YMML Scenery

[Bay Pilot]

Hello to all,  Looking for my home state airport scenery, have Melbourne city would like someone to design something like YSSY.

Anyone out there with Melbourne airport on their design list ?

 

Regards Bay Pilot

FWIW,

We have a new YMML in the works – completely redone from ‘first principles’ with new taxiways and such — so hopefully any self-intersecting beziers and/or inheriting bad taxiway data from the original apt.dat will simply ‘disappear in a puff of logic’ when we push the final out.

Andras is working on a new HDMesh for OZLand, so it’s a good time to get this continent all fixed up in prep =)"

 

This was in Ben's Blog the other day,  hopefully not too long away!

If you search around the forums you will find Chris hinting at ISDG's YMML. It looks spectacular!

 

Found in "What did you fly today?":

Ohhhhh SNAP!

How do they get their satellite imagery so good?

I use Sim Heavens.  Its nice, but very inconsistent.

 

Well done ISDG.

Because it costs a lot of time and work to make satellite imagery look good even for a small area (and thats the advantage on ISDGs side  ... they concentrate on a small area)!

 

For extended areas (which SimHeaven does), you either have to pay unbelievable amounts of money to others who do this job for you (yes, there are aerial imagery providers who can do that for you - for lots of money), or you just take what is "freely" available. And Simheaven decided to go the free route (where even that rout is not 100% water tight when it comes to licensing rights!) by just plain sourcing Google Maps / Bing Maps data ... and thus his results can only be as good as the source data is (he applies some automatic color correction ... but that can only correct the absolutely worst things ... never fix inconsistency issues). And don't even think about him (yes, he is a one man show) correcting extended areas for us ... because he alone would not manage to do that in his entire lifetime (yes, our planet is big, and thus aerial imagery is very extensive too).

(1ST PICTURE)

 

 

On the first picture, the drivers need alot of courage to exit the bridge and safely drive on the road to the airport

In Cape Town we have such scary overpasses for real!

You may simply be hallucinating and all these images may just be figments of your imagination

Wow - Looks great

If we each perceive colours differently, does that mean colour is just a pigment of our imagination?
