X-Plane 11 Beta 5 is out
Drawbridge Designs replied to tonywob's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
I can attest that Austin is a stand up guy and comes from a wonderful family. What he does with his money is nobody's business. -
ORBX XP11: What are your predictions?
Drawbridge Designs replied to MarkSC's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
Regarding scenery, I was told (from a reliable source) that some scenery packs for MSFS averaged around 500 copies a year in sales. Others, not so much. Regarding XP, I'd say 500 sales in a year would be a HUGE success. I just don't see the math adding up for Orbx but I've been wrong before. -

Best Airport Design Tool?
Drawbridge Designs replied to ohsirus's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
No options other than what you noted. My advice: keep your objects along with everything else nice and organized. -
Exclusion Zones in XP10
Drawbridge Designs replied to Comanche's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
When you plot an exclusion zone, that prevents parts (whatever you choose from the menu) of the autogen from drawing within that boundary. When you add a building via WED (library or custom) that object will draw within the exclusion zone. I guess you could call it a layer. -

Plot an exclusion zone in WED and in the box below the task bar, choose "objects". -
Orthoimagary downloads
Drawbridge Designs replied to RocketRod's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
You can download the JPG2000 files/tiles from the Viewer and covert them to GeoTiff's. I've never done this BUT there's a program out there called GeoJasper that does the conversion. -

Progress Update
Drawbridge Designs replied to Drawbridge Designs's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
We're on top of it but thanks for the reminder ^_^ Keep watching this forum...more to come soon. -
I'd like to give a big thanks to those who have purchased ILM. For those who haven't, buy it I'm currently working an update to KILM. We've addressed a few glitches and got some bugs resolved. 4K textures have been added to increase the resolution of a few objects. More vegetation is being added as well as an array of 3d objects to increase the realism. I can't give an exact timeframe for release of the update but I hope to have it done in the next 2-4 weeks. WED is being a huge pain in the &@($* right now and it takes me twice as long to get things done. As far as upcoming projects, I've started work on another "boutique" airport just up the coast from Wilmington. It presents a few challenges. X-Plane renders coastlines and islands like crap so I'm going to cut a new mesh as well as include additional orthoimagery. This should add a lot to the overall detail to the scenery. Moving forward, I hope to include a much larger area of imagery for every airport. The deciding factor in most cases is cost and availability. Good, leaf on, green grass, high resolution imagery ain't cheap. I've also put into motion the start of the Florida Keys. I still have a few things to work out but the plan at this point is offer high resolution scenery for Key West International, Key Largo and Marathon. I'm hoping to have the entire chain of islands covered by high resolution imagery. I'm very excited about this because the imagery is beautiful and crisp. But again, because of the default mesh, I'll have to cut a new one and it's not very fun to do That's all for now. DD

Thanks for the kind words!! I can say that we've talked about animated jetways and vehicles:) The rest, don't know. HF -
Thanks for the kind words. As I mentioned in another topic, we're bouncing quite a few things around. Wilmington was a "test" so to speak, on a lot of fronts. We're really happy with the results. In terms of what we're planning to do geographically, that's a great question. Regional fields like ILM are nice for a lot of reasons. But I do realize that people like "the big stuff" too. We're full-time at this so in the end, nothing is undoable. For now, Europe is a bit of a stretch:) The plan is to push the limits of airport detail and airport security:) HF
