CYVR Update Plans

[Jonathan744]

Hi Everyone -

Glad you are enjoying the scenery, and let me thank you all for the wonderful response it has had since release. In about 10 days, the scenery has racked up just under 4000 downloads on avsim alone. I Couldn't have imagined such a positive response! Thank you!

There will soon be a v1.1 update released which will address a number of issues:

+Textures: The update will include a number of reworked textures to better find a median point between quality and performance. This will include more DXT3 and 1 textures in place of 32bit textures, and some increase in mip mapped textures. The update will not be able to please everyone, as the original release couldn't, but I am hoping this update will provide the right balance. Still expect to see 32bit textures at night, and on certain textures where I could not afford to lose the quality.

+Autogen Issue The update will include some sort of fix for the disappearing autogen issue some users have had.

+Gate Numbering During the beta, the gate numbers on B and C Pier were changed at the last moment to reflect the real airport as of this month. However, in a typical freeware development gaffe, the numbers were only changed on the ground, not on the buildings themselves. This will be fixed in the update.

+Little Things There are a few little things here and there that will be fixed in the update, like the odd incorrect taxi sign, street sign, etc.

+AES Support I am in the process of contacting Oliver and Aerosoft re: AES Support

Once again, thank you everyone for your support - I can't express how happy I am that the scenery has been received as well as it has. Stay tuned for the update some time in the next couple weeks.

Regards,

Thank you Jonathan,

really looking forward to the update to improve your allready perfect scenery! And of course I also hope that AES can be provided to CYVR with the next version.

Will be waiting for the update.

Also the taxiway signs going to post images of what I see. To me lot of them are missing. When yu are on a taxiway and intersecting another I don't see any signs to indicate which one i'm on, and what is coning up.

Will post the jpg in the other thread started

Glad to hear you are updating this great scenery

Good Afternoon Jonathan. Sorry for asking! i was woundering how long before you think the update will be released. We have not heard anything since January on your plans of updating the scenery? not just myself but others are still getting CTD on Final other than that i must say Excellent Scenery. Thanks Keith FDX240

[FDX240]

Well, long time no see. Everything ok with you Jonathan, or is flying taking alot of yout time recently?

Just wanted to say, that Oliver Pabst announced that adding AES to CYVR is currently not possible since the jetways are not yet sepperated (apperently from the terminal). In case you find some time, is there a chance you could add that to the update? Thanks.

[Delta777]

Just noticed that it has been almost two months that Jon has been online here. Anybody knows if everything is ok with him?
