Marcus Nyberg Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Hi, Earlier this year we announced ESSD Dala Airport, a small regional airport in Dalarna, Sweden. Today we are happy to announce that it will be part of an airport bundle and I'm eager to also show you some screenshots of ESNQ Kiruna Airport. Kiruna is a mining town in the far north of Sweden, located beautifuly in the wild landscapes of Lappland. There are daily flights to Stockholm Arlanda and just across the border you'll find Narvik, so you will for sure be able use your Orbx-sceneries to commute. With this package I'm also very proud to announce snow as rarely seen before in the simulator. As a native Swede, snow is close to heart and we bring you 3D-snow that will make the airports really come to life during wintertime with hardly any performance hit. I hope you will enjoy the screenshots, remember it being work in progress and things might change. So, enough talking, here we have ESNQ Kiruna Airport and ESSD Dala Airport. Regards, Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boetie Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Best simulated snow I've seen. It'll be nice to have a nearer destination from Arlanda. Great news Marcus! Cheers Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caleb1 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I literally thought some of those were real photos. No kidding. FS really needs 3D snow, it makes everything look much nicer. I liked CZST for that reason, it has a good amount of 3D snow. If Orbx were to add this technology to their regions it would be incredible. Maybe even as a separate product to cover the whole continent or country, and I would pay $54.95 AUD for it. It's worth that much (or at least in my mind). Winter in FS needs improved.

PFS Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 s'Now that's amazing! Sim immersion, like this snow, is getting deeper with each new ORBX release. Can't wait for this "SnowFlow" airport set! -Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I also thought these were real photos. Man, I have to learn to stop being amazed by what Orbx is doing, you guys keep upping the quality bar, I’m loving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metthos Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Very nice. Do not forget to put winter clothing on ground staff during winter. Are you going to model mosquitoes for summertime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mburkhard Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 @Marcus Nyberg Really can't wait for these to be released! I hope you will pay special attention to night lighting, especially for ESNQ, lot's of night flying will be done there. Judging from your screenshot where the runway lights are visible, they don't look particularly realistic. The light blurb size needs to be a lot smaller in appearance, otherwise it would be quite blinding to land and depart on that runway. I know it's WIP, just saying so it can still be changed while you work on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvdboomen Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I was reading the text and saw already a glimpse of the first photo... Yes, photo! I really thought that it was an onsite photograph to develop the airfield! Now knowing, those are actually screen captures I still believe this looks very, very realistic!

BrianV Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 These shots look terrific and indeed the snow textures look amazingly real. I hope we get a chance to explore it before the winter sets in, as northern lights up there are stunning too. Fantastic work Marcus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porsche Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Looks a lot like some airports in the Canadian arctic. I flew in Canada's arctic both fixed and rotary for a lot of years. retired now. Can practically feel the wind blowing across the ramp in the pics......I will purchase when the sceneries are available. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikelab6 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Wow ! I was looking at the first 4 pictures and was sure these were real pictures from the real airport. I figured it out it was ORBX scenery when looking at the fifth one... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Thank you for sharing the preview pics. They look amazing! Wow, Dala (Just looked it up on Google maps) is close to where my best friend lives. He and his wife just moved to Uppsala. I guess I'll be flying over them more often than I had previously thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vora Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Wow, Just wow... talking about raising the bar. That's what I call winter. I have friends near Falun which I visited couple of times. So I fell in love with Dalarna and its red houses. Glad to see Dala getting the full OrbX treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
