Freeware and it will be available. I just want to make sure I have included everything I want in it.
 
Hey Michael,

Any news about this project? Downloaded and installed your Acton scenery, and must say awesome work mate !

Cheers,
Hank
 
Thanks Hank, appreciate it. Yep, still going. Acton was a distraction so I didn't get tunnel vision, LOL. It also opened my eyes on distribution issues since I love photoscenery and this tends to be a file size issue. I may have to have separate sceneries/d/ls on this one.

My problem is I start a flight to check things and then other options opened up. In keeping with the theme, I thought about an airfield leased from the Saudis and found a cool spot North of the Yemen border. One thing lead to another and the next thing you know the photoscenery is down and.............:isadizzy:

Will post some new images once I get further along.
 
Wow, had forgot about this thread, thanks for bringing it back up. two things have kept me from finishing this to date, one was I got a freelance job at a games studio that took me away from FS for awhile and two was a HD crash (i of 3). I had files backed up, but not current, so there was/is quite a bit more I have to redo.
Good news is that I have been making good progress and thanks to some new techniques and a few apps I got while working at the game studio, I feel better about the quality and the performance of the new models.

My goal was always to have my island with the military base on it and a few other areas around the world with bases or FOBs that used the same scenario and the same library and try and keep to reality as much as possible. In testing the new objects I started using a small military airfield in Saudi Arabia, Ras Al Mishab. I picked it for 3 reasons, one was that in reality the U.S. and allies used it for awhile during the 1990 Gulf War, so not to far fetched. Second was that the photoreal part looked pretty decent so I did a big chunk of it and third was location in terms of conflicts around the world that might invlove NATO or special forces (been doing sorties into Iraq when not testing, LOL). While the main purpose is for testing objects, I figured I would release it as a scenery also.
Here are a couple of teasers.

I am very close to switching to P3D, but will finish this before even though Mark says I shouldn't have any problems with transitioning to designing between the two

I have some vacation coming up in a couple of weeks so hopefully can get quite a bit done then. Rest assured I am working on it and appreciate the interest

I would very much like to make it live in the NEUWUC world. I could plan a major exercise using the scenery - make the tanks, missile launchers, etc. autonomous platforms that shoot back, etc. (see http://navalengagement.net for an overview of NEUWUC).

How come you didn't mention how well this scenery could be implemented into Naval Engagement ? As it stands now we have KNFL scenery active with live SAM sites, I dare anyone to attempted a bombing run there and NOT get shot down or at least receive some damage . I made the run successfully in the Mig-21 only with the assistance of (SALTY) in his Prowler jamming everything ahead of me.

Oooops never mind spoke to late!
