teecee Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Really looking forward to this. Pender and the surrounding areas have been my favorite since Larry's first release.. Who would have thought that it could be improved?? Teecee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradB Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Stillwater Bay to the northwest of Pender Harbour including the power station and surge tower is represented . That should make our forum member Gerold happy . Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only image I could find for the Stillwater powerhouse texture was a small jpg of an old faded postcard, not much to work with. I doctored it up some but I figured no one will be looking up close anyway. Maybe that's not the case now. The surge tower is better however.

FireRx Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 thanks for this one, Larry. Also, do you know if anyone has been doing upgrades to Jon Patch's Victoria. I love that local Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's fairly safe to say that an update of Jon's Vic Plus for Orbx PNW is not in the cards. Estates must be settled. I have toyed with the idea of doing the Inner and Outer Harbour in my style but for me it seems an overwhelming task at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireRx Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 yeah ,the inner docks elevation is a bit off. Other than that. it's still functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint George Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Best thanks for the update, it is great, nearly unbelievable, that it is freeware. My first attempt to find the Merry Island Helipad: Later I found a more comfortable Helipad without annoying railings Regards Saint George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I gather your found the actual helipad nearby... with the 'H' on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireRx Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Nice job on the people flow too, Larry. you can see the evolution of the robotic motion of the people to a more realistic and natural movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teecee Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Got to come back and say "thanks again Larry" this scenery is truly amazing..I flew the area in Google Earth (photoreal) and then went back to Pender in the sim..Your version is more true to life than Google.. absolute Sim magic.

Larry_R Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Thank you teecee! Low and slow is what the stuff is for. Many of the possible destinations in this area require local knowlege in real life so I tried to add some of that in the User Guide. I hope you have had a chance to look at the charts therein. Besides Google Earth, Navionics Webapp is a great resource. It will give you all the place names right down to the names of rocks and shoals among other things. https://webapp.navionics.com/?lang=en#boating@8&key=ysjmHbnftV You can then google the names if you are curious. Or you can click on a feature, say a nav aid, to find out more about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddler Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Larry, This is one of my most favored start points and short flight regions. What a beautiful piece of work you have done. My Milviz Beaver amphibian gets quite a workout here. I have yet to land the beaver at the float plane dock successfully at the end of the flight. Slow speed maneuver escapes me as I attempt the turn to land. Thanks for the navionics link as well. Very interesting. I really hope to see more of your work in this area of BC.

cwam Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Larry, I don't know what plans you have for future scenery projects in the area but wondered if you might ever be doing scenery anywhere near Snug Cove? Back in 2000 my wife and I honeymooned in Vancouver and as a special treat I had organised a float plane trip from the Harbour to Snug Cove for a meal and then back by ferry. I found the location in P3D/FSX but there just ins't much there apart from a ferry terminal. However, whatever you have planned I will be lapping it up anyway; I am another one who loves flying the Beaver in and out of your scenery!

teecee Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I really love ALL the addons in my sim.. but Larry's stuff is legendary..I spend more time in the area which his work covers than any other area..Keep up the great work Larry, and thank you.
