• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Hi,

as some know here I work on the FSX Solomon 1943 update now daily. Today I got a nice reply to a mail I wrote to Virtavia regarding the use of the old Alphasim FS9 aircraft as converted static models for the scenery. The answer was a generous "yes" and I'm really happy about that!
These aircraft make splendid static models. I convert them to static scenery, with native FSX properties (dds textures, draw call optimized for performance) and can even display them with doors open or closed, flaps down or not and so on in different versions. As of now I converted around 80 aircraft (Alphasim and others) of US, japanese or british origin that fit into the era. Finally the airfields can be populated properly now.

Thanks, Virtavia!
Mark

Mark,

Your dedication and many hours of work devoted to the Solomon's scenery is most appreciated. This new development is going to make it that much better still.

Many thanks and regards,
