ORBX PNW scenery question

R

Reddog

SOH-CM-2014
Have this and, I think, all the updates but tell me is there any scenery for any of the float plane bases, I have yet to find any and with all the effort they put in to this I would think they wouldn't let those out.
 
Hey man I just got this scenery too... in the user documents theres a large jpeg image of all the airports... Also I recommend skyvector.com and flying the west coast of OR up to WA state - I've found a few seaplane bases just via this route
 
I found the seaplane bases just there is no scenery for any of them, that's what I mean. Is there scenery for them and I just don't have it or what.
 
Reddog, are you asking if there are scenery enhancements for the Seaplane bases? If you download the kmz file Dain mentioned it helps locate all the airports and water landing areas included in the package, but I have yet to land at any water landing area in PNW that has any scenery enhancements done to it which is quite surprising actually.
 
lol, ya beat me to it Reddog, I figured that was what you were asking. I'm really surprised that with all the effort put into this package that nothing was done to the seaplane side of it.

Well, I posted the question on the Orbyx forums and immediately got an answer from someone telling me that there are "several" around the San Juan Island area with docks and boats, etc, lol. There are a lot more than "several" water landing areas in the PNW region though, lol.
 
I'd recommend looking at these 'sea plane bases' in Google Earth.
You're going to find a majority of them are just a dock, or a ramp to a small hangar.
Pretty similar to most private airfields that are nothing more than a strip of grass. :wavey:

RedDog: Thanks for posing the question.

JayKae: Many thanks for the steer. I was about to toss-in the towel when I found them down there under Downloads / 3rd Party Downloads / User Scenery. A lovely trove, and most welcome, for sure. I shall keep a sharp eye on this area in future.

Brad (and all other devs): Many thanks for your artful and thoughtful contributions!
