Really lovin Jak's new textures

[zfehr 1]

Just got done with enough tiles to complete a few flights. These are much livelier than the base TS2 textures pulled off the FlyII program. Have a look...http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/104472.jpgThis is the coastal range between Newport and Hillsboro, Oregon. A beautiful area of the country and now even nicer than before in FlyII. Thank you Jak :)Zane

They look wonderful textures Zane. I just wish I had more hours in the day to try this out myself. Great job mate.[divalign=center]http://www.wrexhamspace.org/sig.jpg][/divMy Websitehttp://www.wrexhamspace.org

Thanks for posting all of these screen shots, Zane. I'm really glad that you're enjoying the new textures and it's great to see examples of how they look in flight.Jak Fearonhow in the world?http://www.howintheworld.com

I think they look great also! Actually read this forum often, but had a little "cookie" problem, I guess...:D L.Adamson

thank YOU Jak for releasing these great new textures.I just downloaded them and can't wait to give them a try.But what I can see from Chris's example they are looking just great :)Thank you Chris for posting the screenshot!Jak, just one more question. I remember that I have seen some brilliant sky textures from you as well a loooong time ago. (and still some in your gallery) Do you think it would be possible to release these textures too, maybe someday???I think this too would be also a big enhancement for FLYII as it is gettin' better all the time, thanks to all the wonderful folks here...Thanks again and take care,

It's like the "red" ruby shoes in Wizard of Oz. I could have gotten back anytime, if I had just known how!At least I think so.... :)L.Adamsonedit --- add a "n" to know(n)

We were decently underway with that but there was a bug in the Fly!II sky code that was causing us all sorts of problems (clouds cut off at the base when they reached a certain sizealtitude). We talked with TRI several times about it but the bug was never solved, so we never released the new skies. We gave it much thought but realized that we would end up getting more misplaced grief over that bug (from people assuming it was due to our work) than we wanted to deal with. As far as I recall the bug is not really noticeable at all in the stock Fly!II skies, so people definitely would have thought it was shoddy work on our part had it shown up in our new ones.So that's the answer... if we ever get back around to fiddling with them, perhaps we can solve the issue, but otherwise I'm sad to say it's a no go.Here's one of the skies in question, and you can see all of the shots we had available at one time here: http://howintheworld.com/screenshots/flyii/skies/http://howintheworld.com/screenshots/flyii/skies/5.jpgJak Fearonhow in the world?http://www.howintheworld.com

Jak,Those cloud screeenshots are superb.It's a great pity you weren't able to sort out the bug.

Jak,Considering the following of dedicated supporters that still use FlyII I'd like to see you release the sky textures and let us have a go at spearheading the bug issue as well. Who knows, one of us might come up with a fix. Don't think you'll be getting very much hate mail and we get to post some screenshots those MSFS dudes will be jealous of.Reconsider and let us have our hands on it :)Zane
