Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted August 12, 2008 Aerosoft Share Posted August 12, 2008 Tahiti.... for me that name brings memories, very fond memories of a short stay a few years ago. Having traveled for almost a decade professionally I think I am entitled to say it is about as close to paradise as a place on earth can be. So... we need it in FSX. And we shall have it this fall. (sorry again no FS2004 version, just makes no sense for projects like this).Check out these images from paradise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafal Haczek 1612 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Mathijs,Is there going to be a detailed rendition of the Papeete Faa Intl airport included in the project?One remark though. The screenshots look great as usual, of course.However my associations with Polynesia landscapes are intensive green lush forests and dark blue waters.Something like that:But I guess the screens are not the last word on Tahiti from Aerosoft. Or maybe it's the question of my perception. Just curious...Anyway congratulations on another extremely exciting project!Best regards,Rafal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Aerosoft Share Posted August 12, 2008 Well how colors are shown always depends a lot on the GPU and driver, so the same images could look different on your system. But also keep in mind that photographs made in conditions with direct sunlight tend to saturate colors. Personally I find the colors on the screen shots close to my recollection. The high humidity in the air makes anything more then a few miles out gray and lacking of color. Photographers don't like that so the images in magazine and travel folders never show that effect.Papeete will be included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solareagle 0 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 However my associations with Polynesia landscapes are intensive green lush forests and dark blue waters.Something like that:Keep in mind those photo's, mainly the second one, are not really accurate depictions of reality as they were taken with a polarizing filter which is going to artificially deepen the blues and brighten the vegitation greens, and especially on that second one some high contrast overly saturated film was used, or it was digitaly edited.
