Marcus Nyberg Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Good morning! It is my birthday today, so what is a better gift than to give all of you some great news! Normally service packs are not that much of preview-material. This time I would say it deserves it's own preview post. So, first of all: this upcoming service pack will not contain the moving gates. It is not forgotten, and it is being worked on. This service pack will include some new features and some highly updated already existing ones. First of all, the new feature: animated traffic! We have done massive works with new vehicles and animations and the airport has now become alive in a whole new aspect. We've also placed more people, luggage cars, etc, around the airport and it's now as busy as in real life with buses, trucks, luggage handlers in a constant move to get that next plane to depart in time. Even if we've not noticed any big performance lost this will of course be able to turn off in the control panel. Thanks to our new member Pierre Engblom, we've redone all the autogen. And wow, it's really a big difference! Also it is down to 20% of the amount of the original release, still with the same dense feeling, which will save you some frames. We will also include some corrections of minor issues that has been reported during the year with some flipped textures, etc. We have also re-textured Terminal 5F, Terminal 5A, Terminal 5B, Terminal 4 and Terminal 2. You will now have high-resolution textures with a much higher level of accuracy and of course some nice window reflections. We've also redone the interior of T5F and it's really, really a different place now compared to the initial release. The whole airport has also been exported with a different method which should gain some better performance and decrease the risk of stutters. Hope you enjoy the screens. We still have a few things on the list, but rest assured we are almost there. Now off to some museums and champagne and spend time with my family 07APR Small update to post As I've seen some people wondering if the update will be free, YES, it will be free!

Michael Copp Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Happy birthday! Hopefully you're having a better day than the person who parked the aircraft in shots 12, 17, 31, 37, 54, 55, and 56 (methinks there's going to be a little bit of wing repair work in those aircraft's futures).

PhugoidEffect Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Nice job! I hope to get it ASAP. But look those two large planes side-by-side with their wings inside one another. Can't you prevent that from happening? Maybe some AFCAD setting regarding to aircraft max size, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe, yeah I think those flights are canceled! I haven't had a look in the AFCAD, but maybe all these gates should be set to maximum 737 wing width airplanes. I think the bigger planes always park on the corner spots at T5A/B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
