Prepar3D v2.5 Development Update

[shivers9 1,174]

 

 

I do plan to enter the "commercial" market when a P3D 64bit product is released and there is an SDK available. Until then I listen, watch, and learn.

Rob....Please tell me that you are going to do a better ATC program for P3D!!!!

Please tell me that you are going to do a better ATC program for P3D!

 

My first project would NOT be something that difficult ... an ATC project is not something I could do alone.  Besides there are ATC products that exist today which already have a huge head start and going into competition with them for such a small market wouldn't be a wise business decision.

 

My first product would be something that just about everyone would want, it would be priced relatively cheap (think $5) so as to gauge market size.

 

Cheers, Rob.

Sounds like you already have a good idea what it will be Rob! K

Rob, do you take pre-orders?

 

Kind regards, Michael

Hint hint? Ahh... Speedometer!

Love the way he used the word "gauge"  ! :Whistle:

[Guest]

Yes "gauge", 0 - 4 Million ... I hope the tank gets above Empty.

 

Cheers, Rob.

You lost me? 

 

With this setting enabled in v2.5 I can cycle views and they WILL NOT be blurry (I don't have to wait for them to resolve textures).  I must not be communicating well, sounds like I need to do a video showing the difference

 

Cheers, Rob.

I'm just telling you what the entry does in 2.4 for me. Without it, when I change views, P3d loads all the high resolution ground textures and autogen with a small delay, but its not instantaneous. With it included, P3d does not load any high resolution textures at all, no matter how long that I wait for it to "catch up".

I know it! You will able to do rain on windshield!! :im Not Worthy: :im Not Worthy:

No, he'll provide a transparent ATC gauge. I'd certainly pay 5 $ for it.

You just need to try the JS41!

[AUA425 130]

You just need to try the JS41!

yes, that´s fine

->> but this would be a veeeeery nice feature also for A320, B737, B777, Dash8-400...............and every other P3D V2 plane and by the way in the year 2015 -> "a must have" for a simulation -> and would increase the immersion dramatically (windshield rain, snow and ice effects, including the ground effects)  :wub:  :wub:  :im Not Worthy:  :im Not Worthy:  :im Not Worthy:

That s really cool Rob. I'm looking forward to hearing more about the project when you are ready to go public with it. I'm also a developer. I've been working more on smartphone apps and AR, but I've been working with the latest Prepar3D SDK to make a Kinect v2 add-on. I posted a super rough version up in the Prepar3D forums. Since then I've been trying to smooth out the incredibly noisey head data that comes from the Kinect. The SDK and PDK are nice to work with. Have you used the current SDK much?

Restating this ... 64bit being the key.

I've used it "some" - but not  the PDK.  There are definitely some things in the SDK that don't work as advertised and cumbersome to use.  Discovery is a rather lengthy process of trial and error and any clues I pick up from others along the way.

 

 

 

No, he'll provide a transparent ATC gauge.

 

I'm surprised at how many folks want that ... but I listen, read, try, watch, learn.

 

Cheers, Rob
