/images/notams/notams22/vsim0725.jpgWell established designers often have previously created assets that can be used to speed up development of new projects. But as quality standards and expectation change these older assets need to be more detailed and retextured. In their latest Facebook post Verticalsim posts an example and in a slightly earlier post asks for opinions on what their next project should be.

/images/notams/notams22/vrt0425.jpgTampa International (KTPA) is now in Work In Progress status forMicrosoft Flightsim. As a Tampa native, I'm excited to bring my arguably said "best"work over to this platform (Currently planning drives to the airportto conduct surveys). I will be sharing several preview "blog" styleupdates along the way, as this is a big project & currentinfrastructure changes will make this a bit difficult. During this time, KOMA will be brought to the MSRS platform aswell; and will probably release before Tampa (more on that at a laterpoint). KTPA will feature: Main Downtown Tampa buildings (Truist, Regions, PNC, Sykes, etc.)Several surrounding landmarks (Tropicana Field, Raymond James, Rocky Point, International Plaza Mall, etc.)Terminal interiorsAll airport buildings modeled2022 Airport LayoutAnimated monorails, SkyConnectAirport mesh featuring the 3 taxiway bridgesHDR LightingCustom JetwaysSource Verticalsim Releases KMYR Myrtle Beach MSFS
