Welcome to Friday Harbor Airport and San Juan Island!
It's been a busy few months for Turbulent Designs, but we're pleased to finally bring our biggest project yet to the quad installer!
Friday Harbor has been a huge project, not just because of the HD airport quality, but also because of the huge photo real coverage area. That's right! Not only do you receive a high quality airport, but you'll also have the entire of San Juan Island photo real to explore! In addition to Friday Harbor Airport, there are seven smaller airfields including Roche Harbor and Burden Field and two seaplane bases. San Juan Island is a GA pilot's paradise!
We have also added extra features to the quad installer version, including a fully modelled control tower interior, improved night lighting, branding, hard winter season, more flow technology and extra clutter objects from the updated Turbulent Designs HD object library. We've also optimised the photoreal imagery for improved performance.
Here's a quick feature list followed by some "Work in progress" shots. Please keep in mind that these beta shots are of a product currently in development so can be subject to change over time. In other words, more can be added and improved.
More shots from the Beta team imminently!
That's what I was expecting!
Looking great and eagerly looking forward to the 15th! In the real world, I visited Friday Harbor a couple of years ago with Kenmore air seaplane and really enjoyed it including a bike ride up to Roche Harbor and the historical English camp in the national park. From the looks of it I am sure your new location will bring back many more happy memories while exploring the island and airfields.
Can't wait for the release date.
Thanks to you and the team in advance.
What a feature list and what a scenery! Literally have spent 10's of hours there and still havent seen it all. P3Dv3 will really bring this terrain and the tree lines to new levels.
As loving flying low and slow I'm looking forward to Dec, 15th! It seems, we'll have a real Beauty here!
Hello Orbx team ! Do you ensvisage an update for the NA AI traffic pack (with Kenmore Air and San Juan airlines for example) ? Best regards.?
I second that request for an update to the NA AI pack for the upcoming Friday Harbour scenery. It would really add to the fun with some realistic AI flights to and from the Island. I am very impressed already with the NA Traffic package for PNW, it adds so much value flying in the area for me.
Crikey Russ, that sure is a bumper bundle you're giving us!
Yay, more time off from next week so I will get some time to explore KFHR.
Just curious, as this is the default airport, is there a way of having the Control Panel bypassed so that this one spot is just automatically optimised every time we start FSX to go for a simple quick flight, rather than having to go to the control panel first and physically setting NA.
It's just a though to make life easy for those who want a quick session, without having to do too much setting up.
Spacey, You can save a flight or make it the default if you plan to depart there a lot. That is going to be my new default starting flight in P3d after it is released. As far as FTX Central, if you own Global, place it Hybrid mode and you can start there whenever you want. Russel will have to comment about what elements that will be missing or incorrect if using Hybrid mode.
Well if it is AEDT, here only one day to go!
Which time zone is the release scheduled for?
And apparently will be on sale at 35% off.
