Have not posted in a long, long time. So here's some random stuff from past weeks.

Flying over the Grand Canyon (Arizona) with UHD Mesh Scenery v1. Special thanks to AlpilotX for this great UHD Mesh and thanks to all aircraft manufacturers, are a lot

Let's call it a day

Here are some shots of my work-in-progress first World2XPlane airfield. The field is XPOK (Pocklington), which is home of the Wolds Gliding Club. The airfield is a former RAF base, and I chose to model it because of the surroundings and because the default airfield in X-Plane is just a grassy blob which ruins the World2XPlane scenery: I've modelled the club house and hangars in high detail based on photos kindly sent by the airfield manager. I've also tried to texture the very weathered old concrete runway, but it still needs some texturing work The parking/taxi way texture needs a bit of work also. The surrounding buildings and trees have all been placed with World2XPlane and fit perfectly with the airfield. I also added some objects in the airfield such as gliders, caravans, parked cars and glider trailers (with the club's logo on them). The textures for the taxiway and parking area really do need some work, and this is generally where my artistic abilities fall over ;-) Taking off, the nearby town of Pocklington is completely mapped by World2XPlane, and looks very similar to the real town. The surrounding countryside is miles of rolling chalk hills, with small villages and farms throughout. Each village, farm, field, obstacle are all again generated from OSM data using World2XPlane. Another small town really well mapped. The area is a joy to fly around which is why I'm wanting to fill out some other airfields in the area. Additionally, OSM contributors are very active at the moment in the area, and things are improving. It would be amazing if we could have all of the UK covered in this detail (Maybe in a few years time :-))
