Flew from KSEA to CYVR for fun while testing out some new HD Assets I'm working on

Hey Tony, In regards to making this "aimed at scenery developers and not normal users:" I am a scenery developer myself and I didn't understand how your application functioned (actually I couldn't even get it to run). If you are able to make this available to people to simply use with minimal knowledge of programming (ie, none, such as practically everyone), you would be a hero amongst the community. I find so often these tools are developed for developers, and practically no one can make use of these rich resources. User-friendliness would be a game changer. Keep up your good work, and sorry to hear you pulled your download (and I'd say I'm sorry that people were sending you rude emails but I'm more simply downright confused as to why they would...)

I just want to let everyone know that over the next two weeks I'm going to work on upgrading the textures of the parking areas and parking lines, as they are currently quite low resolution. If there are any other textures I should fix, please let me know, and I'll see what I can do! I hope you're all enjoying the new library and trust me, there is a lot more to come still. Colin S

(If you can't find it, the file is currently being updated )

Thanks, glad you will enjoy it It's released in the File Library page Enjoy!

Time to start fixing Vancouver... I can't wait for this to go public! You are awesome at this stuff

These are turning out well. I think after this and maybe "MaxxLensFlare" we will have no use for photoshop on our screenshots.

I have since restarted development. Thanks all.

P3D is strictly for educational and professional purposes, not for entertainment. I don't see how it's competition for X-Plane.

So... I haven't released anything recently, but I have about 10 projects in purgatory that I haven't announced. Tonight I went on a rampage and developed a library replacement package of HD lines to replace the default (awful) lines in XP10. So far it makes every default-asset using airport feel and look way better. I'll be releasing this sometime this week, with a few different colour choices (no sun-dried tomato, sorry). Anyways, here's what I'm excited about. Yes, I (ME) am excited because I've never made anything particularly useful. Without further ado, a screenshot!

John, you are now the greatest person in the X-Plane world. Thank you for all this. It is AMAZING. I also want to add... thank you for doing this. Before this addon, I never realized how bland X-Plane was (and also how poorly it simulated things like tropical sunshine and the contrast in real-life ground colours)... Along with SkyMAXX I think these things should be basically the go-to product that people should buy immediately after purchasing X-Plane.

This is intended for Cameron: My latest update to the BC Airfields/Heliports scenery file is still pending approval after 8 days - what needs to be fixed about it?

This will make generating orthophoto scenery so cool... imagine this plus RealScenery Oahu....

Love the signature...

Thank you. What about roof type? Will your utility be caring whether it has a sloped roof or not?

Just a general question to make sure I'm not wasting my time doing a ton of OSM stuff for my local area (at about 400 houses/barns/buildings so far), building:levels is the tag for building height, right?

All I need now is money and we're all set. New computer, SkyMAXX, MAXXFX... wait is this a bad pun for that videogame... never mind... mass effect... get it... anyways, looking forward to seeing the results of this, it will be AMAZING (it already is).

Ok I'm going to start working on Vancouver RIGHT AWAY because X-Plane thinks that downtown Vancouver is a trailer park at the moment.

All I can say is this is amazing... Wow! I'm going on OSM rampages to get as many local buildings put in as possible I'm about 170 buildings total so far and counting. Could we see some examples of what skyscrapers end up looking like?

Just an observation (beautiful work) but having only two or three roof colours is a little strange looking... might want to aim for 10-12. Also, when this becomes available, I'd want to do my local areas (Vancouver and Kamloops)... so in the meantime, might as well get to work adding building information... what layer of OpenStreetMap does this use? I've never been able to figure this out for OSMXP. Can't wait, this is definitely high demand! Thank you!

Flew into an airport that's still under construction...
