Does it work independent of the default MSFS gate assignment or is it like at Aerosofts Cologne airport where VDGS only works at the gate you’re cleared to by ATC? Sorry if this has been answered before. The module works independently of the MSFS ATC, to activate a system you simply select it from the UI menu. It's also possible to preselect which stand you plan on parking at, that way it's gonna activate automatically without the need to bring up the UI after arriving.

Jo (and the internal team that does the VDGS plugin for this and many other of our airports) really use it as a testbed of what is possible. Let me show you two images I made today. Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image. This is the level of detail that is possible in the sim at this moment. It is staggering if you compare that to what we were used to only 3 years ago. Amazing indeed. Would it be technically possible today, to have terminal glass reflections to see your own aircraft at the gate? I know that nobody would do that for performance reasons.

What's reflected and how it's reflected is in general handled by the graphics engine itself, simply speaking for a texture we just define if a part should be shiny and if so how shiny it should be MSFS already reflects dynamic objects such as the user aircraft, however due to the way reflection maps are generated it's only visible when looking at the windows from a sharp angle.

Something that hasn't really been showcased yet is the parallax texture mapping used to generate fake building interiors around the airport. (No extra geometry, just smoke and mirrors.)

Very nice and sad at the same time, as you would see your aircraft on a lot of terminals wich have glass and not only from sharp angles, now that I know it’s already implemented.

You can enter your estimated departure time in the flightplan section of the VDGS ui menu (along with the destination as Mathijs mentioned above). So the EDT countdown is based on whatever time you've added there and isn't a predefined value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandar Vujasin 1 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 So as this is not a "normal release" and it uses independent software, will this be available in the MSFS marketplace? And if yes, will it be possible to use the external software with a marketplace download? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The module is a separate (free) bit of software that should work with all PC versions. Inc!using the Marketplace versions. On release it will cover four of our airports.

pchitkara 54 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 It should be, originally it was targeted for Q1. So release may just be round the corner now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pchitkara 54 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 So anytime now How do they manage to get so much moving traffic?

fly3400 10 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 The VDGS module is ready to download now - however i think they need to update the airports before it works (tried EDDK and EDLP, no luck).
