lol :lol:

"baked texture?" means AWESOME LOOKING F18 :lol:

are you talking about Farming Simulator 2013 :lol:

I own DRZEWIECKI DESIGN - NEW YORK CITY X (awesome payware, must have for all), FTX Global, FSDT KJFK v2, and a lot of Payware Planes including the PMDG 777 and many others.......My OOM's have stopped and my FPS improved alittle under DX9. Mitch is right.

It was Win7 default speech recognition app that controlled fsx.

are you on Windows 8? I had this issue on 8 so I re-installed 7 and it worked.

does anyone have any idea on how well this sim is doing? i'm new to XP10 and like what I see so far.

nice!

:LMAO: in our words......."It Sucks!"

i also love how there is no install, just move the folders into fsx and off you go.....like most xplane10 payware.

agreed, The Bug is awesome and no can of Raid can stop it :lol: http://youtu.be/JNsiLBRe-sA the latest superbug version looks amazing with 4096 textures, the video above is an older model.

:Party: :im Not Worthy: :clapping: :yahoo: thank you. the wait is killing me. I hate the Grey wall of fog and the xp10 default clouds. This payware was very needed and I would have paid any amount for it.

Dino Cattaneo’s F-35 Lightning II (freeware) is definitely a must-have, and now even more since the new update adds the VRS TacPac support. It requires Vertical Reality Simulation’s Tacpack module. Compatible weapons and functions have been added along the weapon configurator, with improved afterburner effects and heat shimmer effects.

it's even better than the DCS planes, I love the bug.

Major SDK back-end infrastructure changesFull support for third-party aircraft integration No longer requires the Superbug and thus may be installed interdependently Aircraft-specific TacPack.ini for developer configuration of weapon stations and countermeasures Developer security signing and validation for protecting designer-specified files from unauthorized modifications. Note that altering protected files will cause TacPack-enabled aircraft to fail validation in multi-player, thus forcing a user kick from sessions in which the host has enabled anti-cheating.

http://forums.flightsimlabs.com/index.php?%2Ftopic%2F4912-some-news%2F "Posted Yesterday, 09:57 AM Hi all, Quite a bit of time since we updated you with our status... sometimes it's true that with our heads so deep into the code, it's difficult to come up and take a breath... there's quite a bit of development going on in the Labs, I won't tire you with the same old "it's very complex" reason, but it remains true today. Those of you who have read my status updates in the past will understand that my roots are in programming and development, so my skill set is more honed towards writing code than spreading hype and marketing fluff. As such, forgive me for sometimes forgetting that it's nice to put a little bit of text together for you all, if only just to say a nice hello and give you some heads-up on our status. So - what's been going on: We're doing great. The team is working hard, as always and every new alpha release brings more functionality to our testers and advisers. Technical terms, such as "extended vertical profile calculations", "altitude/speed constraint triplets", "leg fuel prediction variability" are included in our daily discussions. While these discussions might excite me personally (didn't I say my background is in programming and development?), they don't offer themselves as presentation material for public consumption, not just because they tend to be dry in nature (calculating the Dx/Dy step for TCF/TAD predictions is in itself a matter of various US Patents but hardly instagram-worthy), but also because if we attempt to start such discussions in the forum, they have a tendency to diverge significantly into other forms of human fun (such as the displays we had recently). We have also been working hard on the visual aspects of our simulation product - external model and virtual cockpit have been receiving lots of attention (always with the help of our advisers and testers). As is usual historically in such projects, code programming takes significantly longer than the development of visual elements, but in our case, we use that to our advantage - it's typical that some of our visual work has been done over more than once, as each round of alpha testing might identify elements that we wish to improve upon and beautify. Why, then, "are we so late"? Well, we are and we aren't. As I mentioned previously in my past "update" notes, I originally set the bar very high in terms of what we wanted to deliver, but failed to realize how hard that is in terms of development - in the past, all our simulation projects had been done solely with the entertainment market in mind, meaning that we were able to "cut corners" where corners could be cut (to a degree that would allow us to stay within the 18 month development time frame period). With the A320-X family, we aim much higher - we want our product to be able to deliver proper functionality in so many different areas and each one requires absolute attention to detail. As such, where in the past we'd spend two-three days to develop the cabin pressurization system (for example) and call it "good enough" as a platform, in the A320-X it took us significantly longer to develop, as it tied into the bleed systems, our pneumatic simulation model and also took account of sealant leaks where they might play a role in the real aircraft. It also tied into the electrics wiring - the switches and knobs that control pressurization are properly tied into our electrical grid which meant that work in electrics had to coexist with the development of cabin pressure calculations. This is but a small example of what attention we bring into our product - but it also means that we can't be accurate in estimating how long each system might take to fully be developed. Thankfully, it also means that when they are complete, these systems are so elegantly done they can be plugged into each aircraft type without requiring much more than the rewiring for each aircraft's input / output requirements. I have been discussing with our team how we can bring some visual elements to life for you before our product is released. We have a few ideas that we will be showcasing in upcoming posts but for now, I just wanted to write you a small update just to say that we appreciate your continued support (it's amazing how much of that you keep showing us every day) and to ask for your understanding when there's some time between updates - I know it's frustrating, I've been there myself as a customer, but it's even worse as a developer because we're the first to want to give you the fruits of our labor. That is all for now - I have asked Bob Lyddy, our new QA manager, to keep me honest in providing these updates so if I don't come up with a new one soon, you now know exactly who to blame (see how easy it is to point fingers elsewhere? ). Talk to you soon!"

the Duke, clouds and ground are all amazing in these pics. It's a beautiful marriage of Duke, FTXG, ENB and REX.....am I right? :smile: Mr. Allensworth's pics look better than the Simmarket photos.

XP10.30 will have better textures than my Aunt

I had an Aunt on my fathers side who we called: "THE KAHUNA" :lol:

any survivors? :lol:

I'm going to name my next kid "Ben" and my daughter "Xplaney"

"Our goal is to use the new revised urban textures for all climates, but we don’t have the variants yet. I’m going to put the cold-wet ones into 10.25; we’ll get the rest out when they are available." quote by Ben

nice! "Breaking Bad" was awesome but now it's "time to cook" with xplane10.

http://youtu.be/1Q_LyAvDA4I it looks amazing! coming out soon.

I just setup a new Headset/Mic combo for online and other voice controlled software and decided to try it out in FSX, it worked great and was awesome controlling the views and several keys by voice.
