Another Before and After
Posted: Sat Jun 04, 2005 1:04 pmJust wanted to share another before and after using Lago's FSE and FSE Exchange programs. If you would like to see some closeups of the details let me know and I can post a few of those too 
This is default CJQ9, Big Sand lake, Manitoba
And this is after (spring season):
As you can see, quite a difference.
Some things you cant see are the tracks. There are several vehicles that move around such as a yogurt delivery truck making a stop at the little bar and grill, a tanker truck delivering fuel, a few vehicles stopping at their prospective hangers, each sailboat rocks with the waves that have sails down; there are several sailboats with sails up that move on tracks and rock as they move. Each sailboat track is approx one and a half hours long from start to finish. There is also a lumber transport ship that moves off in the distance on a track that was over 2 hours long, and a barge pushing railroad cars that moves in the opposite direction.
Campfires, smoke from the chimneys except in summer and at night, different things appear depending on the season and time of day, and during the winter, most of the shore grasses die off and dissappear, and there is very little activity except a sand truck that is on a track ever hour and a half salting the runway just in case a weary pilot comes in for a landing, however the little Bar and Grill is closed during the winter.
The concession stand is only open when its springtime or summer, and is "taken apart" and stowed away in autumn and winter. Dumpsters fill up quickly when there are people around but are empty when its cold, etc.
There are also sound files scattered about that change depending on the season and the time of day, ie, bird chatter disappears at night and the crickets and frogs come out, but in winter except for the occasional wolf howl at dusk or night, you only hear the winds howling.
A lot of fun but a lot of work. I estimate scenery for this one took around 60 + hours as I carefully scale everything by using the default Cessna 182 and measuring with my eyes, the pilot inside and the item Im placing, as well as place the item as perfectly as I can
Its like painting in the flight sim lol
If you want the scenery its available in the Lago FSE Exchange downloads (but I recommend having the terrain mesh for FSGenesis Canada as well as Ultimate Terrain by Flight1). Also recommend having a good system that can handle it as i placed roughly 300 items around the area lol
(Fall season) If you look closely you can see some of the changes
(Winter Season) - No vehicles other than the Police at the small terminal and you can see the salt truck on its track. Also the grasses to the left have died back.
As I said, if you want some detail shots let me know and I can make another thread of them.
Thanks for looking
Stephen
