    Hi Gabriel, long time no see, hope you are well Sir. NG3 I believe, referees to the newest 737 

     Hi Mike, thanks! I'm fine. Hope you are well too!

    Yep. I was wondering if it will be some kind of update to the NGX line (-600, -700, -800, -900), or just the new 737 MAX -- or both. :tongue:

    By reading the posts in this thread, I think these things weren't detailed yet. That's ok -- very exciting news, anyway!

    I remember that night. People were posting comments at such a high rate that that a post would be on page 2 right after you read it. So much anticipation for he 737. Still my most flown aircraft as well as well as my favorite. Look forward to it finally getting precipitation effects.

    I remember it too. People comparing it to the release of the classic 747 for FS9, AVSIM down for some minutes...

    It's scary to realize that that was almost 7 years ago.

    V4 was just released, give it time.

    In this case, the compatibility is concerning.

    The sky textures aren't "normal" textures, in the sense that they govern other aspects of the visuals beyond displaying the image they contain, so-to-speak. I'm talking about environment lighting and shadows, lighting and shadow coloring etc.

    In order to do this, they have to follow a certain structure (i. e. 32x32px, being the first line of pixels the one that will give the textures those special attributes...).

    If P3Dv4 is using such textures without any issues, I guess this structure remains. I hope I'm wrong -- I really wish sky developers could work more freely (just being able to use a bigger file size would improve things a lot), but...

    Rumor is that FSW is integrating some flavor of Simul's trueSky/weather tech.

    Here's an old article about Simul weather (probably quite out of date):

    https://web.archive.org/web/20130425063236/http://www.modsim.org/Articles/Simul/index.htm

    Seems awesome. Hope they follow this path.

    I saw some P3Dv4 screenshots and people were using sky sets they already had... which probably means that (unfortunately, in my opinion) things haven't changed in this regard on v4.

    It's crazy. Without VAS limit, we'll have a 4k texture for the interior of a terminal building which folks will rarely see, while using such a small texture for the sky.

    The children of the FS series, so-to-speak.

    Just for the sake of curiosity: how's the sky rendered in these new sims?

    I mean, they are all going 64 bits... we'll see 4k textures in everything, I guess. I'll be a bit disappointed if the sky textures continue to be those 32x32px bitmaps... and it's the sky! The most important "environment" in a flight simulator.

    So... did they change this or I'll continue to struggle with those tiny textures? :sad:

    Now, this caught me by surprise...

     

    I got the chance to take a look at a preview of Lufthansa Cargo's livery for the PMDG 747, by Steve Dra.

    Knowing some of his paintings for the 777, I already knew the quality would be top-notch...

     

    I'll let the images speak for themselves, although I'm pretty sure they don't do justice to his work. I can only say I'm in love with this livery and will certainly log a ton of hours into it!

    So here's her, in a calm morning at EDDL's cargo ramp.

    Massive thanks to Steve for this gift. I'm pretty sure you guys will have her in your own hangars very soon -- for free, which is quite amazing considering the amount of work it takes to make something like this. Folks like Steve deserve all the recognition for their contribution to our hobby. :smile:

    More of his work here.

     

     

    Hope you guys like it!

    Thanks Gabriel!

    FS2004 is the best in my opinion.

     

    I miss my days of FS9, to be honest.

    No performance issues, and a certain 'mood' that I think FSX lacks somehow.

     

    If it wasn't for PMDG I'd probably still be flying in this sim until this day. (Seriously: I only installed FSX when the NGX came out :P ).
