I’ll throw my hat in the ring also if you need any beta testing done in the future.

This has been raised before. I have it installed and don’t notice much of an improvement in all honesty.
-
Expanded regions and the 777 make this a worthwhile upgrade imho. The overall experience isn't much different but there is some increased system depth and I believe you can shut down the turboprops.

Given we have a very good representation available for the UK thanks to IZ0JUB & TomSimMuc, I would love for Orbx to release one or two of their UK airports as a tester. Having the likes of Edinburgh, Cardiff and London City would create a great base for the UK. I realise there are commercial reasons for their current development strategy and I have no idea of the level of effort involved in porting these current airports to AF2 but doing so may spark an uptake of their product and AF2 in general which could make TEGB more of a viable future implementation. This also makes sense if it is true that development has not been cancelled for this region.

This does look impressive and I hope you guys get traction the but the existing Paris freeware may impact that to an extent. A little disappointed that there is no more in the way of major airports to differentiate between the two products.
-
The ones from Larrylynx, I presume? I'll check them out. If I like them I might take off anywhere but only land on one of those two...
EDIT
I see it's a rar file and I don't like installing software just to unzip one rar: I'll download and unrar it when I am at work and give them a try next week.
Yes, that's the ones. Well worth installing.

I know what you mean but that maybe isn’t a bad thing. It helps to give the scenery depth. If the trees blended in too much to the imagery then they wouldn’t have the same impact unless you were sitting on the ground.

Okay... I did my first official flight from Liverpool to Heathrow and while cruising the scenery looked very nice! However, taking off but specially landing was awful... Heathrow is completely flat... Landing should be the grand final of the flight but now it is the grand let down LOL Are there any good looking airports for GB (so NOT FSCloud ones)?
At the moment, Liverpool and Leeds Bradford. Very well done.

I have followed the above directions Jet-Pack (IPACS), unfortunately it is not working and does not produce a repaint. Using the repaint.tmr works, but the options.tmc does not.
The version of the Aircraft Converter is 1.4.0 Build 1704 which I believe is the current version?
I'm the same. Tried copying an existing TMC file instead of the TMR file and updates the description for the new repaint. Aircraft converter goes straight to done and nothing is created.
-
The main airports/regions I would suggest would be Aberdeen, Inverness, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Prestwick, Newcastle, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bradford, Manchester, Cardiff, London Heathrow, London Gatwick, London Luton, London Stanstead.
That should give you a nice spread.
-
There are tons on FSCloudPort as you will be aware but I think the more fleshed out Liverpool and Bradford airports should be a definite entry point. Also, the upcoming Edinburgh airport but that may still be a long way off.
if you want a good quality scenery though, you absolutely should download IZ0JUB's GB as it is very well done, regardless of how many suitable airports are available.

Can I make a suggestion on the teasers. Since you are deliberately not giving much away in the images to hide the location, perhaps you can share descriptive teasers instead such as the kinds of content in the region, what will set it apart, what kind of detail will be included etc. Or smaller, visual teasers showing the level of detail or workmanship involved without showing full scenes masked by draw distance fog etc.?
-
We're gonna need a bigger hard drive...
-
The repaint.tmr is also a legacy file, you should use the new options.tmc if possible.
Instead of dashes or hyphens you can use underscores.
Hi Jan,
Where can we get the options.tmc file? I've downloaded 3 of the SDKs recently and they all had the repaint.tmr file.
Also, is there plans for more SDKs such as A320 and others?
Cheers, Andy.

That's already looking nice! Could be an awesome location!

I'm available to assist with editing images. I'll also look into cultivation - never done that piece yet.

Thank you for your kind words and offer of a donation. Please pass it on to "Higgy" to keep the Flight-sim.org server running as without this I would not be able to share my work.
Yup, already did this last night! The hosting is appreciated as much as the time of the creators!

Thanks Andy, I have made the Channel Islands many times for FSX and P3D so I will look to doing it again for the FS 2 community this time in higher resolution photo scenery as its only two size 9 tiles for Guernsey and Jersey.
Cheers Michael.
Thanks Michael. If you are looking for any image editing assistance then please reach out.

Hi "donka",
I'm looking at the Channel Islands as the next project, what other islands did you have in mind?
Cheers Michael.
Hi Michael,
I was just teasing on the other islands - if you consider the british commonwealth then you have the likes of the Caribbean, islands in the Pacific, even Australia etc.
On a serious note though, the Channel Islands would be a great option given the proximity to UK and mainland Europe.
Cheers, Andy.

It certainly does - thank you!
