• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Thanks for the quick reply.
As far as I know this is (at least close to) how the runway actually looks.

Wow, stunning!!! Do you plan to do Cayman Brac (the island in the background of your very first image) too?

Cayman Brac (MWCB) is currently not planned but it could be an obvious future project. We are concentrating on our current projects for now. ;)

Hi,

Looks extremely well done and very, very nice (even for payware):cool:.
Just a point I am wondering about: the trees outside your scenery (but probably inside the photoreal! They do not blend in with the rest of the island in FSX. Yours look good but the (autogen?) ones outside your scenery look awful compared to yours. So you either find a way to adapt the default surroundings or you lighten your own trees.
If you manage that, it is payware scenery.
Funny though that the P3D screenshots do not seem to show that and your own scenery trees blend in well with theirs:confused:.

Thanks!

The trees seen in my P3D shots are third-party. I assume Dave is using default FSX trees in his shots.
I'm afraid the only way around this is to replace default tree textures unless Dave has another way of fixing or replacing them...Dave?

I made autogen trees for the whole island as filling it with Gerome's ones manually would kill performance. I even tried to add Gerome's trees to the autogen sources without success. So I decided to live with it.
Or are there any suggestions to quickly fix this?

Any chance for an upload to a faster site like Avsim?

As much stuff as SimV has, the 30KB/s download speed cap is bloody awfaul.
