Ware Island, Alabama

SOH-CM-2013
Based upon the interest in my Greenville, Alabama, scenery I've decided to upload my modified default FSX Ware Island. There is presently a minor anomally in one of the flatten polygons. If I can't get it straightened out, I will probably go ahead and upload it anyway. Maybe someone more talented using flattens will be able to fix it.

It is a private airstrip which sits in Lay Lake, Alabama. I used to fly out to it from Clanton, Alabama, quite often.

Be advised that this add-on will not work properly unless you have UTX installed.

Plan B: I can't even get the flatten polygons to show up on ADEX now. So here's my plan B for this scenery.

If anyone would like to have a crack at fixing the terrain anomaly that shows up on the far south east corner of the island, please p.m. me with your e-mail address. I'll send you the file to look at. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be uploading it. I just can't bring myself to upload a file that I know needs additional work.

RD
 
A good friend has agreed to take on the ground work aspect of this scenery. When he gets through with sorting out all the different elevations, etc., I'm going to put all the objects back into their respective places. We'll then release it so that anyone who would like to can join us for a fly-in at an airstrip on an island in the middle of a river. Float planes are also welcome.

I had never heard of this airport until you mentioned it. Now I'm having a blast flying out of it with many different planes. Thanks for giving me a new place to have some FSX fun! :salute:

Cheers,

Walter

You are welcome Walter. Hopefully within the next week or two, you'll be able to fly out of my updated scenery mod for this airport.

Got me wanting to fly into it as well RD. Took an "Oldie but Goodie" out of the hangar and flew from Greenville up to the Island.

. . . .and of course the screens got jumbled in the upload process, lol

He, he, I jumble my screen shots often myself. Looks like there is a fair amount of interest in this scenery. I must admit it is not your everyday ordinary destination. I'm partial to it because I have spent many a great Sunday afternoon flying out to it from Clanton in my Luscombe and later my Ercoupe. Actually, I've also flown out to it way back when I had my first Aeronca Champ. I took my PPL check ride at Clanton, Alabama. Lots of memories. Some of them include flying around with the owner of the island in his Stinson 108 on floats.

I've begun work on Prattville Airport in Prattville, Alabama. That's where I kept my very first airplane. It was an Aeronca Champ...N3547E. That airplane is included in LikSki's Champ package. Which btw works just fine in FSX. My final Alabama airport will be Wetumpka Airport. When I finish it, I will have all the airports modified in Alabama to which I have a personal connection.

I'm attaching a WIP of the Prattville main hanger/fbo.

Excellent RD. . . .I'll be picking that one up when complete. Just a side note. . .are you aware that you have a "Military Combat" parking spot at your Greenville scenery?:salute:

Yes...I have an AI Grumman Ag Cat that flies out of Greenville and that's its designated parking spot. I think it's named AC1. A medium general parking spot would have worked just as well.

WIP of the reworked and smoothened island: Sorry Randy, I could not contain myself... I love this place! Some rough edges and cliffs still need to be smoothened, and it will then be sent (probably tonight) to RD to put the objects back to where they are supposed to be and add anything he sees fit.

Now I know why I didn't hear from you this morning...:icon_lol: :icon_lol:I'm glad you couldn't "contain" yourself my friend. That is really looking good.
I shall look forward to once again placing the scenery objects.

Sylvester Airport, Georgia

I have almost finished updating my Sylvester, Georgia airport. This airport is vacant at the time. It is about 20 miles from Tifton, Georgia.
I thought it would be a good companion for Dimus' Tifton KTMA airport. As a matter of fact, his trailer is already there.

As I stated, it has no tenents right now. So if anyone is interested in an ag operation, I expect Worth County will lease it to you. There is no av gas on the premise so you'll have to fly over to Tifton for fuel. That's what the last ag operater did in real life.

RD
 
The bulldozers are done. Now RD has to do some cleaning up and revamp of the infrastructure, maybe plant some more trees too:

Fantastic Job Dimus! and RD... better get that foliage back in :icon_lol:

Thanks Matt. I'm working on putting all the scenery objects back in place, including your golf cart. I'm also planting trees.

I'll post some screen shots when I get things somewhat in their proper places once again.

I saw the airport and couldn't resist trying to make a quick photoscenery. Data available from the USGS National Geospatial Program. 1 meter/pixel (LOD15), color corrected, with blend and land/water masks. Here's the scenery as viewed in TMF Viewer:

Still needs autogen annotation, and the underlying island in-sim needs to be excluded, along with the airport and flatten re-done, but it appears that some people here have already done that. If you want to try my photoscenery, you can get it via Dropbox.

Thanks for the offer orionll ;however, at this stage of its development, I don't plan to make any further changes.
