[Released] Korean War "Chodo 1952" Scenery

[Roger]

Great work Mark

[Dimus]

One more:



Just wish to add that I get extremely fluid performance in P3D v3.2 with high settings.

Also, having been to Korea for work, I have to say that the landclass used for the island outside the photoreal parts gives a very authentic look.

[mikewmac]

I flew around the whole island in the dusk and made a rough video. Please excuse the silly notifications that I had forgotten to turn off in P3D. The landing is also rough but proves it is possible.

Again, Mark, amazing work!

Fantastic scenery, superb flying and great video!

@Flaviossa:

There's no record known to me that F-86 or other jets ever used that airfield, even in an emergency. They ditched near the island and were picked up by the rescue helos.
Prop driven aircraft like the C-47 did though, and the helicopters of the rescue unit of course!

By the way.
If you fly towards the north over the islands off the North Korean coast, and follow the Yalu river (Mig Alley) you'll know why the rescue unit was stationed on Ch'odo.

Nice video, Dimus!


Cheers,
Mark

Fantastic scenery and well done job.

Just a look from FSX

Klaus..

Is that with default FSX or do you have FTX and the other couple of bits mentioned in the readme? I downloaded it this afternoon but after reading it may have problems if FTX wasn't installed.. I stopped there.

It's no problem at all without FTX, the landclass just looks different! The other bits mentioned also only might affect the look in a way which was not intended. The scenery is still functional with or without these bits. You can install the scenery and sort things out later, if necessary.

Maybe I should change the wording in the readme.


Cheers,
Mark

[DaveB]

Cheers Mark. I know I don't have to change some things because I already have your Solomons installed. I'll drop it in and see what I can get away with

You'll be fine, Dave :-)

The S-5 Helicopter takes off from the LST on Cho-Do to rescue a downed pilot. Great scenery.

[DaveB]

You'll be fine, Dave :-)

It's not bad at all Mark Topographically.. I'm probably not seeing it as you do but with the exception of a set of floating trees near the base (which are only noticeable very close to).. it all sits very nicely

Do you use FreemeshX http://ninetwopro.com/ ?
The scenery and the absolute height used on many objects or polys is based on that terrain model.

Hiya Mark

No.. I didn't use that which is why I'm surprised the scenery looks as good as it does. I took a look but was worried that it may have an impact on my UK GenX scenery plus.. at 42Gb, it would take me a hell of a long time to download on my coal-powered broadband (5mb at best). If specific areas can be downloaded.. that would be a more attractive option but I didn't notice that on their site.
The base itself works well without the modified terrain. The only thing that needs looking at (for me) are the shorelines. They're defined (smoothly cut and without angles) but there are no beaches as such.

Dave,

FreemeshX comes in 9 parts that cover different parts of the world.

Ahhhh.. cheers Mark

Are there any specific areas I should look for in this area or use all the Asia areas?

[stovall]

Dave, during the testing Mark mentioned some differences in the pictures I sent back to him. That ended up being caused by the difference in the mesh. I used all of the FreeMesh Asia with great results. Made a big difference for me.

[DaveB]

Cheers Tom

To be honest.. the base on my setup looks exactly as it does in the shots posted here. What is lost by NOT having the same mesh is the work he went to over the rest of the scenery. I'll take a look at the Asia mesh though I'm starting to get twitchy about disc space. Will see what the Asia downloads amount to
EDIT: Yikes.. it's 14.3gig:O

Fortunately I have a very large dedicated SSD for P3D with plenty of room. I looked at the size of the Asia alone and gasped. After downloading and installing I am glad I bit the bullet. This is especially because Mark has more Asia scenery in development. Now I am ready for and the goodies he will produce.
