FTX Innsbruck Full Preview #2: A few of my favourite things


Recommended Posts

G'day all,

 

After a little more development time than originally planned, I am very excited to show off the second set of previews of Innsbruck Airport, focusing on the completed airport area. Every effort has been made to push the detail and quality envelope with, whilst still maintaining strong performance and VAS usage. A great deal of help has been provided by my friends Fabian K, Maximilian and Fabian S, who have shown endless patience with my hundreds of requests and questions.  I won't spend too much time just yet discussing the ins-and-outs of the airfield; this will come later. In the meantime, please find a shortened feature list for the airport. For first-time viewers, I would also strongly recommend visiting the original first previews for complete product feature list; this scenery is far larger than just the airport. 

 

SCENERY FEATURES:

Ultra high-definition rendition of Innsbruck airport

- Extremely detailed ground polygon optimised for FSX and P3D

- Over 30 static aircraft unique to LOWI - no type/skin seen in any other airport project to date!*

- Entirely new custom GSE for Innsbruck - highly detailed refuelling trucks, fire appliances, buses, carts, cars and more. 

- Highly accurate baked ambient occlusion and new lighting techniques

- Complex lighting options to match real-life (including the famous extended "Rabbit")

- Highly accurate APX designed by our resident guru, Graham Eccleston

- Advanced rendering, modelling and optimization techniques for best balance between performance and detail. 

* Aside from the B757 - this was also included with our recent Dubrovnik scenery. 

 

All shots a mix of FSX-A and P3D. 

 

As always, be sure to click on each pic to see in full resolution :)

 

Enjoy!

Oh - My - God !!!

This is incredible.

Really ?!!! This is Mozart,this is de Vinci. This is the essence of FS programming. It's about how to feel a place and transcript it in FS world.

Oh - My - God !!!

Dom

Well it can't be De Vinci. But this is just about giving a huge amount of work in every squarred inch of the scenery.

So, yes, its De Vinci. In 2054, people will remind you of De Jarrad or The Marshall. (no i haven't drink yet).

Ooooohhhhh

 

 

Hmm maybe Johannes Vermeer.

I have travelled this valley 100s of times with train up to Seefeld but this will be my first visit to the airport. It looks jaw-dropping fantastic and spot on! You keep raising the bar with every airport Jarrad. So many details included, that it is hard to imagine the number of hours you have dedicated to this new masterpiece.

The greatest scenery I have ever seen..!!

Just the parked cars.. any chance to get modern european cars?

 

I guess "modern cars" (rounded?) would eat up polygons real fast; aside from that I think I remember having seen quite a lot of trucks/jeeps in the Alps, so it's actually quite a good fit unless you take a really close look at the parking lots. :)

We licensed Euro cars from TurboSquid but they were FPS eaters so Jarrad has recoloured our very low poly libs to ensure you don't get a slide show.

 

Thats interesting. Would be amazing if we could get to the point (maybe with one of these new sims on the horizon) that we could see that license realized. They make beautiful models at TurboSquid

You are seeing a masterclass in airport development, nothing less.

Now THAT's understatement! You name any superlative, I second that instantly. Some of the pictures do look like photos that were taken on the real airport. Regarding the cars: even in the alps pickup trucks are not that common on european parking lots, and the most VW T3-Model Campers/Multivans have found their way to the scrapyard. But that doesn't change my enthusiasm one bit. You got me! I will even use my credit card for this one!;)

Waiting for Ian...
