Popular Post John Venema Posted December 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2019 Located closer to Cuba than Miami, Key West benefits from year-round sunshine, tropical delights and stunning sunsets. Key West Airport is sat along the stunning Smathers Beach providing you with great views on the wing as you come into land on the short runway. Watch as the waves roll in and sea sparkle ahead of you. Situated on an island that is only 8-square miles means that the airport is relatively small. Only a 5,076-foot runway is used to get your aircraft into the air. The largest aircraft to visit the airport is a Delta Air Lines 737-700, with American soon to have an A319 visit frequently. This short runway, along with regularly high temperatures, often means pilots face a challenging take off with a small margin of error. Key West Seaplane Adventures is also based out of Key West offering scenic flights around the islands on tourist trips. Sparing no details, we have included all the buildings, hotels and major landmarks surrounding the airport, along with smaller details such as road signs, benches and much more. Extra attention is paid to ensuring the ultra-high-resolution satellite imagery blends seamlessly into the water and surrounding area. You can even see the detailed reefs under the water near the runway. Combining our experience of X-Plane development with our love for tropical and sun-drenched destinations, Key West is the perfect blend of visual delight and silky-smooth performance. The carefully crafted airport comes complete with PBR materials on all surfaces in the airport and finely detailed static aircraft in the airport for the ultimate Key West experience. With the unique Caribbean atmosphere and vibe, be sure to take a Cessna around the island to indulge yourself. Escape the winter chill and head to tropical Key West Airport. FEATURES Ultra-high-resolution satellite imagery surrounding the airport Plenty of detailed 3D models from terminal buildings to road signage Includes surrounding buildings such as hotels and major landmarks Fully PBR compliant for the most realistic looking models Visually breathtaking approach along the coast Several static aircraft bringing the airport to life Seamlessly blends into the upcoming TrueEarth US Florida KEYW Key West airport is due for release at the same time as TrueEarth USA Florida, and we will offer a bundle deal discount on KEYW for customers buying both at the same time. Stay tuned for more screenshots in the coming weeks! 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadtom65 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Looking good and I must say that we didn’t see that coming. I thought that after Northern California the next one would be Southern California. Well done Orbx. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't sell very well. It would be a state of one advancing mile upon the other, of the same topography...beige sand, with pockets of stalt mountain ranges, of 3,500 feet or less, like South Mountain Park. Such as that. I love Arizona, have lived in Arizona...but honestly, I am looking for such as what they have released already...varied topography....varied elevations. Even Florida, though flat, has such an ocean to land; 'presence', with such beauty to the eyes for any VR flight. Miles upon miles of desert sand....(except of course, for the north part of the state, Flagstaff, Sedona, etc) is what would make me pass it on by....even as an Arizonian. Where is Orbx releasing True Earth's?----->where there is a real life, color pallet differentiating features and elevations. Great Britain, the West Coast, Florida, and no doubt, soon bringing the East coast of the U.S/Canada.,...the Carolina's up to Nova Scotia/Newfoundland,....which fits their 'scent trail' of zones.... to date. I of course, could be totally wrong...but honestly, I don't think so.... Edited December 28, 2019 by Orbx Flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
