Sequoia Falco for X-Plane

Order now and have the most advanced aircraft for X-Plane to date!

FSX Cessna TU206

FSX Cessna TU206. This is a Brian C. Selb's Cessna 206. The Cessna 206 replaced the Cessna 205 of 1962, in a line of aircraft originally produced as utility flying station wagons, descendants of the Cessna 210. Initially known as the Super Skywagon, that name was dropped in 1969, and in 1971 the type was produced as the U206F Stationair, with a new three-bladed prop. Variants included the P206 ("P" for personalized, rather than the standard pressurized), without the cargo door, and with deluxe interior and streamlined wheel spats, and the TU206A, with a turbocharged TSIO-520-C engine. This TU206 turbocharged aircraft includes a 3D and 2D panel for FSX. Also includes history and pictures of the actual aircraft model. Textures by Mark Rooks of RDG Aircraft.

Conformance Test

I've been working on a conformance test for X-Plane. The idea is simple, and not at all mine: X-Plane 945 can output a series of test images that are the same on each run. The images cover a variety of rendering conditions. If a video driver is broken, the images will be corrupted.

You can learn more about how this works here: I am working on the 945 timedemo tarball now.

The main driver for this is to help NVidia, ATI, and Apple to integrate X-Plane into their dedicated testing. With X-Plane as part of their test systems, they can catch driver bugs the easy way - the day after the code is changed, rather than months later after a series of angry web posts. X-plane 945 includes a number of new features as part of its framerate test to help with this process.

My hope is that this will benefit users (who will see less bugs) and the driver writers (who can get feedback on code changes in a uniform and reproducible manner). Here are the eight images in the sample conformance test I wrote, based on the LOWI custom airport scenery.

FS Live Traffic

AirNav Systems is offering their FS Live Traffic as a subscription now. To get the entire world it will set you back some 90 Euros for 6 months. If you don’t want or need all that traffic then you can get the US or Europe separately.

Oh, what it does? “….. No longer your traffic will follow the published schedules of airlines, as first generation AI traffic products did, or optimized schedules for the Microsoft Flight Simulator world – now you will jump into the traffic as it is in real world – your simulation will initiate one minute before you fire up Microsoft Flight Simulator….”.

Get it here at simMarket.
