As all plugins that simulate g-forces in 3d view-mode are outdated or colliding with the new XP10 view modes, it would be very nice to have a new good plugin for that. I know that the "cinema vertité" option within X-Plane already simulates g-forces but unfortunately it's not possible to customize it and it adds a constant swaying that makes it impossible to handle a complex 3D cockpit. Since almost all planes come with a 3D cockpit nowadays and more complex aircraft /airliners are coming up I think such a plugin would be very welcomed. Features that would be nice: - adjustable force effects - adjustable nullzone - shortkey to enable / disable the effects - maybe it is possible to bind the effects to the quick views in a way that allows to have the effect enabled for some views and auto-disabled for others (FMC, radios, GPS...) Anyone interested in doing it? Would be great! Thanks Flo

Whew!

Nice one, Cameron

Wow, looks like you need new tires now. What would be the max. save crosswind speed for landing a 737 classic? Probably depending on RW conditions and RW width too... Flo

Glaciers look beautiful and realistic now, good work! I expect urban winter textures to be a even more challenging work... Go on! Flo

Hi Tom, do you know what's wrong with the cockpit shadows? Some have very ugly aliasing and low res whilst others don't and look really nice. Regards Flo

10.21 (next release) will include the new data. See Ben's blog. Cheers Flo

Outstanding work. My admiration, Nils. No need to change anything here - well - maybe to release this thing and stop torturing us Cheers Flo

It's a beauty! Thanks for sharing guys!

Somehow I think that clouds actually were moving in early 10.02 versions and that they spread to the horizon too. But I could be wrong. But I'm sure that clouds used to be a ultimate FPS killer in those early versions too. There is definately a lot of work needed to make the clouds / weather and behave plausible. I fear the list of what's still wrong with XP10 is quite long and progress is obviously slow... Flo

It's the JFK-Freeware by Frede (search the x-plane.org file library). In fact it has HDR lighting and it's mostly white. Cheers Flo

Thanks Tom, sounds good, looking forward to new screenshots, I'm sure they will be impressive. Best regards Flo

I think I remember Jan saying that it would be released in max. 6 month "from now". That was in September 2012. Is that timeframe still valid? Happy new year to all of you Flo

I see, thanks. Good luck Flo

It has been more than a month since Tom finished the package. Any ideas when in will be available to customers? I know it's getting quite busy right now at x-aviation but on the other hand it is "just" an update and not a new plane... Regards Flo

Cool, another FSX vs. X-Plane topic. Haven't seen that...for days!

After some hours of exploring the new New Zealand I'm stunned by the quality of the scenery. Add some livestock and it's perfect Hope a couple of the airport creators jump into it and make some nice v10 GAs. Thanks again Flo

I see, looks like you've already thought this through @Chris: Thanks a lot. Looking forward to a weekend in NZ! Cheers Flo

Great work, Andras, very much appreciated! You should start a company together with Albert and sell high quality regional scenery packages for XP10. I'm serious. Are there any good new zealand freeware airports? Of course I have the Christchurch scenery but is there anything else yet? Thanks Flo

Some building have night textures (warehouses and stuff like that) but others don't have (some highrises). I guess this is because of the "intermediate" state of play regarding the new art assets. More are to come within 10.20 beta run. I really hope there will be some kind of urban ground textures because unless you are able to run max objects and max roads there is still to much pasture-green in and around cities. But nonetheless a good deal better than before. Cities start to look like real cities and with some more art assets, lighting done right and some fine tuning it will definately look amazing! Flo

1.5. is done? This hit me by surprise - best x-plane news for weeks;) Keeps me from buying another nice (but somehow "all the same") carenado plane. I'm really eager for going back to the new unike moo. Thanks Tom and Cameron for all your efforts! Flo

I really appreciate that and I never had hard feelings about the delay of the V10 update (just some minor disappointment). I can imagine that the update is a lot of work and that things changed in a manner that was unpredictable for you. I really hope that the V10 update will generate some income for you as more/new X-Planers will buy the "new" MU2. Cheers Flo

The cities in X-plane might need some improvement, but...NEW YORK at night is already awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry for the ugly data, I wasn't prepared for the beauty;) CRJ 200, JFK Freeware, latest X-Plane version

I just wish they would get rid of that stupid and ugly GNS430. It's low quality in every bit.

Wow, you're really going to dig into it, aren't you? Looking forward to the next post. Thanks Flo
