Truk Lagoon First Look

[stovall]

Over the past several months Truk Lagoon for FSX has been taking shape. Find below a few images of Truk Lagoon including all the islands and the reef that surrounds them. It will include all three airfields, the naval base at Dublon Island and the two principal anchorages. Of course there has been multiple raids on the facilities and ships so there is visible damage. Enjoy.

That looks fantastic. Can't wait for this one. We're transforming the Pacific, one island at a time (ok, not "we", you talented people!) Back to the future! :)

Thanks guys for the comments. Making Truk Lagoon is my first attempt at scenery using my new learned techniques thanks to Roger Wilco-66, or to me and many Mark. It is addictive and really fun once you get the hang of it. There is always something new to learn both in technique and in the history of the scenery you are making.

Off to see my two day old grandson for the next four days so Truk is on hold till I return next week. I will have my laptop to keep in touch with SOH but that is about it. Cheers
