horst18519 231 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I came across some nice videos about one of the most challenging airports in the world: (must-see if you want to know why this airport became legendary!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EZOLNuWMGM This is for no apparent reason, just some research for, erm, some future, erm, projects. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest M31 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 This is for no apparent reason, just some research for, erm, some future, erm, projects. Interesting! I certainly enjoyed the FSX Dutch Harbour mission, very challenging and I now have the urge to go fly it again after looking at those video's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Fly 56 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Some missions included or only a scenery ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPL 39 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 This is for no apparent reason, just some research for, erm, some future, erm, projects. Are you by any chance implying that we'll finally have some American airports from Aerosoft? If so, this is great news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newmanix 61 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 If, after all that Palin thing Alaska is still considered american - yes. Well now that she is finally gone from Alaska, yes, we have reclaimed it as American again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Hamilton 97 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Not a supporter by any means, but I'm afraid I don't see the humor in trashing Sarah Palin in this forum. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horst18519 231 Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 It's just that she was the only reason why I didn't completely fell in love with this part of america yet. I'd like to do a lot more sceneries there, but a) it's tough to get material and Holger Sandmann+co are already doing lots of good sceneries in Alaska. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPL 39 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I don't think that this forum is the right place for trashing politicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandsma 11 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I hope any project you develop here would include much of the Aleutian Islands. Since there is little there it wouldn't add much to the workload. After all you have to fly somewhere from Unalaska. It sounds like Alaska is somewhere in the pipeline for Orbx. But like Holger's and John's Victoria+ and Vancouver+ it could still be complementary to any future Orbx project if it added enough custom objects and detailed airports. If you do Unalaska please be sure to at least include the old bishop's house and the Russian Cathedral. You would have to as there isn't much else of note in town.

horst18519 231 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 The addon will cover the "Fox Islands" as well as the "Islands of Four Mountains", so there will be other destinations as well, but only one airport that deserves this name. Prominent landmarks will of course be included, the Gran Aleutian, the orthodox churches, the WWII bunkers,... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's a NO? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandsma 11 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Thorsten, If you're ever looking for beta testers on this project I would really like to be concidered. The Aleution Islands, along with the Florida Keys and Cape Cod, is one of areas that I have been wishing someone would make a scenery area for quite some time. I was listening to your past interview on FSBreak this morning and have to say that I share your appeal of out of the way places. Especially ones that have challenging flying characteristics.

horst18519 231 Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 Thanks for the feedback. Actually betatesting is almost finished, stay tuned for some preview images within the next days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
