NAVSTA Mayport Available Today

**jdhaenens** · December 29th, 2009, 03:21

This will be the last one for a while. I'm taking some time off designing to refresh and revitalize. I've found myself doing more and more and getting less and less out of it. Time for a break.

Having said that, Navsta Mayport is an interesting case. Someone did Naval Station San Diego years ago for FS9 and since then I haven't seen too many places to drive a ship into port. I looked at the nautical charts and have the buoys in the right places. I really wanted to do a range marker system, but the opportunity did not present itself.

The file has been uploaded to Flightsim and Simviation...Enjoy!

Never fails. as I was flying in today on the RTM copy, I noticed a missing texture. Please unzip this and throw it in the texture folder before you fly it.

Thanks.

Thanks so much.

To manually activate the scenery what cfg file do you modify?

The normal Scenery Library activation is all that's required. If you're having trouble adding scenery through that method, try clicking "Add Scenery" then right click in the white space. The scenery library add function is a bit flakey at times.

It's on Flightsim as well now.

That looks beautiful. Thanks for what you do!!

Someday I can only pray you'll make an awesome Alameda NAS.

Beautiful scenery. I sailed in the USS Saratoga (CV-60) out of Mayport. I kinda wish I was down there now....it's 7 degrees (f) here in Maine at the moment. Thanks for the fine work.

Outstanding as always!

Once again, thank you so much.

That looks great, any chance of Naval Station Norfolk ?

**Mithrin** · December 29th, 2009, 14:31

Thanks Jim, really appreciate it and take your time. Thanks for the scenery you've made for us.

**Old Crow** · December 29th, 2009, 14:38

Wow, this looks fantastic. You are the Bomb. :salute:
Can't wait to check it out.
Thank You!

**dexthom** · December 29th, 2009, 17:13

Thank you Jim, I trashed my old KNRB stuff and what a change. Beautiful!

**olaf1924** · December 29th, 2009, 19:39

The ships are around 50 to 100 feet out of the water sitting on the docks. I counted at least five ships like this. I am using fs genesis along with gex and utx. Jim what files or programs should I change or delete to use your scenery. This is the only scenery of yours that I find with any mis-alignment on my end. Jim any ideas on your end?

**jdhaenens** · December 30th, 2009, 04:11

Wow. I'd suspect either the mesh or a video card problem. The only time stuff has ever floated for me is when I overtaxed my video card. I deleted the waterpolies and shorelines that needed it, and built everything back from scratch, so as long as it's higher in priority than gex or utx, the ground should hold up, but the models, both number and complexity are even more detailed than Fallon.

Sorry you're not enjoying it right off.

Thanks, Jim. Good stuff, as always!

Cheers Jim.

Jim I am wondering if I have some other add-on scenery covering the same area. I am going to deactivate my add-on scenery folder and see what that looks like. I did notice last night that with out your scenery for the area I still had ships including a carrier. It seems like a scenery on top of a scenery with overlapping problems.

You might want to double check to see if you have the older Mayport scenery by Jim Cook loaded.

I got mine from Avsim under "mayport.zip".

With that version of Mayport I had at least one ship that was hovering. The file to look for as a clue that you have this other Mayport running is "knrb_ships_JC.bgl".

I'm using both UTX and FSG with this new Mayport and all of the ships are sitting perfectly.
