Paul K 93 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Chesse-Strike, A question about the Dash 7 from British Antarctic Survey. The shown picture which I guess is taken in-game display an almost orange livery colour. If I browse through photos of the BAS livery on the Internet, I see colours ranging from very red to almost orange. It is probably light conditions causing this, but I am unsure of what the actual colour of the BAS livery is? Michael Do these photos help ? I took them when the BAS Dash 7 was at Duxford a few years ago. Somewhere between red and orange, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Smith 1116 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Nice shots Paul, are you affiliated to BAS in any way? As a side note, somewhere I have book which did list the BS number for the colour used on the BAS Twotter and Dash 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSALVA 1 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Looks amazing , I hope this great big scenery not only sell it in a box, and that can be downloaded. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasa 927 Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 Hello again! Sorry I had to let this project down for a few weeks while finishing Las Vegas. This wasn't planned but due to the extreme long development time and complexity of the Antarctica project I had to do something else to keep some funds flowing in. In other words: Please buy as many copies of Las Vegas to support the Antarctica X project! As a little apology a few new screenshots of the Australian Casey base are attached. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duxford is just seven miles down the road, so maybe that proximity accounts for the presence of their Dash. It was a very pleasant surprise to see it.

Sasa 927 Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 Does a preliminary map of airports/airstrips exist? No, not yet. I'm planning to do all the airstrips and airports that are there, but only a few of them in high detail of course. But another problem there is that many of those airstrips are only visible once in a while, they are seasonally prepared. McMurdo for example has 3 skiway locations of which never all 3 are active/visible at the same time. Bests, Sascha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasa 927 Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hi! I just moved some German posts made here to the German forum. They were about an upcoming freeware scenery of German Anarctica stations (+ South Africa's Sanae IV). It's good to see the continent finally gets the attention it deserves!

macroth72 38 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hmm, strange thing... I hope Saschas package will not be "cut down" in features and stations because of this other scenery. In my(!!!!) opinion they aren't comparable in quality... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddz 737 55 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Oh deer..that doesnt sound good..does that mean for the whole package we need to make 2 purchases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emi 5162 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 As far as i've understood yes, but see it that way: If we aren't going to get a full package including everything we mustn't pay for one;). So for the people who might only want the scenerie itself and who don't care if there are a few stations more or less it's a good development because they can get it far more cheaper:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51561 Posted January 11, 2011 Aerosoft Share Posted January 11, 2011 Don't worry gents, there have been a few changes but nothing major. We'll show more images soon with some more news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasa 927 Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 There are some news as you can read here, and it doen't make me (personally) happy What's mentioned there doesn't reflect the agreement entirely, meaning Dirk wrote the first sentence a bit unclear, yes. The project Antarctica X is still under LimeSim's development. Due to the different nature of how we approach things, we decided to keep our two projects separate and not to merge them. I'll drop Neumayer and Sanae IV in high detail from Antarctica X do avoid doing something that is already done by someone else. Apart from that everything remains the same!

PingPong 0 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I am very excited for this scenery, I actually just got back from Antarctica 3 days ago, and would love to do my journey again in FSX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexanderL 2 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Hi there, I've searched thru this topic to find a release date and the last one I found was easter 2010 So do you already got a little more exact date? - Alexander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51561 Posted January 26, 2011 Aerosoft Share Posted January 26, 2011 We moved a few projects in front of Antarctica but it now very much in development again. Think I can give a better idea on a release date soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bests, Sascha Will be very interested in this, as I was with US Navy Operation Deep Freeze from 1978-1981. Am sure McMurdo / Scott bases will be more in line with year 2000 plus, but will be quite interesting to see it and to "fly across" Antarctica once again. If the limitations of reaching 90 South hold in FSX, will be quite intersting to see how Dirk handles doing up Amundson-Scott Station. Ahhh, how I miss the drone of the C-130 engines from my days there. Thank you for taking on this type of project! Will be looking forward to both packages!

Sasa 927 Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 Just to give you a little proof that work hasn't stopped: The screens show UK's Rothera Base in a very early stage with local static aircraft. The Dash 8 is based on Milton Shupe's fantastic freeware. Many thanks to Milton for giving me permission to use his 3D model in this scenery.
