Need some help with KBUR scenery development?ThanksShez

Shez,great to hear you're at it again. I find myself flying into KCLE at least once a day, simply the best freeware scenery around. Keep up the great work.Just wanted to bump this one.Cheers,Petehttp://members.aol.com/pzsoulman/myhomepage/logo.gifAthlonXP2000,AbitKX7-333(latest4in1),512MB/2700SDRAM,WinXP,DirectX8.1,Geforce3TI200(128MB)(Det.30.82),SBlive(WDM5.1.2601.0)

Well thank you Pete. It is getting more and more difficult to devote time to it but once I am into a project it is great watching it develop.Shez

I travel about once a week to airports all over western US and always take my digital camera. Don't have any trips to Burbank on my schedule right now (was there two weeks ago) but if there's other airports you need photos of let me know. Might take a little while, but eventually I'll get [email protected]

Shez,You might try to contact Ihor who used to be a regular on the Scenery design forum here and who designed some excellent FS2K2 scenery. He lives in Burbank and had some dozens of excellent aerial photos of the Valley and airport as he was planning on reproducing Burbank for FS2K2. He has a website with his scenery on but I don't have the address unfortunately, but you may find it in the scenery design forum archives. Just a thought.Mike

Mike,Thanks. Actually I put out a call for him on the scenery design forum but no reply. He and I talked a few months about KBUR scenery so I will try and get in touch with him. Let me got hrough the archives.CheersShez

Hay Shez! A KBUR would be great! I love your KSNA and KLGB (live close to and drive by everyday the first, and work at the second on the C-17 Boeing Program since '87) though I wish they were a tad more optimized...pretty heavy FPS hit still. Some details around the Boeing Buildings could use some help, if you ever want to revisit them let me know.Would LOVE to see someone tackle all the Med-small Airports in SoCal...Ontario, Chino, Fullerton, Corona, Bracket, Rialto, Riverside, El Monte, Hawthorne, Cable, Torrance, Big Bear, Catalina, Carlsbad, etc to name a few...He He...

Shez, I have a couple of way's to get Ihor. Send me a e-mail.Jay

Once you get around to it, for added realism don't forget that two panels in the blast fence at the end of runway 8 are a lighter color. They were replaced after a Southwest 737 skidded through them and wound up on the road a few years ago!Happy ContrailsKeith

>They were replaced after a Southwest 737>skidded through them and wound up on the road a few years>ago!did Southwest ever get that load of freebees for tanking there?

Shez,last year Ihor emailed me some pictures taken from a flight he had in a Cessna over LA / San Fernando. I'd be happy to email them to you if you like, but they're not titled so you have to try and work out what they are (not easy if you live in England :-)) and there are rather a lot of them. I have one picture which I know is of Burbank airport on final approach into the sun from a cessna, it's not very good but I'll mail it to you anyway. Might just help.RegardsMike

Great stuff! Thanks.Shez

Little divergent but relates to my comments earlier.The Pilot and Co-pilot were sacked. This from the local ABC News site.."The Boeing 737-300, arriving from Las Vegas, barreled off the runway onto a city street March 5 (2000), striking a car, just missing a gas station and slightly injuring 15 of the 142 people on board. The most seriously injured was the pilot, who suffered scalp cuts.Investigators said the plane made its final descent into Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport at such a steep angle that a cockpit warning system went off, and it was going 208 mph at touchdown when it should have been going around 161 mph."Looks like the pilot had been doing too many carrier landings "Where's the arrestor wire?"http://abcnews.go.com/sections/travel/Dail...west000803.htmlAlso see the following picture site by a local firefighter:http://www.firepictures.com/Plane_Crash_/sw_plane_crash.htmlhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/41830.jpg
