I had the same thought right now, but spam seems to come in waves in fact. If you find a solution for a certain sort, the next wave will hit you anyway. We're currently looking for a better way to prevent it in the first place, we'll get there eventually...

And it sure won't look like in the 3D rendering - those renderings are always way too "clean".

Very nice indeed.

I'm afraid I won't go for another diving holiday in Hurghada before december (earliest), so at the moment the airport is not really on our desk, but it's certainly in one of the drawers if you know what I mean.

Alex, please don't post screenshots that don't fit the forum. Don't exceed 800 pix width. Could you please tell us more about your specs? PC system, usual framerates on airports, scenery and gfx settings. Do you or do you not use the scenery shadow option and does it affect the framerate? There will...

The update is ready, but unfortunately I wasn't able to finish the manual before flying to a research trip for one of our next projects. The update will be released this week.

Yes, good news: After we got a bit stuck in development we're back on the rails and rolling.

Why - are they closing the old Canaries?

In fact I always wanted to do addons of some of those Atlantic Ocean islands, but it's impossible to access enough material for a decent addon.

There are in fact no alpha channels for some of the DXT1 textures in the FS9 version, but only few. We will release an update soon that will also include a nice surprise for FSX users.

Patrick, you're right. Unfortunately, as this is a support forum and a lot of users are or will be registering to report an urgent issue it doesn't make sense to activate accounts or posts by moderators. We clean the forums daily though and immediately ban the users involved. We also have an anti bo...

Yes, that is more or less what I would expect with shadows on. You can't compare a scenery that has shadows with another one that has none. It's like comparing 2 apples with 1 apple. But I think we'll soon release a small update with some performance improvements for FS9, for shadow-users and others...

One thing we didn't mention yet is the "scenery shadows" option in FS9. All users with unexpected low fps in FS9 probably have those shadows enabled. For further explanation please read this: http://forum.flightsimdevelopmentgroup.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=152&p=431#p431 If you should still have bad f...

We received some criticism for unexpected low fps in our FS9 version of Djerba X. The reason is most probably the " scenery shadows " option. Let me explain this a bit: In FS9 and FSX you can select scenery shadows in the graphics settings. This usually costs a lot of fps - why? The GPU has to calcu...

Hat Du den Szenerieschatten aktiviert? Dies kann zu Beeinträchtigungen der Framerate kommen, da hierbei die Modelle mehrfach von der Grafikkarte gezeichnet werden müssen. Die meisten Entwickler deaktivieren aus diesem Grund generell Szenerieschatten (z.B. flyTampa, German Airports, die meisten MegaA...

Alex, there's a reason the user can adjust the scenery and graphics settings. Every game and sim has it, so the user should definitely make use of it. The target for every developer should be to create products that are adjustable for every PC system. Unfortunately most developers don't and just tel...

Hallo Marcel, könntest Du bitte die Szeneriedichte schrittweise verringern und die jeweiligen FPS berichten? Ändern sich die FPS je nachdem ob Du den Flug auf DTTJ lädst oder von einem anderen Flughafen ankommst? Wie sieht es zu unterschiedlichen Tageszeiten oder mit unterschiedlichen Blickrichtunge...

Could you please use different scenery density settings and report your fps?

There's a rather simple version of the airport that can easily be googled. But as the airport is very interesting and often demanded we're considering it as one of the next FSDG addons.

Hallo, ich nehme an Du hast die Frage schon im Aerosoft Forum gestellt? Am besten fragst Du dort direkt im AES-Forum, das ist eine Entscheidung, die Oliver trifft. Von unserer Seite aus sind alle Vorkehrungen für AES getroffen, es sind ja in Djerba keine Jetways oder FollowMe Fahrzeuge vorhanden, da...

Sorry, my bad - you were talking about FS2004, not FSX. In case of FS2004 the excludes are stored in the same file, so you need to open our AFD file in ADE and include an exclusion rectangle. If your new AFD file (disable the old one in this case) should exclude more than you want to, put the new fi...

We created parkings for all real-life parking spots - but we used a trick that should prevent AI from using the GP stands. If you want you can use them as start positions, that's why included them. If you want to create your own exclusion you can do this with ADE. Just open the stock DTTJ in ADE, cr...
