An healthy discussion is nothing to fear Harry, however these my be Anyway, back to topic.. I for one did not go the distance and bought the MAXXP as I did not see the value of it. Now I can try it for free and see what the fuzz is all about (yet anyway). But is it fare to say this is a piracy without any judgement in the case or just a freeware to be tried out, and if it is a true copy or something similar is it then cudos or hell no to the author, and why should one buy MAXXP when this is free? See my curiosity sirs? Where is the line of conduct here?

Made a new topic on the matter as this case interest me Ref. Curtisy of Aerosoft Sim News http://youtu.be/HicOCYi0iOI Kinda makes me wonder, is this pure code stealing or is it just someone with a similar idea that offers it away to the community for free. So whats up John, is this wrong or competition?

Strange, never noticed

What u got against xsquawkbox then

Open Graphics Library

Thanks Tony. I do think it will be usefull to have only one or two library installed, imo opensceneryx and your's. Less is actually better and it makes bug fixing and updating a less painful task. I am a fan of the plausible, but as mentioned before more fan of performance. Much can certainly be done on the facade side, but also in regards to texturing and polycount. Hight and shapes do play a part in performance and i do not think openstreetmap has a function to set such parameters? However it should do wonders to shapes and positions if one had better reference pictures to work with.

This building is there irl, but far from a square, and it is misplaced which may be an openstreet map issue. Here is the real picture, same angle. Notice the buildings behind is larger too Misplaced buildings in W2XP, placed on the railroad tracks (filled in, not present in OSM2XP) I could blame it on the program, but I rather think it is releated to Openstreetmap. I will try to do some error checking later on this day PS.. Not out to prove a point, just having a nice warm disqussion on the topic, as this is a discussion forum, i hope LOL.. Anyway.... Cause I just hate those damn ugly things, but with better GEOTIFS, who knows!!!

The quote is in regards to the Oslo pictures u posted. I use own generated OSM2XP latest OSM for Brussel. Have not tried W2XP here. But I do favour Performance over quantity and detail any day of the week.

Specs are Intel i7 3770K OC @ 4.6Ghz - Asus Sabertooth Z77, 16GM RAM 1866Mhz, Samsung PRO SSD and of course my beloved Nividia GTX 770 (not clocked) 4GB display card. Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit Downtown Brussel Edit: I see W2XP randomize the buildings way better than OSM2XP, but it also ads building that are not there IRL or in OSM2XP. But It does remove forrest where OSM2XP does not. So if you want variation, I do believe W2XP is better, though it seems to impact the user a bit more. I cannot say which is better as that is in the eye of the beholder and up to the individual using and tweaking it. But don't mistake my intentions, I do believe W2XP will be a great addition to the X-Plane community and I for one will follow it closely in the future So keep it up guys..

I do see your point, I guess the situation would be far more suited if the colorization changed with seasons, daylight and or weather. Though I do not believe you'd ever see black and white unless you got and horrible eye discease LOL.. Anyway GIMP or Art Weaver is free, MAXXP is not, but if you think about the developing aspect of this, we should welcome all payware products regardless of paying for it or not. Buying is optional using it is too! That said, as a former FS9 and FSX user I cannot remember how much money I spent on idiotic and wurthless programs that never get used. In fact I have bought for XP the 777 airliner, 757, Airbus Neo without ever flying them at all (need more spare time). But I do love looking at them and making repaints and other texture fixes while I wait. Kinda same goes for scenery, I do not use those crappy photosceneries but I do buy payware airports. And with companies like Aerosoft I hope to contribute to the making of more better and far greater looking sceneries for XP. So in retrospect, even though I do not own the MAXXP, I do not think 20 euros are that much just to tweak some coloring effects. (Hell I eat more candy and drink more soda in a week than MAXXP cost). I could buy the MAXXP just to get the warm summer grading seen in this film (excuse posting film if that is not allowed)

HD Mesh v2 is installed, so is Scandinavia v1.7 (OSM latest for the entire Norway made by OSM2XP), SkyMaxx PRO I do not use Photoscenery as they suck big time in quality (personal opinion), besides that these are all installed Openscenery X European Library R2 Library Fly With Lua Sea Traffic v. 030 AirTrack XPL HSAIR Treelines and farms over Europe v2 and lots of texture enhancements Point beeing, picture above was only to show that you can in fact get FPS readings above 50, not just over the pacific ocean. And yes, I do have mulitple facades going on and objects set to MAX, the FPS do drops down to 70-80ish over huge cities like i.e Oslo (would be strange if it didnt)

Awsome

Very nice, a bit long but viewable.What heli is it?

Regardless of ones opinion, I would say this is reasons for concern no matter where it was posted, and put a high five on Camerons statement

hmm

Just saying

Updated files is now free to download http://xp-developer.com/index.php?/files/category/9-code/ Whats new!! Added code by AUA425(avsim.net) as optional use (fixes the moon glare reported at night)Tried to correct the reported light issue with black lights on rotating beacons.Fixed the "Fly with lua crash" when using the light tweak I will be happy if someone can try them and report if the issues are continuing or not.

updated

Purhaps it just a cheep rip off or reason for consern? Anyway here is BLU-FX and from what I can see it does the same thing as the payware MAXXP http://bwravencl.de/files/x-plane/blu_fx.htm

Love the debugging here and the collobrative progress following, not sure if it helps but I have never had any form of CTD with SMP version 1.3 Setting will be posted here soon, on my ipad right now EDIT Here it is

Could not agree more

Just have to appologies to all english speaking members in here, togeather with my phone`s autocorrect (tends to switch to norwegian where to means two)so my english is not always correct. However I do know the difference between calling someone stupid and label something as stupid. Touchy people do not which is understandable. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Nothing condescending about stating that an belief or notion is stupid, just an opinon. And about the sliders, you stated it your self and I quote "what is the point in having settings at all" when you set it to maximum?

Thx for reminding me, will update tomorrow and add a new feature

To facts. 1: Comparing FSX clouds to X-PLANE is just silly 2: All the sliders to the right equals best graphics is plain stupid Happy easter everyone. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
