- Des propos rassurants des développeurs de Flight : ce sera bien un simulateur. Quand à la ressemblance avec FSX, c'est normal car ils n'en sont qu'au début du développement :

As we said in the introduction, we’re still early in the development cycle, so the fact that you comment on the similarity to FSX is great! This comment alone should ease some of the arcade concerns. Please follow along with our progress as we continue to release more webisodes, screenshots, and additional information.

Le communiqué complet ici dans News.- Prepar3D, un FSX "Pro" développé à partir de ESP par des anciens d'Aces embauchés par Lockheed Martin, a maintenant son propre forum. Les développeurs y sont très actifs. Qui sait, une licence "développeur" (pas besoin de l'être, il suffit de l'envisager :() à 10$ par mois... ?Quelques mises à jour- Le L39 de Lotus Sim passe en version 1.35

Fixes/Improvements in this version:1. Landing lights have greatly improved smoothness when taking off or landing from the VC. No more ugly visible steps in brightness.2. Fixed a small rendering error that could potentially cause polygon flickering around the engine intakes on the external model. So far I've only seen this happen on Nvidia 400 series video cards.3. Disabled the landing light effect completely during daytime (since you can't see it anyway) to mitigate problems that they have with heavy fog when they're turned on. There is nothing I can do about similar problems at dawn and dusk in fog unfortunately, just an FSX limitation.4. Lotussim house colours and Breitling 2010 paint added to install.

C'est sur leur forum (il faut être enregistré)- Après de nombreuses betas, voici enfin la SP2 officielle pour ASE (Active Sky Evolution)

Service Pack 2:- Implemented new messaging IPC facilities for 3rd parties to access internal AS weather information (see README.rtf for details).- Implemented FSUIPC DWC data integration useful for programs like Radar Contact, so that RC ATIS reports will be accurate when using ASE’s DWC mode. Requires FSUIPC v4.633 or later (and WideClient v6.833 or later if using WideFS).- Implemented new FS9 communications for improved weather write performance and reduction of cloud clearing/shift events using the Suppression system.- Enabled automatic manipulation of suppression range to prevent FS9 cloud clearing in areas of fewer weather stations.- Enhanced visibility smoothing and graduation for more gradual and realistic clearing of visibility during climb and descents.- Added new weather depiction modes for FSX: Standard, Smooth Cloud Transitions and Direct Weather Control. Please see the section below on FSX Weather Depiction Modes for more information.- Added FSX local suppression system for use with the Standard depiction mode.- Added Ceiling Suppression feature (FS9 or FSX Standard Depiction Mode) to prevent write updates while airborne and BELOW the configured Suppression Ceiling. 2000ft is recommended for GA flights, 10000ft for Jet/Airliner flights.- Fixed problem with Hurricane depiction (FSX) where some valid hurricanes would not generate.- Fixed problem with potential duplicate Hurricanes (FSX) if source data was problematic.- Fixed problem with Visibility Graduation and Smoothing option where upper visibility may inherit surface visibility incorrectly.- Added new Graduation Ceiling option (used with Visibility Graduation and Smoothing) to specify the upper altitude where visibility should equal Maximum Upper Visibility. Specified in FT AGL, minimum 7000, maximum 90000.- Adjusted cloud selection processes for better selection of cloud types at higher altitude.- Tweaked terrain-based up and downdraft effects system for better results.- Fixed problem where FSX used without DWC mode could result in failure of weather to update properly after a location change.- Fixed problem of potential FS9 depiction issues if all cloud generation % option sliders were set to 0.- Fixed problem where Historical weather could result in invalid weather data during the 1st or last day of a month.- Fixed problem where Active date/time listed on user interface would not be correct if starting up in offline mode (without Automatic Downloads enabled).- Improved generation logic for CAVOK, NO Data and Cirrus Cloud Generation features to more closely match option % settings (i.e. 20% will now mean there is only a 20% chance of clouds being generated).- Redesigned the online license check and activation process to prevent re-activations when user changed network adapters, enabled/disabled wireless network adapters, plugged in USB drives or media, reformatted drives, or made other minor system changes. Users updating to SP2 will be required to perform a single re-activation (due to new identification processes) but this will only be required once after updating to SP2.- Fixed problem with Refresh AI Aircraft button not working to reset AI in FS9, possibly related to changes in newer versions of FSUIPC.- Fixed problem where ASE would not restart with last opened weather in online mode when the “Open” button was used.New FSX Weather Depiction Modes:ASE SP2 includes new selectable Weather Depiction Modes for FSX. The depiction mode is set via the General Options tab.Each mode has certain advantages and disadvantages. The user should look at the recommendations below and perhaps try all three modes before decided on the best one for their needs.StandardStandard weather depiction mode uses normal SimConnect station-based weather writes and supports Range Suppression to reduce visual cloud changes (shifts) within your local view range. Recommended for best accuracy and consistency of weather depiction. May result in simulation stutters/pauses during weather writes (supports write suppression ceiling to prevent updates below a certain altitude). Supports Local Range Suppression to prevent changes of weather in the local area, which could cause visual cloud shifting.Smooth Cloud TransitionsSmooth Cloud Transitions depiction mode uses enhanced SimConnect weather writes that supports transitional cloud depictions that change over a period of 30 seconds. May result in inconsistent weather parameters at locations other than departure area and in winds aloft. Recommended for short-range and local flights or where visual cloud smoothness is preferred over accuracy.Direct Weather ControlUses unique method of directly controlling ambient weather parameters resulting in the best balance of accuracy and smoothness of all weather especially aloft winds. May cause occasional S-Turning effect with with some 3rd party aircraft autopilot systems. Recommended for longer-range and airliner-style flights where winds aloft accuracy is important. Includes full real-time Wind, Visibility and Barometric Pressure Smoothing.Notes:The previously available option for Direct Wind Control has been eliminated for FSX mode. Activate DWC using the Direct Weather Control depiction mode.For FSX, the Visibility Smoothing and Graduation option is now only available when in Direct Weather Control depiction mode.Make sure you Apply/Save your option changes, followed by restarting ASE, to see new weather depiction modes properly take effect.

C'est disponible sur leur site- FTX : suite à la sortie de NA Blue Northern Rockie Mountains, voici la nouvelle bibliothèque d'objets, la Orbx Libraries 101205. Vous la trouverez là.Pour finir, 2 petites videos- Les premières images d'Ezca 2.0 montrant une nouvelle fonction en cours de développement : la modification du comportement de l'avion en fonction de la météo. Ezca sera, en plus des cameras, capable d'agir sur des objets (mais où s'arrêteront-ils ?)

Première apparition dans leur dernier addon : Bundaberg (YBUD), PeopleFlow sera bientôt dans Orcas Island (KORS). les premières images.Hervey Bay, Darrington et Concrete seront les suivants à bénéficier de cette technologieSympa, non ?

PeopleFlow ....J'ai l'air con moi, avec mes petits zoizos! :( Oui c'est très sympa.J'adore vraiment ORBX parce qu'ils ont du talent, ils sont novateurs et prolixes.Faut juste le budget pour suivre....Mille mercis pour cette revue des niouzes, excellente comme d'habitude. :(

Pour ma part je suis très heureux que Flight n'en soit qu'au début de son déveveloppement, ça va me laisser le temps de bien profiter de mon FSX que j'arrive aujourd'hui à faire fonctionner comme je le souhaitais depuis 4 ans. D'ici à ce que son successeur soit sur le marché il y a déjà bien de quoi faire, entre autre les territoires d'Orbx présents et à venir à explorer, et ça, c'est déjà plus que bien. Sur ces mots je file télécharger la nouvelle version du L-39.Alain

PeopleFlow ....J'ai l'air con moi, avec mes petits zoizos! :(

Mais non David, grâce à toi, on a le BirdiesFlow TM :(

Faut juste le budget pour suivre....

Oui, ça commence à douiller. Heureusement, ils intègreront aussi cette technologie aux "anciens" addons sous la forme de mises à jour gratuites :(
