"Well, SHIVER (brrrrrr) me timbers, mate....thar be snow upon the land....arrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.  About time, arrrrrrrrrrghhhh!"

Looks great!  John is doing amazing things for X-plane.

My graphics card is already getting nervous!

 

 

Normal Maps shouldn't be too much of a hit on FPS......  ;)

That's good news.  I just finished building a new computer, but still have my older GTX 560 - 1 GB.  It's doing pretty well, but I have turned off HDR to allow other nice things.  Other than lights at night, I don't miss it too much.  It would be nice if I could have video use some of my 16 GB of system DRAM!

When you can you won't be disappointed by the upgrade. I just went from a GTX580 1.5GB to a GTX770 4GB to help out with the 16GB of RAM I got a couple of months ago, and I can have HDR with good AA and many other settings very high. XP looks very nice indeed using the extra VRAM, even with my old i5.

Yeah, I would love to do that, but I went from an old i-5 to an i7-4770 with a new motherboard and a few other goodies and it made a tremendous difference.  The main problem - the wife doesn't understand that a 70 year old man needs new toys!

Strap her to the chair and make her watch an approach into Juneau with the HD Mesh and Skymaxx. She'll understand. If not, just strap her to a chair.

Let me throw up a few early SS's for you to enjoy........There are a ton of textures and even more .ter definitions to edit before we have a valid product.  Thank goodness I can partially automate some of the tasks.... :D

Does the snow have brown tint to it ? Or is it my monitor that is playing tricks on me ?

John / X-Aviation, are doing for X-Plane 10, what we really needed long ago!

 

Internally I know Austin, Ben, Tom, Philipp and others are also doing their best to bring X-Plane 10.30

 

Just yesterday Austin told me he will try to address, also for 10.30 if he finds the time slot to still do it, the long time ice accumulation logic bug / limitation.  We will get for 10.30 a revised

Ice Accumulation logic for our aircraft!!!! Whow!!!!

Jcomm, is Austin working on the torque bug ?

Jcomm, is Austin working on the torque bug ?

 

Yes!!!!!  He is after all !

 

I confess that after reading Ben's answers I felt disappointed, because Ben didn't address the questions that could suggest that indeed they'e still working on it, but

yesterday, thx to Alec, I was informed that indeed Austin is still at it.

 

Since Austin also ackonwledged the need for a more plausible icing simulation ( ice accumulation on aircraft surfaces, etc... ) and told me he would try to add it to 10.30 too, it continues to look as if 10.30 is probably going to be as important as the migration to the 64 bit version of X-Plane 10 :-)

This will only be a textures pack or it will contain a special plugin ?

 

 

Its going to be more then just a texture pack.......What direction we take is in the air, still working out those details  ;)

Does the snow have brown tint to it ? Or is it my monitor that is playing tricks on me ?

 

 

Probably seeing the shadows at play with the normal maps.......NM will be toned down in the final release......

Hi, looks good, but:-

 

Will it know if it's snowing. For example, in the UK the ground is still green/brown except when we have heavy snow. So will this product know that?

 

Thanks!

Ian
