Comments on: The Shady Side of Chicago (The Road Map For Airports) https:/2011/12/the-shady-side-of-chicago-the-road-map-for-airports/ Developer resources for the X-Plane flight simulator Mon, 19 Dec 2011 00:05:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.1 By: Sir https:/2011/12/the-shady-side-of-chicago-the-road-map-for-airports/#comment-3744 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 00:05:10 +0000 http://www.x-plane.com/blog/?p=3872#comment-3744 I think you should go with the third. I think some more input is better, though- I don’t have much experience. Any help?

Not on the blog please. Email each other directly, or email info@x-plane.com.

Sorry to be OT, but Luke you’ve received your discs in Australia? I ordered on opening day and still waiting… How long did they take for you to come?

The high ram levels will not be of massive assistance at the moment – see the recent posts on the projected move to 64bit Xplane. I know that i7-2600 is considered the bee’s knees at the moment & I cannot see you doing better, but just make sure you go with 64 bit windows 7.

I think there are probably bugs. The autogen are defined as blocks (baked into the DSFs) and the buildings are dynamically fit into the blocks by X-Plane. But that’s moot – whether part of the process is x-plane or it’s baked, exclusion zones should remove buildings. I’ll pick up the bug report when it comes through and fix it.

I’ve filed several bug reports about exclusion zones not excluding some of the autogen objects. Now I’m confused because from what you wrote in one of the first paragraphs, the autogen is baked in to the def. does this mean that exclusion zones will not affect autogen? or is the exclusion zone not working correctly in X-Plane? or is it the fact that I’m using WED 1.1b4 the reason.

Just curious because I don’t want to waste my time (or yours) filling bug reports.

Thanks.

Will any of these computers be able to run x-plane on extremely high graphics (too many objects, AA, HDR, etc.)?

Thanks for your help- they all have i7-2600 processors, 1.5 TB HDs, and from 8-10 GB RAM. The GPUs are different: Radeon HD 6750, then NVIDIA GeForce 550 TI, and the ultimate Radeon HD 6850.

Was described in quite some detail in my interview over at the xplane10s Blog. So, I can still recommend to read that (helps to understand some basic concepts of the scenery system :-):

Please file a bug. A good bug for this would include a pic of the airport in the sim (full res), a link to the real thing on OSM (you can make an OSM permalink) and the ICAO code.

Some data is “in stone” (well, in DSF) but some is at runtime. I haven’t gotten to a post about this, but some of the most visible artifacts in cities currently are all a question of more art assets.
