YES. FS2002 includes specific autogen scenery in the vicinity of Heathrow which works well with the photographic scenery. Although this scenery is effectively disabled when the photographic scenery is installed, optional instructions for re-enabling are given in Additional scenery. If any other autogen scenery compatible with the photographic scenery becomes available, we'll post details in Additional scenery.

Do you want to see every road, river, track, wood, town, village, stream, lake, factory, field, shopping centre, car park and more? YES/NO Of course, there are other considerations, and the above questionnaire is a little bit tongue-in-cheek. Photographic scenery and autogen scenery both have their own capabilities, problems and limitations.

For the reasons discussed above, generic autogen scenery doesn't work with the photographic scenery, and it wouldn't make sense if it did. Autogen scenery has to be specifically designed to work with the photographic scenery. However, to cover the whole of England & Wales would require specific autogen scenery to be produced for up to 180,000 individual texture files. At this point in time, with the tools and techniques available, this is clearly not practical or feasible.

YES. Autogen scenery can be created for the photographic scenery, but it has to be created for individual photographic textures rather than generic textures. Scenery developers can use Autogen Annotator provided in the Autogen SDK (part of the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 SDK) to develop autogen scenery to fit with the photographic scenery. Developers will need to be familiar with techniques documented elsewhere in the SDK for developing custom terrain textures.

Yes, except where FS2002 itself doesn't support a particular feature for this type of scenery. Hence specific autogen is available whereas generic autogen isn't. (See Autogen for more detail on this). Yes. MIP Mapping is fully supported by the photographic scenery, with multiple levels of detail encoded within the supplied photographic textures.

We will release the scenery tools after the global scenery is done and as soon as the user interface is refined enough for general use. Everyone will get access to the scenery tools at the same time - when we release them, we release them publicly. Following the xplane-news Yahoo group for release announcements.

If you want a simple answer to this question please see the first page of the FAQ. The answers below are more detailed in order to more fully explain the issues involved. We need to start with a bit of background information: The placement of the default autogen trees and buildings depends on a number of factors, including the slope of the terrain, landclass, and geographic region.

Once you're tried the photographic scenery, you'll probably find you're not missing the autogen scenery as much as you thought, if at all. However, if you really can't live without autogen scenery, then the photographic scenery may not be for you. The best advice is to find a friend with the photographic scenery and try it - you may be surprised. Hopefully in time, autogen specifically designed for the photographic scenery, will become available, so you'll get the best of both worlds.

NO. It is entirely a matter of personal choice if you choose to reduce the visibility when using the photographic scenery. You may want to experiment with turning MIP Mapping off. If you do this, you may choose to reduce visibility for the reasons discussed under MIP Mapping. You may prefer the scenery colours displayed by FS2002 when the visibility is reduced. Some early testers have chosen to do this, others have not.

Yes. The photographic scenery is standard FS2002 scenery developed specifically for FS2002 in accordance with Microsoft Flight Simulator SDK documentation.

The new scenery system does not support auto-gen as we know it from X-Plane 7. In X-Plane 8, objects that correspond to a given terrain type (apartments or shops in a city, farm houses on a field, etc.) are each individually placed in the DSF files by the scenery-generator tool. This allows objects to be placed using a very complex algorithm that would be too slow to run inside X-Plane while flying. So objects cannot be placed automatically based on terrain.

In the end, it's a personal choice, and will depend on what people want and expect from the scenery, and how much they end up getting out of it. We've tried very hard to get the price down to the current level, and we'd like to think we've got it about right. Early testers of the photographic scenery have been fascinated to find just how much there is to discover in the scenery, and how much flying time can be derived from it without the feeling that you've been there/done that.

While there are a lot of vampire books out there, a good place to begin would be http://home.earthlink.net/~thekitsune/ (Kitsune's page). She has an enormous collection of vampire books and her site also includes a few reviews. Cathy Krusberg does excellent reviews and posts new ones regularly. A partial archive of her reviews can be found at http://www.geocities.com/WestHollywood/8372/reviews.html . For a list of vampire fiction, e-mail David C. Mudie (mudie@eecs.berkeley.

The following list includes toolboxes currently offered by The MathWorks. For more info check ftp.mathworks.com in /pub/product-info This is a toolbox for digital signal processing (time series analysis). It includes functions for the design and analysis of digital filters, like Butterworth, Elliptic, and Parks-McClellan, and for FFT analysis (power spectrum estimation). It also includes some 2-dimensional signal processing capabilities. This is a toolbox for control system design and analysis.

In terms of physical scenery, Montreal is beautiful. The city is clean and modern with touches of traditional French architecture in Old Montreal. Unlike most cities, Montreal also has natural beauty with a large central mountain park (Mount Royal) and a charming waterfront in the Old Port. People watching, however, is what makes Montreal truly stunning. It is widely known that women in Montreal are some of the most beautiful in the world.

Yes. While the new default scenery is not photorealistic (it is based on classes of land, road networks, and individually placed objects for buildings), it is possible to use aerial or satelite photographs to make version 8 scenery.

New studies will continue to be added over time, but the current studies available include three main categories:

The best treatment is to keep your diabetes under control; blood pressure control is also helpful. Your doctor may decide on laser photocoagulation to seal leaking blood vessels and destroy new blood vessel growth. If blood gets into the vitreous humor, your doctor might want to perform a procedure called a vitrectomy. The patented electrolyte balance of TheraTears precisely matches the human tear film for dry eye relief. Save $1.

Lucentis received FDA approval in June 2006 for treatment of wet macular degeneration, and has shown very positive results for preventing additional vision loss. Vision often is improved with Lucentis. The drug works by preventing development of abnormal blood vessels in the inner back of the eye, as does another FDA-approved drug known as Macugen. [Read more about the newest FDA-approved treatments for macular degeneration.

The first effort at marketing a crop food modified through biotechnology occurred in the 1989, when Calgene Corporation sought approval for its Flavr Savr tomato, engineered to provide extended shelf life. Since then, there have been a number of crops developed offering a wide variety of enhanced traits. Crops designed to resist insect and viral pest or tolerate broad-spectrum herbicides account for most of the biotechnology crops available commercially.

Herat Watch's service is currently available in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. By the end of 2006 we plan to expend to the Midwest and Southeast US markets. Currently, similar programs exist in England, Germany, Switzerland, Israel, and other countries around the globe. In Israel alone, over 100,000 people use this type of service today.

Currently available flu vaccines only protect against the currently circulating ordinary flu. The virus causing a pandemic will be so different from the strains in the vaccine that they are very unlikely to provide any significant immunity in a pandemic situation. New vaccine must be developed to match the new pandemic strain. Can any vaccine left from previous years be used? No. It will only provide protection against old strains of influenza virus, not against a new strain.

If you would like to use an AutoIndex, contact one of the CMS JADers for training on the functionality of the AutoIndex content type. Sometimes, unexpectantly, Java hangs. When this occurs, you will need to stop the Java process in the browser, by going to the Windows Task Manager (using Ctrl-Alt-Del), and selecting the Processes tab. If you are using Internet Explorer, highlight "IEXPLORER.EXE", then select "End Process". If you are using Firefox, highlight "firefox.

We are hoping to release the global scenery this fall; sooner if possible. Global scenery is our highest priority.

Sergio Santagada is working on the artwork with Cristiano Maggi and Massimo Durando. Austin Meyer and Ben Supnik are working on the programming. There are also a lot of other people who are helping out with scenery in various ways; we appreciate their help a lot!

X-Plane 8 now supports ENV taxiway lines, as of version 815; upgrade to the latest X-Plane 8 to see them. However, our future plan is to have taxiway lines in the apt.dat file, not ENV files.

WorldMaker's scenery editing capabilities were implemented on top of the version 7 X-Plane scenery engine. When we totally rewrote the engine for version 8, we had to remove WorldMaker's scenery editing capabilities. To edit X-Plane 7 scenery, use WorldMaker from X-Plane 7.63 (available for free download). You can use WorldMaker 8 to edit airport and nav data. The new scenery editor will be a separate program from WorldMaker.
