John Venema Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 We've kept this one a little quiet for a while, but I'm pleased to say that Alderney is almost done and will be in beta soon. Here are a few screenshots of the beautiful coastline, from Greg Jones' PC. FSX/P3D version will be released first, with XP11 version to follow soon after.

Jack Sawyer Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I’ve been waiting a while for these, had these by another company for FSX, forget the name of the company. I can’t wait, day 1 buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianV Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 It looks awesome, looks like we are in for a lovely autumn. I look forward to see airport closeups. Will EGJA display seasonal variations or be more in line with the TrueEarth products? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinfirth Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Some good visuals, does this include seasons like the original ES scenery? There are some slight issues with beaches climbing the cliffs in the second shot though... Are the soundscapes and living world elements from the ES version retained or updated as well please?

John Venema Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 Yes Alderney include seasons and the original ES sound pack. The beaches climbing cliffs is not avoidable since we are using perhaps the highest resolution mesh available in FSX/P3D, and the data is obviously misaligned to the real world. We could try some sloped flattens to rectify those if it’s not a huge amount of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to see some local enhanced boat traffic around Alderney please as well if that's possible? Some small local fishing boats pottering around would be nice? Happy to test any of this if it would be of value? cheers K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I didn't purchase the latter as I would have been peeved, if it was summer all the time in my FTX scenery. And what about the planned regional UK airports... will these be designed to work with FTX and TrueEarth. It would be nice to have this clearly advertised without having to scour the fine print or forums. It's all getting rather confusing of late. Thank you.

John Venema Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 Probably because you're asking them in non-support topics which are not monitored by the support team. Of course Alderney will work with Global, FTX England and TE GB South, why would it not. EGLC should also work with all three. If you are having issues making EGLC work with FTX England then please post in the appropriate support forums, not preview threads. If you have done so, wait until you get support instead of posting here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe777 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Well will it work with in the sense of having seasonal changes, as do FTX regions. Work, blend and match are very subjective terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
