No. Payment methods available will be: PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express. You could theoretically set PayPal up to take from your bank as a money transfer. It will be available here: http://www.x-aviation.com

We do not have a list of the folder names readily available. The best method for this would be to utilize the names of each zip file downloaded to your computer, and frankly, I haven't tested whether embedded folders would work with RealScenery yet. Maybe at a later date we can test this and configure the installer to do things in this fashion.

Please consult your support ticket replies.

Hey BaBene, Thanks for all your coherent commentary in this, and best wishes going into the holidays!

BaBene, Thanks for your well thought out post. I'll let Tom answer his side to this, but I'll also remind you that after sales support is every bit a factor in this. Linux does not behave as "easy" as mass consumer operating systems, and it's made even more rough by the multitude of flavors. The simple answer to that is to say we only support one flavor, but even then there's the staff support training costs and upkeep of the plugin development (which believe it or not is not as simple as drop and compile and up to this point has required quite a bit of work to achieve almost the same Windows and Mac functionality). It all ultimately comes down to economics, and that's something we'll continue to pay attention to in the years going forward. As for these wannabe Linux users? There must be a lot of them in the X-Plane world. Most of them are quite demanding and even vengeful in other public venues. I'm sure there's plenty of good folk, but when the only ones who want to speak up are these so called "wannabe's" it doesn't put a good taste in our mouth.

Curious to know why Aerosoft offers a FF format and a Laminar one then for XP. Either way, this has no bearing on the original question by deetee. While the database may contain the same data, it is not in the same format.

The format for this product has been chosen. Making such a change like that would NOT be a good decision at this point (and I don't think FF uses default data...seems they have their own dataset).

Please see post 12.

What is shown is only what it's told to show. It definitely sounds as though your METAR was perhaps majorly messed up. That's all controlled/interpreted by X-Plane or whatever other plugin you use to download such sources and set X-Plane weather, so I'm not sure we can be all to blame. A test: Open X-Plane and set your own weather settings manually of what you personally would have expected to see. Does this now look better represented than what you saw in this real weather download situation?

The code runs within X-Plane. There is no significant drop in performance on my machine at all. Everyone's experience will be linear to their setup, so this is not the easiest question to answer.

It's not shipped that way because the eye candy people like is not that selection. It just so happens in your scenario it may work better with Frank's suggestion.

I read every post in this forum. I do not selectively seek you out. I am not IXEG and my words are not theirs. I AM in part responsible for the lack of Linux compatibility as the one making such business decisions at X-Aviation.

Just an expression to say they will be buying it!

Strange. What add-ons could possibly be mandatory? If you feel some add-ons are "mandatory" and don't support Linux then you'll technically not use X-Plane for any OS other than Windows anyhow. I suppose there could be some freeware, but still curious to know. Just right here you said:

Similar to your antics about Linux? Here you are talking up some MSFS product, meaning you use Windows for it. You jumping in here to talk about Linux nonsense is silliness. You obviously have the capability to run Windows given your favorite MSFS aircraft. Please, man. I'm not attempting to "piss off" anyone. There is a reality here. If I asked you to pump gas into a gas tank with a big hole in it and you had to pay for the gas, would you? From a sense AND business standpoint it's money down the drain. Someone has to FUND Linux development. I'm not going to do "charity" work for the sake of a handful of people to have fun. It has to make sense, and right now it does not.

Going out of our way to get a small market to do things we don't have to do for Mac and Windows is not worth the time. It is your thinking that's part of the Linux problem. It's more work for VERY little return. As for your pdf it seems very irrelevant. It talks about some old format provided by Aerosoft that in NO way presents the same issues on the 737.

This product is about simulating the real version of this aircraft. As such, I can't ever see something like this happening.

The regional version is still supported and if that's the only area you fly then get it!

Keep pestering him. I do it all the time!

Wish you would have posted a screenshot of the weather screen as well.

Typically happens "when it's ready".

Really great looking stuff, Omar. Congrats on the release!

kais, Sheesh, you made it sound like you haven't been answered in weeks, which certainly is not the case. We'll get you taken care of, but after reviewing this you're just a little out of the normal response time. Cameron

Thanks for providing that. I'll look into why this went amiss for so long.

Provide your ticket number.
