Aimee Sanjari Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 CAE3 Campbell River Water Aerodrome is coming to Prepar3D v3 & v4! So... you have been to CAC8, CAX6, CAG8 and YRC; where to next? How about Campbell River Water Aerodrome and the city of Campbell River BC? CAE3 Campbell River Water Aerodrome was said to be the busiest seaplane base in the world during the 1970’s. It’s not so busy now but instead has the character that no polished facility can match. No PA system with that well modulated voice you can’t understand. A look at the odds and ends on the seaplane docks tells you that it’s a working SPB. CAE3 is located on Tyee Spit at the mouth of Campbell River just north of the centre of the city by the same name. It is the home of Corilair, Grizzly Helicopters,Vancouver Island Air and West Coast Helicopters . Campbell River, the “Salmon Fishing Capital of the World” and in particular Tyee Spit are famous for the salmon fishing. At Tyee Pool the fishing is done from rowboats which you will find modeled in the scenery. The city of Campbell River lies at the junction of the more populated southern part of Vancouver Island and the mostly undeveloped northern half. It has the feeling of a little bit of both. Key Features All of Tyee Spit as a large model, including Corilair, Grizzly Helicopters, Vancouver Island Air, West Coast Helicopters, associated docks and other buildings. The city of Campbell River North Campbell River Nystar buildings and dock with detailed static ship Ocean Wind John Hart Generating Station Five Campbell River marinas with custom boats Campbell River ferry terminal Quathiaski Cove ferry terminal Cape Mudge Lighthouse and grounds April Point Marina and Spa, with helipad The AI cruise ship Norwegian Jewel going from the Campbell River Cruise Ship Terminal to Victoria BC and back.

Kim Sibbritt Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Say what When did Orbx announce there would be no more scenery for FSX. Its the only sim I use & I have no intention of ever changing. FSX works just great for me & I've spent too much time & money to start again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened in on one of their live video feeds on FB a couple months back & they said they would be cutting support & development on FSX products. Unless they've had a change of heart, I haven't heard anything. I've spent a bundle on ORBX & my sim as well. It would be a shame if they gave up on FSX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 ...............how is this freeware? All of these freeware seaplane bases are absolutely brilliant! The time and effort put into this, and then to release them as freeware boggles my mind! What a beauty this one is too!! Will the freeware “Stuff4FS Campbell River” play nice with this new Campbell River SPB scenery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the only sim I use & I have no intention of ever changing. FSX works just great for me & I've spent too much time & money to start again. First, this is freeware so the developer is not obliged to cater to anyone's specific needs or expectations. He does it in his free time because he enjoys it and if he decides to share his scenery with other people it's totally up to him in which way or for what platform. If he himself uses Prepar3d as his simulator of choice it seems logical to develop for P3D Second, the Prepar3d SDK offers possibilities for modeling and texturing FSX simply doesn't have. Most developers would like to have their vision look as good as possible and P3D has options to improve the appearance of the scenery that are not available nor backwards compatible with FSX. Converting for FSX would be an additional time consuming effort and probably just a tedious, not at all fun task. A Payware developer might choose to invest the time of converting his product for as many platforms as possible to increase sales. A freeware developer has nothing to gain from this and probably wants to spend his precious free time on flying or developing a new scenery which is probably way more fun than porting old stuff. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the freeware “Stuff4FS Campbell River” play nice with this new Campbell River SPB scenery? Thanks Ziggy, The PR for CAE3 does not include CYBL so unless Don's version extends well beyond the airport itself there should be no problem. There will however be a problem at Cape Mudge if you use a PNW lighthouse package that places a lighthouse there. The same problem will occur at the Merry Island lighthouse that is part of CAG8. I'll try to describe the solution in the compatibility forum when the time comes. Oh, yes, the time and effort: a year for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The time you’ve put into these sceneries is so so very much appreciated! ORBX PNW and Your Freeware Sceneries Together with RTMM, Vic + and the spots that Don G. (Stuff4FS) has done, make the Vancouver Island area by far the best place to fly in P3D V4! Really can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done. Cheers!

Cyclone1 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Larry, you are one heck of a talented developer sir! You picked a gorgeous location to surprise all of us flight simmers with this seaport! To work on a project for a year and then generously share your hard work says volumes about your character; Thank You Sir, your work is excellent and I am sure all simmers out there agree. Lastly, you could have charged for this scenery and you did not, I think Santa Claus may just be real and the community just had Christmas in April; lol! Thank you again!

Larry_R Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Hi folks, I hesitate to say this; with my previous release announcements I really can't remember any negative comments at all. I find the ones here discouraging, especially for someone like me who does only freeware for my own reasons. If by chance they were not aimed directly at me, perhaps they could be posted in another thread where they could be debated and would not detract from what I had hoped would be a happy announcement.

Larry Yes Larry I agree wholeheartedly. The Africa LC comments don't belong here and IMHO should be removed by a moderator. For those who are sticking with FSX: Your sim works exactly as it always has. If you choose to stick with it, just continue to enjoy the scenery that works with it but don't expect developers to downgrade their products to accommodate your choice.
