July 17, 200520 yr Baltimore Internation fans will be pleased to know that a very nice version of this airport is available in today's downloads. Be sure to download the textures as well. Many thanks to the good folks at FoxtrotSierra.org!DJ
July 17, 200520 yr I installed the files as instructed and I get white patches around the airport and on the aircraft parking spots. Anyone else see this?
July 17, 200520 yr Well I'm glad someone took the time to develop KBWI, I really thought a 'payware' version would have been out sooner, but a freeware version now is even better! I havent had much time to fly around, but it seems very nice so far. I live here near KBWI, and its nice to see the accurate roads, and the hotels, and the gate assigments are accurate also. Hats off to the authors!!!! Manny Patel
July 17, 200520 yr You need to activate the scenery by starting FS9 then click on Settings>Scenery Library and add the area. Hopefully, that will fix your problem.
July 17, 200520 yr I have no white patches, and on the whole the airport is stunning! I do notice that the buildings are very dark except for surfaces in direct sunshine - is there a texture missing, or is this by design?DJ
July 17, 200520 yr Hi Adam, why dont you check out the video they put out:http://www.foxtrotsierra.org/kbwih.htm Manny Patel
July 17, 200520 yr I'm downloading it now. The library must have a heavy load today, only getting 12kb per sec. That's really slow for Avsim.Jim
July 17, 200520 yr >I installed the files as instructed and I get white patches>around the airport and on the aircraft parking spots. Anyone>else see this?>Hi,Sounds like you're missing the textures package. We unfortunately had to break up the airport into two downloads because the size was over the AVSIM limit (the joys of using 1m resolution imagery). Anyway, sounds like you got the scenery package and did not pick up the texture package (it's about 68 Mbytes). If this is not the case, just drop me a line and I'll see what I can do for you (include a pic too if you can). Glad to hear you all are enjoying ... I'll make sure Matt also checks out this forum. He'll be very pleased. Joshua ([email protected])
July 17, 200520 yr It's a very nice scenery, it's pretty frame hungry though.*EDIT* Just to give an example. With my Dreamfleet 727 at Simflyer's Las Vegas, I get about 26 FPS at night, and about 18-20 FPS during the day, here at BWI, I'm getting 4-6 FPS (Day, haven't tried at night). Anyone else having the same?Jeff Jeff Commercial | Instrument | Multi-Engine Land AMD 5600X, RTX3070, 32MB RAM, 2TB SSD
July 17, 200520 yr Hi there! This is Matt Perry, the "other" designer. Sorry to hear about the texture problems of white patches above. Please let us know if the fix that Joshua mentioned doesn't work.Concerning framerates... Sorry to hear that some are having difficulties with the framerates. I really tried to keep this in mind while designing the airport. Right now I'm getting reports that about 65% of users have had awesome framerates and the rest of the users have framerates that are horrible. My appologies to the latter group. I'm not sure of the hardware specs of said users, but I did want to make sure that this scenery would not become quickly outdated by newer and faster hardware. I did somewhat split up the scenery levels, so if you put it on "Sparse" it should get better. Thanks for all the complements and comments so far. Please keep them coming. Joshua and I are just glad to be a contributing part of the freeware community!Matt Perry
July 17, 200520 yr I'm sure it looks fantastic, but holy cow, 255 MB texture folder! Yikes no wonder it's a slideshow!
July 17, 200520 yr the thing is, that the frames would greatly depend in what's in view.this is true for ant scenery, but the differences in this one are striking. I get anywhere from 6 to 25(locked at 25)I did an approach with 6fps and just bedore TD it spiked to 20...so there must be a particular area in that scenery that gobbles up all those frames//Michael
