Again, this can't be a serious post, can it? NYT and Washington Post respected??? Really???

CNN, BBC, CBC trustworthy?!?!?! That's hilarious!!! They are some of the biggest initial offenders as to why no one can trust the news any more. They wouldn't know a fact if it walked up and slapped them in the face.

An even better question is, why do so many people that have absolutely no idea when a product will actually release come in here and give their predictions on when it will be released. These predictions, together with a couple of dollars, will get me a ride on a city bus. That's about all they're good for.

Thank God common sense is returning!!!

I've been wondering this myself. I was really looking forward to this aircraft.

Yes. It will work with P3D v4. Yes, point the config at the resample from the P3D v4 sdk(though I think it would work w/ earlier versions too but you might as well just use the latest version of the sdk).

Ah, ok. I see what you're saying now. You win! (Kind of :)) Though I think in this particular case, it's probably easier to continue on with the code base that has already been working with than to try to start generating kml files and using those. That's better left to another application I think as the process used by this app doesn't need another way to get this data. It already is doing that on its own. You're right. It could have been made to use FSET. But this was originally developed for XP and is now being made to generate ESP photoreal. So I think it's already too far down the line to make it worth while to switch now. As I said, it's already doing the portion where kml/FSET would be needed in its own way. So why go back? Or am I still not on the same page as you yet? :)

You and I have much different definitions of simple. LOL. Well, actually, you're right...it's not hard to draw lines. But try doing that for entire continents!! That's a lot of patience. And patience is definitely a virtue that I lack! :) This application figures that all out for you...at least in regards to water masking. Maybe you are trying to do more yet?

Maybe so. I've used FSET myself so I agree. That works. However, it is nowhere near as simple in my opinion as this app is. Whether it's re-inventing the wheel or not, it's doing so in an easier way for us users.

But who defines the KML? How is that created? Does this exist already on the internet like OSM data does?

Yeah, I am not sure what you don't get Chris? This tool is about as simple as you can get from a user perspective. All you have to do is select what "tile" you want photoreal for and select some options and go. To create something that converts OSM to KML and then have the user have to use FSET to then generate the tiles just adds steps and confusion for the same result. This tool makes it very easy. It's one of the big reasons why people prefer X-Plane over ESP products because of how simple this tool has made it to create such beautiful scenery for free. Obviously for X-Plane, it does autogen too. When this tool does that for ESP(I believe it is planned, right kjjj11223344?), then we will have the same great scenery we have in X-Plane for ESP sims and in such a simple way to create it. What would generating kml first and using FSET do that this can't already? I'm curious.

Either don't answer the yes/no pop up that says it doesn't answer(just leave it up) or, answer it and then re-launch ezdok after p3d is up and running.

I'd be interested in having that checklist as well, if possible?

I believe the reason why they didn't is that SWA closely models option 1 or whatever it's called. The bigger shame is that us button guys don't have a choice at all.

Yep. Can't wait for the P3D version!!! My FSX install runs ok. And, I'm happy to be flying this beautiful aircraft rather than waiting who knows how long for the P3D version. But man, do I miss P3D!!! I can understand the cost reason for staying w/ FSX. But there's no other reason IMO not be on P3D. FSX looks so ugly in comparison. (Again, of course this is just my opinion and beauty is always in the eye of the beholder).
