Colin S Posted September 26, 2012 Report Posted September 26, 2012 Hello everyone,I am extremely proud to announce a freeware/payware project that will make flying in Southern British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and Idaho so much more fun and realistic when flying VFR. So far I have nearly completed my "practise" airport of KTTN and the surrounding area, it is quite successful. With the release of version 1.5 I will begin the creation of Langley VFR, which will include both CYNJ and CYXX as well as photoscenery and every landmark on the VTA within Langley and the sectional in Langley. Also included will be expanses of photoscenery into Abbotsford (not as far north as Chilliwack). Acquiring the area scenery will be free while acquiring CYNJ and CYXX will be, if all goes as planned, between $5 and $7. The Langley area scenery will be my last freeware scenery and a preview of the rest of the Pacific Northwest Scenery Project. Included in Langley will be Whiterock (to sample coastlines) and Manning Park Resort and Skihill (to sample what mountains will look like, summer only). Future photoscenery areas will never exceed $5 apiece, my goal is to make extremely affordable scenery.Another thing about this project is contribution. If you'd like something portrayed with orthophotos in Washington, Oregon or Idaho, please let me know on my website under the landmarks section. Please make sure that I do not already have it in the list before requesting. Give the people what they want! If you contribute in a serious way (creating buildings for an airport, you'll get free things (free stuff is AWESOME) and a LOT of credit for it. I just do airport layouts and orthophotos.My website is http://pnws.weebly.com. I will create two more freeware small airports for practise before releasing Langley VFR, so two lucky commenters will get free orthoscenery at the small airport of their choice. Colin SPNWS Quote

Cameron Posted September 28, 2012 Report Posted September 28, 2012 what are you going to do with the donated money?Presumably donate back via the investment of his time to continue making freeware. 1 Quote
chris k Posted September 28, 2012 Report Posted September 28, 2012 I suggest putting it all into a secret Swiss Back Account Slush fund, you know, with all the Millions of dollars he'll undoubtedly receive from all those generous people out there... =)- Ck.(For the record - since asking for donation-ware since Feb 2012 I have received a grand total of $20 AUD, 1 Bag of Cool Ranch Doritos, and a Blueberry Pie. The latter two were very tasty) 1 Quote

It is essentially a way of me saying "people are willing to give for this." That way I don't feel like I'm just giving giving giving with no return. Giving with no return is fine until it actually takes away from time you could be working. Quote
Colin S Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Posted September 30, 2012 Mmmmm Blueberry pie.....I prefer the nice flavour of the $20 bills but pie will do, I supposed. Quote
