Hi All Just before xmas 2010 I sent the latest version of the SOAR Ranch to Don, with a view to release. However the weeks passed and I heard nothing back. After weeks turned to months, I assumed the project had been canned. This despite the very positive response I received from Chris Gordon. I have reproduced his e-mail here: 22-02-2011 Dave, I have finally seen your truly unbelievable work on SOAR Ranch - Correction...I have seen enough to know that there's still so much more to be seen. I can only say that I never even imagined the depth, complexity, and range of coverage tha

Hi All! The development of the SOAR ranch for FSX is comlplete and has been submitted to Don for his acceptance. Here are some screen shots. Merry Xmas!

For anyone watching this topic, I can tell you that I have received permission from Chris Gordan to develope the SOAR Ranch for FSX and that the project is close to completion. I am sure that it will be released in time for Xmas, an exellent Xmas present for SOAR members! Please be patient, Santa is coming!!!

Thanks again Scott. I have PM'd you back.

Thanks for that Scott. I don't want to make it too comlex. But it is currently rather barren. FS9 is rather limited as to scenery design. FSX on the other hand has huge scope. I have played around for most of the day (yeh to much time on my hands) with an FSX version which, if I say so myself, is much more fun to fly around.

Hi all, I would be deply honoured to be aloud to develope the SOAR airstrip. I have great experience in AFCAD developement in both FS9 & FSX. I have noticed a small number of errors and more importantly great scope for development. I would be grateful if someone would contact me via email hermit[AT]supanet.com thanks Dave.

Sorry to see you standing down Chris :cry: But I would add my thanks for your sterling work over the years :respect: SOAR is in safe hands with Don & Karen :AA:

I would be inclined to agree Tom. I have tried the demo on my system and it was awful :vv: We also tried it on a friends "beast" of a system and I can't report much improvement :confused2:

When you say "older gauges", do you mean FS10 will only read .xml gauges? Or do you mean FS10 will still read the older .gau format but just not the realy old stuff?

>>However things are so quite around here don't think anybody is noticing -everyone must be out sunbathing - at least in Europe? You bet.. 36c yesterday, the roads are melting and rail tracks buckling here in the UK >>Another thing wonder how many FSX compatiable gliders there'll be? I was wondering how backward compatable FS10 will be with FS9 a/c? >>Hmmm, I wonder if in the mulit sessions, if a user can tow another user? Since it's now possible to replicate air 2 air refueling in multiplayer (extending booms/drouges), then towing should be possible also?

Forgive me if I don't get to exited. >>tow planes for the gliders, and realistic thermals ... :AA: >>TWO versions of FSX, and a trial option ... Back to a Pro and Standard versions :vv: >>'missions' to add a 'game' element ... :???: Zzzzzz >>Tower Control - guide other on-line players ... :ok: >>SDK included in the (pro) product ... :ok: Generaly of limited use >>Share a cockpit ... :confused2: Already available >>updated audio system (mix with speakers AND headset) ... :yahoo: About time to! >>moving traffic on the roads .
