Progress...

Lots of progress the last weeks. Placing autogen is the biggest workload by far but it's coming along nicely. The issue now is how much detail to add. The frame rate is starting slowly to drop with every day of work, so I need to find a balance.

It will be impossible to add 100% autogen without major delays, so the plan forward is to place the remanding autogen only where I feel it is needed. The biggest focus is the approach to LPPT from the north and south where the major work will be done to guarantee a very realistic feeling. Something I think I have succeeded with.

Also been working on the night maps and adjusting these to fit Aerosoft's LPPT scenery and it's night map.

Also finished "Aerodromo de Tojeira". I have never been here and there are few photos around, but I feel I have captured the feel of the place.

Here's a few photos of the progress so far. Feel free to leave a comment.

New Lisbon scenery for FSX


Currently in development, the complete city of Lisbon for the Flight Simulator X series.

Features for the scenery are:

  • Hybrid photo scenery (a mix of photoscenery and landclass) daytime + night textures
  • Custom objects
  • Hand placed autogen. Not automatic generated, so all autogen are in the correct place
  • Hundreds of hand placed default FSX objects
  • Adjusted position of default objects to fit the photoscenery exactly
  • Blend textures to blend in with the default FSX scenery
  • Enhanced scenery for Cascais aerodrome
  • More to be announced later
The scenery is to be expected released end of 2014 or early 2015 depending on time available. Latin Enhance is a one man team so things obviously take time. Already I've worked approx 300 hours on this project alone. 

Status of the project is as follow:
  • Photoscenery - 80% complete
  • Autogen - 60% complete
  • Other (traffic/excludes/custom objects etc) - 60% complete
