November 1, 201213 yr I'd like to give a big thanks to those who have purchased ILM. For those who haven't, buy it I'm currently working an update to KILM. We've addressed a few glitches and got some bugs resolved. 4K textures have been added to increase the resolution of a few objects. More vegetation is being added as well as an array of 3d objects to increase the realism. I can't give an exact timeframe for release of the update but I hope to have it done in the next 2-4 weeks. WED is being a huge pain in the &@($* right now and it takes me twice as long to get things done. As far as upcoming projects, I've started work on another "boutique" airport just up the coast from Wilmington. It presents a few challenges. X-Plane renders coastlines and islands like crap so I'm going to cut a new mesh as well as include additional orthoimagery. This should add a lot to the overall detail to the scenery. Moving forward, I hope to include a much larger area of imagery for every airport. The deciding factor in most cases is cost and availability. Good, leaf on, green grass, high resolution imagery ain't cheap. I've also put into motion the start of the Florida Keys. I still have a few things to work out but the plan at this point is offer high resolution scenery for Key West International, Key Largo and Marathon. I'm hoping to have the entire chain of islands covered by high resolution imagery. I'm very excited about this because the imagery is beautiful and crisp. But again, because of the default mesh, I'll have to cut a new one and it's not very fun to do That's all for now. DD drawbridge designs
June 10, 201312 yr Nice to see the addition of vendor forums, and here's hoping this helps bring attention both to your work and to X-Plane as a whole! I'd like to mention, however, that I believe there's going to be a new cut of the terrain geometry released as an official update in the near future by Laminar. You might want to get in touch with them to see if they have any details before you devote too much time to making your own. Wouldn't want to see you run into a major problem with that after the update finally comes down. Cheers!
