    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.

BBest kept secret in X-Plane

having been the designer of the famed AeroCommander 500s Shrike, Ted Smith set about designing an all new plane in the 60s and in 1967 the Aerostar was born.. Over the next few years, the Aerostar would see itself owned by several companies including Butler Aviation ( mooney ) and Piper. Under Piper, the Aerostar became known first as the PA-60 and then later with pressurization, the PA-601P. This rendition of Teds prototype aircraft is perhaps one of the most faithful reproductions I have seen and its a total joy to fly. i couldnt recommend it more.

I will "have" to get this plane. I saw an Aerostar departing from Moorabbin Airport a few years ago, as I work very close by, and I did not know what it was. I asked around on a few forums, with a brief description of what I saw, and I was told by a very smart person it sounded like an Aerostar. I looked for one for FSX, and ended up finding a FS2004 payware version by FSD which I imported in to FSX and P3DV3 after a lot of stuffing around. It is such a unique aircraft, and I just love the lines.
 
This is also payware, and models the prototype, but its simply wonderful. Its very very fast with a top speed of 3-1 mph or close, and mixture and prop pitch have to be monitored.Its just a bit demanding but delivers so much..

The Aerostar is the follow up to the aerocommander, which kind of explains its lines..

Approaching England

ORBX TE England South
"Land's End"

It is a nice daytime scenery.
Night time lighting is very poor and disappointing. I hope ORBX can fix that issue.

The An-24 is probably the best large turboprop there is for XP11, although its handling is more akin to brick than a plane.

Best small twin turbo and my standard ride at the moment: The default C90B; here demonstrating a "Uh-oh..." situtation...

After rebuilding the shadercache, 11.30B2 works wonderfully so far. But I think, X-Visibility might have overdone it with the ground fog last time (it was kind of cold though).

Not that I'm complaining though.

Mission Generator, despite the bugs, is well worth the $15 investment. It sends you to the weirdest airstrips, such as one located in northwest Arizona, where this snap was taken.

Too bad default ATC is still buggy and 124th always leaves an ugly overlay for clearance and go-around when tuned to a frequency.

Note: I'm not running XP with or on anything particularly spectacular. i5 4670K @ 4.2, 8 GB DDR2400, GTX1060 OC, external USB3 SSD.

I've tweaked the clouds, sky colors and fog a bit via LUA script.
 
Nice shots. Looking forward to 11.30 as I have to wait for the release version. Bought it through Steam and they don’t do betas.

XP11 Ground handling is pretty neat... I like being able to steer back in an arc. Step up from FSX anyhow.
