Hang Glider Hills Scenery/Dave R's Gliders
Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2014 3:43 amI thought I'd post s few captures from my Hang Glider Hills scenery, featuring David Rowberry's glider models. Trying to gauge interest for a follow up with more sites, the panel update for the sport2 I should've included, and a few more repaints.
This is FSX+Accel, standard mesh/textures, sliders maxed on Alienware X51/Windows 7.
Thanks to the "FSX Dive Captain" for doubling as my wireman, and the "Amazon Scientist" for helping out whenever she finds the time, as well as her dad, a retired "Bush Pilot/Ice Fisherman". Thanks also to my "Vegas Friend", who stays in contact with me via cell phone (don't tell the FCC) through some launches, and then is available for periodic check-ins, and updates as the flight progresses.
FTR, I know that some of these craft are technically not "hang-gliders", or even foot-launched sailplanes, in their presented forms. But they are fun, and landing tow-out gliders is just as fun, if you can fit em in the LZ. Since they fit with Dave's other gliders, and he was nice enough to give his blessing, I included them. His zips include instructions on how to change the tow plane.
I'll post some more later, I still need to add some text to those screen shots. I've gotten exactly zero feedback so far. Tell me what you think, even if its that my work sucks.
I make scenery all the time, but I usually don't upload it because I never know if its up to par, and because I'm such a scenery object library whore that I doubt most FSX users would be able to utilize a lot of the scenery I make.
