In reply to Jackie. Scenery was recut during the initial 11.00 beta run, but has not been modified since. I don't believe we have another recut planned at this time either. 11.05 is designed mainly to get the backlog of new Gateway airports out. If you need to know which airports are updated in that, the release notes page will have a link to the list.

Hi, can you provide a list of touched files (add/change/delete) for future updates? The reason I am asking is that I am using Ortho4XP which requires base .dsf files to generate overlays. For example, once 11.05 is available, I assume there will be a huge update on scenery files which means I need to regenerate overlays for changed tiles as well. Without the list of touched files, I have to generate everything again but if you can provide a file change list, it will help me a lot. Thanks!

someone asked about landmarks above, but which version they are coming in was not made clear. Any update to this? i.e. still summer and will all landmarks shown in the sim conference release together?

lastly- will these landmarks be stand alone files, where we can remove them if we want assuming we have custom scenery already showing such object

Hi, Since the version 10 I noticed that the cloud coverage of “real weather” are bigger then “manual assigned”, but after the last updates, I noticed also that the visibility at high altitude with “real weather” are reduced (terrain and clouds distance) in comparasion with “manual assigned weather”, resulting on a less vivid sky at highers altitudes(too much fog). Is this an intentional behavior to improve performance, or maybe a bug caused by the new dataref (fog_be_gone)?
Should I fill a bug?
Recently I filled a bug of different “skycolors ratios” between the real weather and manually assigned at same weather conditions, but I don´t want spam your bug database if this is something you already know.

I was in touch with Philipp three days ago on an SDK issue. Please don’t tell me I caught him on his honeymoon! (Welll….okay. If you must… 😉 )

In reply to Alexander John.

11.02’s basically done – the only reason it lasted this long is we had to work around Philipp being OOTO. 11.05 will be short – just airports and 1 or 2 bug fixes, so 11.10 will be summer too.

I hope EVERY beta will be two weeks – hope springs eternal! 😉
