  1. Fantastic !
  2. Very much excited by this plane.
  3. FYI, Vmax is the producer of the aircraft. And Vmax is Nicolas Taureau. http://www.corporationwiki.com/Florida/Tallahassee/vmax-flight-llc/28788860.aspx From my understanding, Nicolas got the licensing from Boeing for the 757, 767 and 777 and delegated work to developers. Pascal
  4. Wow, just wow !!!
  5. You're welcome ! Nice to hear that you like to fly in Switzerland, that's where I live. BTW, I often fly in the US FYI in the (I hope) near future X-Plane will have an infrastructure for airports to be crowdsourced. When this happens, the airport base included by default should grow very fast. Pascal
  6. Hi, LSGG: http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=16230 maps of available scenery: http://www.xpscenery.net/index.html Pascal

    My latest vid

    Certainly one of the best X-Plane video I've seen. No doubt a lot of work has been put into this one. Congrats !
  8. Polygon limit ? What polygon limit ? Pascal
  9. Excellent video ! But, why does the thread's title say "Ramzzess Aviation | Sukhoi Superjet for X-plane 9 and 10" ??
  10. Happy birthday Philipp ! Pascal
  11. I'm speechless ! Pascal
  12. And here are some well written answers to Avsim's "honest" review : http://forum.avsim.net/topic/364131-ms-flight-i-gave-them-the-benefit-of-the-doubt-i-really-did/ Ok, by now (or since a long time), we know it's a game. I have no problem with that. But, is it even a good game ? Frankly, I'm awaiting some reviews from gamers, not simmers trying to positive the experience of being taken without care by Microsoft (yes I mean that! ).
  13. Woaw, this is worse than I thought: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpost.php?p=395288&postcount=13 http://forum.avsim.net/topic/364126-found-something-i-dont-like-in-flight/ To be fair, I didn't try it, but seeing the screenshots and video (even the better ones), I'm shocked. I thought MS would be able to show something really good for such a limited region. Also, this must be kept in perspective with the fact that nobody else than MS will be able to correct mistakes. Approximations are ok in an open and worldwide simulator. That's cheap, that's really cheap !
  14. Fabulous model Javier ! I like turboprops, and we need some diversity in X-plane too ! Cheers ! Pascal
  15. Now, that's a good idea ! Why didn' Microsft think of that ? Oh wait, it's not out yet, maybe they did ! Have a Greeeed day !
  16. French people believe Gruyère is just a cheese.
  17. yes, I've seen seen moving trains in Italy too
  18. Gruyère is not in France !!!! It's in Switzerland ! Nice video btw ! Pascal
  19. Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric 32bits Intel Quad Q6600 4Gb ram Geforce GTX 560ti 2Gb on Port PCIe 1.0 16x (reported as PCIe 8x by Nvidia panel, which is true in the 2.0 standard) Screen resolution: 1920x1200 No standard AA (I use the HDR AA) Visibility was 100nm AI aircrafts: 2 Framerate was all the time between 20 and 45 and no hickups. Obviously the banwidth is the bottleneck of my system. I see it if I enable global shadows AND maximize object at the same time. Not surprised, considering the table on this page: http://www.x-plane.c...ame-rates-pt-1/ In short, roads, forests, objects and shadows use banwidth. To give you an idea, I can max out (insane !) buildings and roads in Seattle, with very low world distance detail, but without global shadows, and still fly well. That give me an already very satisfying experience, even if global shadow would be very nice. The night and global lighting is not any harder on FPS than day, even with HDR, which is surprising given the complexity of global lighting. Still one thing: with the scenario above, I use very few clouds. I have yet to dicover how to tune option to get the most consistant FPS with clouds. It's never good to experiment too many things at a time. In short, don't hesitate to find two or three different setting best adapted to the kind of flights you want to do (ex: "cloudy", "cities", "orthophotos"). For that it's important to understand which part of your system is strong and which is not, and look at the table I linked to to see what feature are ok. Don't try to follow blindly the settings of other persons (not even mine), it won't help you to understand the basics. The article linked above is enlighting, and the basic principle underlined: tune from down up ! Cheers ! P.S: be careful with 4xSSAA HDR option and big number of objects: I had some crashes, probably due to the fact my 32bits system can't allocate enough RAM to X-plane. I'll probably upgrade to Ubuntu 64 soon because of that.
  20. Hello ! When I'm at work, on winXP-Firefox, those links: http://www.x-pilot.com/ http://forums.x-pilot.com/ are redirected and land at: http://www.x-pilot.com/change/ this is since the summer when some changes took place. the only way to enter the forum is to type the full: http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php This is strange, because I don't have this problem at my home. This is a concern, maybe some people simply can't access x-pilot. I guess some redirection somewhere is acting strangely. Or maybe a problem with IPv6 ? do you use it ?
  21. hello woweezowee, did you install the full version or did you only install global scenery over the demo ?
  22. Hi Nicolas ! Go to http://zonephoto.x-plane.fr/?l=EN and select Switzerland. careful, these are full tiles at level 16, quite heavy ! I have also made nearly a third of USA myself with G2XPL at level 14 or 15 (not Xp2osm ! ) Now I wil have to start again to have v10 techs included ! (roads and more elevation points) @Merisi : I'll post my settings after I finish work, stay tuned !
