Will the water work like that in FSX or just P3D?

Looks amazing. As cmpbllsjc asks, can we see this wonderful reflections only in P3d or is that feature in FSX also available?

The water puddles reflecting scenery objects works only in P3D. But the water puddles disappearing after some time after the rain ends, will work in FSX too, since it's part of the Python logic handled by Couatl.

It's just that, in FSX they will look simpler, with normal environment mapping and specular, but without realtime reflections of the actual scenery.

People still use FSX?  Not the ball and chain again like we had with FS9 ... no no please no!  ;)  hehe

Looking forward to it's release.  Any reason not to link the video again here ... awesome job.



Cheers, Rob.

Does the drying up effect happen gradually over time, or does it just go from soaking wet to bone dry?

Looks pretty close to being finished I would think.  Can't wait for THE FedEx hub.  Is GSX required to have the features of all the vehicles and people in the "Busy Hub" video?  My speculative answer would be yes.

Is GSX required to have the features of all the vehicles and people in the "Busy Hub" video?

No, it's not required, but those vehicles and people are of course handled by the Python scripts, to manage all the logic to have them appear/disappear in smart ways in order to save fps. The scenery simply wouldn't fit in memory if we just put "everything in" with normal SDK methods. So it obviously requires the Couatl engine, like all our other sceneries, which will be automatically installed.

GSX is required just for the docking systems, and the marshallers, of course. However, since it's free to use at our airports, it's not really an issue, even for those not having purchased it yet: the Trial version will behave like a full version on any FSDT/Flightbeam airport, so it's just a matter of downloading it.

The FEDEX traffic is AI or Static part of the scenery? If it is AI did you add it to UT2 power pack and is one able to do this in P3D?

We used MyTraffic for the screenshot. There are not static AI in the scenery, except for the C5 Galaxy, which can be toggled on/off with the YouControl menu.

Mytraffic doesn't use real schedules has anyone tested with custom AI and 100% traffic? Also what are the vas numbers? Thank you.

Yeah that was a great video as well.

I wonder if they will release this weekend? Looks just about done.
