Hi Cai. Packs will be ready to be mounted from next Monday, when the necessary data will be ready to be used at Simmarket. The instructions on how to build the packs will be present on each airport's page there. Any doubts or problem doing so, please just email us: tropicalsim@gmail.com My best regards, Carlos Pereira. www.tropicalsim.com

Dear Friends! As we have been posting here for a good time about our plans, and considering the fact we have too many users among AVSIM, we ask permission to post here a official note that may interest our users. Thanks for the receptiveness we have always had in this community! My best regards, Carlos Pereira. www.tropicalsim.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For our loyal users. Tropicalsim has been offering special promos and discounts for almost a year from now, in some kind of regular schedule, generally at each month's end, as we got a very nice response from you to this kind of approach from the beginning. For all this time, we've been listening your feedback and suggestions very carefully. Many of you had contacted us. In fact, too many of you to be precise. Your ideas were seriously evaluated and considered here in order to make us still offer the best we can to you. This is the result of all this. From now on, Tropicalsim will be offering no more of this special promos that lasts only a few days every single month. Instead, we have decided to lower the prices of all our products in a solid and permanent way. Yes, this is true! All Tropicalsim airports are between 25% and 30% cheaper on average. The new values are already effective as you are reading this statement. Prices were not just reduced. We've aligned our airports into four main price categories, regarding their size/type to make all the search/order process easier, fairer and faster. Another measure we have taken: those special closed bundles we used to offer (15 Caribbean Airports, 13 European Airports, 32 FSX Airports, ABC Islands among others) are gone. On their place you will be able to mount your own special packs enjoying progressive discounts as you do so. Choose the airports you want, and each one added ensures a higher discount to your final order price. This is what we, at Tropicalsim, are doing. Listening to our users, making your wishes come true and letting you satisfied, the best way we can. We are serving you all for 10 years, and we intend to serve even better the next 10. Have nice flights! www.tropicalsim.com

Hi. It's been a loooooooong road since our first release October 2nd 2002. It was the Intl' airport of the city of Manaus in Brazil, in the heart of the amazon for FS2002. Over one hundred and thirty airports later, here we are... FS2002 is long gone but FS2004 is still going, FSX is the "current one" and X-Plane 10 appears to be "the next one". To thank all our customers and the FS community as a whole we have a very special offer this month, with 40% off an ALL TropicalSim items. This is your last chance of the year to get a 40% discount, so take it while you can. It's our birthday, but the present is yours. Thanks everyone for the past 10 years. It's been a great ride and we would not have done it any other way. See all the products on offer here: http://secure.simmar...opicalsim.mhtml Our best regards, Carlos Pereira & Leandro Machado. www.tropicalsim.com

Hi. Our KDCA is confirmed to be present on the most recent AES release. It took some time to be available as Oliver (AES) was out on vacations. Thanks for the nice comments about the scenery. I hope you have great flights! Any problem or doubts, please just email us. My best regards, Carlos Pereira. www.tropicalsim.com

Hi. We are offering 30% off on any of our airports or bundles, except for brand new KDCA. http://secure.simmar...opicalsim.mhtml This offer ends by April 30th. My best regards, Carlos Pereira. www.tropicalsim.com

Hi Jacoba, how are you? Please allow me to correct you. No, you don't have to add up all those sceneries to have them. We have some bundles at very, very, very special values exactly for those users wanting to get a huge number of airports at once. You told about EUR 574.15 but, in fact, the bundle containing all those sceneries (Tropicalsim - Caribbean 13 FSX Airports Pack) is priced at just EUR 60,99 but may be ordered for only EUR 42,69 until April 30th, as we are currently offering 30% off on any airport or bundle, except KDCA. You can confirm it here: http://secure.simmar...-fsx-pack.phtml As you can see, there is a huge difference between EUR 574,15 and EUR 42,69 for 13 FSX airports. Our bigger bundle, Tropicalsim 32 FSX Airports Pack, where you can add 32 airports to you FSX or/and FS9 at once, is almost 4 times cheaper than the value you mentioned, as it can be ordered for just EUR 112,00. That means a price of just EUR 3,50 for each airport. Nowhere on the web you would found a price per airport like this. Hope I had solved your doubts about that. If you need any tips on this, please just email us at: tropicalsim@gmail.com My best regards, Carlos Pereira. www.tropicalsim.com

Hi :smile:We have already sent KDCA files for AES, just after it's release.Oliver (AES) received them and will work on KDCA as soon as he cames back from holidays, as he told us.So, a matter of time to have AES @ KDCA.My best regards,Carlos Pereira.www.tropicalsim.com

I'm sure you will enjoy and have nice flights.Any problem or doubt, just email us.My best,Carlos Pereira.www.tropicalsim.com

Hi Ron.Removing the file I've mentioned will only delet the surrounding area and our autogen, exactly the way you want.The airport ground itself (our groundwork), with ramps, taxiways, runways, lightning, lines, parking marks, etc will remain there. Just our airport will be over your UTX/GEX.The same way we started doing European airports some time ago, we are looking at North America very carefully. He have already done Daytona Beach/KDAB and we have plans to do other airports there for sure.My best regards,Carlos Pereira.www.tropicalsim.com

Hi Ron, how are you?Of course you can do this.All you have to do is remove a file, that we have named for this purpose:- kdcax_phototerrain_fs9.bgl if you are using FS9.- kdcax_phototerrain_fsx.bgl if you are using FSX.That's all.My best regards,Carlos Pereira.www.tropicalsim.com

Hi jimburke, how are you?Just to explain what happened with SBGR.There were 3 sceneries where Gmax custom coded lights (that causes those effects) were used: Guarulhos/SBGR, Ezeiza/SAEZ and OPorto/LPPR. This last one received an update replacing these kind of taxiway/runway lights. Future updates for the other 2 airports may eventually be done.We have never used this kind of lights anymore on any other scenery.Gmax custom lights were introduced to avoid SP2 issues with SCASM coding where AI aircraft not compiled with FSX SDK would not appear at the airport when shadows were turned on in the options. Since the custom lights was not ideal, we scrapped that and now use AFCAD lights that are originally blocked due to custom ground, so a workaround for that and which is being used by most developers that create custom grounds, is making the ground polygon semi-transparent in runways and PAPI areas.This way, users can fly in our airports without having to turn of shadows as with time we have fully adapted to the SP2 way of being.Please take a look on the links bellow, they will open pics that show what you want to see @ KDCA:http://www.tropicalsim.net/preview/kdca_night.jpghttp://www.tropicalsim.net/preview/kdca_night2.jpgHope I have solved your doubt.My best regards,Carlos Pereira.www.tropicalsim.com

Hi Jeff, how are you?We've sent KDCA to SimMarket this afternoon. I figure the airport may be available tomorrow morning.My best,Carlos Pereira.www.tropicalsim.com

Thanks dburne !Nice to talk to you.My best,Carlos Pereira.www.tropicalsim.com Hi Bill, thanks for the heads up.My mistake. The corrected link for what you are looking for you will find here:http://www.tropicalsim.net/forum/index.php?topic=195.msg712#msg712My best,Carlos Pereira.www.tropicalsim.com

Hi.Yes, you're wrong on this.We've not only responded to that Developer's Day topic here, but we have also decided to offer 30% off on any of our sceneries or 20% off on any of our bundles until today. In order to add a plus on this date, we managed to finish and sent for release our brand new Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport - KDCA today too.As you may see, we were full commited to this nice idea, having made our part too, and in a great way, we think. :(You may check our site. My best regards,Carlos Pereira.www.tropicalsim.com

Interesting idea :Thinking:Sounds good for us.My best regards,Carlos Pereira.www.tropicalsim.comPS: Hi Tom, how are you?I've already tried twice to change my profile to Commercial Member, failed on both. May I have some help on this, please?

Hi.We'll just keep, for a long time, what we have already been doing.Each released scenery goes to our users with 3 options included, in the form of 3 independent installers: FS9, FSX and Prepar3d.They choose what to use, or use all if they want to.Of course, XP keeps been observed, as a future possibility...why not?My best regards,Carlos Pereira.www.tropicalsim.com

Hi again, Something I forgot to mention:- all our users, that already have our FSX sceneries, you will see a free Prepar3d download option in your account, for each compability we announce. My best regards,Carlos Pereira.www.tropicalsim.com
