  1. Thanks for the help guys!!.....phewww
  2. Glad you have it sorted, please let us know if it comes back and any variables that cause it.......This is something we'd definitely love to nail down absolute... As it stands we can't reproduce it...
  3. Right not to be short or dismissive but we've been advertising V4 for awhile, it's no secret...... You decided to buy V3 and now you expect something for nothing......But wait we offer a 50% discount to existing V3 customers....that's really crappy I know....terrible practices I wish we could of stopped you , somehow read your mind and intervened before you made YOUR decision.... We are truly sorry....
  4. That was my master negotiation skills, oh probably a few beers in me too....lol
  5. Ah Tony that's just my goofy way of saying we got a lot more stuff up our sleeves....
  6. We don't announce future plans very often but rest assured we are taking the Darwinian approach
  7. On the eve of V4 I want to take the time to thank the community for your continued support of our products. Speaking for myself, I started down this path years ago with my first release "UrbanMAXX"..... Since then I partnered up with SunDog and X-Aviation and our offerings grew to give you the very best experiences in X-Plane.... I started in the world of flight sim with FS9 and then X-Plane 9 with no intent of becoming a developer.... Once I got ahold of X-Plane 10 I fully realized the potential for this platform and was put off by the lack of development.... UrbanMAXX was born out of the idea that X-Plane could be better and why the hell not ,I'm going to be a positive influence and do my best to help.... Those days are long gone and X-Plane 11 is currently driving towards the front of the pack at a rapid pace....I like to think we had a big hand in pushing them over that divide and I am still really excited about being a part of this awesome franchise..... But we wouldn't be here if it wasnt for you guys. Again I want to thank you for supporting us through the years and we hope to be there supporting your hobby for many years to come....

  8. I'm certain he's following the EULA on this matter....
  9. I'm pretty certain he addressed your issue prior......from what I understand it's completely resolved....
  10. Now we are getting "Dear Cameron" letters
  11. You are right Marshall thank you for your time on this, sorry if you've spent too much already. I'm hoping you can gain some of it back later......... You've gotten your point across and I highly suggest you stand clear for your well being and we are truly sorry for trying to express our opinions on the matter we should suck it up!
  12. AoA_22 But what if that Ford is getting 35mpg now? That's what we are looking at, no excuses being implemented by any of us. His request for a medium to long distance flight has popped up on a couple posts now. It isn't going to happen, plain and simple, we are going to allow the community with V4 as with previous versions show this. Streams using V3 are all over the web and available to anyone with an internet connection. Im positive V4 streams will populate the web very quickly......Apparently any claims we put forward are going to scrutinized by the community anyway so let people who aren't associated with development share their feelings, fair enough right?........ This is all funny, because I asked Jason to post some high altitude shots since I seen some community members asking for them, that's all this post is, now this thread has spiraled into what Ill call a HOT MESS...... Cameron's point is we are focused on development right now and want to ensure we put as much refinement into V4 prior to a release. Ill have the AI fly a heavy on one system while I develop and I'm keeping an eye on some of these issues that pop up, Ill post small snippets from time to time but I don't have the time to put together a long haul......The best you'll get out of us right now is we are happy with where the BETA is going.......Is that fair? Or should we waste more time making videos before the product is 100% ready? This could potentially lead to misconceptions as to what SMP offers, right? Im really puzzled by this continued dialog which has undertones of distrust, frankly I am getting sick of it since it isn't what we are about. None of us are getting rich off of this and speaking for myself SMP came about because I am an enthusiast and want a better overall experience for the XP community......
  13. Well if it were up to Marshall we will all be flying whats called P3D-Plane and HE will be happy. I am a bit concerned that your customer experience has been less then perfect for sure but some of your replies here are pretty harsh indeed. For one going after Frank and his abilities is downright rude and absolutely ridiculous...... I'm very curious as to what kind of background gives you the ability to make such rude comments? I see it very differently then you, and not because I am involved but Frank is an extremely talented and professional programmer. This is a completely different platform with a different set of rules and as we develop we are making progress with weather representation........Lets be direct we are not producing something and marketing it as anything else, comparing us to that particular Charlie Brown scene insinuates we are lying to you prior to purchase, and that is not the case in the least. We have our OWN vision and we are driving down our OWN path which is in turn influenced by our customers as we grow, onboard? No? that's OK My feelings are you're expecting something way out of line with what we are offering and just like any consumer look at all information we provide before you make a decision. If your expectations aren't met initially by all means vote with your wallet....
  14. Not really flying between cloud fronts but dipping into a break in the overcast as reported by the metar:
  15. We are pretty firm against this but never fear there are freeware options and I'm sure others will come along too.....Most notable is Ventura Sky.....
  16. Definitely optimized for XP11 .........Plus to override the default X-Plane haze you'd need to play with undocumented datarefs. This is not a good practice since LR can break them during any update.......
  17. Hey guys just a very quick and dirty vid I though looked cool....... Our 3D precipitation in action....
  18. No we don't have this implemented in V4, good suggestion though
  19. I wouldn't worry about these comments only meant to provoke and manipulate perceptions
  20. Start a support thread we'd be more than happy to help, along with the community too
  21. I don't have anything on hand right now but we've posted a bunch of shots at flight level.......
  22. We kept the default effects in place, personally I don't see the "all-in-one" approach as a good development model for innovation and support reasons. For instance including undocumented datarefs that adjust skycolors or atmospheric properties creates a nightmare when LR decides to change or remove them due to core changes in the simulation, remember RTH became broken in 10.51? Tony created and individually supports Ventura Sky, which brings a whole slew of great effects to SMP and XP, and as XP11 matures he can adjust his product to suit these changes total cost to the end user $0.....SMP has less of a chance of breaking during XP version runs because we play by the rules which equates to better support overall...... Sorry going of on a tangent here.....LOL
  23. Get a ppl..... Cheers, John
