Funny story, but I think that old abandoned strip in the one photo is the same a friend of mine had her engagement photos taken on.

Cool......lookin' forward to seeing for myself Cool

Let's keep our images under 1024 wide in the future though Wink
 

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Not really an FS screenshot, more of an update:
I've finished hand placement(!) of nearly 30,000 autogen buildings.

You are EPIC!!! Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
 

This... Is Rio.

Loud and talkative Bengal cat. He's not ours; his owner lives two houses down, but he wanders around the neighborhood getting food and talking to his human friends. He'll sometimes get into a fight if he meets another cat though... But it's rare because he's kicked out all other cats in the neighborhood. He thinks all the houses are his too...
I came up with the name "ilikerio" way back in 4th grade, and I've used it with most user accounts ever since.

Scenery look awsome, well done. But could you add an option for the people who like to install manually? I like to see whats what in the file and not deal with the registry thing and deleting it off of the remove programs. That would be kindly appreciated  Wink

Thanks everyone.

Mtnbiker29er, I did intend to implement an installer but I will keep that in mind.
The only issue is that custom autogen cannot be added without decompiling, editing and recompiling some FS files. I intended to do that automatically for the user. But perhaps I will find away to keep everything optional yet functional.

Latest update for those interested:
Autogen trees have been added for the entire island: approximately 40+ hi-res models and 150+ low-res models giving variation of over 200 trees categorized according to the geography of Grenada.

Also the wet and dry seasonal terrain has been finished:

Full-sized image.

Any comments, criticisms (positive and negative) and/or suggestions are welcome.

The only negative I see is the wait til you're finished and published.  I am soooo lookin' forward to 'terrorizing' this scenery with my "advanced" flying skills.  {Actually it'll be a lot of cratering into the scenery as I get fixated on sightseeing!}

It's folks like you and Alrot, and a plethora of others, that make simming the joy that it is!  Thanx for your time and effort Sir!

Any guesstimate as to release date?

Thank you for the kind comments U4EA.
In the preview video I had stated end of summer, but right now I'd like to refrain from making any other statements on that as the product has yet to even enter Beta testing, with September fast approaching.  Lips Sealed

That would make an interesting mission jack_ryan.

Here are a few more pics of the cafe and terminal:

And I've finished the tower:

I know the long shadows are going to look odd at any other time than late afternoon, but they're the best photos I could get.
I kinda like the detail they add anyway.  Let me know what you think.
