Yeah the cloud shadows are amazing, the shaders in Lockheed Martin Prepar3d are amazing. I'll have new screenshots in coming days. Nevada is rendering off now and California is slowly getting underway as well.

<t>After 8 years of development Ultimate VFR enhanced photoscenery for Lockheed Martin Prepar3d is about to start rolling out.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Our new scenery will include:<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> 1.2m Per Pixel Aerial Imagery (Photoscenery)<br/> Night Lighting FX<br/> Autogen Vegetation<br/> ...

I hate to rain on your parade but doesn't FS Earth Tiles illegally rip tiled imagery from Google, Yahoo and Bing servers in contravention of the End User License Agreements for each service?

Doesn't FSEarthTiles rip imagery illegally from sites such as Yahoo, Bing and Google?

<t>Just wondering what the chances of resample.exe being able to be upgraded to 32 bit or even 64 bit?<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Currently it's very limited at 16 bit with a maximum of 16 bit BGL's being created (i.e. limited to 2GB) for aerial imagery. This makes the process very slow and limiting.<br...

Thanks Paavo for the info, will see if there's some good data available and share if I can get something together.

<t>I just remembered an old bug that has been in the platform since at least FS2000.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Time zones in the platform are quite inaccurate in places and I haven't found anywhere in the FSxxxx SDK's about being able to generate new time zones. There was a guy who had made some patche...

Just wanted to say Happy New Year. I'm back from vacation in the Philippines and looking forward to catching up with what's been happening with Prepar3d, holla at me if I missed replying to an email.

<t>The other issues with TileProxy are that they break the EULA for the map servers and contravenes the agreement that companies like Digital Globe have with these online map services. They're exclusive contracts with the map services and the EULA's for them specifically state that they are only to ...

<t>Hey Dave,<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Your post does make sense and it is very sensible. I for one appreciate the dialog.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> For me I've found that development for P3D is a lot easier than FSX due to the blue water hue in FSX which wreaks havoc on aerial imagery.<br/> <br/> <br/> <...

<t>Market forces tend to dictate pricing structures. If a commercial version of an add-on has 10-1000 times fewer customers, it's not feasible if a developer spends 10-100x more to develop it than can be recouped through sales.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> With FSX there is a market of hundreds of thousan...

<r>Hey Guys,<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> I have a couple of questions following on from reading some other posts.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> John you mentioned a possible plan to bump more of the workload off the CPU and onto the GPU. Would this per chance be something that could involve support for CUDA tec...

<r>Awesome. thanks John, it's good to know <E>:)</E><br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> BTW I'm going to have to get a full seat of P3D as well besides the dev licence as I'm enjoying testing things out so much I want to ditch FSX and have as my own system P3D, the frame rates and renderings are so much better ...

<r>I'm just wondering if the main interface (ala FSX style) where you can load up the platform and then set up your scenario like aircraft, location, flightplanner, weather, time and season might be on the drawing board.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> With the current version, it loads straight into a defau...
