Finni Hansen Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Hi Everyone! Notodden airport is now finally in beta! It has been an entire year of improving my modelling, and learning new tricks and tricks from the pro's at ORBX, and now we are finally here! Main features: - ALL airport and nearby buildings modeled - Most significant buildings in nearby Notodden city modeled - Custom autogen, typical "Norwegian buildings" with density setting - Random placement of airplanes, vehicles and people - Animated car traffic across runway - Switchable runway length depending on time of day, enabling use of the entire runway length and approach lights. - Fully custom winter season with snow on roofs and ground Starting to get some testing reports now, so a few fixes and you can all enjoy this little piece of Norway! Enjoy these few shots from the beta! -- Finn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack the Swede in Spain Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Nice, but with the timeframe for Norwegian airports I guess we will not see it before Christmas 2017! (this is meant as a joke). Jack the Swede in Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripcord Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 You are hard man, JJ. No need to pick on Finni for the pace of somebody else -- although I can see you mean it in fun. Just be glad we got two teams in Norway working on projects for that region, regardless of when they are going to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finni Hansen Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 The power of ORBX Objectflow! Using OF to switch between "short" runway with car traffic across the runway, and full runway length and approach lights, for departing and arriving Beechcraft and Learjets etc. (How Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobdeVries Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Great!! But why is that? Short and long runway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finni Hansen Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 There is a public road crossing the runway, with constant car traffic on it. They use the "small" part of the runway during most of the day (suitable for cessnas and pipers etc) but then stop the car traffic and use the entire runway length when the charter airlines depart or land with their kingair b200!

RobdeVries Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Ah I love that. And in the scenery there's also traffic crossing the runway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finni Hansen Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Bruce, I guess most people don't really understand how much work is going into these things. Not only modelling and texturing, but also figuring out how to get things working in this strange sim that is fsx/p3d. ;-) It has a lot of quirks and weird stuff going on, and you have to do a LOT of reading to make your own recipe on things that work. @rob: yes it does! Have a look on picture #6 on the first post ) -- Finn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripcord Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Quote I guess most people don't really understand how much work is going into these things. I think most of us do understand, and I'll wager that JJ does too. This is just part of his sense of humor. Or maybe he just needs a big hug. Either way, congrats on entering BETA my friend and I wish you a warm and merry holiday season. Take a break and enjoy! cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finni Hansen Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Unfortunately not. This is already pushing the limits of what is possible to do in the simulator today.. - Finn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finni Hansen Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Too long!! Haha. Well, I started taking pictures and such last fall. This is my first airport for fs though, so at least 50% of the time has been spent learning all the quirks of modding this simulator.. Looking forward to my next airport now, with everything I've learned the past year, It will be a breeze to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustin Winther Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm looking forward to it as well! I am also starting out in the scenery BUIZNESS so i know what your going through xD Always a lot to learn when modding an old game Best of luck! Can't wait to the release!

Finni Hansen Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Hi Jose. This is my first airport ever, so there where some things that I had to learn the hard way, when going from p3d to fsx. Some things had to be remodeled completely! Notodden is past RTM testing now, so it should only be a couple of days left Finn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoseCFII Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Thanks Finni! I really appreciate the additional effort. I'm using FSX and I don't see an upgrade in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
