We are currently working on wrapping it up. There is one more piece to the package we are adjusting and then we'll have it out! This weekend is still accurate. Either today sometime, or early tomorrow.

Major airports are very much so in the works.

Requests never hurt and are always welcome! Your show of support for the product is the first step to ensuring things like that happen.

I'm not going to turn this topic into such a discussion of semantics. Plenty of people will be able to prove my point this weekend. You can wait till those verdicts are in. The video in and of itself does a good enough job in showing fluidity even with capture software running.

Heavily optimized. I am not noticing any crazy impacts on my machine vs default.

Promotional video is below! Captains, It is with a lot of excitement that I get to announce a new developer and product today! Attitude Simulations has come aboard with X-Aviation to produce a new series of regions in the X-Plane scenery world. The first series/regions of sceneries will fall under the title of 'The Gate to the Great Lakes' and will feature numerous regions (both cities and airports) within the State of Michigan that when purchased together will give you an entire region of unparalleled detail never before seen in X-Plane! The amount of work that has gone into producing this series is immense, and we are absolutely certain you will be in awe of what you see when you get a chance to see it in sim for yourself! The Gate to the Great Lakes series will feature Custer Airfield (KTTF), Ann Arbor Municipal Airport (KARB), Erie International Airport (KERI), Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (KDTW), and Mackinac Island Airport (KMCD). More may be added depending on how the community reacts to this type of scenery, so if you like what you see here (and we really hope you do), please consider supporting this type of development with your purchase. This is a very dedicated, hard working team of people, and there are other regions outside of Michigan already in the works! The first airport and region to be released will be Custer Airfield (KTTF). We are pleased to announce it will be available for purchase this weekend! Subsequent regions as listed above will be released after Custer and are already very far into development. So, with the above said, let's talk about the Custer Airfield region! Custer Airfield and the nearby town of Monroe, MI. Custer Airfield is small public airstrip located just 20 miles south of KDTW Detroit. The airfield was created in 1946 and originally used as a bombing practice area. There are still signs to this day warning of digging and metal detecting as there have been recent discoveries of unexploded ordinance. Monroe, known for the partial meltdown of its Fermi II nuclear facility back in 1966 (included as POI), is located on Lake Erie’s western coast. KTTF Custer is in perfect range to some exciting destinations, such as New York City, Chicago, Cincinnati, Boston, Washington D.C. & Toronto. Why start with Custer and not the massive, greater known Detroit International Airport? Attitude Simulations wanted to develop an airfield close to home that would offer the real world pilot and avid simmer the ability to simulate realistic VFR training as well as a tough workload in instrument conditions. Working in the pattern you will notice an incredible amount of detail below that helps to bring in a great feeling of immersion as well as flying so close to DTW and having to be aware of the Class Bravo shelf and altitude restrictions in the area. When DTW is landing to the North the traffic comes in directly overhead of KTTF. This presents many challenges and for online pilots it will be a fun place to fly their GA aircraft on busy nights. Helicopter pilots will find themselves getting lost in the details. With several helipads and fun landing zones off field, you air beaters will love simulating medical emergencies and police operations in Monroe, MI. I implore all of those police pilots to search for some illegal operations hiding in the bushes. Utility & charter helicopter pilots should depart from KTTF and give the raised platform at The DTE Fermi II Nuclear plant a shot. Gusty winds off of Lake Erie can make the final approach a bit rough but tons of fun! Here are the features for this first region: ⦁ Hand painted airport ground textures with highly detailed specular maps ⦁ 64 square miles / 164 square kilometers of high quality USGS orthoimagery ⦁ Thousands of hand-placed custom “autogen” buildings ⦁ Realistic foliage for this region of the US ⦁ Commercial areas include actual businesses and industrial warehouses ⦁ DTE Fermi II Nuclear Plant completely modeled with custom raised Helipad ⦁ Accurate night lighting for the airport and surrounding area ⦁ PBR materials for the airport’s structures and static objects ⦁ Many hard to find Easter Eggs ⦁ Animated custom windsocks and airport beacon ⦁ Custom accurate static aircraft ⦁ Created from on site photography and videos ⦁ Plausible LIT textures for most structures ⦁ Edited road system and powerlines Video: A promotional video has been put together to show off this amazing scenery. We hope you enjoy and and support the cause of what promises to be some amazing scenery packages and states/regions throughout the country developed by some very talented individuals at Attitude Simulations! Again, we really hope you like what you see and find the announcement of a developer like this around for X-Plane as exciting as we do. There are many developers which exist for MSFS and P3D who are skilled (ORBX comes to mind as one), but nothing of this caliber has ever been produced for X-Plane. We are proud of what's been produced, and with your support for this kind of scenery creation we are excited at the prospect of bringing many, many more! We'll see you at the release this weekend!

X-Plane 11 is not officially supported at this time (just as the Saab tells you when you load it).

Reading this very thread for the answer and solution to your problem would be a great start!

Fill in the information it asks for?

The sun and angle of the camera needs to be just right for you to see the effect.

One post below the one you just started...

We all responded within a minute of one another! haha.

This is well documented in the forums. Use stuffit expander to unzip.

This post was not even necessary or contributionary, and totally takes the post you are responding to out of context. No one said anything about an explanation needing to be posted on this site. Nicolas should address this. It does not matter where. The X-Plane world is small enough that people will see the response either here, there, or on the reddit thread.

Nicolas will not speak about this. He doesn't operate that way. It's more of a "silent sniper" mentality with him...out of public view until someone says something. That said, this story is in line with history involving Nicolas and phone calls. He has been known to do this before. And, while I don't agree with the words used by Hohum, he had no issue flat out telling what he said, which obviously doesn't put him in a good light (and he knows that). Given history, I'm inclined to believe what I've read here.

I think anyone here would be upset that some random guy who sold you X-Plane software on the internet is calling you or your employer on the phone and harassing people. Nicolas has no business doing that. The right to refuse business is Nicolas' prerogative, but calling someone's place of work? Never.

Well, at least you're honest of your antagonism. While that probably wasn't appropriate or nice of you to say, going as far as you claim he has done above is not even close to acceptable. Nicolas should have walked away from this, perhaps even ignoring you, but the response you've gotten from him (or your employer) is rather scary.

Curious to know...what did you do? In no way is it ever acceptable to seek someone out like this, and that's borderline bad harassment to be calling your work. This sounds rather unbelievable, but I know better unfortunately. A while back I recall a time when I young man was frantically private messaging me here to delete posts he made because Nicolas Taureau (owner of X-Plane.org) was calling his home phone and screaming at him over some issue. The young man explained to me that Nicolas was so irate it seemed as though through his screaming and yelling he could hardly breathe. Very strange stuff. Sorry you've got caught up in this.

You obviously did not understand the context of the words you just responded to from Ben. This has nothing to do with uninstalling the product. Anyone can do that. We provide an uninstaller for a reason.

There is not. You are the first person to complain too. Consider it a special circumstance, as even for a friend I cannot fathom why anyone would leave data on a machine.

Why in the world would you sell and ship someone a PC with your old data on it? It certainly IS a solution to have the machine formatted and OS setup new prior to sale, and you should!

You do not need to worry about that until you have reached the maximum activation limit. At that time you will be offered the ability to de-authorize a computer forever.

Your answer is literally in the conversation above your post. Please read before creating posts.

You don't know anything about Active Sky yet. The aircraft works with every weather program, including SkyMaxx, NOAA, EFASS, and many others. The only one it will not work with is xEnviro at this time.

No. You will need to use default weather or SkyMaxx Pro.
