Thanks for the kind words, guys! We should be releasing a hot fix this week for some minor ground poly flickering people are experiencing with software such as "Chase Plane". Thanks, Russ

Hey all! Just a heads up, we've finally released KGPI Glacier Park International Airport! All the information you need can be found here: https://www.turbulentdesigns.co.uk/forum/topic/729-kgpi-glacier-park-international-airport-released/ We really hope you enjoy it and thanks again for all the support!! Thanks, Russ

Thanks for the compliments all! I'm hoping BETA goes smoothly so we can get it to you ASAP :D

Hey all! More from us over at Turbulent... here are our latest shots showing off our Winter/wet and Summer/Dry work! We're in BETA finally! Here's the link: https://www.turbulentdesigns.co.uk/kgpi-glacier-park-international-airport-now-beta/ Here's a few shots to tempt you over :D Thanks, Russ

Quick update regarding the feedback we received from the screenshots: We've updated the dirt on the main apron and removed one of the tugs for GSX users. Thanks, Russ

Hi all! Just another update on our P3D v4 exclusive; KGPI. Lots of screenshots to show off this time! For all of them, check out our site: https://www.turbulentdesigns.co.uk/kgpi-glacier-park-international-airport-approaching-beta/ Here's a few preview shots! Hope you're liking what you see! Thanks, Russ

This is where our hobbies differ. There are many people out there that use simulation to do just that. Our goal has always been to encourage exploration and do things you wouldn't usually do. That's an advantage simulation has over reality. Why use a simulator and restrict yourself? Have a bit of fun and explore the places you wouldn't be able to in reality :)

We do not charge for those details, we charge for the detail we go to with things like the ground polygon detail, the building detail and the amount of work we put in to getting those features as close to the real thing as possible. That aside, the majority of our customers appreciate the detail we go to. But we understand that not everyone needs it, so we give you the option to disable it. Clutter is actually not accounted for in our budget for airports at all. Which technically is insane, but we understand that a lot of people love it being there, but don't want to pay for it.

I'm still trying to get used to people calling airports like KGPI "small" (although, obviously I get why). It has literally taken me a few months just to complete the Terminal area! haha We've put so much stuff in to this airport that the thought of anything bigger is horrifying! :D Developers doing bigger airports have my respect. Thanks, Russ

You're hired.

To be honest, it's more of a sales thing. GA airports is a very niche market, so American airports are normally the "safer" bet as it's the biggest audience. I'd love to go else where if sales of even our American airports pick up. They cost a lot of money to develop. As a bit of a clue of what the sales numbers are like, I'll say one thing. Turbulent aren't in it for the profit. We're by no means a small company, but our aviation/simulation section is tiny (compared to some other publishers/developers) and we do it because we enjoy it.

Yes it will be optimised for dynamic lighting. We're moving away from light maps. It still requires a lot of work from Lockheed, but we do what we can to keep it reasonable. Thanks, Russ

Thanks for the kind words, all! I'll be getting some airside shots to you ASAP :) Thanks, Russ

Hey all, As it's a P3D v4 exclusive, I thought I'd post our update to KGPI here as well. Hope you like the progress! All shots found here: https://www.turbulentdesigns.co.uk/kgpi-glacier-park-international-airport-update/ Here are a few of them: Thanks, Russ

Yep.

Hi all! Just a heads up, we've released our first X-Plane product; KIDA Idaho Falls: X-Plane Edition. It's also in the Christmas sale which ends December 31st. We're hoping this is the first of many more X-Plane projects to come! More info and screenshots can be found here: https://www.turbulentdesigns.co.uk/kida-idaho-falls-x-plane-edition-released/

Every developers customer base is different and can't really be used to identify a dominant simulator (at least not yet). For us, our customer base was mainly P3D v3 and v4, which led us to the decision of developing for v4 only, back in June. Thanks, Russ

Yes, just previews for now. We'll be releasing early next year. Thanks, Russ

Thanks, Scott! We do indeed prefer the more scenic and obscure airports. But for us, that's what simulation is about; being able to explore places you may not be able to in reality. Thanks, Russ

Just double checked. Did you get my reply on 11/12/2017 at 13:52? I requested your username and email address. :) Thanks, Russ

Hi Scott, Thanks for the heads up. I'm sure I answered it but I'll double check. Sorry for the inconvenience! Thanks, Russ

Hey guys, We released some shots of KGPI yesterday. As it's a P3D v4 exclusive, I thought you'd want a heads up. More shots here: https://fselite.net/previews/fselite-exclusive-previews-turbulent-designs-kgpi-glacier-park-international-airport/ I hope you like how its coming along! Thanks, Russ

Please don't misunderstand. The price was ALWAYS listed including VAT for all regions that pay VAT. It just wasn't obvious for people that didn't pay VAT that VAT wasn't added to the price even though it displayed "INC VAT". NO ONE has been charged more or less than what was advertised on the product page and checkout.

Hi guys, We've made a few adjustments to the product page, so hopefully things are a little more obvious. If you're in a region that does not pay VAT, then you'll notice that the inc and exc VAT will be the same. Thanks, Russ

Thanks for contributing, Chock. We're working on making it a little less confusing. Thanks, Russ
