Mir // Flightbeam

That is quite an interesting catch. Thanks! Pavel is the developer behind AMSIM, basically confirms the fake account belongs to these guys. I will record that information for legal reasons and advise the appropriate people.

I am not aware, or have any reason to suspect that Amsim is involved in the piracy scheme that BMW is involved in.

The email address publicly listed on that website matches exactly the email address on file for the accounts involved in sharing our products with piracy websites. I’m sure the same emails FSDT and Contrail have discovered as well. Just a word of advice to BMW. If you want to engage in criminal behavior, don’t use your main work email and distribute pirated work with your encrypted account info.

Hey guys! So I've received some interesting messages recently and been seeing some head-scratching comments 😄 Let's clear the air: Congrats to BMWorld and AMSim for their release! No.. I am not "mad" or displeased. It's a free market, any developer can create whatever they want. The notion that we "planted" our flag at KPHX is completely laughable. The reason KPHX even got on our roadmap is by customer demand. So I put it on the roadmap - it's really quite that simple. It was never reserved, or expected to be held up by Flightbeam. These guys have released it first, so now all the folks that wanted PHX badly can now enjoy it, this is great! It's also truly sad seeing some toxic comments like that mention customer have "lost my business". Flightbeam has been serving the FS Community since 2010, and I make sure every product is kept up to date by providing free updates since the inception of this business. It's already quite well known that I don't rush products. Every single product takes a long time, because I put a lot of care and detail into it. So yes, things are going to take time, that is the reality of high quality products. Other developers have 100% right to work on our roadmap airports in the meantime. It's not going to change much for me, they're still going to be released with the expected Flightbeam level of quality, performance and updates. The same thing goes for other devs, we will be working on airports you may have already released. In the meantime, thumbs up to BMWorld for the great rendition of PHX! You should purchase and support this, and any other developer you want if you enjoy this hobby. It keeps the addon market going strong.

This is pretty accurate. At the present state nothing... and I mean nothing will work in a 64bit sim. It would require a lengthy amount of time adjusting to a new SDK, possibly redoing all material properties and re-exporting and re-compiling everything. It's really up to the sim's developer to give the developers an early look and access to get a head start.

Hi folks, sorry to hear people running into this issue. FSDT had updated the Addon Manager a few days ago and something was wrong with their files. The issue has now been resolved, simply install the Standalone Addon Manager and you're set. http://www.fsdreamte...-manager-setupx For further support on this please visit FSDT support (we don't handle the addon manager). Hope this helps!

It's really perplexing on why we see posts like this every once in a while, when I've created a very large support resource right on our website. OP, why not just email us? Responses in less than 24 hours (typically), and instead of other folks guessing, we tell you exactly what is wrong and how to promptly fix it. The issue you posted is extremely common and you can see a solution in our FAQ to fix it after only 2 clicks after entering our website. Directly from the general FAQ: It's a process that takes less than a minute. If you have given up, then you haven't reached out to us for support. We solve every issue promptly to get you up and running. We even come here on AVSIM, and other sites to solve issues posted by others who, for odd reasons, haven't reached out to us. These words are very discouraging...

We often get support emails relating to missing buildings with the user swearing they've already switched off antivirus, however in almost every single case there's something missed, such as: - Some users unknowingly have multiple security programs installed - Many forget Windows comes with Windows Defender, which also blocks our installation - Some customers turn off antivirus during install, then turn it back on when they start FSX. You have to exclude the files as seen in our FAQ: http://flightbeam.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=2130 - Some users accidentally click NO when FSX/P3D asks you to trust Addon Manager during startup - A few folks, for some reason, don't have the proper Windows privileges. Running the installer as Administrator fixes that. - If all else fails, check your DLL.XML and EXE.XML to see if the Addon Manager and Couatl entries are there and trusted. - Lastly, since day 1 we've been in this business I can confidently say that 99.9% of ALL cases relating to missing buildings is caused by security software. So please double check your security software and follow the FAQ on excluding files before emailing. Hope this helps.

If you own ImagineSim's KSJC product, you will have no traffic at KSFO regardless due to a bug in their AFCAD file.

I'm also very curious to your settings, could you please share them? We've tested KSFOHD extensively in P3D v3 many weeks before release. Even with every slider at it's max setting and several add ons running, no OOM was every recorded in v3.

The very large majority of the community are very courteous. There's always a small, extremely vocal minority who seem to ruin the fun and passion for flight sim. I think some people forget that behind every username, handle and image is an actual human being. Cheers,

When you get a moment I'd love any tips on how you convinced your significant other. Congrats!

It won't be on sale for a while, until at least New Years. Hope this helps!

I think it will be out much much sooner than you think. There would have to be a complete catastrophe if it wasn't released before the end of this August, at the very latest. Much sooner than that, most likely. Hi Gregg, I don't know the specifics of the issue you encountered, but it may related to a bug caused by Active Sky Next which has corrupted the dll.xml files. If you're getting multiple errors on installation, check out this link which contains the fix: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/467103-fsdt-addon-manager-telling-me-my-xmls-are-corrupt/?p=3224219 If not, just shoot us an email when you're back.

Hello Gregg, Why don't you just email us at support? We solve every issue promptly. Sometimes users run into an issue and believe it's catastrophic, and spend days messing with files thinking the product is broken. The reality is, it's always a simple fix that takes less than a minute if you send us an email.

The Imaginesim KSJC unfortunately turns off all traffic at KSFO. Removing KSJC will solve the issue.

This has probably been said before but it never hurts to repeat it for users who are not aware. Photoscenery is the #1 culprit with VAS consumption. Why? Because even if you start a flight in California (for example), the sim will load all the photoscenery into memory from other areas, even if it's all the way in Canada. It's a terrible waste in performance. Thats also why your sim may take a really long time to load when you have a lot of photoscenery areas installed. By Photoscenery, I'm talking about things like Megascenery, etc. Airports products are different. A well rounded airport product with good optimizations will slowly load into your memory as you approach on final.

Hey Tom, It's very sad to hear this, and I'm very sorry. I'm sure having this on your mind for some time, makes you see life in a different way. All of us have a limited time in this world, I hope you don't feel alone. We're all going where you're going, some sooner, some later. It should instead be a celebration of your life and your achievements. I think you've done a phenomenal job uniting the flight simulation community for so long. Congratulations on this and all your other achievements. We need more Toms in this world. All the best to you and God bless

Do you have Aerosoft US Cities: San Francisco installed by chance?

hero93 has been developing AFCADs for us for quite some time. Just because he doesn't have a commercial account doesn't mean he's not a commercial developer. Also his remarks are correct. Many.. many of the errors are quite irrelevant, they are hand-tuned to work as designed for the airport. I'm pretty sure this goes for other developers as well. It certainly doesn't reflect a lack of care in the AFD, on the contrary. Many.. many many hours are spent on making it seamless with the custom scenery.

Installers are now updated, thanks for your patience!

AirdailyX uses P3D for those screenshots. Once again.. effects are not displaying correctly in P3D. A completely DIFFERENT problem. And once AGAIN, I cannot replicate that problem. Neither has the thousands of other users who are using KDEN without a problem. I have already looked into it, there is simply no fix for the issue you're having. Please include the many... many emails we sent back and forth before that.

The issue you are having is localized, and no one else has experienced it. Umberto from FSDT is having a completely different issue with the lights at KDEN, we work closely together and we've discussed this many times. Such grand assumptions you have? At one point, there was a bug with the lights, and I created a whole fix for it. I don't know why you're still having issues, no one else is reporting this except on P3D installations where there is an existing issue with effects. Once again your false claims of having no support has no merit whatsoever. I have a huge email conversation between yourself and I, would you like me to post it here for everyone to see? So once again, I don't have a fix right now for the issue you're having. All this time you spend complaining and have me responding takes me away from critical production time of KSFO HD. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Are you the user who continually posts messages on our Facebook? Do you realize we provide no support for people posting on Facebook? Please don't spread false information, we provide support to every single user. There is a reason we made a SUPPORT SYSTEM, both on our forums and by our support email. I respond to requests daily, and we've fixed every single issue with KDEN to date that has been brought up, minus a few issues that are localized to user's system, such as Richard Sennett who started this topic, who I've been working with for almost a week on resolving the localized issues he's having. The lights at Denver international are all being upgraded to LED lights, and they are white. When I built this product I future proofed it, all the current construction is already done in the product, the hotel, tram system and even the LED lighting. I was on site at Denver for a week researching every aspect of the airport. Also, pictures are not a valid reference for night lighting. Cameras have longer exposures and make the lighting seem much brighter than it is. The lights in the product are designed to show what you see if you were sitting in a cockpit. Also, the review you posted and took out of context, is an extremely favorable review: "it just might be the very best scenery I have ever laid my eyes on". We also received several awards, and we're on the cover of FSMagazin this month with an Editors Choice award for KDEN. If you're still not happy, please go through the proper route: [email protected] and I will gladly refund you.
