Island scenery ?

Recommended Posts

FlyTampa St Maarten (make sure it's the full package, that also comes with St Barts and Saba) is as Gregg said, first class.  You can take heavies or light aircraft into TNCM (very light only into Barts and Saba!).

 

I have FT Grenadines too - it's beautiful but strictly small GA only (small fields).  Just as immersive and beautiful as St Maarten though, and about 7 airfields to explore.

Has anyone tried Orbx Sata Catalina Island? If so, is there a good payware airport close by to fly to it from?

Right now theres John Wayne nearby.  Orbx is working on Santa Barbara (yes!).  I hear rumours of a KBUR but haven't seen anything solid yet.  There's also an Orbx airport a little further north up in the hills...not much one of their better ones, to me.  Further away, there's Palm Springs.

Great, I can get John Wayne and land on the taxi ways. 

 

Are you talking about the Latinvfr version of John Wayne that is on sale now?

Agua Dulce L70. It is a small airfield but nicely crafted with the Vasquez Rock National Park nearby (Blazzing Saddles !) on photoimagery. A challenging approach in a hilly country. Mostly for light GA but I've flown the L-39 in and out of it. Not overly spectacular but I like it.

 

My favorite in Socal is still KTNP 29Palms by the eponym company.Very moody small airport in the desert.

Orbx Hawaii would be great to have this year.

In combination with BlueSky photoreal, it's absolutely spectacular. One of my favorites.

 

That Tahiti scenery is nice but the water mask looks lazy. Not up to par with the rest of the energy dedicated to that project.

I am having the no Autogen problem with the FlyTampa - Grenadines = No vegetation and no autogen. Anyone else experiencing this???

I am using Prepar3D v3.4.22.19868 on a Windows 10 x 64 machine and installed the latest Grenadines installer provided by Simmarket (FlyTampa_Grenadines_FSX_P3D_12.exe).

Tried:
Grenadines AutogenEditor and it did not fixed the issue.
Used the backup autogen file and added the extra code from the "Manual Default.XML Autogen" with no avail. http://www.flytampa.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=9477

Contacted support (25/03/17) with no solution till the present day... :dry:


Grenadines does show up in FlyTampa Configurator along with my other FlyTampa sceneries.


Best regards, Luís
