A round-up of P3D v3 scenics - lots!

[toprob]

These are a random collection of recent shots, chosen for their 'scenic' value. P3D v3 certainly looks nice, but I will switch my license to v4 as soon as I can. So this might be the last screenshots I ever take from v3.

Looking very good Rob
A great variety but there are a few there that I have no clue where they were taken. It seems there is still much of NZ open for further exploration on my part!

Not surprising, as much of these shows scenery which hasn't been released -- mainly the Coromandel and Banks Peninsula, but there's also the updated Alps to come. I do have a plan to release as much as I can to subscribers, even though I had hoped to 'finish' some areas first. It does seem like a good idea just to get it out there, even if it is only available to subscribers until I manage to finish some airports.

This will be a priority once I get my head around the new sims. For instance, I'd love to see a multi-sim Coromandel, including X-plane, as it is a good size, and an interesting area. In the meantime, interest in the upcoming new sims has pressed pause on local sales. My computer tells me I sold one scenery last week. Even I can't live on $16 a week, so it isn't quite as easy as just releasing stuff and hoping for the best.

Outstanding Rob. Hard to tell some of them from the real thing!

Stunning work... all you need's a good press agent to get that stuff into the wild.

Ain't that the truth. Shortly I'll put out a request for those who like my scenery, and want to see more, to just let people know. Word of mouth is about all I have at the moment, and NZers are very shy for some reason... The same goes for reviews -- there were a few people who mentioned doing a review of Dunedin when it came out, so here's just a reminder that this is something that potential customers look for -- a good, honest review, the good and bad, goes a long way to creating enough trust in a developer that people are prepared to actually spend money.

Photoscenery is slowly losing its poor-relation status, which is great for me, but of course airports are what people really want. It's airports which take a real investment in time and funds, and it's there that I'm lacking at the moment. So if anyone hasn't yet bought my scenery -- including the subscription -- then that's one way to 'invest' in some future airports.

Bit of a catch 22. I just wish you would hurry up so I can give you some more money!!!!
