Twitter update discussion post.

Post by **GaryG** » 28 Apr 2010, 17:28

Latest: model update, the APU inlet valve on the starboard side near the vstab base has been modelled to shut & open automatically based on speed

So, I think they solved the problem that they initially had with the A320 packet outflow valve, which I think was a similar problem.

Post by **esg** » 28 Apr 2010, 17:50

Worked fine on the A320 last I checked

Post by **GaryG** » 28 Apr 2010, 19:35

yep indeed Dimitris. But once, PA issued a model update because the packet outflow used to remain open.

Yes, it works fine

Post by **esg** » 28 Apr 2010, 20:35

Completely forgot about that

Damn it feels close xD

Post by **GaryG** » 30 Apr 2010, 10:06

Latest: Dereks got d plan, DTs got the updates, Tom's ready to go, Alex is missing n Im absconding!! yep its all coming together.. slowly

I feel, as close as it can be

What I really hope is that the frequency of twitter use increases

Thomas · Post by **Thomas** » 30 Apr 2010, 14:17

I agree

Tranceaddict · Post by **Tranceaddict** » 30 Apr 2010, 14:25

I think he meant like last week, there was a new update ever couple of hours or something but never mind all them! What's really left to be done now? xD

Post by **GaryG** » 30 Apr 2010, 15:53

Yeah exactly, what I meant is that, the fact that updates are frequent means that more important things have been done which implies less things to do which eventually will lead to a release.

Thanks for the Tweet updates, while busy doing all the updates and wrapping it up!

Post by **DerKranich** » 01 May 2010, 04:04

Into the hangar comes "Frankfurt am Main"

- Wonder what this means

However thanks for the flow of updates.

I'm guessing it means that into the Hangar comes the MSN aircraft that will be painted in Lufthansa colours?

Cool, lufthansa. I LOVE how their livery looks on the A380

Post by **DerKranich** » 01 May 2010, 17:25

If I were a betting man, I'd say that the Lufthansa -among several others - is probably in the queue for being uploaded onto Avsim.

Keep your eyes peeled people.

Post by **esg** » 01 May 2010, 18:13

No, once we finish the paints, we package and upload them to our ftp to cross-check that everything's in order. It's not been done yet. Don't expect a release today

Post by **esg** » 01 May 2010, 18:30

Well, aren't I Buzz Killington...

indeed

for everyone who was wondering what "Frankfurt am Main" was doing in the hangar.. well it meant D-AIMA was being painted.. not uploaded, yet

thought so

lol, make it a good one Dimitris

FSflyer · Post by **FSflyer** » 01 May 2010, 22:55

I guess what the plane is doing in the hangar looks like this:

http://a380production.com/2010/01/fp3/

And it's going to be delivered to Lufthansa in May too!

Post by **DerKranich** » 02 May 2010, 15:13

its funny how the #a380 primer livery was soo very easy to paint compared to the eurowhite liveries!!

...you're kidding, right? :?

With all due respect, Lufthansa is not that tricky to paint. It's just the gray underbelly people often get wrong because it dips a little bit past the wingroot. Just look closely and you will see what I mean.

Tranceaddict · Post by **Tranceaddict** » 02 May 2010, 15:22

No. I'm not kidding.

I also know exactly what you mean with the grey belly. Thats the least of my bothers.

Leave aside painting for FS for close to 7yrs now, I've worked with LH 747s (as also the A330/A340 occasionally) for close to 3 years of my working life so yeah i know what i'm talking about.

Post by **esg** » 02 May 2010, 15:38

chriswallace83 · Post by **chriswallace83** » 03 May 2010, 14:24

That was a hard poll. It was a tossup between both QANTAS and Lufthansa for me, so I picked both lol (QF wins out by a bit tho). I really like Emirates' livery too

If I had to choose which to put in my hangar first, it would be QANTAS and Emirates.

Old news, saw that 5 months ago

So now that his card is fried, does that mean no bus until it's fixed?
