Susu986 Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 I know where my next 100 Dollar Hamburgr will come from :) Thank you! 30 Cafe actually sells very yummy burgers (their actual menu http://www.3zerocafe.com/lunch.html), I think the B-29 Burger sounds fantastic :) And this one here is Pillar Ridge, a trailer-park like neighborhood adjacent to the airport. It's not exactly a trailer park, because they use actual houses - 223 of them, hand placed :) At night, I'm using custom street lights with a larger cone, which lights up the streets and buildings in a more realistic fashion, I believe (comments are welcome of course) :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Have your own hangar! https://www.facebook.com/RisingDawnStudiosSoftware/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susu986 Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 It has been a while since I've posted a new image - that is because I'm busy on the approach area to runway 30 - there lies the commercial community of Princeton. Princeton has a lot of open air used car and boat dealerships, so I've took my time to hand place tons-tons of cars and boats to simulate these. I've also populated powerlines in as well, which are clearly visible on a low approach. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Have your own hangar! https://www.facebook.com/RisingDawnStudiosSoftware/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susu986 Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 I've populated the bay with over 300 static and a couple of animated boats slowly cruising around the bay - the ones out on the open water only show up during daylight hours, while the ones anchored at the berths are there all day and night. I wanted to capture that 'forest of masts' feeling, what you can see in real jettys and marinas.

Susu986 Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 Working on some miscellaneous objects - actually those radio towers (there's two of them) are quite tall and prominent, but for some reason I didn't model them the same time as the other in-airport structures. That's why a made a list of things that I wanted to include, so that everything gets in from what I've originally planned. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Have your own hangar! https://www.facebook.com/RisingDawnStudiosSoftware/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susu986 Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 I've started working on static aircraft. :) For those, who fly online, or use traffic addons, you will be able to turn these off in a simple way, without messing in WED. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Have your own hangar! https://www.facebook.com/RisingDawnStudiosSoftware/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susu986 Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Guys, it is out! I was waiting for some initial customer feedback, which turned out to be good! I've copied the 'official' announcement from the 'News' section here: Dear Simmers! After long months of work, I would like to announce that KHAF Half Moon Bay airport is finally available in the stores! Half Moon Bay is an ex-Air Force airfield in California, close to San Franciso and Silicon Valley, converted for general aviation use decades ago. Since this airport is my home base since a decade now, I wanted to convey the same feeling to the users. So the scenery features a fully customizable hangar for the user's aircraft, and it is a nice and welcoming place to come home after a long trip. Customization options include painting, putting a poster on the wall (including your own images), changing the light fixtures, and cleaning up (or leaving it dirty). The airport was the default starting locating in Flight Unlimited II, and if you were a fan of it, you might find some subtle cues referring to back to that sim in this scenery package, and the manual, too. Other features include: Photo scenery coverage of the airport and nearby areas with 0.3-0.6 cm's per pixel Animated 3D trees which sway according to wind strength Ultra detailed pavement and runway markings, with reflections Baked in ambient-occlusion effects Realistic grass, with customizable density Animated powerlines A special night mode on the terminal building with shutters, an animated neon sign, etc. I could also mention 4K textures, but that is a misnomer, and doesn't actually mean much, so I let the screenshots speak instead. :) The scenery also covers the following nearby neighborhoods: The industrial-commercial area of Princeton, with open-air car and boat dealerships Pillar Ridge (a manufactured home community adjacent to the airport) The magnificent Pacifico Hotel and its surrounding sister-buildings Point Pillar Air Force Station (a remote telemetry site of Vandenberg Air Force Base, tasked to track and to monitor ballistic missiles - overflying is prohibited) Pillar Point Harbor, with a plethora of ships and boats (some of them animated) If you are interested, you can read the manual here, I've tried to make it look like a 1980's Popular Mechanics magazine, and it details all aspects of the airport, including customization options: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0f8eZpBReODM2dPUlA4UDBsbms/view You can find me with questions here at the forums, or at Rising Dawn Studios' Facebook page. I wish many happy hours of flying! Also, I think I haven't put enough emphasis on this in the manual: if you happen to see some half-floating objects around the radar station or Princeton, please use the files from the 'HD_mesh_compatibility' folder, that should fix the issue.

Susu986 Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 Thanks very much for mentioning this. Indeed, he did. My screenshots could never show the airport in such glory as his video did - he is really creative, and that video is as just as great as all his other work :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Have your own hangar! https://www.facebook.com/RisingDawnStudiosSoftware/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
