great job, my point of view is the next updates should cover 3d water, seasons and maybe a new one shader vc rain and snow. light reflections on a wet track should be cool … this would Xplane 10 on top
Ps sorry for my bad English

Nice work! I love that XP is constantly in development.

I’m really hoping you guys go to a digital distribution model. I just had to reinstall from the discs and it’s such a pain with that many discs! Also a lot of people say they’d get XP but they dont want to do the mail order thing for some reason.

I’m a big fan of buying things on Steam but I can understand you wanting to keep your independence from Valve or similar.

I would for sure be exited to see seasonal textures in XP. As far as I know they have never before existed in XP? As a development consept I would think this type of feature are both complicated and/or even difficult to implement in a way that it looks realistic or plausible! Sadly I think as realistic or plausible XP is now, it looses some of its “simulation” value when the only weather we see is rain and the only thing we feel is wind (purhaps icing to if not remembering this wrong).

I maybe way of in my assesment but I feel there should be bore to it than this.
So if my English serves me correct and I do hope will see snow in our beloved sim sometimes in the future either by LR or by third party vendors.

Good luck with the development and thank you once again for sharing this window into your world Ben!

In reply to gercarst. We haven't decided how we will distribute new DSFs yet.

In reply to Flying_pig. wiki.x-plane.com/beta has a complete list of ICAOs in the release notes.

Hi Ben, great news as usual, only I have one doubt… The DSF recuts you refer to are actually new DSFs using latest road map from OpenStreetMap?
If yes, is there some future plan to do an “auto updater” so we can see more frequently reflected in-sim the OSM changes/fixes?

Regards,
Jerry C.

I’m really glad that Xplane is always evolving and in my opinion it is always better. But the update from 10:22 to 10:25 at the moment takes another 25 hours and probably more, with an rate of 11kbits at an internet connection of 30Mbit ^^
Sorry guys but what is going up with the server?

Ben, could you add a list of the regions where the lego brick airports were added (since obviously a entire list would take too long to right) so that users don’t have to guess and check when they finish downloading the patch? also if there just distributed across the entire world evenly then sorry, I didn’t know still waiting for the patch to install.

In reply to Carsten Jenning.

Yep -I’m going to link to that next, but I wanted to get 10.25 “final” so people didn’t need to get a beta to run the add-on.

(Alpilotx’s meshes _require_ 10.25, because they have Albert’s latest terrain.)
