sorry. Wish it was true! Or is it a good guess? Who knows

oh Gawd, I thought one would bite my bate!

rush, I'm sure Eric will reply, but I personally use photosceneryx a fair bit (g2xpl) and it actually runs smoother. That's coz u tend to remove things like trees, so the scenery looks natural. This is a fun rockin vid I did recently, shows my backyard of healesville Victoria and how smooth it goes. RockSugar Rocks! All u devs crank it up when u are on a roll! Best $16 I spent

Hi Eric, tonight I downloaded your Nevada demo. I've forgotten- will your norcal scenery be significantly higher res than the state packs? I hope so, as I prefer to fly at 2500 to 3500. Just want to know so I can buy as soon as available:-)

Thanks for the update Javier. We all understand. Something this complex takes more time to get right

!!!!!!!!! Now ur teasing!

just checked in with Heinz, u hear it first- aiming for mid-June, give or take a few days :-) haha, same release date as crj, give or take a few days :-)))

thanks Goran, and Wow. A strange feeling this end too, seeing her alive and up close after those months of stills. The texturing really is outstanding, esp. That carpet. And this was a real quickie, first flight, filmed in 5 mins and edited in same. Forgot to turn comms and nav on. Hope u liked the song, listen to the lyrics...

Read my YouTube notes for more details. Thankyou Goran and Theo, it really looks great on video.

Truly amazing Eric! Now get that darned Norcal out. A very expensive month for me..

Great Goran, very responsive ;D

have to admit that they do seem a little fuzzy to me too, but not if I sit close enough, in the right position. Sorry, but nothing's as crisp as the Falco, yet. Oh, I still couldn't keep the engine going! But trial and error fixed it, I have so many plugins. Culprit was the AN-2 plugin (whoops, spilt the beans on what we are reviewing next?)

Thanks Goran, wow so detailed. Carbys, reminds me of my old Ford Escort...with retreads. Will try again on Sat, when I'm permitted >

Got it, but at great cost, wife tore strips off me for getting on pc on a weeknight! Seats look great! Do u need 9.5, coz the engine kept cutting off?

that was a deliberate joke Batman!

Yes congrats again Goran (and Robin, your trusty texturer). $25 sounds great, when I get to my pc, I'll be buying. An investment in you, a downpayment for the 742!

thanks! Agree, can't wait for mu2/2 (nice ring to that). Mu was my second payware, after the seamax. Smanschot- don't know why PDF, be kind I'm only doin this at nights and still learnin. I'll get the text embedded into the blog.... Ta

Agree, why can't we be positive on both sides? I've seen negative comments at both sides of the fence, yet I'm clearly objective and don't have any allegiances. Different planes for different markets I say. I admire all developers for their skills and hard work, and recognise that some (and their collaborators) are more talented/technically proficient than others. Some are clearly new, so we wouldn't want to discourage a future Javier or Tom or nils from giving it a go. I am a little over the org rant, I just want u guys to do your best and let the market do its work. That's what our blog is about, to celebrate our sim and community, positively.

Hi Everyone, Tom provided some great responses to our questions for our new Xplane'10' blog, hope you enjoy Tom's detailed responses. Thanks again Tom! Looking forward to featuring more devs over time. Simon http://xplane10.wordpress.com/x-plane-developer-interviews/tom-kyler/

I was very pleased to be asked to do this for Heinz, my first taste of a Beta! After a couple of landings, you 'll see why I decided to highlight the wingflex. My pushing the limits, of course exposed a flaw in the wing physics, which he's fixed pretty well in a short period of time.

From a post Heinz made today. Not a given price, but "much higher than my other planes" means it will be fairly upwards of 15-20 dollars. Not sure how much "much higher" is, but I'll guess we'll find out in a week. Hi, as I filmed the last video for Heinz, I can talk without divulging too much. I think it will be a reasonable price, and I myself was really pleased with the flight dynamics (despite the wings bouncing the wrong way, he's already fixed that). Quite a challenge to land smoothly and a cool power to weight ratio with an empty bird. No, the cockpit is not photorealistic, but a huge leap for Heinz, he's doing his best. Latest vid here, I'll post it to the vid page. Enjoyed making this one!

OMG Hawaii!! The fantastic clarity of norcal but with the magnificence of hawaiis vistas and coasts. Inspired choice.

Hi Everyone, just letting you all know that Chip and I have created a new xplane review and interview blog, as well as a home. & backround to my videos. Tom Kyler is the inaugural interviewee, providing some impressive answers to our probing and invasive questions :-) http://xplane10.wordpress.com/ I also thought it worth providing some other Xplane links I've been enjoying: The fsbreak xplane discussion forum http://www.fszone.org/forums/forum/76-x-plane-specific/ Flightsimulator network xplane group, Chip and I have been major contributors and Goran has posted some good replies to member questions re. his projects http://www.flightsimulatornetwork.com/group/xplane Simon

Thanks Md! Can't wait for Norcal! That, Rex and xa planes, a killer combo

Looks great Mdmx, what's it like at a lower alt? Piccie please! Ur tempting me
