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).

Assuming all your key commands are still default, I think you do this by pressing and holding the space bar(this enables "Mouse Look" I believe it's called) and then you can use your scroll wheel to zoom in and out. Not sure what Scenery folder you put it in. If it's the one off the root of P3D, then no. Though, for scenery, it really can be located anywhere you want. You just have to add it to the scenery library, pointing it to the freemeshX folder that contains the scenery(and optionally texture) folders. I don't recall all the exact details on walking you through that step by step though. So, that's the best I can tell you there. But, you can't just add it to a scenery directory and have it automatically picked up like you can in XPlane. Well, there's ways you can but they are not advisable to do that way. Yeah, I don't think this is possible in P3D. But, I could be wrong?

Yep. You would be fine with this and can't argue with the price. I have never compared so I don't know if this is any better or not, but a payware option is www.toposim.net. I have all the North American stuff and EU stuff and have been more than happy with it. I use the FreeMeshX stuff for the rest of the world and that is fine too. Yep. An alternative would be Ground Environment X(GEX). A matter of personal choice as to which is better. I would check out AS16/ASCA now. That's the latest in the HiFi series. But, yes, the best in weather generation for the MSFS series, IMO. Yes. However, there are free stuff out there too. Don't remember all of them. Also, from my above suggestion, if you went with ASCA from HiFi, you would arguably not really need REX, at least for sky textures anyway. - FSUIPC (to communicate via IP to other Ad-Ons, is that right?), i know XPUIPC in X-Plane so i guess it's the same? Yep, you're correct. This is the XUIPC equivalent. It's not required for everything, but is definitely highly recommended I think. - The VATISM-client if i want to fly online on Vatsim VPilot is what you'd want here. Others... GSX for ground handling stuff. There's probably more. But all I can think of right now. :smile:

Should be. I'm running it on a i5 2500k @4.5Ghz, 8M RAM, and a GTX 970. Mostly smooth for me except in AS16/ASCA clouds where I notice some stuttering but nothing so bad that I don't want to fly. Still can't figure out how to improve things there.

No, bought at the local WalMart - LOL. It's an hour drive to the nearest Best Buy for me. So, after reading some reviews on the Samsung, I decided to take a chance. Again, I'm happy with it. If you hadn't mentioned the Sony, I wouldn't be thinking twice. Still will most likely just end up keeping this, to be honest.

That's not a bad price. Where were you about 4 hours ago? LOL. It's got me thinking...maybe I should return this and get that one. I have 90 days to return this one. So, I could order the Sony and keep this while I wait for the Sony to get here. For TV's though, I like Samsung. I have their SUHD 55" in my living room and love it! Nothing against Sony though either. For me, there's always been two companies when buying TVs, Samsung and Sony. Those are the only two brands I've ever owned. Didn't know there was a big difference in this price range for PC use between the two til now though.(though it would still be nice to see in person too before I make that final judgement).

Yeah, max for this purchase was around $700. I'm definitely not unhappy and without seeing a Sony in person, I don't know the difference. So I'm just going to pretend I didn't read your comment for now. Now, if we could just get the darn FSLabs A320 released for P3D!!!!!!!!

Ah, Ok. I had that understood backwards then. Thank you!!! I messed around with other settings in P3D and I think I got it working well actually. It is butter smooth right now. The smoothest experience I've had in a sim. I was afraid I'd get a little worse moving up to 4K but instead, it seems it may have actually gotten better/smoother! How awesome is that?

Ok, all you 4k experts here...I just got a Samsung UN50KU6300 and am attempting my first flight in 4K. However, I have a question for anyone that can answer and especially anyone that has tried this particular TV. I should add that I'm running this with a GTX 970. I can't get Game Mode to become available no matter what I do. I've tried the naming of the input to PC or DVI PC per some posts I've seen on other forums but still no go. I'm assuming that due to this, I'm paying a little price in smoothness or performance. I do notice some stutters and a "laggy" mouse from time to time. This is the biggest issue I'd like to figure out. Maybe game mode is not possible on this model? If so, I'll take it back. Thanks.

I saw that video too. I know he said he was using it. But, I feel we're going to have to wait for all the FSX stuff to be stable/support for that platform to calm down first. Who knows how long that will take. Then too, if they wan't/need to get bug fixes found in FSX version into P3D version before release, we could still be talking a pretty good amount of time yet. I've been so tempted to wipe everything and re-install FSX just for this A/C but I don't know that I could go back to FSX any more. I'd love the airplane but hate the sim. Plus, I'd have to buy AS16 FSX license and I'm not sure what else. So, it's just sit and wait and watch all the FSX users enjoy it while I continue pretending the AS version is anywhere close.

I certainly hope you're right, Rich!!! This wait is extremely painful!!!!! :smile:
