For those of you who aren't aware, Molokini will be released as a standalone package either tomorrow or Monday (I'm in North America). This particular one is my first ever project where I built an object completely from scratch and textured it myself. That wasn't that hard, but lining up a geological formation with the finickyness of SketchUp was the headache. Here is a little preview of that...
I had a wonderful day flying in the Canadian north!! Started off in Montreal and flew to Kuujjuaq. Then continued to Iqaluit and a roundtrip to Pangnirtung Departing Montreal in the morning: Touching down on Kuujjuaq's icy runway Sun is setting as I approach Iqaluit Parked at the ramp in Iqaluit, pitch black at 3:30pm
757 pulling out of Oahu. Love the RealScenery stuff. AMAZING. I was going for one of those "Reality" thingy vids. Hope you like it http://youtu.be/qWOUqsy4o9Y
Nothing fancy... took off from Pemberton, flew over Tundra Lake in the Stein Valley area, and landed at the Harrison Lake airstrip. Apparently the Lillooet River is flooded. I have to hand it to Andras, this scenery is amazing. HD Mesh V3 makes Canada look perfect. I have never seen X-Plane look this beautiful. Thank you for your hard work! Please take note that this is literally my first complete flight in over a year. Decided to do some X-Plane in a break from Chemistry, and decided that I also needed a break from developing Hawaii Photoreal; I've earned this little flight. I'd like to add that I couldn't believe this screenshot. This isn't even orthophoto scenery. This is just HDMesh V3 and default textures. Congratulations to the amazing AlpilotX for his perfect work.
You're not insane. You're following your passions and that's what everyone should do. I attended the 6th top / most difficult high school in the US. I then attended university for a month and dropped out to start my company and re-ignite my passion for aviation. I go to my office every morning with the biggest smile on my face because an 8hr work day for me is pure happiness and joy. I commend you for pursuing your passion in life because it's what makes the difference between people that are happy when they wake up and people that are unhappy. Be the best damn teacher you can be and show those kids that creativity should be cherished instead of diminished like in most schools. *Ps: Great work on the scenery. Looking forward to downloading it.
Sorry guys. I've decided I need to model Molokini since it doesn't exist in X-Plane. Perhaps another week of delay before the update. But you will now definitely want to grab this piece of awesome. Anyways, here are the final updates to Kahoolawe: Reefs and a dulled down version of the imagery for those who want a less psychedelic flying experience! EDIT: No Molokini until the final update, V1.3
There are a LOT of datarefs in this aircraft. What you could do is open LES_Saab_340A_cockpit.obj, scroll to the bottom and you'll see all the datarefs, commands and manipulators. They all have the names that correspond to what they are assigned to. Give that a try and if you have any problems, post back.
I am thinking of bundling all the Cuban airports, Habana, Santiago, Cayo Coco, Cayo Largo and Varadero, some of them are really small, but all together, and now with the availability of the HD mesh v3 on the entire Island could make a great destination.
