Title: Very Interesting Video
Post by: wb2002 on June 13, 2014, 03:11:36 am

I realize this is the GSX forum however, I discovered this by accident and wondered how, when, and by whom this is done? It looks so much like GSX with the walking personnel walking/handling baggage all over the place. Anyone have information about this?

I think it's part of the Orbx scenery.

I believe you're right. IMO, that is very impressive. I wish something like that was incorporated in the new KIAH scenery. I realize that we all like to consider ourselves pilots (Captains no doubt) but all my real flight experiences have been sitting and looking out of a passenger cabin window.

:(

These are canned animations tailored for a specific scenery/airplane/parking position. Doing the animations is not difficult, at all. What's difficult, is making them generic and aware of the airport.

Look for example at our wingwalker: he can follow the airplane and the truck doing the pushback, regardless of the airport used or the pushback path.

We'll surely use GSX technology to enhance sceneries even more in the future, but the main issue right now, is that we don't have much headroom because of the rest of memory-hungry products that people use, which severely limits the available memory at our disposal.

See what happened with  CYVR, a scenery which is probably our best yet, that has been unfairly bashed because many users were already close to the OOM limit in that area and mistakenly labeled CYVR as being the cause of their OOM, just because it was the last thing they installed.

Thanks Umberto for that info. I do believe that GSX is one of the most exciting things added for FSX and look forward to some of the more mentioned developments of it. I have not got into the P3D thingy yet but does it have the same restrictions with memory as FSX?
