Hi Stanislaw,

since you already proved that you listen to your customer's wishes I feel encouraged to support this request for an enhancement regarding the helipads of Seattle in a future update.

After the initial release of Seattle City X I suggested to enhance the seaplane base W55 - and you did! (At least according to the changelog, I couldn't test it so far because the installer downloaded from my Simmarket-account still says v1.05 and is 4.7 GB large).


This stunning high quality scenery of Seattle also really calls for low level helicopter flying - some enhancements for helicopters would be very welcome.

This seems to be an overview of all the helipads of Seattle (I hope it is okay to post the link; it was not created by me, just found through Google):

https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid ... 83905&z=13


I checked all of these locations in the sim and some helipads are there, some are not.
But even where there is a helipad, they look quite ugly (compared to the overall quality of this scenery). Main reason is that on the helipad you see the surrounding buildings textures from very close what they obviously are not created for because their texture quality is fine looking from a distance but not looking from only a few meters away. Also there are no 3D-objects, just the ground mkarkings of the helipad.

So it would be very much appreciated if you include all of the active helipads and enhance them a little by adding some 3D-objects and improving the textures of the ground and of buildings in close vicinity to the helipads (maybe as an option, so that there is no performance hit for those not interested in helicopter flying). And it would surely be worth a little extra price for me.

Thanks!

Ralf

Stanislaw,

I purchased Seattle City and Airports from FS PilotShop, and as of this morning the updated files aren't being offered for sale there. I realize this out of your control, but do you know if they intend to put them up?

Thanks -

Jorgen

Water Elevation issues and wrong FAA code

Post by RALF9636 »

Thanks a lot for the enhanced seaplane bases!

I have some elevation issues around the seaplane bases though:

At W36 there is a step in the water right in front of the docks. Also there is a strip of elevated water in the Cedar River along KRNT, even running above the bridge.

At S60 the water itself and the docks are ok, but there are some steps in the water right at the shoreline behind the docks. Also it looks as though some of the aircraft parked on land are sunken into the ground a little.

W55 is fine.

This is with Seattle City X 1.1, Seattle Airports 1.1 and Orbx PNW. I have no other elevation issues (as have been mentioned here before); all my airports are fine. It's just the water. I tried the elevation fix files you shared here some pages before but they did not help with the water elevation.


Another point:
I used to have W55 = Kenmore Air Harbor in the sim's airports database.
Now there is also a S55 = Kenmore Air Harbor Seaplane Base. That must have been added by Seattle X.
As far as I know the correct FAA code is W55. S55 does not exist.

The best way is to contact Simmarket directly - from my experiance it's one of the best vendors and should reply as soon as possible.
