Ripcord Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Word is there is another airport on the way for FTX NOR...? Is this accurate? http://www.airdailyx.net/fsnewsbreaker/2016/12/9/its-gonna-be-a-hammerfeast Well you cheeky devils, you. Evidently somebody here has slid a copy under the door to our buddy here, and I would imagine he is authorized to talk about it - otherwise he would keep mum (although he'd be damn sure to tell us all that he knew something that couldn't talk about). So what is it? Come on, fellas, out with it. Spill the beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john548 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 hi Hammerfeast has been mentioned in Preview Screenshots and Videos along with screenshots. You must have missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack the Swede in Spain Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Also the Norwegian developer has posted pictures on the Norwegian forum and informed that it would be released in the beginning of december.

deepstar Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Hi john548 No, the next airport after ENHF is probably ENBO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmb Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 May I see this as an indication Norway sells better than Half-Germany...? Or, does anyone know any ORBX GEN-airport in the works? (And no, Innsbruck is no part of Germany ) Kind regards, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: I did see JV's post that ENBO was in the works, but Tore has been working at this for years. Nothing at all would suggest to me that it was getting close - but goodness, I would love to be wrong about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack the Swede in Spain Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 http://flightsim.no/forum/index.php?topic=85242.0 Well my friend, I do mean Hammerfest and sorry, the posting #5 actually says "Den er ute iløpet av november." and as you can see it says november not december.

Ripcord Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 JJ thanks for sharing. Norwegian was the language of my ancestors, but unfortunately my grasp of that language is close to zero. 34 minutes ago, pmb said: May I see this as an indication Norway sells better than Half-Germany...?

I admit, most of us aren't that good at geography (I do consider myself an exception). Probably half the kids at my daughters middle school aren't even aware that there is a place called Austria and those that do, I suspect, would think they have kangaroos there. : ) I would say that FTX NOR has been on the market longer and they at least two 'home-grown' developers in that country, which are quite active. Perhaps recruiting in Germany has gone a bit slower, in terms of bring good devs onboard. Plus it is a more recent region. Not sure it is fair to call it more popular just yet.

Neil Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I think the next Norwegian airport will be Bodo, has been in progress for quite a long time. Norwegian airports are more popular than Northern Germany, why, they are more scenic, we love mountains and the sea, Norhern Germany is flat! That said, Southern Germany should be good.

I am not that good when it comes to the US either. Aside a few regions in the West where I've been once (and which I happily recall), I often have to google when a new announcement is made.

Finni Hansen Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 hammerfest is in last stages of testing, ran into some really nasty problems with transparency in fsx... As for the other airport, it is not made by orbx. I'm thinking maybe Jo Erlend, although aerosoft usually are sharing previews very early in the development phase!Very excited to see what's in the present!!

But from a simming perspective, Norway is just more attractive to me due to the terrain. That said, Southern Germany should be a different being altogether. Looking forward to that one. In the meantime, Norway has become one of my favorite places to fly in P3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripcord Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 Yep, there you go -- I was confused. Probably Jo Erland, I agree it is a bit strange that there were no preview threads. Not his normal M.O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vora Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 How many top designers can a country of 5 mio people have? Jo Erlend ... would have been in Aerosoft's preview forum by now as he uses to show development shots early. Tore.... is on Bodø. The perfectionist he is it'll take some time. Finni... is on Hammerfest. Already mentioned. With nothing announced on FSDeveloper the only other Norwegian designer I could think of is Joakim Tychesen who did a damn fine Torp Sandefjord two years ago. Of course, that implies that the designer is from Norway in the first place, which is not a must - Sandane was made by Andreas Hegi. Anyways, I would buy any Norwegian airport by any designer in a heart beat by now - I have crossed the line of no return for that fine country. For me a killer airport connecting the northern and southern airports with my slow airplanes would be brilliant. Somewhere in southern Nordland or Trøndelag would be just perfect.

Ripcord Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 Might be somebody new on the scene. There were a couple guys that made some decent freeware sceneries for Norway, maybe one of them made the leap to payware standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack the Swede in Spain Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Well there iare one or more, the best developers in Norway, in my opinion, who has stated that they will never sell their souls to a commercial company. Ask the mentionend Norwegian developers, who has been their mentors! Just look at the commercial ENGM, ENBR and compare with the freeware options.... not even in the same league.

Fresh blood would be good news indeed. I just realized that Joakim Tychesen is the designer behind Aerosoft's upcoming Pisa X, so I ran out of established Norwegian designers.

John Venema Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 We have another Norway airport currently in beta but I've held up preview screenshots until certain aspects of the scenery were further refined. The developer is a nine year Orbx veteran who is EU-based. So in total we have three Norway airports coming and maybe even more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripcord Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hey JV, sorry to be a pest -- I wonder if you might give us another one of those 'guess the airport' challenges.

Jorge Bach Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Very good news to me I've flown to all the Norwegian airports on FTX Norway (See my YT channel), before any Orbx airport was published. Now I have the 3 FTX airports plus the freeware ENSG & ENJA. Hope in few months could make another tour on many Orbx airports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vora Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Okay, so my bets are on Andreas Hegi, whose last name (so very Swiss) implies that he knows a thing or two about mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
