LR is growing further ...

Another recruit from a third party project. Nice, looks like Laminar is putting the XP12 revenue to good use. -
Finishing 12.1.0 Features
Bjoern replied to mSparks's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
"Private testing" in January, "private testing" in February, "private testing" in March, then a "private alpha". This is dragging out like a meeting before lunch! -
Shensee B707/720 and 707s in XPlane
Bjoern replied to coastaldriver's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
No. That's not really an issue. Interests shift, life away from the screeen gets busier and whatever present or past creations fall to the wayside. Continued work on any products, even in absentia, can always be ensured by applying a corresponding license to have others carry on, but most authors don't do that. But these are luxury complaints. There's always some other toy to play with in X-Plane. -

Still miffed because he took my flight model improvements that brought both variants of the aircraft up to performance specifications per the POH and manufacturer as a personal insult. Hangared the model out of protest afterward. -

The X-CSL models are what you need. -

Bjoern replied to jcomm's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
I know for one that VSKYLABS' main developer has yoke time in the real thing, so that should be a bit of an advantage in terms of getting the handling close. -

Goi to Youtube and search "DC-3 takeoff" or "C-47 takeoff", then watch hours of videos. I see no evidence of low directional stability that can not be attributed to wind or pilot experience/skill. -

Bjoern replied to jcomm's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
That was about the DC-2. "Hold brakes left" and "Hold brakes right" work for replicating what one would to with the toe brakes. Asymmetric thrust helps as well, but is not mandatory as the direction changes are mostly performed with brakes and rudder anyway. I have no issues with the VSKYLABS C-47, although I sometimes still get bitten by it on the ground when not careful enough. The AWX one looks nice, but could do with a few bugfixes. And it's oddly light on the controls compared to the VSKYLABS one. -
Next-Gen Scenery first details!
Bjoern replied to Inu's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
Any raster looks good if it's fine enough, however fine rasters usually draw complaints from those trying to run maximum eye candy in VR on a 486DX. -

"Raster" is still fairly negatively connotated in my book because of acute "Falcon terrain" trauma. (Not my screenshots.) -
X-Plane 12.1.0 New Article & Features
Bjoern replied to Inu's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
Operating an aerial work platform: "Okay, we need to go here and here and do this and that, oh, let me get there as well." Riding along on an aerial work platform: "I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die..." -

Well, I prefer two actual shots of tequila instead. 😉 -
New bloom effects coming soon.
Bjoern replied to GoranM's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
Didn't get excited over bloom effects in 2003, won't get excited over bloom effects now. Maybe it's the trauma from back then... -
X-Plane 12.1.0 New Article & Features

Ah, X-Plane's single most useless feature. Next to the "sunglasses". -
X-Plane 12.1.0 New Article & Features
Bjoern replied to Inu's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
Too bad they didn't flesh out the ATC bugfixes and improvements a bit. Anyway, looking forward to 12.1.0, although I guess that all CPU performance improvements will be eaten up by the improved shadows and anti-aliasing.
