Quote:It really seems like the developers are hitting their stride now in FSX. Too bad it's a dead end so to speak, it will be interesting to see where it goes with the "new & improved" platform.
Reading the info on the new P3D SDK, it is backwards compatible to FSX, but is updated to do better for dedicated P3D development. P3D is getting a lot of support from products, which I believe is due to ease of updating it. A lot of products have an FSX and P3D choice for installing. You need to install it twice, but you get be able to fly it in both.
All of Captain Sim's FSX products are working fine for me in P3D already, but I had to copy and paste everything from FSX, as well as edit P3D's DLL.xml file. Quote:If that is the case and CS moves on to P3d seems like you would be able to do the whole plane, even something as big as the 747-100...I, of course know nothing about this new SDK.
Like I said, it
sounds like that, but, as I said, I'm not 100% sure. I have now installed the P3D SDK, but I have not looked at it yet.
Quote:I will say this, however nice the 777 cabin is it is a bit of overkill, I wish they had it incorporated into the VC from the git... & everything doesn't have to be animated. Maybe a few choice spots, a few overhead bins...etc.
I agree. If they shrink it down to only First Class, like it is in their 757, it would be great. I honestly don't think that lessening the animations will reduce the interior MDL size enough to combine the with the VC, so we
might only get half (or less) of the Cabin. But I would love to have at least that. In a 747
and in the 777.
