joe d park Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Hi Guys If I can remember JV said in a post that Scotland should hopefully be ready by end of March/ April. I'm just wondering is there any preview teasers ? Cheers Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinamuab Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I am really looking forward to Scotland, having lived in the Highlands for a number of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripcord Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 This should be very good, looking forward to it. I hope we get a freebee Glasgow or Edinburgh, similar to the Cardiff version we got in FTX Wales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripcord Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Never hurts to ask -- though clearly Cardiff is a much smaller airport that those that I named. So maybe not a good analogy in terms of the work required. Maybe in the next week or two we'll have some first screenshots to admire? Or, no?

John Venema Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 You'll see screenshots when we have something to show. SCO will feature a photoreal downtown Edinburgh as the "sweetener". Lots of POI models from 29Palms are already done and look great! Here is the Forth Bridge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Here is the Forth Bridge... Now THAT's something that I want to see in FSX. My great-grandfather was an engineer and involved in the bridge's construction... I even have a little medal made from the iron that they used. The model certainly looks fantastic.

stevehowe Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I also have a past association with the Forth road bridge.. i got absolutely paralytic in the pub underneath it,have vague memories of lying in the road under the bridge looking up at it and thinking ..Help still makes me wince when i think of the Hangover. steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toriu Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Would a model of Steve under the Forth Bridge be possible?,,,,,Maybe in inebriated flow. Second thoughts it could be static. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Hannant Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 As an Edinburgh resident for 38 years - wow, simply wow... Would love to see the following beautifully modelled within Edinburgh (and can hope that these will be!): - Holyrood Palace* - Edinburgh Castle (with landable esplanade)* - Scott Monument - Scottish Parliament - Royal Scottish Academy - National Gallery - St. Giles - Tron Kirk - Royal Mile - Waverley Station - Balmoral Hotel - Calton Hill *These two surely will... I realise those are a hefty wishlist but these are iconic landmarks within the city and would provide great eye candy for GA flyers doing a tour over the city.

John Venema Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Many of those have been modelled for us; I'll ask Lars to make a compilation shot of them for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Hannant Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Fantastic news John. Currently use Edinburgh X which has these (and a few more although the Castle isn't landable) and they're OK but not what you guys can produce... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Watson Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Time to deactivate scot flight soon! Think I can name most of them, and been to, on, over many of them! I hope the Ballachulish bridge is modelled so we can fly under it like the guy who done it a few years ago and got into a wee bit of trouble!

Trevor Hannant Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Here you go, the Scotland POIs ... Looks fab John, thanks! Easter Road Stadium (the one over at the right) looks a bit different to the model there as the lower stand has been replaced by one of equal height to the one opposite - perhaps one for a service pack.

domfliss Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Wonderful stuff! Is there a chance that you are including Murray's Monument? />http://www.flickr.com/photos/dabgp/8119644103/ />http://www.walkscotland.plus.com/Galloway/pages/cairnsm_f/cairnsm_f_mm.htm When you're flying over Cairnsmore of Fleet it gives you a great reference point; especially as it's close to Clatteringshaws Loch.

KTFO1 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Can't wait for this. Fly nearly all the time into Edinburgh so can't wait for the experience. Especially over the photoreal Edinburgh on the approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
