Beautiful shots, kaosfere!

While re-familiarizating myself with the Saab i decided to explore Central America for the first time in X-Plane. San Jose, Costa Rica (MROC) to Bocas del Toro, Panama (MPBO) PARAI 3 departure - crossing 5500 feet and turning right to intercept G440 airway Working hard to cross PARAI at 15000 feet due mountains ... otherwise i would need to proceed via Limon VOR Barely made it! As a reward i can now set cruise power, sit back and enjoy the views ;] Gear down, flaps 20 - descending to MDA of 600ft on VOR/DME approach runway 26 After landing in Bocas del Toro - enjoying the views again ;]

Thanks X-Plane 10.30b3 SkyMaxx Pro FlyWithLua + Real Terra Haze FlyJSim 737-200 Dreamfoil Bell 407 Finally, on the last three screens you can see SimHeaven's ZL17 photoscenery (over Netherlands).

Hello, Coming back to simming i've found a lot of new stuff to play with, namely FlyWithLua+RTH, FJS TwinJet & Dreamfoil Bell 407. X-Plane has certainly took a good step forward during the last year! As i've also recently replaced my old monitor with a new, unlike one, i would like to share some screenshots with you. Hope you like them! P.S. In case you're wondering, it's ultrawide 29" (21:9 aspect ratio, 2560x1080) screen. ^^ Love these cockpit shadows & reflections! ^^

Nothing to be proud of...

Thanks for your reply, Tom Registering drawing callback seems to be the easy part of it. I'm pretty sure i'm doing everything ok when it comes to registering the callback: XPLMRegisterDrawCallback(myDrawingCallback, xplm_Phase_Gauges, 0, NULL);I'm 100% sure myDrawingCallback is getting called by X-Plane rendering pipeline. I bet the problem is in the drawing callback itself...

Hello guys! I've asked this on the other forums, but no one answered my question so far. I know there are some talented devs here, so i thought i'll give it a try and ask for your help. I'm just taking my first steps with drawing custom instruments using OpenGL (and OpenGL in general). So far i have properly registered drawing callback for gauges phase that draws simple OpenGL primivites. I'm aware that i need to do all of my OpenGL rendering on the panel texture for the instrument to be visible in 3D cockpit. However all my drawing stuff ends up being simply rendered inside X-Plane window (on top of the panel, gauges etc.) and not on the underlying panel texture. For now, my drawing callback is really simple: int myDrawingCallback(XPLMDrawingPhase inPhase, int inIsBefore, void* inRefcon) { XPLMSetGraphicsState(0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0); ... [couple of basic gl* functions to draw a simple line] ... return 1; }Could someone please explain to me what should i do to direct all of my OpenGL drawing to the underlying panel texture and not to the X-Plane window itself? Thanks in advance!

Thanks Nothing extraordinary with my AA settings: http://i40.tinypic.com/aw3nlh.png I'm not forcing anything on the drivers (nvidia inspector etc.). Those screenshots you are reffering to have been captured over NZ scenery + SkyMaxx Pro. If i remember correctly, the only edit was resize and/or crop.

Positive rate, gear up! + Bonus

Reminds me watching PMDG 737NGX pre-release cockpit introduction video. Only now i'm excited even more This is going to be the first real XP study sim that you can fly RNAV routes with***. Outstanding achievement, guys. Simply can't wait. *** Pity LES didn't implement any proper GPS/FMS on the Saab, as it's pretty unrealistic to fly without RNAV equipment nowadays (at least here in Europe).

Leen, could you please consider doing Sprint Air 340A Cargo variant if your free time permits? They use those cargo versions to haul mail every work day all over Poland. One of the best looking liveries on the Saab IMHO. Propably not the easiest to paint, but I bet with your talent it would look fantastic in XP!

Never heard of the company "Pipistrel" before and just today i've seen this on a local air show: Nice marketing slogan

Hats off to Leen! I can only hope that he'll make SprintAir at some time

Looks great!

Thanks guys. I'm sold.

T50, how would you rate this Mi-2 when compared to Dreamfoil creations (R22, AS350) ? I would love to buy it, but i'm afraid of simplicity of it's flight model and/or systems implementation.

So you're telling me that you've been flying that precisely with R22 Beta using external view? WOW!

Nice flying with the "nervous" R22! By the way, did you fly from external view and record video at the same time? or did you use some kind of a trick?
