To clarify, the A380 will be more processor intensive. The graphics card requirements are about the same as the 320, but you'll need a better processor to get equal frames I figure. I've optimized the files as much as I can, but the model complexity is just in a different league.

I did a few tests here and the XML has relatively little effect on the average frame rate, it's really the parts and poly count from what I can tell.

Ohhhhh. For some reason I was under the impression that it that wasn't taking place.

So in other words there will be an FSX model for download and an FS9 model?

I know the FSX model won't incorporate any special FSX features but it will be compiled in FSX SDK?

I hope I'm not being interpreted as rude my intention was to be complimentary!
No, it will only be compiled with the FS9 exporter. I don't know how it will perform in FSX, my system only runs FSX at 10fps so..

the picture was taken on June 2nd at Frankfurt International Airport
so its no longer if but when
That image doesn't really mean anything. I've heard it discussed before, tarmac lines are sometimes drawn in advance without any guarantee they'll ever be used.

That's what I believed! I wasn't really asking! I was just surprised by what tranceaddict said and slightly confused!

Regardless, Looking forward to the release simple because of what an amazing accomplishment it is to produce such a freeware product!

Even in FSX due to a non-native model?

I think he meant initially developped using Fs9 SDk like the wilco 380 but adapted to Fsx, when you have something compatible with both fs9/fsx you have
(I think) some minor limitation (like max polygon, lower for fs9) and some other stuff but don't worry it still awesome.

you do realize runways - like roads - can intersect one another, right?

The angle it's at makes it hard to tell anyways, so don't even waste my time trying to start a pissing match about it.

and even if it was a failed one, who gives a crap? It's almost out!

I was above here, so I must've rotated close to the intersection with 33L/15R. Runway aplenty

Why do people care about the take off?!?! Anyway to get back on topic, it looks great and I've just added those 3 pictures to my PA A380 picture folder!! Haha I look at them everyday!

My God, DT. How loaded did you have it?

that even puts my beloved 757 to shame

Post by **esg** » 19 Jun 2010, 22:06

Emptied it to speed things up, must've been at about 350 tons

Looking very, very good altogether and with the EA engined version. Nice work chaps

. Even the engines are angled like the real deal. Great attention to detail.

As long as it's out before the end of August I'm happy, but having it out before going to LAX next week would be nice.
