Thank you Ben, I do appologies and I will not of course post any such comments again. I will redirect my bug report to the appropriate email. Thanks for emphasizing this again as I have not seen such message before. Point taken!

Please amend the previous post or delete it 🙂 But besides that I do hope will be seeing some winter landscapes in X-plane in the future. Good luck with the development, you do a fine job and I read your blog with the up most enjoyment.

Regards from
Norway

Hi Tom,

I have said this before but I must say it again.

THIS IS NOT A BUG REPORT FORM.

Anything that is wrong with the sim (like landing lights not lighting up the runway) will be IGNORED if you post it to the blog. Post a bug or we don’t know about it.

Seriously, we _never_ look back over the blog for anything that even remotely looks like a bug report.

It needs to be done at some point – the sim runs at 720p now, but the weather window spills off the bottom.

Winter textures
– No winter textures is shown at all

A tool for correcting the curved runways
– Several have to jagged runways, several places there are jumps in the runway

Landing lights Beech 58
– Does not aluminate the runway escpecially good

Engine fire at 3000 feet when flying from ENKJ to Oslo down town
– This is an ongoing occurance, when ever I fly this route I get engine fire, even with the settings of or all working

More options for adjusting the clouds
– There are now just one slider for quality, but It should have been
1. One for how much layers you want to render
2. One for quality
3. Size

Multiplayer
It seems that when on multiplayer the clouds starts to flicker with rapidietly motions.
On – Off – On – Off ….

But I´m still wondering if the shadow rendering is how it should be. In the VC shadows move when moving the view (not plausible, isn’t it?), also some strange flickering on the interior and abrupt light changes with clouds. To be honest: I can run globel medium shadows performance-wise, but I don’t because it looks rather irritating most of the time. Is it just me, the video-card-driver or is the shadow system still a workzone?
Sorry if I missed a former blog-entry on this matter…

Regards
Flo

About revising the GUI. Is 720p support still on your todo list? Looks like the main reason why this resolution doesn’t work currently is because the GUI is hard-coded for 768 pixels.

Beta

There is now an X-Plane 10 patch: 10.04B4 available for download.

just might help to stay up to date and maybe title a final patch as “final” 10.03 final, 10.04 final. So everyone knows 100% that it is done, not a candidate.

These are minute details likely in your guys’s minds, understandable but still important to keep current. Regardless, fixing bugs and performance still comes first so whatever. water shaders and clouds still need work also.

Not the ones I was referring to, no.
Scroll-wheel manipulation may be addressed at some point in the future, but the UI in question was simulator UI, not airplane UI.
