    Freeware airport requests

    in Orbx Freeware Support Forum

    Hi Dean,

     

    I don't need pictures generally as I use the ORBXLibs objects.  They do help from time to time if I can't get into "birds eye view" but KCOI was covered.  Thanks anyway.

     

    @Gollum - I did all the airports in PFJ, I don't think there's one I missed.  I don't do the super detailed airport work that is payware grade.  I do the "Chevy" versions that are accurate but take hours rather than months.

     

    Cheers, Neil

    Hi ofek,

     

    KLNA is Palm Beach County Park, certainly doable, I'll put it on the list.  X09 is awfully small, is there a particular reason you'd like it?  JV has me somewhat limited to how many freeware airports I can submit every 3 months and for our users sake I'd like to do one's that might have more universal interest.

     

    Cheers, Neil

    Hi hwh83, Jim,

     

    Todd Harrell worked hard on KOSH but finally gave up, the photoreal was impossible to remove and it needed to be to make everything to look correct, I'm pretty sure that's what he told me.

     

    Jim, I looked at KOGD, 1) it is quite big but I could live with that but 2) it's proximity to Hill Air Force Base (which is too big to do reasonably) would detract from whatever I could accomplish at KOGD so I chose to let it go, sorry. 

     

    Suggestions of smallish to medium sized airports (2 runways or less), especially in the midwest would be very welcome. 

     

    Cheers, Neil

    Hi folks,


     


    This thread has to do with the FTXG  "freeware" airports, ie: ones that are outside our "regions" offerings as ALL the airports within regions are already upgraded.  KHMT is inside the upcoming SCA region and has been done, you just haven't seen it yet.  Edinburgh, Glasgow and Prestwick are all inside region areas and won't be done further (although they may be brought up to date).


     


    The best chances of getting your airport choices done are to choose midsize to smaller airports as they lend themselves to use of the "objects" that we have available.  Very large  airports take ages to do and at best still don't have the charm of the smaller airports.

    Hi Guys,


     


    @Clorix - Right now there are only a few Canadian airports reserved by Larry that he is planning on working on.  Otherwise nothing else is in the pipeline as I just sent in Pack 23.  As our freeware airport guys choose airports they want to work on I've asked them to let me know and I keep a database of ones completed and ones in work.  This keeps us from accidentally working on the same airport with out knowing it.  I added KFSM to the list in case I'd missed it before and also listed any others that have been mentioned lately.


     


    When I have time I go thorough the list and choose airports to do, but generally do only a few larger ones, plus quite a few smaller ones (they're faster).  I'm also working GEN (Germany North) airports and SCA LC activities so my time is somewhat limited. 


     


    Look for the next FTXG freeway Pack in December.


     


    Cheers, Neil

    Hi pilotjohn,


     


    I jot down all the suggestions, none of them have been "lost".  KACK Nantucket is in Pack 19, due out very soon.  Don't be too disappointed, these larger airports with very unique buildings are tough to do when we're using lib's of objects for smaller airports.


     


    Cheers, Neil
