November 30, 201312 yr Go see it!!! Here: http://www.flightgear.org/info/a-preview-of-features-for-flightgear-3-0/ What a en of the year for the simmers ... DCS World, still a great flight simulation platform, IMO with the best flight dynamics ever developed for a PC! X-Plane10 getting SUPERB! P3Dv2 released and with promising future! FSX can still be used at nowadays standards thanks to Steve and his DX10 Fixer IL2 Sturmovik BOS early beta released! FG3.0 announced, and with new remarkable features!!! I only dream of two more: ELITE announcing v9 with P3D visuals and Aerowinx releasing PSX ( the new best ever PC-based 744 sim...)

November 30, 201312 yr But what about your favourite simulator DCS:World Jcomm??? how could you forget that? Lol. Flightgear 3.0 certainly looks very impressive.

December 2, 201312 yr Commercial Member Much better looking than the prior version. Looking forward to seeing more. REX AccuSeason Developer REX Simulations
December 2, 201312 yr Commercial Member Thanks jcomm. Looks nicely improved. The scenery was definitely the most ugly aspect. Curious about the photoscenery... Now, that I've a high speed connection, I might try in the next days: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Scripted_Compilation_on_Linux_Debian/Ubuntu
December 2, 201312 yr Author Hi Cyber, yes, there are even ideas the crew at LR could adopt in as far as seasonal textures implementation goes :-) I will wait for the Windows version though...

December 2, 201312 yr Commercial Member For me Windows is obsolete. Out of the box version 2.99. I haven't figured yet the photoscenery settings:
December 2, 201312 yr Author Looking great! The aircraft model too :-) Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
December 3, 201312 yr Commercial Member Do either of you guys understand how the following might work: Phototexturing using osgEarth Explore the scenery textured by aerial imagery! An experimental implementation of generic phototextured terrain using osgEarth is now on the way and might make it into the 3.0 release. Once enabled, osgEarth renders the terrain scene by building the textured geometry at runtime from raw source imagery and elevation data. The input data can come from a variety of sources including web mapping services or local source data (e.g. geotiff) stored on disk. This feature is runtime-switchable from the default scenery rendering. I am confused. I don't know if that means it will work like Tileproxy or something else. Any thoughts?

December 3, 201312 yr Author I'm affraid I can't be of any help here ... :-/ j.c.monteiro Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
December 4, 201312 yr Commercial Member Photoscenery is not yet in 2.99, I'll have a look at that later. Now I've started to convert my swiss sceneries as 2.99 supports apt.dat format 850. :wub:
December 4, 201312 yr Commercial Member Any ideas on what the resolution might be for v3.0? Meaning something along the lines of 4.8m/pixel or 1.2m per pixel. REX AccuSeason Developer REX Simulations
December 26, 201312 yr Commercial Member I've just compiled it on 2.99, but it still needs work. Looks much like google (x-plane g2xpl) sceneries from simheaven, without trying the high res yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oe0kHoEtvYA
