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.

X-Aviation is please to announce the opening of our own forum category here, and the announcement of a new product available as a beta download. You can learn more here: http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php?topic=567.0 Happy flying!

As always, when we have news, we'll announce it. Until then, please be patient. Quietness = working.

That's pretty darn cool! The video geometry is definitely crazy!

Hi, Jack, Contrast is actually not that low in sim when compared to these images. Just looking at them compared to in sim now and it appears the RGB export from Adobe vs Web may have played a little here. Even the aircraft is noticeably more vibrant in sim, but you get the idea.

Hi, Jack, KLEE is pretty good overall. It is one of the very few places in the scenery that has a very SMALL amount of single clouds floating in the imagery, but nothing big and nothing widespread enough to really be annoying. Florida is also, for the most part, the only package you'll see this in. Even still, it's actually my favorite package to fly around...often doing flights in the Falco from Daytona-Melbourne-Tampa. It's pretty to fly over! Here are some shots of the requested area:
