The two-part series Society Islands XP will be continued – and that very soon!
After the release of the first part Bora Bora & Leeward Islands, Maps2XPlane focused past year the development of the second part Tahiti & Windward Islands. And that development is almost finished!
starting today with the landscape:
As you know, the Society Islands in the South Pacific Ocean are geographically divided into two groups: The Leeward Islands and the Windward Islands. The latter are covered by the second part of Society Islands XP, namely: Tahiti, Moorea, Tetiaroa, Maiao and Mehetia. These islands are featured in the scenery package with a custom terrain mesh with photo-realistic textures:
The terrain mesh is co mplemented with custom overlays: dense vegetation and country-typical autogen, as well as custom road-networks and sea-routes with dynamic traffic.
Last but not least, a word on compatibility: After some deliberation, we decided that the initial version of the scenery pack should not only be usable in X-Plane 12, but still be compatible with X-Plane 11. It is planned, that this initial release follows an XP12-specific update, which will then also make use of new, exclusive XP12-features – as soon as X-Plane 12 is in a more advanced stage!

After the successful release of the SeaRey, our next general aviation project is called: Tecnam P2006T MKII
This is a Rotax twin-prop in the latest design with a G1000 and other bells and whistles.
The feature list is extended again compared to the Searey. In addition to a very nice 3D model and actual paintings, dynamic animations are added, such as weight-controlled visual loading (pax and cargo!). Also included is the tried and tested tablet with additional functions. The interactive walk-around featured in the Searey will also be implemented, including tie-down, chocks, pitot cover, etc.
The flight model is already a lot of fun. A real pilot and physics expert has let off steam here. The only thing missing now is a soundset, which we will record ourselves thanks to access to the original aircraft.
And as a little bonus, we want to simulate an electric aircraft tug so that you can hang and unhang the machine yourself.
The project is currently at about 75%, we are aiming for a release in early 2023. We will keep you up to date regularly.

The beta test of SeaRey for MSFS is now almost finished, all problems have been fixed as best as possible. However, it turned out that the sound was not sufficient for our quality requirements. Therefore we are currently working on a completely new individual sound set. As soon as this is complete, we will be able to release the aircraft.
The feature list has also changed:
Light Edition
- Realistic replica of the Searey Amphibian LSA
- Impressively detailed 3D model, inside and outside
- Multiple real world liveries included
- Custom realistic sound set
-
Supporting native MSFS technologies like
- Windshield rain effect
- High-resolution PBR textures

- Garmin InReach
- EIS 4000
- GTX320
- IC-A200
- Custom electrical and fuel pump logic to reflect the real operation of the top-mounted backward-facing engine
-
Several special features such as:
- Dynamic registration on liveries
- Custom yaw string animation
- Simulated autopilot to hold altitude/heading/gps course new!
- Anchor simulation to keep aircraft position in water new!
Advanced Edition
- Realistic replica of the Searey Amphibian LSA including homebuild experimental version

Finally, the first aircraft from FlightSim Studio has now entered beta. There will be a Light Version and a Advanced Version of the airplane. There are small but significant differences between the Light and Advanced versions. Essentially, the Advanced version includes two aircraft versions, plus the tablet with all its features. To compensate for this, the Light version will come with a very attractive price.
Light Edition
- Realistic replica of the Searey Amphibian LSA
- Impressively detailed 3D model, inside and outside
- Multiple real world liveries included
- Integrated flightplan route direction indicator (Garmin inReach mini)
- Multiple custom-coded instruments like, EIS 4000, GTX320, IC-A200
- Custom electrical and fuel pump logic to reflect the real operation of the top-mounted backward-facing engine
- In-game checklist including custom camera positions and action item highlighting
- Several special features such as: dynamic registration on liveries, custom yaw string animation, simulated autopilot to hold altitude/heading/gps course

At first..we need time to resolve a problem. the problem here is, that it is a brandnew installer plattform (for X-Plane Installer)and we never had this kind of problems before.
So to your problem.....
Please try following if you are using Windows XP.
Rename this file
c:\Programme\Zero G Registry\.com.zerog.registry.xml -> c:\Programme\Zero G Registry\.com.zerog.registry.bak
and try the installation again
Please try following if you are using Windows Vista/7.
Rename this file
c:\Program Files (x86)\Zero G Registry\.com.zerog.registry.xml -> c:\Program Files (x86)\Zero G Registry\.com.zerog.registry.bak
and try the installation again

A short text about the trip to Oshkosh...have fun
19.07.2012 - 22:01
It's time to prepare everything for the big trip...packing the luggage -> omg that's boring but okay nearly done...all the paperwork (esta, tickets, car) -> done....all the aerosoft stuff we have to take with us -> will be done tomorrow.
okay nearly ready, that's cool. So now it's time to relax and prepare for the last day in the office tomorrow.
21.07.2012 - 11:00
Finally we got to the airport… what a trip
somebody left his luggage in the train station at Düsseldorf airport and the police was on alert. Tim didn't see the luggage and he just tried to walk through the circle of police officers around the luggage when a police officer stopped him….it was funny to see it 
But now we have to fight against our fear of flying with the last german beer for two weeks
i'm kidding…we are just searching for reason to drink a beer at 11 o'clock in the morning 21.7.2012 - Time? i don't know
Somewhere over the ocean….still over 3 hours to go and i can't sit anymore but the service onboard is actually really good (nice stewardess, nice food, nice drinks)
21.7.2012 - 16:00
we made it…finally we landed to Chicago (it was a hard landing and the airline will have to pay twice for the landing
Next step, get the car and drive the 3 hours to Oshkosh.21.7.2012 - 20:15
Task completed. After a long drive we arrived in Oshkosh. It is a really nice city and for the first time we saw a baseball match, okay it was a kids baseball match but it was nice to see.
22.7.2012
wow what a day and what a big show here in Oshkosh. the plan for today was to finish up the booth and take a short walk over the show area….a short walk???? man, it's incredible how big the show is, it's really impressing. After finishing everything, austin showed us his new plane…oh man what a beauty. It's a Lancair Evolution (Austin calls it the r-evolution because of the new engine inside). This plane has 850 hp and a max speed of 320kts, that's what i call fast
23.7.2012
the first day of EAA AirVenture is over. What a day, i really feel like a piece of butter in the sun. It was definitely too hot but the show was just brilliant. oh i have to go, it's dinner time.
28.7.2012
Nearly the whole EAA AirVenture is over and i hadn't so much time to write this text. What i can say to every person who likes flying…plan a trip to EAA AirVenture 2013…it worth it. You will see thousands of airplanes and you can meet people of so many different countries.
Tonight was the airshow at night. That was f…… amazing. You will never see this in germany or europe. wow
i will attach some photos I almost forgot it…Tim and me met Kirby Chambliss and we had a short talk with him about X-Plane, that was awesome. Did anyone see him at RedBull AirRace?
29.7.2012
So today is the last day. It's sad but the next adventure is waiting (see pic)
It was one of my greatest trips and vacations…i hope i can fly again to Oshkosh next year. And again to the people who never went to Oshkosh….come to Oshkosh next year and you will have one your greatest moments you will never see such a huge show elsewhere.Now it's time for some pictures.
