SocietyIslands4XPlane - Society Islands Scenery for X-Plane


Recommended Posts

I am pleased to announce that Albert and I teamed-up again to create another scenery package for X-Plane:

 

SocietyIslands4XPlane. In a first step we focus on Bora Bora & all the other Leeward Islands: Raiatea & Tahaa, Huahine, Maupiti and Tupai – to name just the major ones. As usual for our creations, you can look forward to a custom terrain mesh combined with custom overlays, a couple of airports and a bunch of helipads – everything bundled in a single package.

The wait was worth it: "Society Islands XP – Bora Bora & Leeward Islands" is now available in the Aerosoft Shop. So then let’s go: Welcome to Bora Bora and the Leeward Islands, the western part of the Society Islands in the South Pacific. Stunning atolls, sandy beaches and mountainous islands covered by tropical forests are waiting for you!
 
Included are a custom terrain mesh with custom overlays (vegetation, buildings, road-network with dynamic traffic), as well as detailed renditions of five regional airports (Bora Bora, Raiatea, Huahine – Fare, Maupiti, Tupai) and six helipads. Further information in the developer-blog and in the official release announcement.

Just visited Bora Bora! Looks very good at first glance in X-Plane 12.00b1:

Well, there are some minor issues with the sea, but that's already reported to LR... So far so good! This allows us to fully focus the development of Tahiti & Windward Islands, the sequel to already released Bora Bora & Leeward Islands. Developer-Blog: #SocietyIslands4XPlane

Great News: Society Islands XP - Bora Bora & Leeward Islands has been updated! The new version fixes a few issues with the terrain mesh (seabed) for X-Plane 12 beta/early access, and features updated airport configurations, i.a. taxi/ATC routes and ramps. A more extensive update of Society Islands XP - Bora Bora & Leeward Islands - which will then also make use of new X-Plane 12 features - is planned for a later date, when X-Plane 12 is in a more advanced stage.

I'm blown away by how good this scenery makes x-plane 12 look! Plus it runs well on my relatively mediocre gaming pc :)

 

Thank you very much for your feedback, that pleases us 🙂

 

Spoiler

P.S. We're working hard on the sequel of Society Islands XP: "Tahiti & Windward Islands"

A first update of "Bora Bora & Leeward Islands" is out, what next? Curious? Alright, then I've some exciting news for you:

 

The two-part series "Society Islands XP" will be continued - and that very soon! After focusing on the first part "Bora Bora & Leeward Islands" last year, this year the focus of the development was on the second part "Tahiti & Windward Islands". And that development is almost finished!

 

Without revealing too much, Faa'a International Airport (NTAA) on Tahiti, Moorea Temae Airport (NTTM), and an exclusive airfield on Tetiaroa (NTTE) await you soon! Complemented, as usual for our sceneries, with custom terrain mesh and overlays! Here are some first impressions:

Short news on Society Islands XP - Tahiti & Windward Islands: We are very busy to finally complete this extensive project, and are currently testing the lastet Alpha version. A great opportunity to give you a few insights into what happened behind the scenes in the last couple of weeks:

We already informed that the Landscape (terrain mesh) and the Airports are already finished: But: We weren't particularly happy with the first version of the Overlays we had, and so we decided to invest a little more time. And what should I say, I'm really happy about this decision:

What's next? Shortly we'll bundle a first Beta, and while the QA team will be busy testing, we will focus on one last remaining task: We want to provide also three hospital helipads in addition to the three airports. More on that soon: In this thread, on the developer blog, and on FB.

Short news update on Society Islands XP - Tahiti & Windward Islands: The scenery package has been "feature complete" for some time now, the beta tests are close to a successful end, and the release is already in preparation. To shorten you the time until then, I invite you to read the latest posting on our developer blog:
 
As already announced - in addition to the three airports and airfields - we have now also included three heliports in the scenery package. The helipads belong to hospitals on Tahiti and Moorea. Specifically, these are Taaone (NTHP), Taravao (NTHV) and Afareaitu (NTHF), all implemented in exceptional detail. Here're some first screenshots:

Oh man I loved this addon back in XP11. Spend many a' hours here with my Turbo Otter. I wish I could have this now in MSFS as I've made the switch complete for some time now. But at least I have the memories 😅
