Readers of this site know that over the past few months I’ve transitioned nearly entirely from Prepar3D 3.4 to X-Plane 11. I’ve done so having spent a significant amount of money on Prepar3D add-ons: The A2A 172, 182, Piper Cherokee, and Piper Comanche Various Carenado aircraft, my favorite being the Cessna 177 Cardinal ORBX Vector,…

Folks seem to be liking the idea of the forums, and quite of few of you have signed on for permissions. If you didn’t get your confirmation email, note that your spam filter may have caught it. To make it easier I approved those of you who had approvals outstanding, so you should be good…

Now that I’ve put up a few custom X-Plane airports I’ve been going back and creating versions that use only default X-Plane objects and textures and submitting them to the X-Plane Scenery Gateway.

REX has its Worldwide Airports HD texture package 50% off until this Monday. I have this for Prepar3D and like it. While it’s not revolutionary, it does transform default airport buildings into a much more modern and higher-quality look, and includes some full airports (like KSLC) in the process. Prior REX customers get 20% off as well.

Sim forums have been ripe with speculation that Lockheed Martin is working on a 64-bit version of Prepar3D for many months now, but in recent weeks the intensity has increased to the point of suggesting a new version is already in beta. It may be, and I hope so, as a 64-bit sim based on…

I just generated an ortho tile for the Bonners Ferry area. Wowzer, does that strip now look great …
