Scenery Set II is in it's final testing........

It includes custom models, textures, effects, AI (both air and sea), day and night lighting.....

My first step problem was how to get the WWII fighters out to the Island...That was solved by the Navy offering to ferry them out aboard one of the modern aircraft carriers.....It, along with a cruise ship tranporting the crew leaves from Long Beach every other Tuesday at about 3 p.m. local....The carrier is landable and you can make the 3 day journey aboard her.

The second problem was how to get the crew there....easy answer...buy an old 747.

Here's some pics...

After landing we took the old 172 over to XBEL, Bellows Air Force Base. We had lease the airfied and do many hours work to get her operational....Now, it's our support base for the WWII Airfield scenery. The airfield has two main areas....The movie set and the crew area. The crew area has a heli-pad and seaplane dock....

The airfield is still under construction with dirt strips....there are a number of Artillery Batterys, Anti-Aircraft Batterys, and a couple of areas for catalinas to come up on shore.....

With the permission of Several Fine Folk, the scenery includes 3 vintage WWII carrier groups, the "Big E" Enterprise, the Ranger, and the Saratoga. Plus there are a number of subs operating in the area that pass by from time to time.

In addition, I included a couple of other small sceneries in the islands...but I'll put more information in the read-me.

Here's the second series of photos....

I got to play with as a tester and it is really neat, especially the carrier landings.
Great job well done
Thanks Chris:woot:
 
Very impressive work! It really creates the WWII PTO atmosphere that CSF2 has worked to achieve and FS9 and FSX is in need of but has the potential of taking this to a much higher level.

Having created the objects and AI, think of the possibilities! You could ship the same crew out to Henderson Field in the Solomons, with the Japanese Tokyo express cruising up the Slot and the Sara and (first) Big E cruising nearby . .
 
I just uploaded to AVSim, couldn't upload here to Big!

Should be available later tonight or in the moring...

Enjoy.....

Stayed tuned....

MoCat, scenery looks great. I just got a install issue I corrected and this 2nd part is great. Seems Megacity HI Oahua conflicts Movie makers. Removed megacity from fsx and now your scenery is properly working. My FSX scenery will stay that way as I prefer your scenery:ernae::ernae::ernae:
 
After one quick test: You do NOT want to see it over Megascenery Hawaii - cliffs everywhere. I'm going back in a while from Kaneohe and see of there is a safe runway. I ripped the gear off of a Hellcat trying to get out. :faint:
