• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

This is wonderful.
May I ask. Are those house autogen or custom make by gmax?
 
Thanks for the feedback :).

A few of the houses are custom made, but the majority are FS default. However, the roof textures have been modified to give the scene a more colourful Caribbean feeling.
The trees are also custom-made to fit the ground textures. :cool:
 
WOW!! This will make Grenadines area much perfect.
I have allready FlyTampa Grenadines, that addon didn't include Main isle, so good to hear that you are doing this isle for FSX.
 
Is it planned as Freeware or Payware?

However, looks really awesome!

That is part of the idea: to enhance the area that users of FlyTampa Grenadines fly in. :)

Is it planned as Freeware or Payware? ...

I actually plan for it to be both, but I'm still working out the details on that.
 
I've finished hand placement of nearly 30,000 autogen buildings. Next step is to add a few object buildings to the mix.

Might I suggest that for any future promo video that some authentic Caribbean music might be better?

That God-awful noise in the pre-alpha video is really disturbing... :eek:
 
Indeed a nice video when you turn the sound off. But I am afraid steel pan music is not a real alternative either.:D
 
I will take the music suggestions into consideration.

Any other comments on things/improvements you would like to see in the product?
 
Latest update for those interested:
Autogen trees have been added for the entire island: approximately 40+ hi-res models and 150+ low-res models giving variation of over 200 trees categorized according to the geography of Grenada.

Also the wet and dry seasonal terrain has been finished:

Any comments, criticisms (positive and negative) and/or suggestions are welcome.
 
Negative critism?

You were just kidding, right? :D

This looks really awesome! ;)
 
2 more pics for ya'll. I've made minor changes and fixes to things all over the airport. But this is the biggest and most recent addition. The cafe behind the terminal.

I'm currently working on the back of the terminal, which is 90% complete.
Then its off to the ground polygons which I dread so much.
Making convincing ones are a nightmare for a Sketchup lover like me. Even being a very fast learner, I struggle with 3DSMax. I think I may need professional advice there.
 
Finished the tower. I know the long shadows are going to look odd at any other time than late afternoon, but they're the best photos I could get.
I kinda like the detail they add anyway. :cool: Let me know what you think.
