horst18519 231 Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 I will be able to post more preview screenshots tomorrow, it looks like we can release within 3 weeks from now. @Emi: I think everything has been said about what might or might not be done and why we do it our way, I have deleted your comment to avoid going off on a tangent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TF-197 28 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Ahh, that's looking good. It's always good so see the addon compared to the default scenery! But i'm still thinking that you might make the snow and the ice looking a bit more realistic. Ich schreib das hier jetzt mal kurz auf Deutsch weil ich das auf Englisch wohl nicht könnte : Nach meiner Ansicht sieht der Schnee und das Eis ein wenig zu sehr nach einfachen weißen Texturen aus (Was es im Grunde genommen ja auch ist ), aber das könnte man besser gestalten. ORBX hat in der NA BLUE PNW einige Gletscher eingebaut die einfach nur verdammt gut aussehen, wie dieser Screenshot zeigt: http://www.flightsim...&pic=5&type=jpg Oder das hier... das sieht auch richtig super aus: http://flightsimstor...&pic=2&type=jpg Meiner Meinung nach sieht das noch ein wenig besser aus, als Island X bis jetzt. Das kann Aerosoft doch bestimmt auch... Würde jedenfalls sehr gut aussehen sowas auch in Island X zu sehen... I'd be thankfull if you could do something like this Regards Emi errrrr yeahhh ....... should I agree or disagree lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flusi4ever 39 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 This looks very nice! Will there be a FS9 version? Hi Hans, only Keflavík will also be available for FS9. The rest is FSX only. Well, I would also like to see Reykavik and Isafördur for FS9, but if the developers don't want to / are not able to, then is it also okay for me, i don't really need the whole island in FS9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emi 5161 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Beautiful, Thorsten! Not sure if I missed this info, but will it be available in one package for download? Thorsten, you haven't answered this question yet, and it would interest me too By the way: how good can you fly gliders in Island? There are many mountains, so i think there is the possibillity that it might go well...is that true? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horst18519 231 Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 There is a gliding community in Iceland, I'm sure one of the natives reading here can answer this. The addon Iceland X will be released as a download addon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daníel St. 1 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Thorsten, you haven't answered this question yet, and it would interest me too By the way: how good can you fly gliders in Island? There are many mountains, so i think there is the possibillity that it might go well...is that true? Yes there are 3 glider clubs in Iceland, one at Sandskeid (BISS) which is the main and biggest one in. Its located in south-west Iceland, about 20 km. east from Reykjavik and the two other is at Melgerdismelar (BIMM) which is in North Iceland pretty close to Akureyri(BIAR) and the third one is a private one located at Geitamelur or Geitasandur, close to Hella (BIHL) in South Iceland. The gliding season is usually from May to Sep. or October. We do all thermal, mountain and wave flying here but mostly mountain and thermal flying. The thermal season is not very long here tough, usually from May - August or beginning of Sept. but they can get really high, especially in May when the temp. can go pretty high during the daylights and cold during the nights.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIC 0 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I've been waiting a long time for this. One suggestion. NO TREES! There are no trees in Iceland except for the National Forest which is about 40 squares acres located south of Egilstadir. All the screen shots look great so far. I'll be first in line to buy it.

horst18519 231 Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Did you see any trees in the preview screenshots? If so they are actually there in reality. Reykjavik and Akureyri have quite a number of trees so they have it in the addon too - apart from that you're right, there are almost no trees in Iceland.

P I C Actually there are lot of trees in the cities and in areas where there are lot of summer houses, in national parks and other places but not only at national forest close to Egilsstadir but it is the biggest forest tough Most of the land is covered with lava, rocks, grass, ice, moss and shrubs.

horst18519 231 Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 And a Fokker 50 of course - I would pay a lot of money (not as an Aerosoft guy but as a Fokker 50 fan) to the man who provides a decent Fokker 50 for FSX. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TF-197 28 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 yeah there is a Fokker 50 out there but it isn't really great quality, would be nice if someone would go and make a new one up to todays standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you pay him directly with PayPal Youll get the Fokker 50 with Iceland skin +1 extra skin. for US40$ If interested: His PayPal account is support@precisionaerobus.com And in the paypal message add the code: "Iceland-Discount-FSX" or "Iceland-Discount-FS9" To be on the safer side i would also send him an email to and let him know.
