Gisborne NZGS

[Dash8captain]

Hi Everyone, I was wondering whether there is a Gisborne Airport out there for FSX I have never found one, Or is someone currently working on one? I have just flown there recently and it is actually a cool little airport would someone possibly be able to do one?

Cheers

The place they could'nt decide what it was ... airport , train station , airport , train station , this is were we needed out Skyhooks , what happens when there is a Choo Choo on the runway ! ... you cant simply stop the plane air now can you ! ...... with a Skyhook not a problem

I've made one for the next release of the VLC Nth Island airports - Deane B was kind enough to provide the Fletcher for the gate guardian there but all the rest are VLC library objects and default objects

Shouldnt be too far away- I just want to finish the updates to the VLC libraries first so I can incorporate some of the new objects around the place

Ill pop some pics up in a bit

Does that mean we might get Fletchers as placeable VLC objects? Would be great to see these dotted around our rural strips.

[Timmo]

That would be a question for Deane to answer but I believe he has been working on a set of agricultural objects associated with topdressing (hoppers, trucks etc)

[Timmo]

Some pics. I also had finished populating the port and town with some objects....unfortunately whisplacer corrupted that file so I'll need to re-do it

[Ian Warren]

Looking Great and look a Skyhook has elevated a Fletcher .

[AdrianPetford]

Superb work Timmo, looking forward to the updated North Island Airfields pack. It'll be great to get some new VLC content.

Hopefully Gisborne will be available in time for when I reach there on my NZ national Tour.

Sweet - looking foward to it Timmo. From your shots looks fantastic

[Dash8captain]

When will this be available

[Timmo]

Just waiting on the library update to be finalised.....hopefully next week should see a flurry of activity!
Cheers

[Splitpin]

Wow......looking good Timmo. Im about to reload VLC .

[Ian Warren]

Hey Tim are you going have an AI Choo Choo with smoke and Whistles run its way along the tracks ( Just for Marty) .... jeez ..i can be a Smart Ass sometimes

[Timmo]

haha I would love to have that Ian....I believe it is 'possible' using an animation but that would require at least a photoreal base etc (i.e. a custom modeled airport as opposed to an update using library objects)

Funny you say that, have a look at this.

Now i wonder , a rather good model builder could create the similar thing as AI shipping , then again , after the flooding and rail washed away .. just to much for so little .

Very impressive effort by ORBX. Can anyone tell me, though, why we can't have proper rivers in FSX? Is it really that hard to make basic water flowing like a river does instead of have the generic "cut and paste large body of water / big puddle" thing? Having proper rivers - that aren't boring, static ones in photoreal - would give FSX a decent lift in realism.

[Ian Warren]

One reason i continually mention photo , now if you study ORBX rivers being ahead of the game exactly what they did for a texture .. to have rivers and coastlines work the same is a task that is huge but not impossible task .. old saying is .. simply takes time , and many just don't get payed for all addon's produced .. FSX is doing well by compare off its six year ago release .
