Hawaii Leaks

This is a deep insight into the internal communications of the team.

It demonstrates how hard and seriously the team is working to get this job done.

Reliable sources say, the 2 leaked images were created by a ###jockey###

Hi all,

I hope the team members will use more of their free time to do things with friends and family after the first release....

Peter,

the problem is, we are full of ideas and can start already 10 more projects.

But perhaps we should follow your advice

Thanks

There will be no milk on Hawaii due to low flying jets

Tata!!!

Your price is a sightseeing flight around most beautiful Hawaii!!!

Isn't that fantastic???

Of course in this great simulator called aerofly.

Oh, you do this every day?

You're already a lucky man!

Thanks for your friendship

Do you know the aerofly FS wiki ?

I think, it's more focussed to the PC version, but it may help you in some aspects.

Hey man,

one and a half year with aerofly and only recently your first posts? You could have been more active here

No, actually all flight simmers know about MSFS, and some of us are even in the alpha and beta program.

MSFS will be a burner anyway, it doesn't need additional advertising right now. Many of us have already several flight sims and will have this as well.

So why not using different sims for different preferences? Let's discuss here about aerofly.

No offense

Ok tup61,

you have now 3 posts where you declare aerofly as dead and we should look into MSFS.

We got it now and you may forgive us, that we still have fun with aerofly.

This is a very active and friendly forum, but we care about what we have and what we can do right now with the existing tools.

I'm currently preparing a library of static gliders.

Will be available within the next few days.

I don't know, whether Phil can use them, but alternatively we can place them manually.

Oh,

good hint!!!

We'll have to shift the release again...

Hartman

thanks for all your work on this beautiful country.

This is the current version. Just unpack the directory 'hafrsfjord_swords' to the norway places directory.

The swords are 50% bigger than the original to make them clearly visible.

hafrsfjord_swords.zip

I could not resist and did a quick and dirty 3D model.

If this is of use for your scenery, I will provide this with pleasure.

There is even another package of the Iberian Peninsula, limited to lv 09 - 12.

Taking into accout that also the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands are available, Spain seems to be covered very well...

As Trespassers assumes, it may work the same way in AC3D as in 3DSMax, because renaming is done before exporting to TGI.

Tom,

I think psionmark catched us.

How can we go on with other niiice screenshots now?

This was the original image, only slightly reworked....

#2

Larry, the CH53E is a monster!

Let's see, where the polygons are...

What an incredible work!

Kennst du diesen Link?

https://www.ikarus.net/rc8-userscenes/

Da sind zwar nicht unbedingt deine gewünschten Szenerien enthalten, dafür einige andere richtig tolle Landschaften.
Als user kannst du die rc7 Szenen nicht im rc8 verwenden, das Umsetzen ist möglich, muss aber der Entwickler machen.

Uli,

draw your mesh always at height 0, aerofly will automatically insert it into the ground mesh.

Make sure, autoheight is switched on in the TSC.

The mesh sizes don't have to be the same.

...AC3 is to complexe to made a correct Mesh at Airport.

Hi Uli,

in fact it has been proven, that it is not too complex:

But of course you have to learn the tool as we all have to do for other sw like blender, gimp paintshop etc.

This is the AC3D way:

1. Actually Antoine is correct, there is no weighting of vertices.

2. The aerofly converter supports 2 ground meshes with a required naming:

__airport__outside with average flattening

__airport__runway with strong flattening

3. You have to use the aerofly exporter inside AC3D to get the correct result.

The nice feature is, that these meshes fit smoothly into the aerofly elevation mesh.

But I like your approach, to find another ways and that you don't give up too early.

So try this idea:

Create a flat mesh without texture, name it edxw__airport__runway
Attention: Double underscores! _ _ between the names
Call this in the tsc:

        <[list_tmsimulator_scenery_object][objects][]
            <[tmsimulator_scenery_object][element][0]
                <[string8][type][ground]>
                <[string8][geometry][edxw__airport__runway]>
                <[vector3_float64][position][........ 0]>
                <[float64][orientation][0]>
                <[int32][autoheight_override][-1]>
            >
            <[tmsimulator_scenery_object][element][0]
                <[string8][type][object]>
                <[string8][geometry][edxw_runway_textured]>
                <[vector3_float64][position][........ 0.1]>
                <[float64][orientation][0]>
                <[int32][autoheight_override][-1]>
            >
        >

Next create a mesh with texture, call it as an object in the tsc as well and hope, that it works.

Naming doesn't matter for this object.

Possible problems:

Does modelconverter transfer the mesh at height 0?

Pay attention that the max texture size is 4096x4096 for your airport runway.

Ray has so many stories to tell from his life! It's always a pleasure to read them, I really love this. Thanks Ray
