A milestone was reached today for Golden Age Simulations. We have broken the FSX barrier and have a fully native J-2 flying in FSX. I'm not totally sure I'll ever like the new hoops that the ACES team placed before us small shop a/c developers, but with help from a few experts in the field, we finally have the techniques for construction and animation understood and working.
Expect some screenshots in the near future.
Best
Paul

Congratulations! There definitely are new hoops, but some of the stuff I've seen with FSX are simply amazing, leaps and bounds beyond what was achievable before. Though I do hope you guys keep to your FS9 roots too ;D

Mostly finished now. Its not been an easy project, but has been worth while. XtoMdl is a very fussy compiler. I like the way it smooths the animations, but unfortunately some "tricks" we used with MakeMdl can no long be used with XtoMdl and as it is really a GMax or 3DMax centered compiler, us FSDS users need to find work arounds for many solutions. That said, here's an early preview and beta testing will begin soon. I'm thinking about making a package around it and perhaps adding a float and tundra version. At least now it's safe to turn up the clouds and enjoy the total FSX experience. This shot was taken off my PC in FSX SP2 Accelerated  More to come Best Paul |
