  1. Thanks for this scenery, it really looks awsome. I'm definetely going to buy it.

    Btw, i somehow remember that i would have once given you a suggestion to build a scenery of Niagara Falls... ;)

    I have now a new little suggestion for the future. This scenery and ManhattanX are real helicopter sceneries because

    of very detailed scenery and because helicopter sightseeings are done in real life in both locations.

    It's just really hard to find suitable paints for FSX choppers. It would be a really good addition to this

    kind of scenery to get a local paintscheme for some chopper to be used in the scenery. I would even pay

    a couple of euros more to get that paint with the scenery.

    In this case the paint could be for instance Rainbow Copters and for NY Helicopter Flight Service.

    Even it would be ok to me if the paints would be for the default FSX Bell 206 instead of Bell 407

    (i think there is no Bell 407 for FSX).

  2. Now when Flight1 is finishing their BN Islander, it grows my interest to fly

    again in nothern Germany. :)

    I have already Helgoland X and Island Hopping.

    But how well does VFR Germany 2 work with them - especially Island Hopping?

    I remember that at least at the beginning there were some problems.

    Do newer versions of the sceneries fix those issues, have any patches been released?

  3. Is there a new more realistic paint for the Nova bus in the english version? :huh:

    Look at the first screenshot:

    busdriver1_1.jpg

    There's a logo of MTA instead of the letter W in front of the bus and also the destination sign is something else than

    available in the german version. And the number of the bus is also different: 1992.

    In addition there are screenshots of the bus without the destination sign, which isn't possible in the german version.

  4. No as they will be 2 separate products, sorry.

    Two separate products? I thought that the language is the only difference. Is there going to be something in the english

    version that doesn't exist in the german one or vice versa?

    Well, this might become a very expensive simulator to me since i also have to consider buying the german version first and then again the english one.

    I have to say that there was some kind of information problem both in Aerosoft and in TML about the release of this simulator.

    In the TML forum there was a statement that Aerosoft and TML are working to get the sim published at the end of this week.

    No one mentioned that it was going to be the german version only.

    So that you wouldn't get a wrong picture, Aerosoft is in my opinion a very good company which creates great add-ons and simulators.

    This time there just could have been clear information about the english version of the City Bus Simulator.

  5. Few weeks at most.

    Weeks to get the english version?

    Is it possible to buy the german download version and download the english version when it's ready?

    Yep, i do speak german as well and could use the german version, but hey this is a simulator and the

    people don't speak german in New York.

  6. There is no way anything could be built there.

    Yep, there's the edge of the two halves - but why can't you build anything?

    I was once going to build a scenery of that pole station myself, but because of lack of time

    all i have done is that i tested to place some buildings in the pole area with the object placer

    tool that comes with the SDK. That was a very simple test, but i was able to put the houses there.

    My suggestion is that if you can place buildings near the pole (there aren't any buildings IRL on top of the pole itself),

    put at least the main buildings of the base there. Even if GPS won't work there you could then fly there. This feature could

    be described in the documentation so that everything doesn't work in the pole, but some buildings

    have been added there to make the scenery more realistic.

  7. es werden dort auch genug Gründe genannt, warum Aerosoft es diese Woche vlt. nicht schafft.

    Es geht gerade eine Grippewelle durch die Firma,

    Ich weiss über die Grippewelle. Günther Zehnel hat in diesem Forum am letzten Donnerstag geantwortet,

    dass Aerosoft es vielleicht nich schafft in der letzten Woche die Downloadversion fertigzustellen.

    Er hat auch gesagt dass sie jedenfalls in dieser Woche die Downloadversion fertig haben.

    Deswegen hab' ich gefragt, was die Situation jezt ist.

    PS. Was ist der Problem mit BB Codes hier?

  8. I've noticed that despite now being round the FSX world does behave rather oddly at very hi/low latitudes.

    I know, but despite of that i have to ask one question: are you going to include the Amundsen-Scott station

    which is located on the south pole?

    Including that station would make it possible to make flights from the McMurdo station to the pole with a special C130

    as in the real world... ;)

    Even if the scenery doesn't contain the Amundsen-Scott station, you can count me as a buyer of this scenery.

    A brilliant idea to make Antarctis for FsX.

  9. Looks amaizing!

    But one question also. Look at the last screen shot on the product page:

    tahitix_7.jpg

    Is there some scaling problem with those houses? I just mean that the palm trees

    and the boat look really huge compared to those three-storey houses.

  10. Hi,

    What actually happened to the old Catalina beta group? I was a member (although i admit not so active all the time)

    and i haven't seen the goup in the forums for a long time. Was the group re-organized somehow?

    This isn't anything serious, but i'd just like to know what happened - in my opinion i got no messages about this.

    Sorry to ask this here, but it wasn't possible to send a private message to Mathijs.

  11. I have a Geforce 8800 GTX with 768 Mb memory and

    4Gb memory in my computer, but i have this same problem.

    I have tried two times a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla and

    in both times after 20 minutes or so flying my computer

    locked up totally. At the first time i even got a blue screen from

    Vista :shock: but the second time i managed to kill the simulator.

    Conversion to DXT5 greatly reduces the load time for me and would reduce the likelyhood of overload.

    Which files should be converted exactly?

    I can also try to update my graphics card drivers. I admit that i don't

    have the newest version.

    Anyhow, thanks for the hints to solve this problem.

    This plane is great and i'd like to continue flying it.

  12. Is there any possibility to create a patch for MonacoX to work with FsGlobal 2008? I understand that you cannot make patches for every additional scenery but i think that FsGlobal 2008 is the most common additional mesh.

    Btw, why didn't you add in this fine scenery the french radar base on Mont Agel? Okay, it's not in Monaco, but the mountain is right behind Monaco and both the mountain and the radars and antennas are quite dominant in the real landscape. There is also a heliport on the mountain.

  13. I made a repaint for the Beaver X in the Whistler Air colors and decided to show some screenshots here.

    Most probably my paint is available in Avsim today or tomorrow. :)

    If someone doesn't know, Whistler Air is a company which flies in the Vancouver area, for instance between Vancouver and Whistler.

    Whistler is btw the place where the alpine skiing will be held in the next winter olympics.

    At least in my opinion this new paint scheme of Whistler Air is really good looking or what do you think?

  14. Vin,

    Actually the SDK SP1 from MS can explain it best.

    I have the same problem (i can post pictures of my paint project in near future) and in my opinion the SDK doesn't tell it very well. The SDK describes the specular textures, but i still haven't been able to produce a chrome like spinner in my Beaver paint. I even tried to copy the textures from the default MS DC3, but still didn't get the same effect than there.

    So could someone explain more thoroughly how a chrome like paint is done in FsX? Some example pictures could be useful.

  15. As strange as it sounds, getting good high res sat shots for this region is very hard. Just looks at Google Earth and you see 3 different seasons, at least 3 different times of day and 2 different angles in one shot. As we buy most shots from the same sources as GE does you see the the problem.

    True, but on the other hand i understand that GE doesn't update its pictures all the time, so it could be though possible that there are more pictures for one season.

    Of course this was just a suggestion and it's your decision, what you are able to produce. :)

  16. Hi guys,

    You have been creating fantatic sceneries for FsX like Helgoland and the coming Monaco. I have a proposal for you for a new scenery.

    Could you make an FsX scenery for the Niagara Falls area?

    That area contains very beautiful and exceptional landscape and also cities and lots of special buildings in the falls area,

    like observation towers, hotels, power plants etc. In my opinion this would be a superb location for a detailed scenery. :D

  17. It would be interesting to have this dutch Catalina modelled, because it seems to be used for some sort of passenger flights. You can also find pictures from inside it.

    I looked at the photos in Airliners and it seems that majority of the Catalinas flying today are restored millitary planes as Catalina originally was mentioned for military purposes.

    Btw in my opinion a Catalina with a modernized cockpit should contain a GPS, because according to pictures many do in reality.

  18. We could have added one "Quick and Dirty" chopper but you will know that we only release high-quality addons like our Seahawk and it would have taken at least a year to get a similar SeaLynx done... :(

    Sascha

    No problem, i understand that very well. I didn't expect you to create a high-quality chopper for the Helgoland scenery.

    Update, current German Navy repaints of the Alphasim SeaKing can be found here: http://va-luftrettung.de/

    Thanks a lot for this information. The only thing is that i have to join

    the VA Luftrettung and ICARO to be able to download. But i'll think

    about that. I have the Alphasim Sea King and i tested it today

    in FsX. Although the model is a bit old and not as good as the newest

    ones, it works in FsX without problems and the VC is actually quite good.

  19. Now when the Helgoland scenery is going to be released in near future (hopefully tomorrow :D ), i've been searching for a suitable SAR helicopter for Helgoland.

    The problem is that the real SAR copters used in Helgoland are Sikorsky S61 Sea King Mk 41 and there isn't too much available. I think that the AlphaSim model might be the best, but there is no paint for the german SAR version.

    Does anyone know, whether there's somewhere available a german SAR paint for AlphaSim's or some other Sea King?

    I actually noticed in another forum that Sascha has been creating SAR missions for the Helgoland scenery. I just wander for which helicopter they are?

    Btw, i'm a little confused about this particular chopper. Sometimes it's called Sikorsky S61, sometimes Sea King, sometimes SH-3 Seaking and even Westland Seaking. Could someone explain the differences between these?

    Ville

  20. I must say that this is one of the best looking sceneries i've seen. :shock:

    We have to hope that you don't put an astronomical price for this superb scenery... :wink:

    To be frank, this scenery even gave me interest to visit Helgoland in reality. :)

    Just a little question. You have made this scenery exceptionally detailed. If you look at this picture of Helgoland in Wikipedia, there seems to be a small antenna in the high area of the island in addition to the Richtfunkturm, the antenna is in the nothern area, near a single house there. This is of course a small thing, but all high objects are so visible that it would be nice if you could add this antenna.

    Ville

  21. This BeaverX looks really great and i'm waiting for the release... :D

    And thanks also for the Pier 39 sea plane base. Related to that, may

    i give you a suggestion for a future project. I think that a scenery

    containing real-world sea plane bases in Canada (British Colombia etc.),

    Alaska and elsewhere in the USA (state of Washington etc.) would

    sell well. Currently there aren't too many well made available

    anywhere.
