Price will be normal £16.99 and there is Xplane 10 and Xplane 11 version.

Happy Days! Logged

Will your airports support sloped runways? I'm asking because certain developers (namely Digital Design for their LOWS) requiring these to be disabled in X-Plane. « Last Edit: May 29, 2017, 11:23:00 AM by Dmitriy Kozyrev » Logged

Hi, I have not been able to add sloped runways at Birmingham yet. This is due to the elevations of the airfield being on a dramatic hill compared to the other side. However, this is something I will try and implement in the future. You should not have to turn off 'Runways Follow Terrain Contours' in your X-Plane settings for this.



I am also going to add static aircraft and other features at a later date as this is something that will have to be implemented into the 'Options' of the installer. So this is experimental for me at the moment. Hi, I have not been able to add sloped runways at Birmingham yet.

Hi Javier,



Like many 3rd party sceneries for X-Plane, we are not able to implement runway terrain contours due to the models of buildings sinking into the ground on one side of an airport compared to the other. This then creates more issues than it's worth for the scenery and can contain a lot more bugs. Sorry about this, but maybe I will have to try and work on this in the future.



Thanks,

Hi Steven,



Here is a quote from Gary at the start of the forum, sorry we cannot help you here.



"This will be a separate paid version to the normal MS coded version. Matt has spend a lot of time and effort to make this possible, so sorry we cant give it away to existing FS9\FSX\P3D version users."

When I heard you guys were converting your scenery to work inside xplane you provided the best news I've had in a long time! I own all your excellent products in FSX/P3D and not one of them has failed to disappoint. I bought Birmingham for Xplane as soon as I heard and can confirm that the quality is up to the same excellent standards! I use both sims and have always been missing good high quality UK airfields to go with the excellent Ortho Graphic Photo scenery which I have created. I eagerly await your next release and all those that come after! Keep up the excellent work guys!

I rest assured that in future sceneries these things will be up to the usual, high standard.



As another think, I hope you're not redistributing the autogate plugin, the licence which comes with it does not allow for the plugin itself to be distributed, users are required to download it from the main site. Logged
