Jon Clarke Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I have been flying in Japan recently with Global & Vector and Ultimate Asia mesh, and I have to say it is well worth the visit. Like PNW there are lots of great mountain areas, large cities with plenty of autogen, rivers, bridges, high speed rail elevated section and with the Ships addon, loads of ships. I recommend a visit and see for your self. If you want some sample pics let me know and I will take some shots and post them in the Screenshot forum.

pmb Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 There bis an excellent freeware landclass available for Japan. See http://www.simforums.com/forums/japan-freeware-landclass-gex-asa-gep3d-users_topic44729.html I use this (together with Global + Vector + Pilot's 2010 Mesh) and it's really good. As long as we don't have an FTX Japan Region - which I still would *love* to see - this gives a quite good background. And, yes, this is a fascinating landscape.

Jon Clarke Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 I will try to remember where I visited and saw the elevated rails.No trains on it! I will then attach a pic or two. I need to find Fuji mountain. I saw car traffic on adjacent roads and was wondering why no traffic was on these elevated sections which looked like elevated highway, until I realised it was the rail lines.

Jon Clarke Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 @TigerTigerM Here is the elevated Highway & Rail running parallel . This is at Kansai RJBB. Takeoff and cross the water towards the city following the bridge. Regarding Mt Fuji I cannot locate an airport in P3D that is close but will try.

BoyScout Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I am actually here for work and I see more helicopters flying around then anything lol. Beautiful country it is fore sure. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmb Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I thought the closest airport to Mt. Fuji is Shizhuoka which is in the works by Wing Creations right now. Kind regards, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezochi Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 The northern part of the elevated ring road around Sapporo (just southwest of RJCO) looks great too. I think the basic Orbx treatment is quite nice. A region would send me over the moon! P.S. I've been here for 20 years, BoyScout. You in Honshu?

dominique Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I've listed in this thread.http://strips.proboards.com/thread/6/decent-landclass-japan the two main sources of freeware for Japan that I know : the indispensable Haruo's landclass and the "Let's fly" site (mostly in Japanese).

pmb Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Thanks Dominique. I didn't know about that freeware airports list. Aside my less fluent Japanese, all these goodies seem to be for FSX only, though. Prepar3d3 might be a bit hit or miss..or?

dominique Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I only have those from flightsim.com I think and they are FSX Accel., the other ones are a little complicated to get as I recall. Nothing was glaringly missing (like in a FS9 legacy addon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmb Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 As always, landclass must go below airports. I don't have that much Japanese airports right now, just those by Wing Creations and they sit directly above the three landclass entries (jpx_objects etc). The whole ORBX block is further below (which doesn't matter as it does not influence the region). Vector is still further down, but that's normal.

PeterNielsen Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Tks, i thought so but just wanted to be sure, Ill give it a try as Japan indeed is a great area to explore. Kind regards Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmb Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 As a sidenote: An alternative list in a better readable language (presumably for most of us) can be found in Robert Oosterloo's famous catalogue under http://www.freewarescenery.com/fsx/japan.html It even includes two P3D sceneries which I, however, didn't check that. That's probably all far from Narvik or Dubrovnik quality, but sure better than nothing. Kind regards, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Harmes Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 There is also a photoreal Mt Fuji available, I believe on Flightsim.com. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shermank Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Thanks for the tip on this LC. It is beautiful. I am not at all familiar with Japan except for some common landmarks. Rather than cross post, you can take a look at some shots taken on a flight yesterday posted in the screen shot section. Look for Ascending Mt. Fuji.

Jon Clarke Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 I have spent the last several hours trying to get a decent rendition of RJCC New Chitose Sapporo. Having googled I see that there is a flaw in FSX and probably P3D regarding the incorrect elevation detail for RJCC. If anyone in this topic can have a look and see if you also get the runways in a pit. It is still in a pit even without any mesh except default enabled.

Checked RJCC in P3D v3.5 & get the runways in pits. Have Pilot's Ultimate Asia mesh running but haven't had a look yet at what might be causing it.

Rodger Pettichord Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 When ORBX does a full fat Japan, I'll speed to the front of the purchase line. I agree with those who have noted above that this country has as spectacular a variety of scenery as do the PNW and NZ regions. I lived in northern Honshu and in the Tokyo region and really enjoyed the people and the beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 TTM. I too use Ultimate Asia but the problem is nothing to do with the mesh or Vector or any addon. It is a problem with FSX copied over into P3D regarding the incorrect elevation of that airport and the fact it is co-joined with RJCJ. Many articles in Avsim for example about it. I downloaded a file released end of last month for RJCC from avsim, but even that doesn't cure it.Looks like 2 airports to avoid. A payware would resolve it or somebody here at the forums who could do their magic with ADE. The other Sapporo option of RJCO works fine. Richard. I am with you on that.

Guest Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Japan is an exception in Asia with some GA. Elsewhere, it's null or zero and therefore aviation is mainly focused on liners so is FS communauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
