freeware [Work-in-progress] Marble Canyon (L41)

[vbazillio 2,234]

Hello passionate simmers!

I have just started the development of Marble Canyon (L41) in Arizona. This very small field is an unbelievable opportunity to land our light aircraft right into the Canyon! And you can depart from Page, KPGA a recent free release of mine, just 5 minutes away with your C172.

The airport infrastructure 🙂 is very light, so I will challenge my 3D Blender skills by building some buildings on the other side of the street: the gas station, post office, restaurant (where you pay the fee) and the lodge. I’ll also try to fix the Navajo brige satellite image.

As my previous freeware, I selected this airfield because it was on my bucket list in real:

Niiiice, really looking forward to another of your little gems. Since you've visited the place, you probably have all the footage you need, but just in case, Josh at Aviation101 has some nice videos from the place, including the restaurant and the airport sign:

Awesome, it’s always exciting to see you start work on a new airport!

This is awesome, I really enjoy your airports, thanks!

I still remember a nice rendition of this airport created by CrazyCreatives for FSX and P3Dv2. I used to use it to make some flights in the area of Monument Valley, Telluride, Sedona and Las Vegas. Great choice !

I'm sorry, but for now I'm quite sure that I won't be able to reach the level of quantity of handmade object and the professionalism of Crazy Creatives work. The inner MSFS quality will definitely help me populating the area but I'm not confident it will reach the same... impression. We'll see. At least, I know, I'm not planning to build the Navajo Bridge Interpretive Center. Baby steps 😉

Thank you all for your feedback. Development is slowly progressing.

And another amazing scenery you're creating.  I've recently started flying around California to visit your creations.  Some incredible work.

I recently finished a multileg trip from the California coast to Canyonlands in the WB-Sim C172.

It would have been half the fun without your airports along the way.

Approaching Page I passed Marble Canyon and thought it was a shame we don't have a nice rendition of this lovely strip in MSFS yet.

Awesome you are working on it now!

Thank you so much for your contribution.

 

And if you ever head further east, KCNY could use some love too. 😉

Great job!

Excellent work!

This is looking great indeed! I have been exploring and enjoying several of your other releases in MSFS and this looks like it will fit right in 🙂 

[vbazillio 2,234]

Ok, my bad. It's not usefull for pilots and let's consider this as an Blender exercice. It wasn't planned initially but finally I'll try to build the Navajo Interpretative & Visitor Center, right at the Navajo Bridge(s) 🙂 Expect some delays for landing.

it couldn't' be worst than the default autogen-like version, isn't it ? 🙂

 

[sniper31 638]

I think it looks good, certainly better then the autogen version 😉
