No need...both of Austin's planes (livery wise) have been done.

X-Aviation is pleased to announce the addition of another developer to our family, as well as the introduction of the Cessna Corvalis TT project (Commonly known as the Columbia 400). Check it out in the Work in Progress section located under JGX-Designs here: http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php?board=77.0

Hello, All, X-Aviation is pleased to announce we have reached a mutual agreement with JGX-Designs to be the publisher of choice for what is sure to be a series of new and exciting aircraft for X-Plane. JGX-Designs is ran by Mr. Jim Gregory, and he'll be able to answer most any of your questions as well as announce features and future products as he progresses with X-Aviation and continues to bring the latest technology and quality products to the table we strive to achieve. With that said, we're happy to also introduce to you JGX-Design's first product: The Cessna Corvalis! Some of you may remember the Columbia 400. This is the same aircraft, however re-labeled to the Cessna Corvalis name after Cessna purchased Columbia Aircraft. Jim will respond here with in depth information on the project, what it provides, and where it will go in the future. Enjoy the screenshots, and again, welcome to the X-Aviation family, Jim!

Hi, there, Everyone will remain with the same plug-in.

Everyone take a breather...seriously. The following post was made only 5 days ago...little has changed: http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php?topic=533.msg5242#msg5242 For every time we have to come over here and answer these questions, it's in that exact moment we get off track of what we're doing and take time away from working on stuff. We promise...when there is genuine news to post, we WILL post it. Until then, let us lay low for a bit and work. It's perfectly okay to ask questions about liveries, some product features, etc., but before doing so, please do research and have a read here: http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php?topic=543.0

Yikes. Someone is having a good night!

I've played around with it. Rather good for personal use, but for a large, widespread area it's a tedious task and not very FPS friendly.

Hi, Alex, Still to be announced. I can tell you that the detail of the mesh is multiple times higher than what you get with stock X-Plane, but until I have more stuff ironed out (this is more or less a product of my own), then I won't be saying much. Soon, though!

Hello, Kaphias, This is something we have evaluated and continue to look at. Gizmo does allow for time delimited use (as seen when you load the Falco), however, at this time demos will not be issued. Until more things are ironed out for purposes of security, we'll continue to evaluate this situation. Today, no, in the future...quite possibly.

Modifying an aircraft is not the way to go, and when we discussed this with Laminar most recently they felt the same way. It was meant for the developer of the aircraft, not anyone else. We've laid a base ground for someone to correct this. Better to work on a fix in the FSE realm now than later...almost any future X-Aviation aircraft will work the same way.

Very cool, Max! It's fun to hear others' stories and how they got involved with 3D sometimes. I've come across some very talented people, that's for sure! Keep up the good work on this one. Definitely looking forward to it.

I think as we introduce the power of Gizmo a bit more to you all you'll start to realize possibilities are starting to become endless and at the restraints of those programming.

This feature has been discussed and planned!

Looking good, Larry...and welcome to the forums!

Looking great, Max! Have you had any 3D experience before starting this project? Looks like you're well on your way and understand Blender well.

Thanks for the responses, guys! Keep them coming!

Hi, all, In an effort to see where the community stands, X-Aviation would like to find out what type of aircraft add-ons you all are most interested in. Please select a category to vote on from above, and then respond here with a list up to three of your favorite aircraft types that you would love to see produced by us.

It won't be done for eight more months.

Hi, Roy, This is a great contribution to the community! Thanks so much for your hard work, and keep at it! I've downloaded it, tried it, and loved it!

Re-Programming

Great video! I enjoyed the music in this as well. Thanks for sharing it with us...and welcome to the forums!

This is a setting within a given OBJ file to define shine on an object.

Garrett, You were plenty clear. The message wasn't necessarily directed at you.

It's real simple, guys... We added in a feature that was extra eye candy. The wipers are part of the plane, so we animated them...we didn't HAVE to add in the rain, but we did for some form of visual effect. We can only do so much within the limitations of XP, it's weather system, and the datarefs/hooks the simulator provides to us. Sooooo.... Don't like it? Don't use it! Just pretend like the feature isn't there (like on every other aircraft around), and you won't have to deal with it. Plain and simple. You can just use the regular X-Plane weather instead. My opinion is it's better than what we have now as default X-Plane stands, so I'm happy to use it and have it. It's things like this that ultimately tell Laminar where to improve. "Pushing the envelope" as they say... Also bear in mind it's design to work when the rain is "heavy" in X-Plane.
