"Addon" for Aerosoft Airbus X

[swiesma 625]

Hey guys,

 

sorry, I know this may not be the right subforum.

But as there is no Aerosoft forum.....

 

I'd like to point your eyes to a thread in the Aerosoft forum.

Emanuel created a nice texture pack for the Bus!

I already installed it and it is really good. I saw it "by accident" looking for a Swiss livery.

 

I hope you guys enjoy it. Emanuel gives it away for free but asks for a little donation.

The hard work should be honored.

 

Best regards,

Stefan

Really nice work, resolution wise. :smile:

 

...although personally I wish he'd darkened the panels too, as they still look a little washed out, colour-wise, to me.

Looks like they re-worked a previous incarnation of the HD texturing, which had a similar issue with lighting, whereby at night, when you wanted to turn on the panel lights, the overheads came on as well, completely lighting up the flightdeck.  I may have to give this one a try.

Not trying to be rude but without before and after shots, I can't really see any difference? I thought the Airbus X looked fantastic inside 'out of the box'.

I guess some folks weren't happy with the resolution of the panels when you zoomed in on the dust.

 

Jokes aside, I'd agree with you that out of the box, the texturing is done well.  I've used a previous version of the textures and I can say where the difference is seen is at night, when the nightlighting is activated.  Problem with that is that you get all of the lights on, which I never understood why Aerosoft didn't opt to separate out the light functionality, aside from the Airbus Config function of choosing day and night.

They do look nice but 100-150MB of VAS is worth fighting for.  LOL.  I'd never make it in to KSFO.

I am playing on 4K and the difference is HUGE.

Well, noone needs to install it. I think it is a great addon which comes basically for free.

Emmanuel is also working on 4096 textures as you can see in this thread: http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/96160-4096px-hd-virtual-cockpit-preview/&page=1

This thread is from last year, but be it as it may, Emmanuel did state in a recent post, that he's still moving forward with even higher res textures.

[nealmac 260]

Yeah true, he's been at it for a while now to be fair, but yeah, he's still planning on releasing at some point.
