[harleyman]

Yea...I think it was PC Avaitor..And they have announced they are behind on it and will release just after Christmas...

They still do not say what it is ......:banghead:

[Lionheart]

It will be 'revolutionary'!

Yep.. Youve been watching Monty Python again... :mixedsmi:

[harleyman]

No...I think not as REX is released....


What Happened To PC Aviator's Big Secret?
As is often the case in software development, things can run overdue and that is the case with this particular project. We originally promised you a 1 December announcement and release date but unfortunately we did not reach that goal. Please standby for the announcement and release on 15 December. This truly will be an exciting product!

Actually, that was what Robert told me. Its supposed to take scenery to a new level of sophistication and incredible... well. Cant talk about it. I also do not know that much about it. But if Robert says its going to be awesome, I am sure it will be.

OK Lionheart...You can't just say that and leave...Its against all moral obligations and stuff....

Who is this Robert and what do you know?

This is killing me now....You are going to put this ol man in the ground with this one....LOL


BTW.....:wavey:

[N2056]

Robert is the individual that runs PC Aviator, and I'm not him :d

[BananaBob]

Nor am I, I have trouble running to the fridge. :costumes:

[Pepere]

Thanks for setting me stright on who said it, Now WHAT THE HELL IS IT!

David

[harleyman]

Nor am I, I have trouble running to the fridge. :costumes:



I bet you could run after your Avatar If need be........:costumes:



Hmmm I really need to get to know this Robert......:jump:

[Lionheart]

Nor am I, I have trouble running to the fridge. :costumes:

LOLOL....


Robert Ferraro is the President and CEO of the PC Aviator empire which includes the popular Computer Pilot magazine, PCAviator.com online pilot shop, and all of the Mega-Scenery selections. (His company do all the huge Mega Scenery productions).


And..... He only told me its about scenery and that it will revolutionise the sim world.


So... Basically, you now know as much as me. :d I promise, that is the truth. But it is evidently going to be one heck of a cool thing.


Thats it.. Thats all I know.



Bill

[N2056]

Note to self...don't tell Bill anything you want kept 'secret' :costumes:

[Lionheart]

ha ha...

He didnt tell me anything secret.. only that its scenery, which is what everyone else knows.

:d

I can hardly wait to see what it is. I am a scenery freak and scenery is really important. If this will fix FSX's scenery, I will fly in it more.


Bill

[THibben]

Especially if it gives the same good frame rates as MegaScenery.

I wont part with my Mega Scenery SoCal or my Mega City Phoenix. :d



Bill

[Gdavis101]

Sounds fascinating!

[heywooood]

will it cure the shorelines and change the way the land masses seem to be floating on the surface of the water? ...among other things?

:costumes::costumes: Man you asking alot there .........:costumes:


But wouldn't that be great??????

Bill


Me too :wiggle::wavey::jump::ernae::applause:

David

[Pepere]

Nothing yet?

David

[GT182]

Yeah 2 days over due. Usually that calls for a search party to be deployed. ;)

[Pepere]

By the time "it's" out the thrill will be over. Maybe they relize it's just another simple addon that people will not nessarly need/want/desire/lust over so they will sneek it out, lets say in January... :mixedsmi:

GT182 are you headed out? :costumes:

David

[spotlope]

Anybody remember Dean Kamen's big secret project that was supposed to change humanity forever? Everybody was talking about it for months. People who had supposedly seen it were falling over themselves to invest in this new miracle product.

Then it was finally revealed: the Segway. I don't know about yours, but my little corner of humanity looks a lot like it did before, except for now one guy in my neighborhood has a Segway.

[tigisfat]

I'm going to pray that it involves subscription aerial imagery service for EVERYWHERE. The megascenery folks have not been releasing scenery, so it's only fair to assume. That would revolutionize MSFS, and we'd almost ALL sign up.

[FLighT01]

There's a thread a mile long over at AVSIM about this. Some of those people are taking it personally, it's like they've already paid for the product and now they are whining because it hasn't been delivered? I really can't understand why their spitting blood over this.


Yeah 2 days over due. Usually that calls for a search party to be deployed. ;)

Maybe a posse!

[MudMarine]

Ah the hype! I'm sure it will "change" the world. My life is going to be "changed" forever. It'll be "change" we can believe in. I think I'll go "change" my underwear! One thing you can almost always count on is developers "changing" the release date when reality sets in!:costumes:

I've seen photoreal scenery which looks great if you usually fly at 10,000 ft plus. I'm just not a photoreal fan becuase I'm usually flying low and semi-slow and it just doesn't look right to my eye. Or it could be some type of satellite generated uber real scenery. I'm not saying this is even going to be scenery; I'm not in the loop. I guess I'm a "I'll believe it when I see it" type of guy............what ever it may be.:isadizzy::costumes:

[heywooood]

I'm with you on that Mud...photoreal just does'nt pull my triggers - but if there is a way to get rid of FSX's saw-toothed sliced layer-cake cliffs, and introduce realistic coastal shallows and muddy riverbanks etc...I'm all for it.

[jdhaenens]

Maybe they found a way to let autogen show through the photoscenery. That would be outstanding!

One thing I'd suggested to Phil before he left Aces was that they should leverage their Photosynth technology with their Birdseye View from Virtual Erth, and develop an api to build 3D photoreal scenery automatically. Now THAT would be way cool!

[Pepere]

A working ATC!:kilroy:

[Nick C]

If somebody pays me I'll be happy to tell them what I know...

[Lionheart]

Patience.....

Ya, Right!!:costumes: That item is usually in short supply around here! I'm usually the first in line for that department!hehe:kilroy: Patience is for Zen masters not Marines.:icon_lol:

lololol.... :costumes:


Zen masters, lol...

I think I became patient when my impatience totally burned out and sizzled to nothing... Now I just smile and wait.

[jimjones]

That would be nice in forested areas perhaps, but in cities to have buildings pop up and not match in placement or size that of the photoreal would be distracting and take away from the accuracy of the photoreal building appearance.

What? We've been doing it since FS9. This is FSX with Horizon's Generation-X and custom autogen:

[jdhaenens]

LOL...I know about the annotator, I was just hoping for "show-it-until-told otherwise" when now the opposite is true. As I recall, there used to ba another autogen placement program that would let you place 500 or less objects as well. I did it with KNZY, KNPA and Meridian.

OH my GOODNESS!

Check out those houses!!

:applause:

Makes you wonder what FS15 will look like...

:d


Bill

[Pepere]

It's here http://www.megasceneryearth.com/ . Oh well!

Lets see 1/2 cent per sq mile - 3,537,441 square miles in us that equals = $17,687 for the us. Not bad:kilroy:!


David

PS: I unloaded my Mega Hawaii because when I landed at the airports my plane was up to it's belly in earth? :friday:

[guzler]

Now horizon with autogen looks worthy. I can't fly without autogen, www.FranceVFR.com (http://www.FranceVFR.com) has some great photo scenery combining the two
