RealScenery Northern California

[RealScenery]

RealScenery Northern California is currently nearing completion. With this release, all of the airports will be aligned with the underlying imagery. This includes runways as well as taxiways and ramp areas. I have posted a few screen shots of the airports. A total of 33 scenery files are included in the new Northern California scenery. The scenery extends from the California-Oregon border to south of San Francisco near the Monterey/Carmel area and east to Bishop and Death Valley.

The images below show some of the preliminary airport edits on top of the Northern California imagery. All of the 265 airports included with the new scenery are being edited. I'll post more screenshots as the airport editing progresses.

Enjoy

This is a sample of the level of detail included in the edited airports from within the editing software. In this image, you can see the runways, taxiways, and ramp areas under the transparent vector overlays. This is being done for all 265 airports in the Northern California scenery. Editing time ranges from a few minutes for a small dirt strip, up to about three hours or more for the very large airports like San Francisco, Oakland or San Jose.

Several more hours of editing have been done on the airports for northern California. Below are posted several of the completed airports with the new scenery. I've included a variety of different airports in this posting.

very nice stuff. I take it tho there wont be any actual airport building included in this scenery will there?

The scenery dose look nice tho, and i happen to fly around and out of the Sacramento area often on vatsim, so this will interest me some.

RealScenery packs don't carry any airport buildings in them. Instead, they are statewide coverage packages of aerial imagery. Due to the size of California, it will be split between both the north and south, but should you buy both then you'll have the complete state of California to fly over.

More airports have been completed for northern California as the editing continues. Hope you enjoy seeing the progress.
