    Post 16 Update

    Post 17 Warning old domain name stealing credentials

  • IMPORTANT INFORMATION - ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ

    Due to an increase in the number of new members who are trying to systematically download our entire Resource Library (one new member yesterday tried to download 3,000+ files AT ONCE!) we are being forced to implement some changes regarding who can download what, how many files at a time and at what speed. As the forums and Resource Library share the same bandwidth when the Library gets overloaded with demand like that the forums fall over, as we have all seen recently. It's sad that greed has forced our hand in this way but we must do something for the benefit of all our legitimate members (many of whom paid money for the upkeep of the site) and to prevent the files stored here being used for nefarious purposes. Many of our uploads have specific conditions tied to them that forbid uploading to any other site or deny uploading to any site that has a 'paywall' (i.e. a pay to download policy). Due to the number of mass download attempts recently we can only assume that somebody, somewhere, is attempting to stock up a new file library with our files and we owe it to our up-loaders to protect their files and intellectual property especially as many (like my own LDR Development projects) are made available at SOH only and are specified as such in the 'read me' files.

    The forums and Resource Library will be taken offline as of 13:00 EDT with the forums coming back online shortly after without the resources library while we work on setting up permissions on the new Library module.

    We hope our members understand why we need to do this and will bear with us while we implement the changes.

    Thanks in anticipation, SOH ADMINISTRATION

    The download limits are a work in progress. Please hold on until we work out the details of how it will work.

Prepar3D v3 Screenshots

Superb shots TuFun, as usual :)
Yes, the P3D shadows really had something to the "consistency" of the view, and yes it's especially valid for shadows inside the plane. I noticed that when I did the screenshots of the Beaver.

On a side note, did you notice there's a newer version of the Solenzara airbase ? They added some more details to it :) (and AI traffic as well)
 
Thanks for reminding me about Tipella.
In FSX I couldn't use it so much, because it had too much impact on the FPS. But in P3D, it's smooth as silk :)

Funny thing is: I triggered the avatar mode and I appeared swimming in the water... so I went to the ramp, and started walking it up :encouragement:

Yeah...that water is freaking cold. lol

Agreed P3D has smoothed things out tremendously. I design to maximize current technology, but accommodate the less capable systems. Tippela was a push for FSX for sure.

Tipella P3D is absolutely on my to do list. I still have all of the modeling I created for the project, I still own the IP and my new vegetation libs work extremely well in P3D and FSX. In addition, all of the modeling and autogen are already done for Little Harrison lake, which is the only real world spot you can land a float plane.

Tipella has also expanded quite a bit since I released the freeware. The new version will include the new infrastructure.

Of course, the best aspect of CBB7 is landing without wadding up your equipment. lol
 
Hey G,

Do you need Orbx to use the freeware CBB7? In the video below it looks gorgeous. :santahat:




Edit: I installed this scenery in FSX without PNW and the water at the logging camp is gone. SO it looks like this is not a standalone;I think PNW is needed to draw the missing water and whatever else
is needed.

Cool to have it eventually in P3D! Did some crazy (exploding Jeep) videos of that scenery!!! :biggrin-new:

Awaiting Squamish updates to P3Dv3. Want to see how smooth that one will be on my rig.

You will need ORBX PNW if you are using the original freeware version of CBB7 Tipella. The shorelines are very different from stock FSX and will display much of the scenery intended for water incorrectly on the land.

I've still got that vid TF....makes me laugh every time I watch it.

Not sure how long it will take them to release the CYSE upgrade.

Hi Daube,
Please would you tell me where to find this newer version of Solenzara AB - neither the virtualcorsair.fr version nor the payware Skydesigners one seems to have been updated......thanks
 
Not really. In fact i found the navigation to this precise page to be a little bit complex.
I had to go to the map and click on Corsica, then scroll all the way down the next page to select the FSX sceneries, then scroll down again to select the airports, and finally I could reach that page :/
I'm also downloading the new stuff currently, I hope I can install it today.
 
Landing on a lake (Calacuccia) not far away from Corte in Corsica. There's an hydrobase in there, thanks to the airport pack for Corsica. However, it seems I really need a mesh, because the lake surface was anything but flat :/
Also, a few autogen trees in water, not critical until you're very close. But overall is extremely pleasant for my low&slow flights :)
