October 10, 201510 yr I'm not sure if it's usual to have modders posting their WIP on the AVSIM screenshot forums, but I wanted to share some pictures of what I was working on these past few weeks. KW71 and Uriah, two Outerra modders, started an ambitious project: completely remake the default AH-64. This model was available in Outerra to present helicopters capabilities of JBSIM, however the model was really simple, with no cockpits and sounds. This total conversion will improve every parts of the AH-64, from model to sounds, including a new FDM and aim to demonstrate some advanced use of scripting for Outerra vehicles.Despite having both time consuming real jobs, Uriah and KW71 are working hard to deliver a highly detailed aircraft (with a low impact on framerate), and I figured out it would be nice to have a custom scenery for this project. We choose Joint Base Lewis–McChord, a US military base located in WA state, south of Seattle. The scenery is great, and the location interesting from a design point of view. Main view of Gray AAF airfield. Majority of the buildings are residential only, industrial and storage facilities, as well as airport buildings are planned. Buildings textures are too clear right now. Some residential lots, the airport and Mt Rainier in the background. Some parts of Lakewood/Steilacoom, near the base. The screenshot was made during work, with lowered settings, so buildings visibility is really low (buildings smaller than 8px are not rendered, I normally use a 0.5 px setting.) Close view of the same area, looking west. Forest parameters were increased a lot in this screen. Far away, Olympic national park is visible. Highway overpass near the Gray AAF airport. Mt Rainier looks so beautiful from here Some markings tests. The result is really nice, even from close distance. I could not finish this without at least one picture of an aircraft. Here is the new AH-64.Hope you guys like it.Both aircraft and scenery will be released when they're done. Soon, hopefully
