Good to see progress Kieran, this is one I'm waiting for.

backup, backup, backup.

That's a yes ;D

Apologies if this has already been answered, but will the barometer setting on the altimeter be readable on the update? Having started flying this magnificent creature, that's something I noticed immediately.

If I didn't already own all the planes, I'd be buying Looking at the real scenery stuff - only US hub the VA has is KATL, in Georgia... might try one though.

JB is on the ball with this one. Euroharmony is rolling out official support for x-plane, and as you'll know from emails I've sent you over a year ago Javier, we're particularly interested in commuters and airliners. Although we ensure there's a freeware model available for aircraft in our fleet, good payware gets a repaint which encourages members to buy. There's a big market for the 'lite' planes - well modelled, good looking, easy to pick up and fly aircraft. The flight1 ATR 72-500 was a big splash in the MSFS world when it came out - how about that one?

Glad you like it Tom. ;D The paintkit makes repainting and getting a great result much easier. For future releases, inclusion of a LIT mask would improve even further, as I had to make my own. I see that you used different light directions depending on where the tail number appeared on your liveries, so I guess you had to make a few. On a sidenote, is there a plugin that will reload a livery in x-plane, currently I have to load a different one, then load the wip.

I repainted Tom's MU-2 today in my VA colours (and flew her). No idea if it will even become part of the fleet, but I needed to inspire myself to fly her more often.

If it goes airliner, and assuming you want to keep programming light, then I'd like to see, in order: Boeing MD-17 B1900D Douglas MD-83 Embraer EMB120 C-130 / L100

Lol. I've mirrored it over on the VA forums, and the link back is intact. Just need the 'Man of Pants' to make his edits. The article is fantastic and will be useful to virtual pilots far and wide, regardless of the sim they fly.

Pack of cheesy wotsits? ;D

Image looks like Sega Bass Fishing. love the Live Bait tag ;D

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial Enjoyed it all.

Well made vid, as ever simon.

You could apply for our VA (I know we have spaces) with the following caveats: Normal flights, division flights, missions and tours could all be flown by you on OSX and reported using our manual pirep report on the website. What you wouldn't be able to do are the flights that require the use of the flight logger tool as this is currently only for windows. That excludes Propilot flights (where the whole flight is recorded and scored based on following company procedure on turning lights on and off, not exceeding 250 under 10k etc. and each aircraft is modeled individually in database and stays where it was last flown). Also Propilot events, where a set of legs are flown over a few months by pilots signing up to the event. These are the same roiutes as are flown 'normally', so theres no content you're excluded from, you just can't use the Flogger tool and have the flight critiqued and scored. The tool does work with x-plane on windows though, and if XPUIPC were to ever have a plugin for mac, you could run this on a separate windows laptop on the network. X-plane support is currently in infancy - I fly x-plane exclusively now (and have for my VA for the past year) and have been spearheading support for it for a while, two other Management Team members have now picked up x-plane as well, including 'el presidente' for whom the x737 repaint was a birthday present for, so things are looking up. In summary, you can fly most flights in x-plane on a mac no problem, there are a few features (that many pilots do not make use of) that you cannot at the moment use from mac, but I imagine support will improve. I'm currently developing the next iteration of the website (which is sorely in need of revamp) and have been thinking of multi-sim support throughout development. The repaints for our x-plane fleet have been added to our new file management system which is pending going live but if you did join, you could send an email in to MT or post on the forums to get the links to those. Many of our pilots fly on IVAO or VATSIM and we support both networks. We're a long established VA (~10 years) with hubs across Europe, stretching to the US, Far East and now Canada. MSFS established and now x-plane friendly, full support in progress (We have a large fleet to find freeware models for and repaint). http://www.fly-euroharmony.com

First the x737-800. This aircraft is from the main fleet and has that livery. Next is skycycle's Land DHC-6 - I doubled the texture size and redid most of the details on this one. It's for our newly launching division called 'Wild' which is for bush flying around the BC/Alaska Area I believe.

Nice one Simon. Love the music too ;D

Can you detail the process you used to do it?

I would expect that it will use the four cores you have more than xp9 does, so there should be an improvement there. More cores will allow you to turn settings up further i imagine.

aye, whitespace is free! ;D

It will (64bit) and win 7 fixes a lot of problems with vista, such as: shoutdown not shutting the machine but hibernating it and the mess vista made of the profile folders.

The only unfortunate effect of the karma is that you can get voted down by simply holding an unpopular opinion, regardless of how the posts are put across. I think it's a shame that the karma reflects popularity more than constructive posting, and that people are much more willing to vote karma down than up. I can't really think of a good way of fixing it without breaking it though, other than capping the receivable karma from a post (maybe alrteady implemented) or making positive karma a higher value than negative. EDIT: I think switching karma off for the rant forum might be a good idea though. Thats a place to blow off some steam and shouldn't really carry karma reward/penalty IMHO.

It's smokey from LOST! ;D

My advice is this: 1. Get intel over the AMD, i7 4tw. 2. Get a single GPU nvidia. I have had driver nightmares with x-plane and ATI, and crossfire is ignored, so you'll get half the card's worth.

Would I be right in assuming you want to use x-plane as a visual system, slaved to another input source for the flight data? If so, I believe this is possible and has been done. Best places to look are the plugin sdk and a search of the .org
