Voyager Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Nice indeed. But, here's no criticism, I would like to see the next without HDR or any other makeup. If this is possible, I will appreciate it very much. Thanks mate, and keep up the good job you have been doing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Nice shots. Definitely one to go for. And nice to see the F33A N 5582Y. I flew the real N 5582Y one almost 16 years ago but in its original colors (gues it was either yellow or white with red/blue stripes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonman Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Stunning shots John! All really looking very, very good! But what really got my attention somehow is the fact that this default airport here has some very "vital" and realistic looking edges. Looking forward now to the next preview set!

Jack the Swede in Spain Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Thanks for the shots! Lived for 10 years in Norway, after I left Sweden and before I moved to Spain, so I´m pretty familiar to the country and it looks just super. I fly a lot in Scandinavia with all the Scandinavian freeware/payware installed in P3D 2.4 and looking forward to see how it all will blend together. Seems we are going to have a christmas present after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Christoph, glad you like them. Norway is chock full of some really special and challenging airports.. and whats more, Neil Hill has upgraded them with all sorts of clutter, people flow etc. From what I have seen so far, he has done a tremendous job on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Venema Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 We have invested heavily in new custom airport building models, railway bridges and tons of POIs modelled so it's a step up from what you're used to for sure. We have plenty of photoreal areas and also a cityscape in NOR, more previews will reveal those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simmerhead2 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 This is looking awesome. Seems that you have managed to faithfully reproduce the typical small village like settlements and rural areas of Norway. Can't wait to see what you have done to the dramatic fjords and mountains of Northern Norway (East of Bodø, Lofoten, North-East of Tromsø, South of Evenes etc.). The featured airport looks very nice too! ENSG Høgåsen (Sogndal) and ENSD Anda (Sandane) are two amazing fjord airports with spectaculat approaches. I hope Tore Stranden can deliver his sloped runway magic at ENSD Anda, because the slope there is really extreme. Good luck finnishing up the product and cheers to the team!

Not large areas, but very much a part of Norway - and very interesting areas to fly in (especially Svalbard - being so faaaar north. Maybe the first Orbx Polarbear-flow is needed?).

Neil Hill Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Hi All, Actually EN67 and ENSB airports on Svalbard Isle are included in NOR but the rest of the area is not updated. They're pretty simple as are the real airports. For those interested in the detail work on the NOR airports, that was done by Chris Clack, I did the ground work and the main buildings and let Chris do his detail magic as I was also in charge of adding all the final LC and poly work for NOR. I'm very happy to see the positive response, a lot of work has gone into this from quite a few of us. Cheers, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
