    Tern Island

    I just uploaded Tern Island. This scenery has sounds, Day and night.
    The scenery was made with SBuilderX and is in the correct position according to satellite views. The airport was corrected with Airport Design Editor. There are 2 custom objects in the scenery, one the Tern Island sign which was done with gmax by myself and the other is the windsock and I have no idea where I got that. Whoever did it I am eternally grateful for it. It's the best windsock I've seen. The sounds I have been collecting for the past 3 FS's. I hope you enjoy this scenery.
    Before trying to install, please read the read_me.
    I hope you enjoy this. It gives you a place to stop and refuel between Midway and Hawaii.

    Well ....... I haven't uploaded all that much to this site, but, I ain't gonna do it on Sunday any more. I really don't blame them either. I wouldn't raise a finger on Sunday if I didn't have to.

    Do you mean ...... you got out of there the first time without a strike? Or catching a bush?

    There are some issues with Windows 7 and Direct X 11.
    And you must have acceleration.

    Joe,
    Would it be that in the middle of the Pacific that tidal variations are minimal? With an island like that it woulf be easily washed away.

    Roger ... thats about the only thing I didn't do. I did think about it though. I just couldn't figure out how to make it do that.

    Oh no I wasn't suggesting tides should be modeled Joe you've done a great scenery for us. It's just I wonder how so many "just above sea level" islands survive (tsunamis excluded).

    LOL, people in Hawaii just love it when someone refers to the mainland as "the States". It's enough to send my Hawaii-born wife into apoplexy. "We're a state, too!" she stammers. Pretty sure Tern is part of the Hawaiian chain. :mixedsmi:

    Would that be "away from the Eastern 49"?

    Nice shots! I've gotta take my 130 up and try that route, too. Where did the flight originate?
