O'Hare V2 - New features

[virtuali]

I have a question regarding the information panels. Will their be a feature for PFPX users where you are able to export the flightplan so will show up on the information panel?

The panels indicates your own departure/destination airport as long a standard P3D Flightplan is active.

So, whatever 3rd party utility you use, if it can generate a standard P3D Flightplan that you can load in the default Flight planner, it will be shown in the information panels.

Umberto, I just came across the AirDailyX interview on YT and saw the inside of the ORD's terminal... Amazing work! The status board! Will the jetways be accessible from inside the terminal into the aircraft too with the avatar?

Will the jetways be accessible from inside the terminal into the aircraft too with the avatar?

That's not currently possible with P3D4 because, jetways are skinned, meaning their structure changes when they are docked so, what is normally used to have the Avatar standing on an elevated surface, the so called "platform" in SDK terms, doesn't "stretch" with the jetway animation, so the Avatar would fall off the jetway as soon as it moves.

However, it's possible to let the Avatar visit undocked static jetways and I guess we might to something to allow users to see a jetway in first-person mode even when it's docked or while it's docking, if we either "locked" the avatar in place (like a static observing point ), or if we placed a custom camera there.

There are still lots of new features we could likely add in P3D4 (only), because the camera API there is so much more powerful than the very limited one available on FSX.

What's the latest news on a release date? Is it still September?

[Bradzim]

When was September reported?

[virtuali]

We never mentioned a possible September release date for KORD V2. You must have confused it for GSX Level 2 which, instead, has always been confirmed for September and WILL be released in September.

At this time, nothing has changed since my last post, and the scenery is still scheduled to be released in 2018.

Its September!!!!

Its September!!!! 

This means we have still 29 days left, to be considered on time...

Now that GSX2 is out, does that mean ORD is soon to follow?  I thought I read that most of the features for ORD will require GSX2.

Well..."soon" for an airport so big, is an hopeful concept. But yes, now we probably have more time to concentrate on KORD V2.

Any updates by any chance?

I would like to hear it from the developers please.

There's nothing new to report. If there's something new, we'll report it.

We are purposely not giving any specific release date, because the scenery is so big, and we are doing it to a so high level of quality that will be the *definite* word on O'Hare (at least until the next runway change, in 2021...), for the next years, that we don't want to rush it.

I’m just hoping for a new screenshot or two, rather than news.  O’hare is my favorite airport, and I love the feeling of excitement I get when you post a new screenshot or short video showing off your beautiful work!
