My Humble Scenery Request for Christmas

Pearl Harbor Project

Crashaz

Could you please give us an update on your PHP? I have been following your project for years and would love to be able to fly around all your old Battlewagons.

Thanks
:salute:
 
Here's the new/newly refurbished Ford Island tower. I'll get it out...probably as a library object as there are a number of different iterations of Ford Island. It will probably take a month or so to break the model and textures sufficiently to make it look like the present day version :)

Crashaz: I'll email you the .mdl file and Textures.

Crusader: what version of Ford Island are you using?

WooHoo!!
Beautiful work Jim!!

Chief.... found the project files last night. The battlewagons are really done for CFS2... ie 7000 polys per LOD100 models.... so I could put them together great for CFS2... but with FSX... the details would leave something to be desired.


Going to compile the CFS2 versions.... and take my base Tennessee and see if I can get all the railing and details done in time for Christmas as a preview model.:wavey:

Beautiful job on the towers Jim . Here is a top down view . As far as what version(?) , I have MegaScenery Island of Oahu . The buildings look stock , the only changes I see are the surrounding terrain .

Got it. You have a PM Crusader.

For everyone else, the tower should appear on flightsim dot com today some time.

Merry Christmas!

Nicely done, Jim. Btw, who did the Ford Island photoreal?

Not me, yet...

I have source for O'ahu at 30cm and could cut out Ford Island if anyone wanted to annotate it (cough, Falcon409, cough).

Cleaning up the source is on the list of things to do, along with removing the clouds. Should see the light of day "some day" as a freeware release.


Excellent work, as always Jim. Look forward to adding it in-sim.
 
That's Megascenery Oahu in the photo real background. It's on sale right now at PC Aviator for $4.95! The airport ends up on a mini-plateau but it makes the island look gorgeous. The Ford Island buildings are removable with instant scenery, so it'd be pretty simple to make a custom scenery out of it....

I am going to go Internet wide to be begging someone to teach me the dark arts of photoreal textures... I want 1941 Oahu. The current photoreal textures just drive me nuts.

Have been working with a major scenery designer to modify their source file for the DEMs so we can get 1941 shorelines. That is going to be sweet.

Just need to find a way to get Orbx-like textures for 1941 Oahu. :icon_lol:
 
Dean and I did the whole island of Guam about 6 months ago. I just moved around the vector data and he gave me all the roads in a .kml file. You can actually modify anything including the photoreal background in Photoshop. I have Global Mapper so I just save a metafile before photoshopping it so I can get it back auto-georectified. The technology is available to regress the scenery to any time if you've got the info available.
 
Hehehe we use the same source I see LOL!!

Will track him down as he is headed to Baguio for the holidays with the wife's family I guess. :wavey:

Any specific version of Global Mapper? I found someone who wants to sell their version 11.
 
Hmmm looks like you have correct coastlines and modification of Hickam to complete runway and removing Honolulu Intl and readding John Rodgers.

Question is... are those poly modification for the shoreline or is that real mesh?

Pics are from PHP v2 for the oooooold sim... CFS2.

Guess I will call the next PHP-X :icon_lol:
 
Its looking really good guys! A dumb question but would it be possible to still have Honolulu Intl (FSdreamteam) work with this project? Just wondering. Also, were did you get that aircraft scott?
 
My feeling is if you set the year to 1940.... then you should have this conditional scenery be showing and not PHNL.
