Airliner XP: The Airbus you are waiting for!

January 28, 2007 - The Internationally-based development studio, Airliner XP, is announcing the most unique Airbus Simulation Experience for both FS9 and FSX.

 

"With today's announcement of our Airbus Simulation, we are officially ushering in a new era in true next-generation simulation and entertainment for everyone" said Jean-Luc Dupiot, co-founder of Airliner XP. "The innovative Airbus Simulation product features powerful technologies and capabilities that have never been brought together in one simulation title. The results are breathtaking new interactive simulation to explore, eye-popping multimedia functionality, and a fully integrated experience -- all in high- definition clarity. The value we are providing consumers with our Airbus Simulation is beyond compare."

 

What happens when the three most renowned companies in the Flight Simulator market get together is nothing short of a revolution: award winning DreamFleet, FlightScenery and Reality XP join forces to release a revolutionary product:

 

Airliner XP’s Airbus Simulation features an entirely new 2D and 3D graphic engine for Flight Simulator with ultra high-res panels in 32 bits next-gen graphics and with higher frame rates. In addition, professional-grade 3D modeling with an extraordinary level of detail and cutting edge animations with visual special effects and virtually no-FPS hit. For the first time, studio-quality recorded sound and innovative 7.1 3D-sound mixer for FS9/X, faster than Direct X for increased frame rates. Overall, the Airliner XP’s Airbus features industry-leading game development combined with aviation training best practices for the highest level of aircraft systems simulation fidelity and avionics fluidity ever offered on a desktop PC.

 

DreamFleet’s Lou Betti is a professional photographer and 2D artwork artist. He has been demonstrating a unique talent in designing aircraft and gauges bitmaps for award winning titles like the Boeing 737, the ATR 72, the Beech A36, the Beech B58 and the Piper Archer.

 

FlightScenery’s Stéphane Lepage is a professional 3D artist and industrial designer. He has been demonstrating leading Flight Simulator modeling techniques for life-like rendition of sceneries and highly detailed 3D objects with virtually no FPS hit with award winning titles like FlightZone01: Rhode Island and FlightZone02: Portland.

 

Reality XP’s Jean-Luc Dupiot is a professional developer. He has been leading the Flight Simulator gauge development in being the first to introduce fluid and low FPS hit anti-aliased EFIS technologies, accurate and full featured avionics simulations and non-yet-matched unique products like the Weather Radar simulation and the TAWS – EGPWS.

 

Airliner XP’s A320 Airbus which has been under development for 3 years will be released for FS9 first and FSX later.

 

Airliner XP's management and staff includes producers, artists, designers, and developers with experience from leading publishers and titles in the industry including DreamFleet, FlightScenery and Reality XP.

Fantastic....will be implemented the 2d panel for widescreen monitor? 

 

 

Hi Tim,

it is under investigation by the ISP.

Maybe you could help us better: can you post here a traceroute from your location to www.airliner-xp.com to see where it blocks?

Have you also tried www.airlinerxp.com or www.airlinersim.com ?

Jean-Luc

Here are the traceroutes :

Greetings

Tim

Hi Tim,

it seems it is working from the german website, but not from your ISP. It is under investigation with the web hosting company that is asking: what is your ISP? (as much contact information as possible please for me to relay this to them).

Jean-Luc

Hi Tim,

just a quick update to let you know that some problems have been reported recently with clients associeted with the 1and1 network. Investigation is still going on for now!

Jean-Luc

It works!! I can access the AirlinerXP homepage!!

What a great support. Thanks a lot Jean-Luc!

Greetings

Tim

 

Hi Jean-Luc,
It's ok for me from switzerland.
Serge

Hi folks
I also live in Germany and I my browser is unable to load the page. I tried it with Firefox, with the default Internet Explorer, ... - always time-out error. That's horrible :(

ISP is T-Online ( which belongs to T-Com, the  main german Telecom Company in Germany )

Greetings Bodo

No luck :( Webpage not found. Service unavailable.

Bodo

Does not work yet.

That trace route information needs to be removed immediately!

Please, folks!  Be very careful with that data.  That's precisely the stuff that hackers love to see because with it, they can do all sorts of bad things to your online computers.

Ken

Please, what is the release date ?

It seems that the German internet backbone of Deutsche Telekom AG (DTAG) is having difficulties accessing the airliner-xp site addresses. 1&1 also uses the same infrastructure... I can access the sites from work nearly all the time, though the internet connection there is via the German Research Network DFN, and goes through New York if I remember correctly...

Is there any way of checking out if airliner-xp's host is blocking connections sporadically from DTAG? I have been able to access it from home from time to time before now, but tonight I cannot access at all...

This is a long standing problem... Given that you will be using the Flight1 wrapper, at least the process of purchasing will probably be free of difficulties... :) though downloading the original install file could prove interesting...

Andrew

Hi,

the project is still alive, just quieter. The forum is an issue: our ISP changed servers, and since that moment, we are struggling to find a way to reenable the forum without loosing all the posts database (which is the sole option the ISP is more or less offering).

So it takes time, and we are sorry for this.

Jean-Luc

Jean Luc,

I think there s no reason for such foggy answers - it s obvious that forum is closed because it has no purpose and that all posts in the last few months while it has been active were simply not constructive anymore. Finally, forum itself has zero importance in this sad story.

While I would be really happy to know that project may continue at some point(actually this would be the top news in FS world), from outside perspective it looks that there are serious issues between the team members and that some (key players) are not willing to continue working on the project. For that reason, project is stuck.

Must say, pitty, as AXP was by far the most promissing and in my opinion far better than ASimmer. Looking now, AXP Project reminds me on "supergroups" in which you can have the best individuals on the planet, but as a team they re horrible and useless.

What you guys need is an investor and manager which is not affiliated to any of your companies - one which would coordinate project and keep your work obligations within the frame till the final result is reached.

Best regards and good luck with all upcoming projects from your "factory".

Tom

 

 

Hi Jean Luc
Hope you are well…  I don't know if you can tell us this but do you hope to release the AXP320 this year?  If not, could you assure us that you guys are still actively working on the code?
Waiting patiently for your masterpiece!
TED320

well that's the end of that



No forwarding set for www.airliner-xp.com

www.airlinerxp.com still works, it appears the forum is also hosted on this domain and still works (although you cannot post.)

I remember Lou saying that it had been 3 years in the making, I can't see this project being thrown away all together.

Seems we are having a hard time with our ISP. Is www.airlinerxp.com working though?

Jean-Luc
