I believe that navaids for the entire world were included in the base Flight installation. Just no airports or landforms! Thankfully, Steve fixed that. Best regards. Luis

But, not a good enough reason for me, Tom! Best regards. Luis

Guys, scenery developers absolutely need to slew. There is no discussion possible. The process of accurately recreating parts of the world requires continuous checking of in-game display. We make scenery, launch the game, slew around to find faults, make modifications, and iterate endless number of times. Without slew, checking for errors or flaws becomes very difficult, mostly impossible. Since most scenery designers rarely if ever fly (except for me! I am the only exception. ), they don't care about their Profile (or the Logbook in past versions.) As for the rest of you, what does it really matter if some were to use slew in order to falsify their Profile? Many already did that with the Earth's Curvature Aerocache, and the world did not stop turning because of that. By the way, if recent problems have wiped out your Profile, you can easily recover. Windows keeps umpteen hundred previous versions available just in case, so simply find the directory with those files, right-click on each one, and choose to Restore Previous Version, or whatever it's called. Best regards. Luis "Bring back Slew!"

Oh yes, please, slew, my slew, I miss you so much. At least we can get out and walk around. But, slew would be so much better. Best regards. Luis

Just admit it - you too fly with the mouse. Best regards. Luis

That is so cool! I love his wings - like the pioneers of aviation. Another flying mouse Seem to be a lot of them associated with flight. Best regards. Luis

The Grand Case runway in St. Martin is short and challenging, Dick, but that is ridiculous. Looks like a great project, though. As soon as I put my computer back together, I'll see about comparing the lclookup for Flight and FS, and resolving the differences. Best regards. Luis (loves flying with a mouse!)

It's only an arcade game if you can shoot things, for example, birds! Best regards. Luis

My first task, Devon, once I get obligations to Steve and Dick out of the way, is to start converting my Caribbean projects, i.e. Virgins, Leeward, Windward, Cayman Islands, then move on from there. Flying in Hawai'i and Alaska has been very enjoyable, but they are not my part of the world. Best regards. Luis

Thanks to all, I am glad to be back with you guys. And thanks for the info on changes - I got Steve's latest toolkit installed yesterday and hope that Dick will show me how to do the whole world, like in his great screenshots! I really love that DJI Phanton Vision 2 Plus, Tom (whew! What a name.) And the GPS problem seems easy to fix with some kitchen foil. That gimbal does seem a little too easy to damage, worrisome. Not to mention that I would probably break it on the first flight - ouch! There goes a thousand bucks! By, the way, have you ever broken yours? Still, I really want it, maybe for my 50th birthday. No, wait, that was some years ago. So it is way overdue. Best to all. Luis

Almost 2 months out! No computer! (Well, maybe not a bad thing.) But, finally back and a need to celebrate. What would you do? A brewskie and sit back and watch the game? Not me! I went flying. Took the Mustang out for a spin, inverted of course, for the joy of it. I love this airplane! Finally, headed back for a landing. Gear down and locked, flaps extended, right on the glide slope, looking good. Parked on the apron right where she belongs. I have surely missed a lot, and need to catch up. I did connect to a Live server, but obviously no Aerocache, so I shall never get the 350. Also, have to see how Steve is doing with scenery conversion, that is very important. But, first some more flying. I was so desperate that I planned to buy one of those palm-sized quadcopters so that I could get my flying fix - probably still will get it because it looks like fun. But I am really happy to be back, hello to all, and thanks to Tom. Best regards. Luis

Thanks for the images, Steve. I have been busy and unable to fly for some time now. Not happy at all, but things should get better, for all of us!, soon. Best regards. Luis

Very strange! We need more tailwinds like that one! Best regards. Luis

I hope that the support guys make all 350 Aerocaches into permanent ones before they shut down. A big list, but a great legacy and an opportunity for all fans to get the totality. Best regards. Luis

Great job, Paul, installing ASAP! Best regards. Luis

The easier these things become, the more people will actively participate. We are not all code writers. And that was the whole point of the Flight SDK tools, by the way. Best regards. Luis

I imagine that your list is complete, but I probably messed something up and "accidentally" deleted some objects when creating the SBuilder lists. As I said, users should watch for that and I shall try to make a corrected version available as soon as I can. But, in the meantime, most of the useful objects should be in the lists. Sorry! Best regards. Luis

Hi Paul, As you found, this is not a complete list of all default objects. I still must compare to a previous, partially-compiled list, but it appears that it must all be done again. Caveats to any user, but on the other hand, it is a very good start and probably contains most of the useful objects. Yes, I had started placing some of the objects in order to get screenshots, but even limiting that project to generic and autogen objects would take too much time. Oh! if only one of Arno's tools could load each object, display it, and take a picture. Best regards. Luis

Hi Paul, I was given that list of default objects as extracted with the said tool. Here are the lists formatted for use in SBuilderX: http://1drv.ms/1vRjLMw Place them in the LibObjects directory in SBuilderX. Be sure to add the following to your objects.txt: include=Flight_Landmarks_Hawaii.txt include=Flight_Landmarks_Alaska.txt include=Flight_Vehicles_Air.txt include=Flight_Vehicles_Airport.txt include=Flight_Vehicles_Autogen.txt include=Flight_Vehicles_Land.txt include=Flight_Vehicles_Water.txt include=Flight_Buildings_Autogen.txt include=Flight_Buildings_Generic.txt include=Flight_Autogen.txt include=Flight_airport_objects.txt include=Flight_NaturalObjects.txt include=Flight_Generic.txt include=Flight_Hazards.txt include=Flight_MissionObjects.txt include=Flight_Procedural.txt include=Flight_TempContent.txt Here is the list as given to me: http://1drv.ms/1vRjBF7 There are about 900 default objects in this list, but alas! no floatplanes. I haven't seen Steve's irrigator in the lists either, yet, so I am not certain that they are complete. Best regards. Luis

Some hint! Best regards. Luis

Really cool! Best regards. Luis

I always thought it was the perfect airplane, but that market (Florida) is already saturated and there are other seaplanes for a lot less money. And this recreational plane would probably not have a lot of takers in Alaska, and those are, I think, the only two seaplane markets in all the world. Icon claims over a thousand delivery positions, but those are just fully-refundable $5000 deposits. How many will now decide to shell out the remaining $200 000? I have a hard time believing it will be a lot, given what has happened to the economy in the last few years. But, I wish Icon a lot of luck and hope it works out for them. I, too, had noticed the inoperational overhead panel, but missed the parachute deployment lever. Got to check that out. Best regards. Luis

Great pics, Steve, thanks. Did you happen to notice if the Icon had flaps or folding wings? Best regards. Luis

Fabulous images, Steve, thanks very much for sharing. Looks like a great time in Alaska. As the other Steve mentioned, but did not clarify, Microsoft Game Studio and the Flight devs would probably have been delighted to include Beavers and Cessnas with floats, and also eventually Boeing jetliners, but all those people demand large royalties, particularly when a large corporation like M$FT is involved. The aircraft in the game are from more accomodating companies, or royalty free. Best regards. Luis

I, too, had this problem. Thank you, Paul, I shall try your solution. Best regards. Luis
