    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

    Downloads are now active. You may proceed with downloading as desired

    The download limits are a work in progress. Some settings are likely to need tweaking in the coming days.

X-Plane Screenshots

worst developer ever
No screenshot thread?

How about one?
Maybe it'll generate some sales. :playful:


Posting the simulator version and used add-ons might help others.
 
VFR is much better than in MSFS, although the GPS-EFIS connection in the C90 seems to be slightly glitchy.

Note: This is a default aircraft! Yes, you read that right!

Second round...with a little addon scenery on top.

With 11.21 running smooth on my system I find myself spending more and more time with X-Plane and less in my fully equiped and elaborate FSX install.
Even the default stuff looks amazing and the flight model is quite challenging compared to FSX.

The view out of the window is stunning. Even the sky coloring is pretty appropriate at that altitude. This is without orthophoto scenery!

I don't like the contrials though. Much too dark.

I've worked through an entire VORDME approach just to wreck the 737 at touchdown. Ground effect is not as prominent as in FSX.

Dang, that looks great, Ted!


And I really wish that the freeware E-Jets were XP11 compatible. There's nothing in the gap between the Do-328/L-410 and 737.
 
Yep that is a giant drawback we have to create our own seasons...looking forward to see what ya come up with!

See the link at the bottom of my prvious post. That Python script changes seasons based on date (and temperature) and uses texture libraries originally produced for XP10.

I figure it's easier in XP10 since the libraties require quite a bit of reorganization for use in v11.
 
Set the time of day to dusk for the first time. Instant loading (compared to MSFS) and oh my gosh! All of this at 30 FPS on a laptop!

I'm having a tough time finding freeware that's as complete as the (modded) default aircraft. This is both good and bad.
 
Did my first scenery editing steps in X-Plane, albeit only thinning out a VFR scenery and fixing an airport layout. OverlayEditor and WED work quite well. Think SBuilderX and ADE for X-Plane.


And, for the first time in ages, gave a helicopter a try. After a few crashes struggling with the autopilot, I got the hang of it.

The Bell 429 is simply brilliant! And freeware!

Some shots with ReShade V.3.3.2 and LealeRyan_RealisticDaytime.ini preset(no framerate hit)
Sky colour = orbit (a bit to blue)
Bird = JustFlight C152
Scenery = ENOV Orsta Volda freeware.
