Mark Bennett Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 KVUO is the field I fly out of, to say I have been waiting for this release is the understatement of the past few years. I just wanted to post a pic I snapped while refueling so you all can compare Bill's work with the real thing... Amazing work as always Bill.

Great work Bill, nailed it again. The guy on the bike moved the pallet, and the bush was due to an overzealous gardener That is an awesome comparison shot, thanks for sharing the pic Mark. You're a lucky guy to be flying out of that field too . Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caleb1 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Womack is great, I must say. I have 2B2/6B6 and KACK and they are all done very well. What kind of plane is that in the first picture?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Womack Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I must have spent too much time with this airport lately.

Mark Bennett Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 Bill, I think you can hold off on the service pack. That photo was taken 5 years ago. I was only looking for photos that matched the screenshots on the ORBX page and that one jumped out. I didn’t even notice the Epic/BP logo change. Sorry if I caused a moment of panic!

Mark Bennett Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 Sorry Bill but your relief is going to be short lived. I just checked to be sure and the current sign and the pump have the Epic logo not AirBP. Your photo recon trip must have been before I snapped that photo in June of 2013. If you ever do a service pack can you put the 10-12 foot hedge between the Fred Meyer parking lot and that building with the blue roof at the east end of the runway? In real life you can’t really see into the Fred Meyer parking lot from the runway because of that hedge and the small hill between the threshold and the blue building. I remember the old flight zone scenery had the hill modeled but you could drive under it. I’m guessing it was a hack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caleb1 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Oh no, poor Bill. Back to the stress of having a inaccurate logo! But really, who cares about a logo, not us. You really have nothing to worry about Bill, you did a great job on this scenery. One logo is not a big deal, really. It's just something to maybe change when you get bored and have no other airports to develop. [emoji846] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Bennett Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 Trust me, I don’t care one bit about the logo. I’m just so glad to finally have such an amazing representation of my home area. The ability to have the real visual cues for pattern work is so nice. And Bill if you want total KVUO realism you’ll need to model the fuel pump at KSPB because that’s where most folks fuel up, it’s cheaper. (Shhh, that’s a secret) Still hoping for Tillamook ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be long until every airport in the Pacific Northwest will be done by Orbx!Have you co considered doing KKLS Longview? The one enhanced with PNW is very nice, and I have flown there many times, but a full featured payware would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Cedergren Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Ranger Creek Airport, thats one cool airstrip in the middle of nowhere, what character. I hope that will be done at some point. Imagine it with TrueEearth PNW!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sounds this time. A few users experienced sim crashes with the sounds enabled for 2B2-6B6, so I decided to do a bit of research and see if I could track down the problem first. If I can isolate and fix it, we'll do an update at some point with sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a similar post years ago and Tim Harris told me the following: “Theres a nice OZx version around if you look for it, its made by a former Orbx developer (John Hockings)” I found it and had it installed in FSX but since moving to P3D I forgot about it. Maybe it’s been updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I can understand because whenever I plan a flight to the coast it's overcast, even when the rest of the PNW is clear, and when it isn't it's because it's really windy. McMinnville would be another interesting airport with the museum across the street and all the aircraft on display outside, including the 747 on top of the water park.
