Thorsten Loth of sim-wings has kindly sent some fresh and first images of their actual project: Fairbanks Airport, Alaska.
As we are told work is progressing steadily, all the building are in place, still missing the window mirroring effects as you will see in the below images. Basically all 3d-Objects like vegetation and vehicles are however still missing. But if you know the localities you will have no trouble recognizing the airport already.
Fairbanks Scenery will first launch in a FSX only version but Thorsten has good news for all FS2004 users: that version will follow suit and will be at no extra cost.
Instead of searching for charts in different places over the web, FS-Charts is a new software launched by Hinrichs IT-Service. In one central place and offline on your hard disk, you’ll have all needed FAA navigational informations.
According to the maker’s homepage, it’s divided in region package. At simMarket, you can purchase the first US Package (~15.000 charts) for 1 year, and optionally for 2 years long. The Europe package with 15.000 charts more inside, should be ready later in a separate product.
How interesting it is when you have knowledge in code programming, you can reproduce some nice piece of software.
