I'm having issues with the scenery. looks like a double image on the runway, and the ground below it is not level.....lots of shadows below the runway also. Seems the terrain is not correct for some reason. If you look at the farmhouse you can see the driveway drops off at like 90 degrees also. this is the effect all around the runway area. Maybe I have something set up wrong?

In this instance you have not installed the PNW.004 patch which corrected many elevations through PNW including KHQM. Once you install the PNW.004 patch it will be fine. You can grab the patch from here - http://fullterrain.com/support.html#pnw

Hi flaviossa,

I tried the switchable ENB awhile ago, didn't like it so I removed it.
Must admit it's looked better since, but I don't know why.

Bruce.

WOW! Freeware? Seriously? That is Outstanding quality!:applause:
Cheers to FTX/Orbx.

[TeaSea]

I just wanted to note that Joe Watson is currently serving as my personal notification agent on any new Orbx upgrades....without which I would miss half this stuff.

Thanks Joe!!:icon29::icon29:

[LouP]

Great, thanks for the freebie. But what if you already own the PNW package (like I do ;) ) Anyway to get just the airport?

LouP :wavey:

[LouP]

Never mind, I see it and yes I'm an idiot :medals:

Hehe found the little fokker in the grass:icon_lol:

You've heard this joke haven't you?

There was an old WWII dutch pilot who was asked to speak to his grandsons school class about his experiences in the war.

The dutchmen starts explaining about one patrol he was doing.

"We were heading north when a little fokker came out from behind a cloud and started shooting".

The teacher interrupts and explains "A fokker was a type of german aircraft"

The dutchman replies "yes, it was miss. But this little fokker was in a messerschmitt".

I'm glad to report that with all the updates including the new library, my PNW is much improved. Mental note to visit the support/patches page more often!

To use this orbix scenery does one need a special program from orbix?

[big-mike]

You need the PNW payware package or the Demo.

[Felixthreeone]

This is an excellent scenery and a wonderful addition to the PNW. Thank you ORBX for this!

[Daube]

Finally I could find the time to test this fantastic scenery. I'm amazed at how good it looks. Big thanks to OrbX for providing such an impressive piece of freeware. :applause:

Hi there,

If you have not yet installed any FTX regions from Orbx, you can simply download our Pacific Northwest demo which has KHQM Bowerman Airport included already.

To grab our free PNW demo visit http://fullterrain.com/product_demos.html

[mmann]

Bad enough that Orbx puts all the other payware scenery developers to shame, but now they have to do the same to us lowly freeware developers!

Great job Orbx!! Now you just have to make your way a little further north up to Vancouver Island lets say. :applause:

Regards, Mike Mann

[jmig]

Great little airport! Thanks a million.

Thanks for all the kind words, I am humbled by the reception :salute:

[TeaSea]

It really is very well done. I'm looking forward to purchasing the Rockie's at some later date. I've not quite finished exploring PNW just yet though.

[dvj]

Over Bowerman. Those ORBX guys......:salute:

Those of us living here in the PNW have been spoiled rotten! :jump:

Especially those living south of the Canada–United States border.

[spotlope]

Especially those living south of the Canada–United States border.

If we could get our mitts on some free (or at least affordable) Canadian aerial imagery, we'd have a host of high-res airports done up there. It doesn't seem fated to happen, though.

[limjack]

Mom always said to say thankyou but in this case no pressure from Mom. A Huge thanks from the heart from this flight sim guy!!

Jim

[Daube]

Still loving it ! Just made a short flight from 11S to KHQM with the Accusim B-17, that was a blast !

[bkeske]

Beautiful. This has been one my favorite airports in FS for a long long time. It has never looked this good. :applause:

[mfitch]

Anyone else notice that the dock nearby is big enough to use as a short airstrip?

Thank you John for the info. I too have had level terrain issues. I understand a developer's desire to have questions handled in one place, his website. Still, I have no interest or desire to go to every site from which I purchase add-ons. It is nice to have a place like SOH that is sort of a one stop shop. At least for easy issues like this one.

[Sedr37]

Great!!!

[airattackimages]

Ok, I'm way late to the party but WOW.


ORBX, we love you. :salute:
