Holger Sandmann Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hi guys, when we worked on Pacific Northwest, our first NA region, we didn't have access to our own library of static GA planes yet and thus relied heavily on the default FSX models, some of which are, well, "boxy". While we've already replaced some of those in previous service packs we now have started a side project to deal with the remainder. Unfortunately, there's no easy way of scanning hundreds of placement files for specific models so we're hoping you can help us tracking them down. In particular we're looking for those default static GA planes that come as clusters of half a dozen planes or so and have very low detail compared to single-airplane statics. Two of those cluster types are shown in the screenshots below and there are two other similar object clusters. Most of these are probably located at mid-sized airports that are home to quite a few private or flying school GA aircraft; for example, the screenshots below were taken at Bellingham (KBLI). If you come across any of these clusters please let us know the ICAO or name of the airport in this thread and we'll add it to our to-do list. Thanks for your help! Cheers, Holger P.S.: I don't think we used any of these clusters in the other NA region. However, should you spot any in CRM, NRM, or PFJ, please report them too.

wallyboard Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hi Holger, There used to be some of those planes at KTIW Tacoma Narrows. Also for sure at CYCD Nanaimo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro VH-JET Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hi Holger, Only too happy to help you out, can't think of any ot the moment but I'll keep my eyes peeled and report back. I can only provide for PNW, so now its time for some recon flying I guess, you could call it an official accreditation tour. Cheers Jethro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocBird Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hi Holger, I will also keep my eyes open when flying tonight. Best regards, Till Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribou Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Howdy Holger - I'll also keep my eyes open an report back. It's great that Orbx continues to improve their already good products........ Thanks Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocBird Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I made a flight in the control area of KPDX (starting to the north flying clockwise) to the following airports: KPDX (PORTLAND INTL) WA87 (PARKSIDE AIRPARK) WA67 (GREEN MOUNTAIN) 1W1 (GROVE FIELD) KTTD (PORTLAND-TROUTDALE) S48 (COUNTRY SQUIRE AIRPARK) 5S9 (VALLEY VIEW) 4S9 (MULINO STATE) 7S9 (LENHARDT AIRPARK) KUAO (AURORA STATE) I only spotted clusters of static default plane at KTTD and KUAO. Tonight I will continue from KUAO (AURORA STATE) via 2S6 (SPORTSMAN AIRPARK) KMMV (MC MINNVILLE MUNI) 17S (CHEHALEM AIRPARK) 7S3 (STARK'S TWIN OAKS AIRPARK) KHIO (PORTLAND-HILLSBORO) KSPB (SCAPPOOSE INDUSTRIAL AIRPARK) to final destination at W27 (WOODLAND STATE) BTW: I was once again deeply impressed by the visual experience of the Orbx-scenery! Although the settings are maxed out and the Orbx-weather created a lot of REX-clouds I still have 30+ fps in this urban region! Perfect entertainment!

Jethro VH-JET Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 HI Holger, Ok So I've checked another 169 Airfields resulting in only 1 more for the list of Boxy Static light aircraft Marked in RED, I still have 170 AP left to check. 1S0 Pierce Co -Thun Below is the full list up till this point I'm checking in a sort order, so none are missed which means that mostly theres going to be many farm type strips without the cluster style Statics - but I can't know that until visiting each one the slow way (Methodically).

Holger Sandmann Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hi guys, many thanks for the "group hunt" for those blocky aircraft, especially to Jethro7! Chris has already started on replacing static aircraft and making other updates and your lists are his starting point. By the way, there's no deadline for this project so you can keep adding to the lists for a while yet. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro VH-JET Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hi Holger, I thought there might be 170 APs left to check but as it turns out 126 was the actual figure. So these are the remaining 126 APs checked from the PNW Zone, according to the Google Earth PNW .kmz, (367 APs Total). I hope none were missed, but its always possible to miss some. This time only one AP with Boxy Statics was found.
