Good news gents. Been in contact with Devinci who put out KSANX and he has confirmed that his scenery is now DX10 ready to go. He stated he wanted to test some more this weekend, and its Sunday so hopefully we will have an update very soon. This airport is the only airport in my very large library, scenery made by everybody, that AddonC would crash on. So one of my favs will be flyable again. Yay.

Updated KSANX On its way. Won't be able to test it until Tuesday but progressed had been made. Next stop is FDST to see if the can help. Their landing lights are perfect. Fingers crossed.

Would be useful to know what they've had to do to make the scenery DX10 compatible as this could help us fix other airports that don't work/partially work in DX10.

Just got a PM from him this morning. Ill share when I'm on my laptop.

Cheers :smile:

Ok, KSANX looks great!! Now DX10 Compatiable. I'm not a programer just a tester and Sagga did a great job. Still very dim runway lights on approach, but what is new with DX10. On the runway they look great!!

 

Sagga and I have been going back and forth with different files, so when he is ready, Im sure we will see an update very very soon. but here is a taste.

Coupla questions, Brett.... KSAN by FT was one of my top two airports and approaches.."back in the day"

 

1). Are the tall buildings under the approach supplied by DeVinci, or are they default, or from a different source.

 

2). In pic 5 the buildings to the immediate left are all flat photo scenery. Are there to be any 3d buildings on top of that?

 

3). Please - say that Sagga is going to "weather" the apron markings. Those bright, yellow lines in pic 2 look as though they were just painted 5 minutes ago. This attention to fine realism is what sets FT and FSDT above most other addon developers.

 

Thanks,

Good questions Paul,

FT was great KSAN scenery and like you one of my tops, but FT did not make another for FSX (huge mistake on their part) so I stumbled on Davinci KSANX. Now, he has two versions, photoreal and standard.

I can not be sure about the tall buildings on the approach, but to me, they look default (autogen), whith that said, that does not mean those are not part of his scenery,looking in his scenery file, I see 3 bldg files, one autogen.bgl, and 2 bldgs placement bgl's. Im no scenery guru, but the autogen I believe answers our questions, and the placements tells fsx where to place them.

On the photoreal scenery, I was not a fan of it prior to DX10, and to be honest I can not remember if it replaced the flat buildings your were talking about on the west side of the airport.

And your 3rd question. Weathering the appropns, I agree, looks like fresh paint, but beats the hell out of the default. I can not speak for Sagga, but we have developed a good working realtionship. I wonder tho if MAYBE AS2012 or REX can weather the lines.....looks like more testing. Just FYI, I have a very powerful Laptop with FSX on it and that is where I do all my testing before moving it to my FSX desktop, try before you buy kind of thing, so let me do some more testing and add some textures and lets see what we get. Fair.

Also Paul, for SOCAL, I have UTX,GEX,MegasceneryX and now USCitiesX LAX,(but USCXLAX does not reach SAN) but megascenery does, and a side not, I do not have any of those installed on my laptop, just your default FSX for scenery testing....I know I know, it needs to all be on there for a true test, I'll get to it. So with that being said, I am going to put the new KSANX on my desktop and see the difference with those addons. Side note, as of today, no option for photoreal KSANX for DX10...FYI.

 

K, long winded sorry, but hoped I answered your questions, off to photoshop land to TRY and make a cool banner for FSX in DX10 wish me luck!! Oh yeah, trying to get my wife and iPhone 5 today....yeah right, I stood in line to get mine for 45 minutes and had a blast with the other folks, but her 4S fell out of her pocket and shattered.....so yeah.....I'm sure we will find one today :blink: , one apple store in STL is getting a shipment at noon, and if you knew my wife, trust me, you would give her what she wanted to get her out of her store.... :lol: :lol:

 

Later
