• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

This video shows a helicopter pilot taking a training flight from USCG Station Kodiak. It is done in P3d v3.3. Enjoy!!

View Video HERE.

Changed the video, smaller size but better quality. YouTube did some quality upgrade and made it very jerky.

Self made using SBuilderX. It is photo real with very high resolution. That makes it impossible to upload as to the size. The objects are a collection built over the years. :adoration:

Excellent work on the scenery Tom. I started to do the same scenery, but backed off until I could find enough reference for the buildings. Never went back to it. Nicely done.
 
Thanks Ed, I am still working on it. Still considerable clutter to apply (boxes, logs, etc) and vegetation seems like an endless process but making good progress. Since the size with the photo real scenery is just over 1.5 GB it won't be uploaded. My purpose for showing the video is to get folks interested in producing their own scenery. This was done with SBuilderX and Airport Design Editor. One can do wonders with AI aircraft and boats. I have a land able Coast Guard Frigate sailing around the bay. I used AI Boat Planner for that. AI aircraft can be installed using AI Flight Planner or any other program that does the same thing. Instant Scenery is my main program for installing everything onto the photo real background. I used Aster Dem to make the Kodiak Island Mesh. It is just fun and anyone can do it. I got my start with Roger-Wilco-66 some years ago. It is just another part of our great hobby.

Here is an up graded video with more work done on the base and surrounding area.
