RFSB release Charleroi/Brussels-South (EBCI) for v4/v5

[Antonov22 161]

Scenery available on Simmarket:

Major hub for two major ULCC airlines, Ryanair & Wizzair.

Scenery looks good, however judging from available charts lacks the latest extension on the eastern side of the runway? (Maybe no satellite imagery available at the time of development, similar to Fsim Halifax and the cargo apron?)

Anyway great little airport for some short haul through Europe!

Great! I have been waiting for this one. Thanks for posting.

Looks like Simmarket has completely gone south regarding P3D. 

The guy doing the P3D installers is gone, so all sceneries come without installers now. 

Not a big problem of course, but it's remarkable.

Might not be such a bad thing with v6 not too far away. It would require a lot of work to add a v6 option. A straight copy / paste of the scenery is generally enough plus the same for scenery.cfg or the addon equivalent.

I'm sure we all know how to install manually and if not then there's plenty of help available here.

You are very optimistic regarding V6 scenery compatibility 🙂

With almost all developers disappeared we can only hope...

I try to be a half-full chap rather than half-empty. 😁 If scenery worked in v5 with the new terrain detail I’m hopeful v6 won’t break anything.

Hi Ray, without violating a possible DNA, can you provide any more info about V6, for example, are you 100% sure this will happen? 
Thanks

I’m not sure about anything Sherm. Just using logic based on previous versions. LM try to maintain backward compatibility.

Like you, I am unsure but hopeful. With that said, the whole question of v6 is about monetizing the product and nothing else. LM developed P3D as a military training tool. The “academic” version most of us enjoy is no doubt peanuts when factored into the company’s array of product and revenue stream. We will get v6 only if the accountants who make decisions see value. Or, it is possible a v6 will come along with only military application whose co development into a hobbyist product would jeopardize its security and primary intent as a military trainer.

Bravo to RFScenery Building for releasing a P3D product. If only RD Presets could have done the same with v2 of EHRD Rotterdam (and denying me the one airport in the entire world that I wanted more than anything in P3Dv4).

[Bob Scott 7,721]

I noted that the DME was missing on the ILS to rwy 24 at EBCI, and sent an e-mail to the developer.  The response was, "Perhaps.  The ILS is stock in the scenery."

That's why we buy add-on sceneries--to get outdated stock features.

Argh.

Just a quick update, that this recently released scenery is now on sale at Simmarket for just a bit over 17Euros which is good value given the quality of the airport if you dont mind editing the AFCAD to rectify the above mentioned issue with the ILS .

Also, apparently there is another update to come from the Developer since ECBI recently received a runway extension for Rwy 24. No mention of when this update will likely come but Developer mentioned they are waiting for updated satellite imagery to become available.

[Balint Szarka 123]

Any of you seeing that dynamic lights not lighting up PBR surfaces? Very strange... This would indicate that the developer isn't using the latest SDK as per info I could find in older forums posts. I would have gone to fix them but can't find the file in which DL's are stored... Anyone else seeing the same issue at night?

Heads up! V2 is now available, which includes the extended runway!

I didn't get any update notification, however the release of v2 for MSFS made me check the P3D release and it too mentions a v2 release.

Update is free BTW!

If you use the Simmarket App you'll get informet in the App.
