Heron's Nest is out

[StormILM]

The iBlue Yonder Heron's Nest Scenery is out. It looks stunning, but a bit forbiddingly cold right now! lol

#1 Aircraft right now and love those island hideaway scenery's - but you assume we all know where you are? Is it less frosty in the summer months?

[StormILM]

It's off the coast of Maine which yes, during the warm months, this scenery will be quite fun and challenging to fly in and out of. I'm not sure if you can download this direct from iBlue Yonder (if you did not sign up for it in advance as I did last year) but if you have not signed up, give it a shot here: http://iblueyonder.com/your-own-private-island-free/

[Roger]

I signed up and just received an e-mail with a link to download:jump:

[ryanbatc]

Can someone give me a dead reckoning heading and airport to start off from? I assume this is a fictional airport so I'm not even sure where to start from

[StormILM]

Type in Herons Nest in the airport search field, the results should show both the airfield and sea plane base. Not too sure what the closest land airfield is.

[gman5250]

Don't have a dead reckoning, but...
LAT/LON: N43° 46’ 27.55” W69° 35’ 13.72” will get you to the island.



Bill Womack's early vegetation was what originally got me interested in scenery design.
Thank you Mr. Womack for this wonderful little location, your exquisite craftsmanship and your generosity.

This is an amazing place! Got the email too and was very happy about it!

The installer does not install to P3D v3. I tried pointing it and it installed but got an error message when starting the sim about the viva.dll. I ignored it but the sim ctded upon loading the flight at Heron's nest. Any ideas or workarounds?

Scenery worked fine in FSX.

Edit: I see Ed's screenshot is from v3. How did you do this Ed?

Just sent it to an alternate file folder and then manually installed.

The two closest airports will be Brunswick NAS (KNHZ) or Wiscasset (KIWI).

Very nice place, cozy even. I signed up 3 months ago.
In this context it might be of interest that Alex Goff of OrbX just revealed (during an ADX interview) that his next project would be Bar Harbor KBHB and Acadia NP which is only 66 NM from Heron's Nest. Ofc, Bill's very own Plum Island is only 80+ NM south of this little gem.

I signed up this afternoon, got an immediate download email. The download was not an "application" file. So I added ".exe" to the name and it changed to an executable file. Clickin' it loads the scenery fine. It's a short flight for me flying out of NAS Brunswick (Currently the field is the Brunswick Executive Airport, but to me it will always be NAS Brunswick).
This is a very nice little scenery, payware quality for sure. It's kind of forbidding this time of year, especially with bad weather loaded.
Thanks Bill Womack and crew for a great gift.

Am so glad someone posted about this. I had signed up when it was initially announced. The email from iBlue did reach me yesterday, but had inadvertently deleted it, thinking it was from "Skyblue" radio (which I don't listen to anymore, but is a cool online station to listen to while simming!). Fortunately the email was still in my Trash folder, and I had not permanently deleted it. Will download this evening. NC:encouragement:

Same happened to me as well Chief, then it dawned on me what the email was (I had nearly forgotten about this scenery). Glad everyone is enjoying it. I can say that the runway elevation is rather hard on nose gear. I wrecked my MU-2B-60 not once but twice after touchdown (followed by a few 4 letter expletives). Perhaps I'm setting my skill and aircraft limitations expectation a tad high??? lol

[spotlope]

I'm so happy you guys are enjoying it! The screenshots are fantastic, by the way.

If anyone believe they're on my mailing list but didn't get the link to download, do two things for me please:

1. Check your trash and spam folders in your email. At least one subscriber who thought he didn't get it found it misfiled in spam.
2. If you can't find it anywhere, send me an email at iblueyonder@gmail.com and I'll check to make sure you're on the list and send it to you manually if so.

Thanks!

Alex and I talked about his plans a few months ago. His Bar Harbor will be amazing, I'm sure. It's nice to see New England getting more love.

Great shots John. I was also landing there with the Super Cub Amphib. First landing was less than spectacular once I realized the rwy went uphill, lol. After that the technique changed considerably, lol.

[pilto von pilto]

spotlope : Yep I did notice that you used a different texture on the backs ( and fronts ) of the end of runway crosses. Could have so easily used a different front texture but used the same back texture... Tis those little things that make it. Most people wont know why it looks good ( its this reason amongst others ) just wanted to say I noticed it. :encouragement:

And for all the others no I didnt make the landing and the take off was hairy !

Apparently it is not compatible with P3D V3.1. I installed it there and get the following message when I start the sim. But it is something I can live with as it is only a mouse click to get rid of it and enjoy the scenery.

These are taken in P3Dv3.1 with all shadows enabled! I didn't installed the module, hence no error. If installed, viva_P3D.dll error. No vegetation.

The .dll that runs the seasonal vegetation isn't signed for P3Dv3.1 unfortunately. I'm sure in time that will be addressed.
I opted to only run the Nest in v2.5. Still very, very nice though.

One of the advantages to ignoring installation instructions or looking beyond the surface. I only have P3D_v3.1 and so I let it install to 2.5, lol. It made it's own folder and installed. I just moved the main scenery folder to my main scenery folder where I keep all sceneries, added it to the library and voila' no errors. Since I didn't look beyond the main folder I had no idea there was a module installer. . .it wasn't run, hence no messages.

[mthrift]

Hey guys,

I love this little place, and rarely fly outside of the west coast Orbx regions (though you're very well represented over there, Bill. Thanks!). But I have been tempted eastward in the past by some of Ed's (Falcon409) really high quality Maine sceneries:

35ME Matinicus Island
57B Islesboro ME
MES2 Marshall Island ME
. . . there may be others?

All of these make great little short hop trips to or from Heron's Nest.

If you'd like a little longer trip, you can depart from Ed's KBID Block Island RI. Or, if you'd like to approach from terra firma, you could start from Michael Carr's 02ME Old Acton.

Thank you ALL for these beautiful places to visit and enjoy virtually! :applause::applause::applause:


Regards,
Michael

[mthrift]

I"ve coveted that orange-ish repaint of the Stearman that shows in your post above, since seeing it many years ago. Did you ever make it available to the public? I'd love to fly that one.

That's how I installed mine too. Did you perhaps run your P3D v2 first? I didn't do that. I just copied the folder and ran P3D v3

I only have two sims installed P3D_V3.1 and FSX. When the installer couldn't find P3D_V2 I thought it would quit, but it gave me the option to install anyway. . .to a folder it made up for P3D_v2. So I ran the installer then just moved the Heron's Nest scenery folder to my folder I keep on a separate drive for all my scenery. Since I didn't look beyond being sure it has a "scenery" and "texture" folder, I never saw the module installer sitting inside the scenery folder, lol.

I only have preparv3.1. I installed pretty much the same as Ed.( I have all of Ed's Maine scenery). I manually installed it, did not use the .exe file. Everything works great except, no bushes. The only option that does not work is being able to take off from the water. The only float plane that works is the Icon5.

While I appreciate that people like to have control over their setups, bear in mind that the auto-installer does more than just put some scenery in a folder and register it in the scenery.cfg. It also installs the module that controls the vegetation and at least one model in the scenery. Unless you run the exe, there's more manual work to do to get it right, and more support requests if you have trouble. The installer has been thoroughly tested on a number of platforms, and should give you no problems. I strongly recommend people use it.

Bill

I have narrowed my mesh problem down to the LCS mesh, unfortunately.

To be clear, this is the installer that's tucked away in the scenery folder inside Heron's Nest in the MyProduct folder?

No, the installer I was referring to is the main exe that you downloaded - IBYHN100.exe. Running that will install the scenery and put things where they need to be, including activating the viva.dll.

For FSX-SE it installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\MyProduct, so I dragged the Heron's Nest folder to my Steam's Addon Scenery folder. P3d would have sent it to the right place, and I now find that if I'd selected FSX and not Steam it would have sent it to E:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\FSX, where it ought to be.

Yep, that's the installer nightmare devs are dealing with right now. There are so many permutations of sim installation, and rather than having a set path, it seems that the Steam Edition changes based on whether you have FSX installed already or not. It's a bit of a pain to make an installer that works for absolutely everyone. Doesn't mean I'm going to stop trying, though! :-)

In my defense, it's an addon mesh issue, as the product lines I've purchased in the past show the same issue. Which makes me wonder...

Don't people use addon mesh? Because if they did, more than Morten would have seen this.

There's a fairly simple fix available and I'll ask Bill if wants a copy for distribution.


BTW, nice place to land, even if I only used 1/3 of the runway...:encouragement:

[racartron]

I'm having the exact same issue with FSGenesis' best mesh.

[sidler]

I only use 1/8 of the runway:encouragement:

For the folks that have P3Dv3.1, the dll fix is available. Start the sim and when you get the dll message click check on line and it will update the dll and you won't get the dll message the next time you start

I ran the update, selected run once and the "Nest" booted right up with all .dll controlled features working. Re-booted the sim and no warning message. Looks good to go here.

Thanks Bill, for the rapid response.

She's a beauty in 3.1

[ryanbatc]

More great shots! And vids!

For the P3D 3.1 users, the next time the pop-up appears, click "Check Online" instead of "Run Once". The developer says he's updated the online validator to include P3D3 now.

Bill

It worked! Thanks Bill

[TuFun]

Thanks Bill, works like a charm!

For anyone who was holding out for official support, I just emailed out a new version of The Heron's Nest that fully supports P3Dv3.

[AussieMan]

Thanks Bill. Downloaded and installing after my forum fix.

[AussieMan]

I have upgraded up to P3D V3.2 and now getting this message and am wondering it is to do with Heron's Nest.

The Viva .dll will need to be signed to the new 3.2 version Pat. Anything like Bill's package, ORBX or Instant Scenery that require a .dll need to be updated by the author. Your "nest" will still work, but the seasonal variations will not function until it's updated.

This is one of the drawbacks of scenery that requires an .xml to run various bits. I just updated too...now waiting for IS.

[AussieMan]

I thought it may have been the case Gordon. I was also getting the ObjectFlow.dll message as well. The ORBX dll updated but still got the message for this one so I thought it was the Heron's Nest. Thanks for clearing it up.

No worries Pat, it seems like these things get updated pretty quickly, now that the devs have had lots of practice. :very_drunk:

Any idea if Bill is working on the 3.2 fix, or did I miss that it's already been resolved?

[b52bob]

PM me with your email and I'll check my list program, Bob. Usually when you don't get any emails, it's because they're being hung up in a spam filter somewhere. The problem is especially bad with yahoo.com addresses, for some reason, but it happens with others occasionally.

[Cees Donker]

What nice surprise to come across this one! Very attractive and challenging! Time for some exploring! Was not aware that I had to change the mesh to 5m at first........

An update of vivaP3D.dll has been issued, compatible with P3D 3.3, and can be downloaded from http://iblueyonder.com/viva/

It also works fine with the latest hotfix 3.3.5.
