Photoreal coverage of the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in Oak Harbor, Wa. Photoreal scenery will include seasonal and night textures. All taxiways, runways and aprons redone to match real world imagery. Over 40 custom buildings have been modeled using Google Earth and other sources for reference. I used imagery of the actual roofs for most buildings. Over 100 parking spaces added (combat/cargo) using Google Earth images for reference Also added are static EA-6B and FA-18 aircraft by Guy Diotte on the aprons and working FLOLS trailers and arresting gear by Sylvain Parouty.

Here are some shots....

There's still some work to do....a few buildings still need to be modeled and I need to either try to model or find a static P-3 Orion. I have tried using Mike Stone's FS9 model, but it kills FPS for some reason. I haven't tried converting KBT's Orion with SAMM yet.....I have a feeling that it will have the same result.

If any of you GMAX wizards out there feel like whippin' out a simple static U.S. Navy P-3 Orion........ Roll Eyes

Roll Eyes

I thought I'd ask. In the mean time I'll try sharpening my GMAX skills 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"

Very nice Chuck! So are you building the base yourself for the sim or is it an outside source? I have the MAIW Whidbey Island NAS on my FS9. I have some shots of it from the air out of the cockpit of my EP-3 and some ground shots too with the EP-3 and EA-6B. I will post them today sometime. The base you have looks great.

I also should add that you'll want to get a GMAX model of an EA-18G Growler such as possibly this one - http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-super-hornet-fighter-ea-18g-model/668455 - and populate the western end of the tarmac with them. Just a thought.

THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS!!!

Coupeville already in progress Wink

Wink

I'm making this available as freeware, so the growler model isn't really an option. I have included static FA-18s by Guy Diotte.....although not accurate it fits the budget Wink

Wink

.......and I will definately let you know when it's complete

Here's a link to the beta........I've done a lot of work since uploading this file, but I would appreciate any feedback possible. Especially from someone with an interest in Whidbey Island NAS Wink

Thanks, guys.....yes, I am using GEX and OrbX PNW. I don't have UTX but I think it should be completely compatible Wink

A few thoughts:

a) MAIW has a freeware Growler model available. Ditto for the EP-3E. I've ported over their AI stuff - not their scenery - over to FSX + yours, good stuff.
b) Thanks for the WIP thought of OLF Coupeville, going to be awesome.
c) AI isn't taking off for me w/ your scenery for some reason. Please check into.

Thank you so much for making NASWI your first because the only airports this Skagitonian uses these days are KNUW, KNRA, KBVS, 74S & LGSA (to go bomb Libya from Crete). Let me know if you need help w/ AI too since I'm going to do my own tinkering w/ the MAIW stuff tonight - kunzler_josef-AT-comcast-DOT-net.
