Yeah, really hate this copyright issues. Well, but anyway can you please send it to me? Or is there a web site where i can get it? Haven't found it after a good search. Actually that's whats killing XP10 to me. Im used to fly in FSX some VFR flights, and even when not VFR, i like when im close to the airport and see the city texture around the airport. It was very good in FSX, there was a lot of scenery for my country, a lot of cities with very good scenery, guess 99% of them were made using Google Maps, not sure if there wasn't corpyright issues or just people don't care, anyway all of them were free to download, many of them good quality addons. This scenery creation in XP is killing my XP experience, while i want to completely move to XP10 i see that i always go back to FSX to fly the areas close to my home. Wed looks very good and easy to use, but since i can't find good satellite images from government websites the only maps i could use are the Yahoo/Bing/Google ones, but i can't find a way to get them to the Sim. Also tried GMaps for X-Plane, but haven't found a way to make it run on Windows. If someone can help, please!

Yes, just did a quick look and it shows the areas here, but whats the difference? Are Bing images free to use? No copyright issues? Actually my problem is that i don't have G2XPL and don't know where to get it. And i can't found good ortophotos of my country, the only good satellite images are these ones from Google/Yahoo/Bing.

I can't say anything of both 777, but i own C-130 from Captain Sim and it is one of the best planes, if not the best i ever bought. Sadly there's no version for XP10 (at least i haven't heard of it), but if their 777 have the same quality as the C-130, then Captain Sim have my vote.

Looks good. Does it include a 3D cockpit?

I hate copyrights. You can use the maps in your PC using their software, you can use it on your phone, but you cannot use it on your flight sim. Really hate this. Anyway, i don't care, so.... Sorry to ask but is there a way to download G2XPL? To my understanding, it downloads images from Gmaps right? Im trying to build my first airport, but i live in Brazil, can't find good satellite (Geotiff) images, but Google Earth is very good for it. I had a lot of scenery on FSX, all with images from GMaps, and actually flying VFR i miss them a lot. And before i forgot, one more incredible bad behaviour from mods on the ORG, worst site ever, most mods and the owner live on hard days, looks like they are angry every time, everything that was not written by one of them is wrong. By the way, looking at your post, their message shows a strongly childsh behaviour and they are totally unprofessional. At least Laminar has nothing to do with that annoying dictator aspirant kids.

Just installed WED today, i hope some day i can have 20% of your knowledge on scenery creation!! Its great to see that this is going forward, now with these screenshots i have big expectations. Looks awesome, its great on a dry surface, on wet surfaces i think it will look even better. Thanks for sharing this images, awesome job!!!!!

Good to know that! Thanks for the plugin, i already have it here, but it isn't installed. I haven't installed any plugins yet because im using only the 64bit version, so im not aware of what might work or don't. I'll try the plugin! About the cycle views between shift-1 to shift-8 shouldn't work the say way it works for the num0-num9? I don't have a clue on how to create a plugin, never even read about it, but lets say, trying to "imagine" how it works, i think a simple way would be to just use one button that could be pressed and it follows: Press it sends command = shift+1 / press it again sends command = shift + 2. And another one for previous. Maybe the tricky part is that the plugin needs to be aware of your current view, so it doesn't start always with "w" or "shift+1", but it knows that you are on circle view (shift+4 if im not wrong) so next it will "press" shift+5 and prev will be shift+3. Well, haven't even installed the plugin yet, maybe it already does something like this and trying to figure how to make one

Not sure if it is because i used the "repair" before updating (update wasn't working), but when i updated something that was bothering me was fixed. I was having a hard time to slow down my aircraft, flying straing, climb 0, idle power and still constant speed, losing speed very slowly, now its working, so probably was wrong with mine and now its working good. Can't say anything about performance, not sure i have noticed any difference.

Wow, i wasn't aware that people still uses Internet Explorer. Have you tried Google Chrome or Firefox? Using Chrome on Win 7 and the forum works 100% here.

Nice video! Can't understand why X-Plane doesn't render the sound on longer distances when you are watching from the Tower, would be much better. Really nice video

Sorry about me being so dumb, but where exactly i should ask that as a feature? In FSX as i remember i could use 2 or 4 buttons to switch the cameras. It was something like: 1 button: Next view = - Cockpit > Outside (Circle) > Tower > Chase plane > Other chase cameras if available 1 button: Next view in category = Cycle 3D cockpit cameras. (Also cycle other cameras when outside the aircraft, but i used mainly on the 3D cockpit) And if you want you could use 2 buttons as the same above, but instead of next, previous. That way was good because i was just using 2 buttons exactly as above. X-Plane have a lot of views, but imho the only problem is the way to select them, too much buttons on the joystick. And i like to map all the buttons i can so i can avoid using the keyboard while flying. Great news about the runways! Looking forward to it, would love to see it working! It already looks much better with the new textures, but with reflection, thats another story, just awesome. Thanks!!!!

Does anyone knows a way to switch cameras using only 1 button? Comming from FSX this is something that's bothering me. Having a button for each camera is good, but when trying to configure my joystick its bad, a waste of buttons. Since i use the same joystick (X52) for X-Plane, im trying to map the same functions to make it easier for me. I really would love to use just 2 camera buttons, one to cycle some external views, the other to cycle the quick-look (num0-num9) views. For now im using around 12 joystick buttons for this. 1 hat = num 1 - num 8. 1 button = Num 0 (my default view on every aircraft, changed position of the 3D cockpit view to my liking) / Shifted = 3D command look 1 button = circle cam / Shifted = Tower view So if anyone knows a way to change this, a simple way to change some views without having to map so many buttons. Please help!

That's something that was bothering me on XP10, the zoom out is not enough and Fov wasn't helping either, but since i only fly using the 3D cockpit, using "," to move the camera back, helped a lot. Not sure if this works on XP9

Thats bad to hear. One of my worst fears with my PC is to turn it on and then notice i got a corruption in my Windows installation. Hope you find an easy way to fix it!! And looks like you already learned Portuguese! You're welcome.
