Compatibility default FSX aiports AES 2.0

[ApacheHunter 0]

Will the default airports of FSX be compatible with FSX's version of AES? Because that would make the product much more attracting since there aren't any add-on sceneries for some very interesting airports, like for example Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.

To be honestly, if the default airports won't be supported, the product won't make much sense to me as I often fly from Schiphol to many other default FSX airports.

Thanks in advance for you reply!

I do not know! But my guess is no. I would however like to see the jetways work at some of the FSX Aerosoft airports I have. And the support vehicles like catering trucks! I also wish AES was more user-friendly! It is hard to understand with the unlocking of credits. All Aerosoft airports you purchase should be supported by AES!

In the first Step, AES will support Airports in FSX, where the Scenerydesign is also the "same" as in FS9, like GAP2, MAF, Simwings Heathrow and Paris, some Imaginesims and so on. Native FSX airports will follow.

How about that last sentence then? I found it here.

Great news --but when will we see AES for FSX?

Alright I’ll shake my head at this one.

Will the default airports of FSX be compatible with FSX's version of AES?

WHY??? You realize there are over some 24,000 airports in FSX.

Which ones get done?

Would it make sense to make a default and add-on AES'd airport?

Because that would make the product much more attracting since there aren't any add-on sceneries for some very interesting airports, like for example Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.

Really?? You realize your on the Aerosoft website right? Go look at the sceneries for FSX, Look pretty interesting to me.

And you know they're making a FSX EHAM right?

To be honestly, if the default airports won't be supported, the product won't make much sense to me as I often fly from Schiphol to many other default FSX airports.

Again really? Go purchase some add-on scenery, Add some environment add-ons. And I guarantee you won't fly into another default airport again.

Cheers

I wasn't really asking anyone to shake his/her head on this one! I was just looking for an answer, but however: yes, I do know I'm on the Aerosoft website. The fact that I don't build add-ons myself, doesn't mean I'm a total dumbhead! As far as I can see, they don't sell an add-on for EHAM at this moment!

I do have sceneries installed - also from Aerosoft - but I just like to fly from EHAM, so I use the default scenery.

Luckily there is a useful thing to read in your message and that's the fact (I suppose it really is a fact?!) that Aerosoft is working on an add-on for Schiphol at the moment.

Is there anyone who is going to answer my question, anyway? (If not, you'd better leave this topic alone)

Thanks!

Native and default are two different things. We only got one default airport AES'd in FS9. I wouldn't expect more in FSX, unless you want to buy credits to activate them.

What's the meaning of that last sentence then? What are they saying about native airports?

[Bruce Hamilton 97]

To me, native implies specific to FSX... A good example would be the Aerosoft F-16, or FSDreamteams Point of Interest, neither one of these are available for other versions like FS9. If Microsoft included airports in FSX that were not previously available, those would be considered native.

What's the meaning of that last sentence then? What are they saying about native airports?

A default aircraft, scenery, or airport is one that Microsoft included with the simulator platform from the factory release.

When we refer to a native aircraft, scenery, or airport we are usually talking about a third party add-on that has been developed using the SDK that is specific for a simulator platform. For example, the Aerosoft F-16 was developed specifically for the FSX Flight Simulator platform. Therefore the Aerosoft F-16 is considered native to FSX.

Many thanks for your explanations! Now I'm just hoping that AES 2.0 will arrive soon and that there will become an EHAM scenery for FSX available soon. Then I'm a happy simmer!

Hallo,

The "native" in the sentence is maybe miss used (I am not native english speaker), I mean "FSX ONLY" in this case.

We will have many airports in AES 2.0, which are FS9 and FSX compatible in the same Scenery Product, like GAP Airports, Simwings EGLL or LFPG and some others like Imaginesim.

But, there are some (not much yet) which are only availble for FSX, like Aerosoft Madeira. This was what I mean with "native FSX"

Default airports will never been part of AES created airports, because they are mostly (99,9%) simple implemented, no realistic groundlayout (positions and Taxiways), no will placed Buildings and so on. All this is needed to have a realistic AES support here and it makes no sence to spend much time in the implementation for a non realistic result.

Maybe, when I found the time, a future version will make it possible to implement a airport with a "reduced" functionality by the users themself, where for example only default FSX jetways will be replaced by AES animated once and the pushback is calculated more or less automatically, maybe never accurate as it is in AES Implemetations.
