That is amazing quality. Will there be an OOM before takeoff?  :ph34r:

 

DOnt think so.. with an airport this small its not like you will be able to fly the PMDG 777 into it or anything..  ^_^

Gorgeous!!  But what is the point?  We are going to need a "waiting" add on, a "debarcation" add-ons "security" add-on...LOL (..and all kinds of little moving people)

I think the point is because the actual terminal is completely see through.. all glass. So it does make sense to do this.

Hey, if it proves to have a negligible impact to FSX's use of system resources, I'll be on board 100%.  Unfortunately, I fear that it will be bound to have some sort of impact and thus I'm a little wary of it.

 

That said, I've spent a lot of hours in various pc games and environments where the ability to explore a very high resolution and detailed environment is a given.  I'd welcome a next-gen sim where I could have an avatar do a walk around of a plane prior to getting in, or for example, land a float plane, taxi up to a dock, jump out and tie it up.  Or land a cargo plane in the middle of the frozen north and watch the plane being unloaded prior to taking off again.  The possibilities are endless, really.

 

So, yes, it's good that the envelope gets pushed, I guess.  Maybe it will lead to great things down the road, or the inspiration for others to achieve such.

Yes!  Great points!

you know I read some of the comments on here but yes I will admit...this is a small airport comprising of a lot of glass so therefore a unique project, and if it proves to perform well then why not.

 

The developer may make some of us eat our words but we will see.

Very nice, but what's the point? It's called FLIGHT Simulator, not airport terminal interior simulator.

So realistic it remember me of too many business trip. ;-)

 

Hope the same technology was applied outside.

It's very nice, but has nothing to do with flying an aircraft. That was my point. I guess it's just a different outlook on my part.

"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."

I'm sure there's an option in the install package to turn the interior off. Why can't people just take it for what it is? A work of art. 

I confess I haven't read all of this topic, please do pounce on me if this has been said already. I seem to recall John Venema saying in an interview somewhere that this was what he foresaw as the future of his market, the idea that folks would want to land and get out to walk around the terminal. I personally thought the idea was nonsense but who am I to question the great JV? Interesting to see how this pans out.

You are correct. I read the same JV quote. I bet he still has his hands in this project somehow. As a GA-only sim pilot, I look forward to this very much.

I fully expect it will be.  Russ White has always pushed envelopes with his airports, such as the sloped taxiways and multi-levels (3) of PAKT (Ketchican, AK), and I haven't been disappointed in one yet.

 

Bottom line for me as a GA flyer is that I'm happy to support anyone doing fields of this size, especially when they've decide to focus on a region as he has.

When I land Im eager to shutdown and exit, this would be the case in real life as well. To say the future is in walking around an airport after landing is nonsense. However I do like the level of detail and in this particular example, its a glass construction and it looks great from the outside so Im a buyer!
