Bop Islands Scenery: Motiti Island (4th of 4)

[Timmo]

Hi guys and girls
The final Island in my 'Island of the Bay of Plenty' scenery project has been uploaded to Avsim for FSX. (bopislands_motiti4of4.zip)




It will also be linked from www.flightsim.co.nz in the near future.

This release features photoreal textures, two small airstrips, full autogen, numerous default library objects including animated dolphins a few hundred metres off the west shore of the Island.

Ive also included a saved flight so you can go dolphin watching- The flight starts in an R22, youll need to start up, take off and head a couple of hundred metres west to see the dolphins.

Enjoy!

What's causing that funny effect around the left coast in the first pic? Kinda stomped on...

[Timmo]

Thats the resolution of the default terrain but with the sliders maxed- The sliders 'dumb down' the data when to the left....which would be good in this case as it would look like a gradual hill rather than a cliff. The actual terrain is a cliff there....but the default mesh isnt quite aligned properly and is too low a resolution to define the cliff properly. You can see each mesh 'pixel'- which is why the cliff looks to made of blocks.

I have them maxed to make full effect of higher resolution terrain in other areas.

Ah, understand. So with the 19 metre mesh it'll look more "cliffy"...

Love it! I used to spend a lot of time staying on Motiti when I was a kid.

Didn't someone say they were working on BOP towns as well?

[Timmo]

Yeah i did.....but it is probably down the list since ive been given permission to release a new 'series' of photo real sceneries.....
The problem with releasing urban areas is the autogen....it takes a lot of time (and time isnt something i have at the moment)

Sounds exciting Timmo, will wait with interest to see what surfaces.
