Im Home Sick Today

Starting to feel better here are a few shots out of bordom...Hey have you heard that the development team who supports the MSFS series is shutting down?

[Ravang]

That's one odd looking aircraft...

Hey have you read the entire thread and article?
Didn't say a thing about MSFS production stopping.
It is simply, delayed. 8-)
But if FS shuts down we have a nice alternative! (Following they fix up the UI a bit......................................................................)

[JSpahn]

Yeah just messing around with you guys a bit.....FSX has a lot of life left in it

[HarvesteR]

might i ask what aircraft is that?

[JSpahn]

Its called the Evenblade...my guess is its fictional... :-/

[pengyman89]

looks fictional, although very similar to the piaggio p180 avanti

[JSpahn]

I have been busy messing with the paint job on this AC...Notice the slight weathering on the wings and the windows....also the clouds don't look that bad once you set them up correctly also notice how the clouds cast shadows

I always under the impression that FSX would support cloud shadows. Guess it's just one more thing to hope for in FSXI.

Beautiful screens mate.

Yeah, it sucks, there aren't any other decent sims out there :-/

[JSpahn]

LOL.... Well at least I know better

[Sean_TK]

Yes, I've never seen an aircraft will all windows tinted to such an extent that you couldn't see inside...

[JSpahn]

Honestly Sean I love fs9 and Im gonna miss many aspects...but Im hopeful those features are gonna make its way into XP....Im done with Windows, long story, and Im not looking back...

As far as flying is concerned Im very impressed with XP, and I have been enjoying flight much more...of course its a case of apples and oranges...and I understand that....

I dont think I'm selling myself short in the screen shot area, the sim is new to me and I have much to learn...you will see well if you want to look....

Yeah the Evenblade is an older AC before windows could be made transparent...so the designer had to be more creative and I think it came out great..You posted a shot with pixelated trees in the JC contest(Im gonna look for a pixelated tree today when I take a walk around the neighborhood..... ) FSX doesn't support cloud shadows or bird strikes...you might say I dont care about that...well, I do ...

XP doesn't have as much support in the 3rd party AC/scenery development as MSFS, but there are a few payware and freeware AC out there that are quite impressive....Im hopeful more designers come aboard...

My cons with the sim are lack of AI, a Flight planner, improved GUI and weather engine....

Just my 2 cents

P.S. Not trying to antagonize at....

[Sean_TK]

Point taken.

I suppose I'm just not used to seeing the vast modeling differences present in this program, but I know your work, and I'm sure that as you compensate for the changes, we'll again see top shots from you.
I guess my initial statement made me sound like an a##, but that was not my intention.

Cloud shadows and bird strikes would certainly be nice in the MSFS world....

And as for the trees....I still don't care for the FS trees with foliage on them, but the winter ones don't look too bad.....IMO.

[JSpahn]

I guess I did kinda take it that way...my bad...problem with the written word is sometimes things are lost in translation...not your bad mine

I think the challenge of making screenies started dying with fs9 for me I need something completely different...

Without as much support for X-Plane I got a hell of a challenge
