Working Projects and Published Projects

Just going to use one thread for published projects
Here is Athlone, Ireland, Custume Barracks. I put about 100+ hours into this one and it is a very addicting approach, especially if you use weather. Athlone was previously not covered in FSX at all, and a user requested it from another forum. As I worked on it, the more I enjoyed the project.

Here is my latest work on Athlone Ireland if you enjoy flying helos

Here is my latest, Galway-Renmore.
This adds two new heliports, and a landclass correction. Landclass correction adds increases the density of the city of Galway, as well as plenty of VFR scenery. This includes Renmore Army barracks, Renmore Harbor, and Galway Hospital. I included Renmore Barracks as a heliport, even though I do not believe it is actually used as one, or often. Galway Hospital has two helipads, a primary active, and secondary that appears inactive, both available.

Lovely addon for Galway! Adds a few points of interest to a small but iconic Irish city which has been somewhat neglected in terms of detail in both the default FSX scenery and even in Orbx Ireland (with which it is fully compatible). Beautifully modelled hospitals with nicely lit helipads at the main one - great for night approaches! Thank you

I feel like Ireland was made for helicopter flying, tiny island. It freaks me out Athlone to Galway is a 15 minute flight in the MH65

Yes it is if you ignore the weather! Before the economic meltdown of 2008, there were about 300 commercial helicopters active in the country, which for a population of about 4.5 million was pretty intense!

Here is the shot of the Galway primary helipad. I forgot which site we were talking about the lights. But sure enough it is 18 lights, 18 was a little crowded, so I ultimately went with 16. I have yet to try to add weather, but the wind sock was such a beautiful subtle touch! Something Athlone did not feature.

Clear Lake Hospital helipad

Nice shot of the Texas Monument from KEFD tower

Brand new tower shot from T41 La Porte Municipal, I put it exactly in between T41 and KEFD, where the R22 is downwind, and R17 is making base turn. You can now watch yourself do the pattern like an RC plane . Also allows for sweet shots around the area. I put the camera at about 950 feet.

One more shot in honor of James Shaddox's custom model work! Lovely FS2004 scenery that works in FSX and P3D. I'd argue it is necessary for Houston in FSX! Adds Minute maid, toyota center, george R brown, and many more. My project really is the prefect compliment for James Shaddox's scenery, as it picks up where he left off. Southeast Houston, and several parts of north houston, including the KIAH area.

- I am finishing up a bunch of really cool touches to this project, and greatly cleaned up the messy landclass work. I have also converted two large chunks of high rise scenery to medium or large city suburbs, it looks great. This involved tightening up landclass with UTX's roads, and correctly the Space Center-University of Houston-Clear Lake area. It really looks great. I will upload version V2.0 very soon.
- I have added Kemah boardwalk amusement park, considering adding custom light effects to ferris wheel and roller coaster.
- I added a ton of detail to Johnson Space center and properly tightened up its landclass.
--- Made the electromagnetic radar arrow point more properly towards NASA rd 1
-- Added Saturn V rocket and Talon Park!
---- Still need to add the fence
---- Some trees along Nasa Rd 1
---- Finish marinas in Kemah, Southshore Harbor
--- added and finish Shipping port cranes and cargo ships in port
--- added and correct placement of the USS Texas across the street from San Jacinto Monument!
--- Tightened up landclass near University of Houston Clear Lake and Boeing

At this point the landclass is extremely accurate!

This project now looks seamless with default FSX, UTX, and ORBX. I am very excited to try this in FSX and P3D.

Still planning to add Galveston Hospital, Baytown Hospital, finish Sugarland airport area. Make a very small landclass tightening around KIAH's I-10
