The AC3D plugin is long over due for an update, and while all of the new features for manipulators etc are in the code base, Laminar do not currently have the man power to devote to building releases for all 3 operating systems. It is my understanding that the code on github should build a mac plugin, but requires porting to Windows. Is anyone with the necessary skills able to take a look and see if this very useful plugin could be brought back in to development? Repo is here for anyone wanting to fork it - https://github.com/X-Plane/xptools Thanks!

Define stable. Doesn't sound like its stable at the moment...

It sounds like a Z Buffer thing You can specify a polygon offset in objects, and i think ground polygons to tell the GPU where to draw the ground textures in relationship to each other. See the Obj8 spec here. Can't find one for .pol atm.

Check the smart data for your disks. Might be worth swapping the SATA cables too, they fail more frequently than the disks themselves. Make an image of your OS drive when you're done with the fresh install, saves a lot of time when you hit errors, or fancy a refresh to clear out all the accumulated windows junk. Try Acronis, or Macrium, both make images and bootable recovery media, i think.

Cockpit work is continuing nicely, hoping to post an update to my blog in the coming weeks. I might look in to DCS, but no plans to do anything with FSX. Thanks!

Oh, sorry, i didn't realise this was posted in the IXEG forum, still trying to get to grips with this funky layout! As above though, you can alter the lateral field of view within X-Plane to suit any monitor aspect ratio, so its more a case of matching your settings to your monitor, not the other way around. Hope that makes sense...

Which aeroplane? You can adjust the lateral field of view to alter the 'roundness' of things in the sim.

Keep it in the bank and earn some interest on it for a while longer yet Sir, but we'll get there eventually!

Are there any promo videos of this in action? A time restricted demo would be really useful for a product like this. :-)

(cough) Just moved to a new city and started a 4 year degree course at university (cough) :-) Seriously though, I'm a bit busy with real life at the moment, but work on the jag is just above stationary. I have a few bits of cockpit that I could show images from, but I'm never happy posting messy images. Good news is that I have full access to XX145, the ex ETPS Jaguar T2, so I can get some great info and more accurate dimension data with a short drive. Scotch egg, in return for your continued interest, I'll send you something to play with in the near future. Email me at the address on my blog and I'll be in contact as soon as I can. Cheers!

Thanks Mr Egg, and i'm sure we'll see an Arctic Camo scheme soon! Thanks for your comments, its good to know that i am not the only one who is excited about this project!

Hehe, that reminds me of medical assesments of the past. Cough please! In other news: http://x-planejag.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/update.html :-)

Ah, the whispering death, can't wait to see your progress Sir! Don't be put off by the long journey, research, testing, building and rebuilding all takes lots of time. I'm sure there will be times when you wish you hadn't started, but just keep everything backed up, and put in what ever time you can, when you can. Cheers!
