Video: 2 cm/pixel airport from OrbX

I am not saying anyone here is wrong about anything they posted, just that since Orbx is blazing trails into some new territory, we should applaud it and see where it goes.

yes still early days, lets see how and where this leads

Beautiful video, fabulous scenery. Sheesh we've come a long way since I started with FS4. I today saw a vid on YT which intimated that FTX were now done with PNW and moving on. It was a nice video which reprised every scenery they had produced up our way. Is this true, are we done?

There are still 4 PNW airports to come out: Monroe, Creswell/Walker, Sequim and Pearson Field. Some of them you already see on that PNW Combo Trailer. PNW is now really buzzling with airports while the other regions are pretty empty. PFJ only has Ketchikan so far, NRM two freeware airfields in the Albertan prairy, CRM and NZSI have nothing at all. And with NCA, SAK and NZNI there are 3 new regions coming out this year. So it's about time that they leave PNW for good.
Steward and Bella Coola will come for PFJ, Jackson Hole and West Yellowstone for CRM, Queenstown and Milford Sound for NZSI. Strangely no word about NEM and Bill Womack's Nantucket...

I believe there is much, much more up the Orbx sleeve...they released the 'road map' to give people a broad look at what is in the works...but as one of the developers said on their forums, there is a lot that they are keeping under-wraps as well....

...The final releases for PNW are the ones listed above; I wouldn't be surprised to see in the next month or two announcements of a flurry of new airports for the NRM, CRM, and so on. Remember, they are also planning on adding two more large coverage areas (Norcal and South Alaska) to the mix. I am finding it harder and harder to fly out of the PNW since there is so much to see and fly there...but KJAC will definitely broaden that scope, and I look forward to the new areas as well

This thread wasn't actually meant as a HU for an upcoming OrbX airport (for more awww see Jackson Hole, WY) but as a HU to designers for this more effective airport design technique.

Where do you get 2 cm source data? Photos or synthetic?

According to Russ White they were hand-made in a lot of hours. Therefore it won't be a new design standard.

Well that Alaska part certainly is something to look forward to.

This beautiful airport has just been released. I am downloading as I type this, and once I have it installed will post my findings on performance, etc....

As a follow-up, I figured i would let everyone know that not only is the performance good, it is EXCELLENT. Easily the best performing ORBX scenery I have ever used. My framerates were high...so high, in fact, that I actually had to lock them at 30 (I usually run unlimited).

They were skyrocketing into the hundred range...with every slider maxed (including autogen), REX OD, ENB, Shade, and AA at 8XS and 2XSGSS. This was in the VC and exterior of the Carenado Piper Seneca. Frames were fantastic.

.....There is natureflow there, but no control panel option to turn it of...and no need to, apparently. I will test more with live weather, but I don't think that will affect it much. And I can't even tell you...how awesome this scenery looks!!!! It is one of the coolest run-down airfields I have ever seen in FS!!!!! Love it!!!! It is super-real!!
