ManuelL Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Looking good! Are you planning to make this compatible with Ultimate Alaska X? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Looking good. Just a suggestion, but including the Cornelia Marie and the other crab fishing fleet boats from "Deadliest Catch" would be a fitting and timely tribute To Captain Phil Harris of the Cornelia Marie who lost tragically his life earlier this month following a stroke.

Airlifter Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Looking great Thorsten! I hope you will consider also doing some of the other islands over there, like Kodiak Island. Will definately buy this one. Flying in that region is getting more and more interesting with UTX Alaska and (bit more to the South) OrbX PNW.

Nick C Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 This package looks great Thorsten and it will be fun to re-run the missions with the new scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jankees Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 will the objects look great, I must say I'm a bit disappointed in the ground textures, they seem all blurry. Any chance of a higher resolution there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesome Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 why is it one of the most difficult approaches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horst18519 Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Because you got nasty weather 80% of the time with heavy crosswinds. And of course you have to fly the DME circling approach with a tight turnaround because of the high mountains east and west of the airport. Considering they land there with aircraft up to B737s, the runway is also rather short. The addon will be compatible with UTX Alaska. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobdeVries Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 The addon will be compatible with UTX Alaska. Great stuff, will buy it, but you better tame the frames unlike other Aerosoft stuff. And If I were you I really would consider adding shadows to the buildings. This technique is used extensively by designers like Bill Womack. It makes building less look like they are floating in the air. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESzczesniak Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Are you saying Dutch Harbor X is a frame rate hog? I think he's implying that Aerosoft stuff in general is hard on the frames. While I agree to some extent, I'm not sure the sceneries are any harder than other high end scenery developers...at least not on my system.

horst18519 Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 Sorry, but that's absolutely nonsense. Why should a scenery like this be bad for frames. The Aleutian Islands are a remote area with no cities, almost no vegetation and nothing else that could prevent very good fps all over the addon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingFarmer Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hey Thorsten! This one looks like it is going to be a really cool place to fly! Just too bad, it's at the world's end. How is it coming along? Everything working fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafal Haczek Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Wonderful! I've always loved Alaska, both in the sim and in RW. Since 'Northern Exposure' my feelings have grown even stronger... I'm definitely interested in this scenery and its development. I also hope someone will develop the Anchorage PANC airport one day. Both as a great international destination and a starting base for exploring the whole state. These screenshots look really exciting. As is the Ultimate Alaska addon. Their compatibility is even more good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
