/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

/images/notams/notams21/vert0105/tampa-1.jpgTampa International updated to v2.1, completely revamping the terminalswith new HD textures (getting them prepped for MSFS 2020). Not only theabove, but all textures were finally converted to .dds files forbetter VRAM performance. This will probably be the last update for KTPA for awhile. /images/notams/notams21/vert0105/tampa-2.jpg /images/notams/notams21/vert0105/tampa-3.jpgSource Verticalsim Updates Tampa International For X-Plane 11 Verticalsim Releases Clearwater Air Park For MSFS

/images/notams/notams20/vert0226.jpgTampa (KTPA)'s price has been finally set at $24.99. I know thismay seem high than usual. But, please realize this project has taken me over two years todevelop as this scenery is my most advanced and most expensive todevelop; and will see the a lot of features listed below: SAM plugin (for jetways)Super high res (0.5ft) orthoimagery covering up till the airport boundaries (highest commercial grade imagery you can get on the market)Custom hand-built mesh (with Ortho4XP patch), and compatibility with ORBX TrueEarth Florida (VStates users already have this built in and will need to not install mesh)High res models of many of the areas landmarks (such as downtown, Rocky Point, International Plaza, etc.)Ground-traffic (all the monorails on economy garage and terminal sides), car traffic, airport ground traffic, ramp workers, etc.PBR implementation where possibleRealistic night lighting matching real life imagery taken at the airportSupport/free updates as the real airport receives themWorld Traffic 3/Traffic Global compatibility with included taxi routesAlthough I can't give an exact release date, be reassured TPA is infull speed and very few things are left to do.
