Er!k 572 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 May I please ask to include parking codes for AI traffic? This will add even more immersion to the airport! Thanks for keeping the scenery up-to-date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benutzer 40 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I am sorry if this was covered in the text above but will the textures of the aircraft type stop markings be improved since I can often not read those. Other than that thank you very much for the nice update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Hannant 126 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Gonna ask the inevitable question to get it out the way early.... This is a free update or a small fee being charged? Pretty sure I know the answer but for others who may not have the same conclusion as me, good to get it in black and white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that thank you very much for the nice update! No. Asked like a million times already but let me give a quick roundup of the background here: As stated Asobo directly there are technical performance reasons for limiting resolution of the ground layouts. Quite a few developers (us included) are not happy about that but it is what it as at the moment: https://devsupport.flightsimulator.com/questions/324/improve-projected-mesh-texture-quality.html To give one example: This is the texture of a small gate designator marker at the end of a gate. For illustrative purposes I selected a really "worst case example" here as this one is supposed to be seen by ground staff (as are the aircraft type markers). The one at the other end if of course much bigger so you can easily make out the designator when coming from the runway. This is how we deliver it with the addon: Please login to display this image. This is what MSFS makes of it: Please login to display this image. The only way to bypass this would be to deliver all ground markers at 3D models that flicker at various angles, support no precipitation and have other undesired side-effects. Fingers crossed that this limitation will become less in future sim updates. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK10 41 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Is the old Schönefeld Terminal closed, as it won’t be used anymore? AI is still parking there currently, which of course is not realistic anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Aerosoft Team 51548 Posted December 21, 2022 Author Administrator Share Posted December 21, 2022 And here some more image... I have been using it as my tests with the A330 today and love it. Much detail, very smooth framerates. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Aerosoft Team 51548 Posted December 23, 2022 Author Administrator Share Posted December 23, 2022 I am confused about your comment. Is this related to the update for Berlin? I mean that will be free and not 20 Euro. Could it be you are confusing products? Or can SK10 explain what this has to do with the free Berlin update? What is shown is a DLSS/TAA artifact that is not always easy to avoid and is basically a sim related problem. Check if it is there without clouds. If it is not you know it is sim issue. But again, if this has nothing to do with the Berlin update I will remove it as it is spamming other topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you honestly admit it. PS. I was wondering who under my post with Picture reacted like Downvote. Do you think terminal 1 should look like this ? Or is this kind of mobbing towards me?

It seems you are discussing Cologne. no idea why. I suggest discussing this in the scenery section of this forum. And we are getting back on topic now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvrlpe 1 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I hope statics won't be on Terminal areas (maintenance areas are okay, but not that much), because for VATSIM pilots it will be a bit annoying 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK10 41 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Can the problem be fixed with the upcoming update, that the AI always using runway 25R between L4 and L5 as taxiway and not the appropriate taxiway when they are taxiing out for departure from the main terminal?

Danno1502 2 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Looking forward to the update Recently a small billboard tower thingy (probably not the correct technical term, but its a large metal structure with billboards on top, so...) has been constructed between the skydiving center and the road at 52.36795414880299, 13.468032698610982. I am wondering if you guys are considering adding it, too? Not that I, or anyone for that matter, needs this ugly think anyway, but as it is even taller than the skydiving center, I could imagine it being a pretty distintive sight on the approach path to 07L. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
