app on iPad. The MU-2 is taking commands from my iPad. It's a dream flying this way. FMC, MCP, gosh.. Just sit back and relax.
  14. Not really airport scenery, going way out of bounds here. Flight from ENVA (Trondheim Værnes Lufthavn) which is the closest airport. I went south along E6 and found my hometown. A right turn down the valley towards the farm where I grew up. Surprisingly, the roads are mostly spot on. All I miss is farms, a few houses and not least, the river that runs through the valley. But it's looking really, really good. Oh and BTW, the west end of the runway at ENML is covered with trees.. Totally impossible to perform a safe landing.
  15. I ignored it and continued installation, hoping an update (which would be necessary anyway) could fix it. And it did. I will report back to Laminar though.
  16. Thanks for replying so quickly, Tom. I'm having pre x-mas visitors a few days this week, but I'll be sure to check around the most used airports in Norway to see (and show through screenshots) just to check that I'm not totally blind.
  17. I swear I read somewhere that most (major?) airports would have some kind of autogen scenery. I loaded several norwegian airports I know have international flights, but they all looked completely abandoned. I haven't checked any other airports anywhere in the world, but wasn't there an article about this, and that airports would have some autogen scenery like terminals and a tower at least? Anything is better than nothing. My impression might've been wrong. Heck! Even the ground autogen is lacking! Can't see a damn house anywhere near the airports (tested with ENVA and ENGM the limited time I had). What's up with that? I thought XP10 would be packed with buildings with the absolute maximum of objects switched on. Even XP9 have more autogen in its default setting.
  18. Nope, I downloaded the installer a few days back. Thought that one might be weird, so I re-downloaded today before install.
  19. I checked Disc 1 and I could clearly see stripes in the disc. I'm not sure if this paper cover thing is so good. I'd prefer something like the way DVD movies are handled. Push and lift, instead of sliding the disc on a hard surface. The stripes match the way the disc is scraping against the paper cover. Makes me think: Why do we still use these fragile plastic discs for distribution? They could easily distribute the sim on one or two 64GB SDHC memory cards...
  20. Just got home from my parents, and started installing right away. Tried on two computers here, both produce the same error. It's the first thing I see after I have chosen what global scenery I want to install and Continue the installation. Whyyyyyy? Edit: ok, so I hit continue. And, I'm getting more of these errors. Things like other planes, textres, and terrain. DAmmit!!
  21. Finally got home to my parents house. Installing on their iMac. Couldn't resist.
  22. Incredible. The package has arrived! At my parents house... Mom called me. Did you order something from Colum.. Culombi.. USA? YES!! When did it arrive? This morning. Dammit, and you were in town yesterday. You'll have to wait until the birthday party on Saturday then. But of course, I won't bring my PC on the train just to fly X-Plane at my fathers 50th birthday. Monday can't come soon enough !
  23. Thank you. Unfortunately I haven't been able to work on this for months. Scenery development is slow when you have billions of other things to do to put food on the table and roof over your head. I'm missing a few buildings, the yellow iconic "follow me" car and such. I dunno - do you need it, or do you think it's OK as it is now?
  24. What's this based on?
  25. So they don't treat cheap international parcels any different?
