Don X Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 why the choice of Valencia, when there is already a payware version available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vezirgiannis Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Hello fellow flight Simmers!

First of all, we have contract with LatinWings to convert all their sceneries to X-Plane. Second, I don't see why this is a problem. I think more options are better.

x plane 123 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Looks good! Any plans to collaborate with some FSX developers whose name doesn't start with Latin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not designed, happened, since the do have a relationship (the 2 Latins...!). At this point we are overwhelmed with those 2 and our own projects. But if someone is interested, we will not say no! On 4/8/2017 at 4:06 AM, YYZatcboy said: I hope this one will get... Wider distribution... than the last one. These kind of things are team decisions, fully NDA-covered.

But this is not always possible to avoid to bump on another similar development. For example...on Feb 2015 we announced KORD, but later on December Nimbus announced theirs, and released it. Should we stop work on something, because someone have done it before of after? No. We have our plans, we are working to create the best possible. Crossing with others is unavoidable.

jaguado Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Will it have a sloped runway, or will it be flat? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaguado Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Flat runway is a killer for me. I own the prepar3d version and I love it, but I also have the dai media scenery LEVC for Xplane, and that one doesn’t have a flat runway, even IF the modelling isn’t as good as yours. UK2000 has done EGBB also with a flat runway... even though the real counterpart has a runway that looks like a rollercoaster. I really don’t understand why it’s so difficult when there are plenty of developers out there doing sloped runways... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don’t understand why it’s so difficult when there are plenty of developers out there doing sloped runways... As everything in life, here also a compromise was required. First of all, as you will see in the images below, X-Plane's "non-flat" runway is nowhere close to the real runway, which almost flat. So having the runway flat is not deduct from the experience, in the contrary, enhances it. Second, since we are working with given artwork built for another simulator, obviously there are things that cannot be fitted perfect in X-Plane. Third, we avoid as much as possible mesh editing, because this takes down the whole dsf tile, prohibiting any use of orthophoto package (ie Ortho4XP, or SpainUHD in that case). Fourth, in relation with the first, height data is sometimes too problematic, to be possible to solve it otherwise. For example in our Manchester airport, the terminals protruding the apron, was translated as height points creating a situation that the height differences was so great, that was impossible to setup and object and look right. Have a look at a real video too, to see yourself what is more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaguado Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I have the other LEVC and Spain UHD, and Valencia 3D no problem. Any contour to the runway will be better than no contour. But that’s fine, this is just my opinion. A lot of peoole prefer flat runways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten-HH Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Well you can use a custom mesh with ortho4xp you just have to reference to the specific dsf file of the 3rd party scenery... Besides this it is a great scenery and best you could achieve with a conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no time to actually use Ortho4XP, so I'm might be wrong here. Can you provide me any reference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten-HH Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 It should be yes but never tried it. You can define a .dsf tile in the section "Build Overlays". If you select the custom dsf with a modified mesh it should use this mesh as base for the ortho tile. EDIT: Tried it with our Calvi scenery but it's not working. However I have got a german tutorial where it says that it is possible to include the HD Mesh as base. Therefore I thought it should be possible with a custom mesh file as well...
