transcontinental

i Everybody,

Giving Zibo 3.50.4 a test run. I depart Salt Lake and head on over to Gowen Field in Boise Idaho.

All in all a great flight, nothing to complain about!

Hi Everybody,

Part 2 of New Jersey is done; I now have 90% of NJ in photoreal ZL18/19.

The scenery looks great but the down side, longer load times. Had to wait 10 minutes for Xplane to load up, guess you can't have it all.

As long as the wait times don't keep creeping up, I can deal with 10 to 15 minutes sine I run the deck all day when it's up and running.

Hi Everybody,

Working on some photo real scenery for the state of New Jersey, this is photo real level 18/19.

Going to start on the northern half of NJ tomorrow.

Hi Everyone,

zibo 3.50 is out!

Hi,

Yeah I hear ya, my 1TB drive was filled in no time. That's when I decided to try the 10TB NAS drive.

Hi Everyone,

Since I was having issues with Zibo 4.49.18 I decided to go back to version .16. All of my navigational issues are gone and it was a joyful flight.

Hi,

I'm feeling good, thanks for asking. Since I spend about 100% of my time in the 737 I don't really notice the flat areas since I'm not below 2,500 all that long. At altitude the photo real looks amazing. Would be nice I I could get the entire globe done in ZL19/20! But the space required would be enormous and the time to load XP would be super long.

I have about 90% of the US done in photoreal, my 10TB NAS drive is getting full fast.

Hi Everybody,

Not sure why the beginning of the video didn't come out, I departed from Bismarck Municipal Airport (KBIS). Sorry about that... I hope you enjoy the ride into KBIL. Weather got a bit nasty on the way in, not much to see of the photoreal.

Hi Everyone,

Decided to try my hand at photoreal. If you jump to five minutes into the video you'll see a Queens neighborhood.

Hi,

They get placed into your "CUSTOM SCENERY" sub folder inside XPlane.

Hi,

I've done just what you are talking about. Only thing I had to do was enter my registration info on the new hard drive. Just keep in mind if you have any addons like ORBX that use their own UI and backup directory, you may have to reinstall them.

Hi Everybody,

Tonight's flight departs out of Rapid City South Dakota (KRAP/RWY-32) and we head on over to Bismarck North Dakota (KBIS/RWY-31). Sorry about some of the audio issues.

A bit windy on the way down, get pushed around a bit during landing.

Hi Everybody,

Xplane 11.55 is out.

Hi Everybody,

Another short hop... Tonight I go from Hector International (KFAR) to Rapid City Regional (KRAP). I noticed two issues with the latest version of Zibo, they both have to deal with the speed tape.

Not sure what happened to my world map on the lower right side of the display on the back end. Sorry about that.

All-in-all another good flight!

Hi Everybody,

Todays flight is a charter flight out of Minnesota (KDLH) and we head on over to North Dakota (KFAR).

This is the second time ATIS has given me the wrong landing runway based on wind direction.

Hi Everybody,

Short hop from Minneapolis-St. Paul (KMSP) to Duluth International (KDLH).

Hi Everybody,

My reshade and non-reshade lights package has ben uploaded to flightsim.com and is availavle for download.

The file is: https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?do=copyright&fid=212519

Hi Everybody,

Tonight's flight was from Chicago (KMDW) to Minneapolis-St. Paul (KMSP). It was a bumpy flight the entire ride, it was so bad there was no in-flight service along the way.

All in all Zibo ran great. There seems to be an issue with Window Heat indicators and a minor issue with the speed tape.

I may lower the bloom down just a bit.

Hope you enjoyed the ride along.

Hi Everybody,

Trying out 25Hz/25FPS around California with a landing at Los Angeles (KLAX).

If I ever get my hands on three 3090s things will only get better. My settings all full right except lighting and AA, they are one notch from full right. Reflections are off because I don't like the look... Everything else is on or set to maximum running @ 4K.

Hi Everybody,

I did some tweaking to my non re-shade night lighting effects. My effects are included in the file download, link is shown in description.

Hi,

Not sure if you worked this out or not. but Zibo has the ability of utilizing two different FMCs. More than likely, Zibo picked the wrong one or it got changed for some reason.

Go into Zibo's EFB and change the FMC that is being used.

Hope this helps

Hi Everybody,

Tonight's flight was a Skywest flight #5323​ with nonstop service from Green Bay to Chicago.

Forgot to set real weather, so the weather is what I had set while testing the new rigs. I also lost sound during the end of the flight, I'll have to look into that, that's a new issue.

Hi Everyone,

My first flight with the three news computer builds, very happy with the results.

Still have to wait (defective equipment) on one motherboard and CPU, then X-plane will be running at 5.3GHz all around. Right now the server is only running at 3.0GHz.

Hi Everybody,

Ran my last flight on my old I7-7700 CPU's, they will be swapped out for I910900's.

Ran into a pressurization issue along the way. Late getting the arrival runway and had to make a steep descent into West Palm.

Will begin building my new computers tomorrow.
