STARBUCK107 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Can someone please post some photos of how the Orbx FTX freeware of Martha's Vinyard airport KMVY should look like when installed from pack 9 I don't think I got the right representation of the tower and building correct still looks default scenery. I got some people animation, hangars some static pla? But that passenger terminal does not look like anything i've seen kind of default square looking building. Not like the one i've seen when i was there a year ago? Below pic is what I got. I remember having a better scenery then this a while ago but don't remember where I got it from?

Nick Cooper Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Hello and welcome to the forums. I see just the same as you do. You should remember that these airports are freeware and so do not include custom objects except those to be found in the Orbx libraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STARBUCK107 Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Will Orbx develop a payware Martha's Vinyard airport scenery as well as nantucket airport, these are very well known airport destinations. I'm from Brooklyn I fly all the time on VATSIM to these airports. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Goff Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Similar but not the same, I am working on KBHB Bar Harbor. If you need to get your fix of summer Cessna 402 flights from Boston to vacation destinations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STARBUCK107 Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 I found this Martha's Vinyard scenery more to what I was looking for the airport terminal looks alot better. But the fences are kind of dark the scenery though is for FS2004 but works a little with FSX. http://www.fsimzone.com/new/download4-1260-titleA-10.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings, Bermuda Hey Bermuda425 thanks just the scenery I was really looking for. Not a lot of developers out there doing small airports. Bill said he is about getting ready to release Nantucket airport and airport I used to visit a lot with my dad. His work is flawless awesome 3D Model scenery! just excellent work!

If you need to get your fix of summer Cessna 402 flights from Boston to vacation destinations! Hi Alex, Outstanding - and right up my alley... Have you posted any pictures yet ? All we need is a high quality 402... I had started a photoreal Owls Head (KRKD) in FS9 but never finished it... I was also following a gentleman on FS Developer making the best looking Cessna 402 (including Cape Air livery) I had ever seen - unfortunately he passed away - and his work was lost... My parents live in Boothbay Harbor and I fly my Beech into Wiscasset (KIWI) all the time... I'll gladly follow your progress if posted...

Alex Goff Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I haven't posted any pictures publicly, the airport is nearing completion but there are still some ugly spots. I do have a coverage map however: And a KML of the coverage map for download: KBHB.kml The blue/purple lines mark the boundaries of the photoreal area. It is a mix of 30cm, 60cm, and 90cm imagery covering all of Mt. Desert Island and surrounding islands. I've modelled all the lighthouses and some other fun POI's like helipads, an unlisted airstrip, and an abandoned airstrip. Outside the boundaries also gets a small facelift, 5m mesh extends out a bit and I've done some landclass touchup for better blending. You'll also find in the KML two routes mapped out that match the routes flown by the scenic flight operators around Acadia Natl. Park. Since I don't have any in-sim pictures, here's a real life shot from my airport visit showing how busy it gets with bizjet traffic in the summer! In a few weeks or so I'll probably have an announcement post with the first batch of screenshots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb613 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Hi Alex, Sounds superb... Finally - an East Coast airport from ORBX - I'm definitely looking forward to it... I'll have to fly in there this summer and take a look around to compare... Just an idea - nothing says coastal ME better than the sound of fog horns on a misty morning (I'm not sure how easy it is to add sound effects to scenery)... I'm in on this one...

gregmorin Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Alex Outstanding! I am about 45 minutes away by car. Mt Dessert island actually has a very large population of very wealthy summer folks, very similar to Newport R.I. MY home airport is KBGR just up the road. We used to do low level circuits of the island so folks could check out the mansions. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Goff Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I've been putting together some foghorn sounds for the lighthouses that have horns, Great Duck Island and Egg Rock Island. I'm glad to see some excitement about Bar Harbor, it's an area that I really enjoyed visiting and it's been a blast re-creating it. There's quite a bit to explore around Acadia and I've pulled out all the stops for the airport itself. Native 2048px texture resolution, native Prepar3d ground polygon with more advanced materials like specular effects and bump mapping, new custom static Saab 340's and Cessna 402's.

Captain Z Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hmmm....my post didn't appear. Oh well, again then..... Very excited to see an East Coast ORBX airport. Looks like you picked a good one. Bar Harbor has been added to my flight plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bermuda425 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 @Alex Goff You can't imagine how awesome I find your new project! I've been thinking about it every day since I first read about you doing a rendition some weeks ago. The coverage area is mind-blowing. I love scenery packages that contain more than one airport. Yesterday evening I watched some videos from around Bar Harbor and these were my favorites: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolfspan Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Count me in as being pleased to see Bar Harbor getting the ORBX care. My base is CYSJ a 3 hour drive up the road in Saint John, NB Canada. Bar Harbor is a beautiful spot but then again there are so many on the North East Coast including the Canadian Maritimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Jensen Titterington Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Outstanding news and timing about Bar Harbor. Spring and summer are incredible times to go camping in this part of the world. Mild sea breezes mix with the lush inland tree lines that make a visit to this area unforgettable. It has been many decades since my summer at Bar Harbor. Thank you Alex for letting me go back again. PS: Please include a few nighttime campfires! ...from near KDED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Island is the second largest island on the (US) east coast only behind Long Island. It has about 108sq mi of land which plus the outlying islands and some of the mainland is a hefty chunk of photoreal to fly around. 10 hours ago, Rolfspan said: Count me in as being pleased to see Bar Harbor getting the ORBX care.
