Whidbey Island NAS add on scenery in the works.......

[CHUCK79]

Photoreal coverage of the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in Oak Harbor, Wa. Photoreal scenery will include seasonal and night textures. All taxiways, runways and aprons redone to match real world imagery. Over 40 custom buildings have been modeled using Google Earth and other sources for reference. I used imagery of the actual roofs for most buildings. Over 100 parking spaces added (combat/cargo) using Google Earth images for reference Also added are static EA-6B and FA-18 aircraft by Guy Diotte on the aprons and working FLOLS trailers and arresting gear by Sylvain Parouty.

Here are some shots....

















There's still some work to do....a few buildings still need to be modeled and I need to either try to model or find a static P-3 Orion. I have tried using Mike Stone's FS9 model, but it kills FPS for some reason. I haven't tried converting KBT's Orion with SAMM yet.....I have a feeling that it will have the same result.

If any of you GMAX wizards out there feel like whippin' out a simple static U.S. Navy P-3 Orion........
I thought I'd ask. In the mean time I'll try sharpening my GMAX skills

Very nice Chuck! So are you building the base yourself for the sim or is it an outside source? I have the MAIW Whidbey Island NAS on my FS9. I have some shots of it from the air out of the cockpit of my EP-3 and some ground shots too with the EP-3 and EA-6B. I will post them today sometime. The base you have looks great.

Well well well, NICE work 8-)

Thanks guys

@Ratdog........I'm doing it all myself. It's a little time consuming, but it's rewarding at the same time 8-)

I also should add that you'll want to get a GMAX model of an EA-18G Growler such as possibly this one - http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-super-hornet-fighter-ea-18g-model/668455 - and populate the western end of the tarmac with them.

awsome work.. cant wait for the release. will this be compatiable with orbx ftx or UTx Canada.

[yancovitch]

[CHUCK79]

Thanks, guys.....yes, I am using GEX and OrbX PNW. I don't have UTX but I think it should be completely compatible
