We are very happy to release X-Plane 12.1.4 today. Full release notes can be found here.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2970600/XPlane_12_Addon_Aerosoft__Airport_Greater_Moncton_International/ Airport Greater Moncton International is now also available for XPlane 12 via Steam.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2970590/XPlane_12_Addon_Aerosoft__Airport_Melilla/ Airport Melilla is now also available on Steam for X-Plane 12.
The time has come, the eagerly awaited updates of our two-part scenery Society Islands XP are now available: Bora Bora & Leeward Islands XP has been updated to version 1.2 and Tahiti & Windward Islands XP to version 1.1. Both scenery packages await you -exclusively for X-Plane 12 with exciting and breathtaking new features, as well as numerous improvements and a few fixes.
First of all, wed like to announce that we started to gradually implement all the new cool features that X-Plane 12 has brought with it. Specifically with these updates, weve implemented so-called weather maps for (almost) all of the materials weve developed for the scenery. In less technical terms: Be careful, from now on it will get really wet as soon as it starts to rain (or has rained):
X-Plane 12 also allowed us to implement some ideas that were previously impossible (or only difficult) to implement, such as animated waterfalls and a custom soundscape. On the other hand, newest versions of XP12 also required us to update a few things, such as improving atoll and reef textures, and optimizing the lighting for the overlay scenery i.e. autogen and, were finally able to get rid of an annoying bug related to vegetation, known to some of you as the glowing effect:
Speaking of vegetation, yes, its still 2d for the large rainforests, and only 3d around POIs like airports and helipads. There are a few reasons for this decision, but to cut a long story short, we didnt want our ongoing work on full-3d-vegetation to delay these updates. Especially we wanted it to not delay stuff much more important for a pilot, such as e.g. a new and exciting helipad at the Conrad Bora Bora Nui resort (fictional ICAO code XHNTTC, part of Bora Bora & Leeward Islands XP).
As you can see, there is so much to report. And there would be even more to talk about, but todays blog entry is getting longer and longer. Id say lets keep it short now: Here is the full changelog for both scenery packs to give you a quick overview, as well as a selection of a few more snapshots:
changelog for Bora Bora & Leeward Islands XP v1.2
as well as for Tahiti & Windward Islands XP v1.1:
This update mainly improves the "interaction" between the custom seasonal texture sets of the scenery package and the X-Plane 12 default weather effects, specifically snow coverage. Check out these pics for an example!

lighting: The auto-exposure system is still being modified; RC3's light levels are the same as RC1/RC2. Third party developers can get detailed notes on the state of lighting and how to update in the X-Plane developer lobby. RC3 does change how brightness is managed in glass displays; authors should enter the real world max luminance of their displays. We expect to be able to re-enable auto-exposure to improve the look of the sim under various lighting conditions next week. Flight model: Airfoil critical mach number improved. Transsonic airflow over wings improved, particular in swept-wing aircraft such as airliners. Developers can watch Austins explanation video for more information
