Dear Reinier:

First of all I would like to thank you for this nice new Palma scenery. It really looks great, but there are some things missing. As you probably know there are many works going on at Palma for the time been, so I am just wondering what will happen once they are completed, will you make updates on the scenery?

Here I copy some of your screenshots and put on them a red marking telling you wich differencies we find nowdays: I am just realising it is impossible to paste pictures in this topic, but anyway I will tell you were the errors are:

1 - In your daylight picture nº6 we have an image of terminal building C from behind, were we can see all the remote boarding gates, these have been build bigger with a new black glass just like the one you have done behind terminal D (from stands 90 to 98)

2 - In your daylight picture nº16, next to rwy 24R theshold there is an abandoned MD-87 that the firebrigade use to train themselves. At the same time next to the big parking building, on the left side we see the employes parking wich is covered with some "roof" and next to it to the right we just can see some trees, these trees are no longer there, a couple of years ago they expanded the employes parking making it bigger, but this new phase has no "roof" as the old one to protect the cars from the sun.

In your previus Mallorca version Son Bonet airport was also included, will it also be in this verion?

Thanks Kiko. I'll forward these info to the designer. Maybe s.th. will be changed.
As far as I know Son Bonet will be included.

Ciao,

Thanks for the information Rainer. I am just looking forward to have this nice scenery! Can you only confirm what will happen with all the works that are taking place at Palma airport once they are finished, will there be an update? As well as do you know if there is any possibility to make a new Barcelona airport scenery too?

If you spend a look at the simwings forum, you can see, that a new Barcelona airport is in progress

Hi to all.

To answer some of your questions a few words from the developer:

- We know that a heavy reconstruction at the airport is going on. But it will last at minimo 1 year until it is finished.
So we decided to built the airport as it was when we have made our "design closure" related to the aerial pictures. So Terminal B is dismanteld but other minor changes that happened and will happen are ignored unil they are completely finished in real. Than we´l sure make a patch to incorporate all changes. Please understand that we cannot reflect all changes at the airport "in real time"

- Son Bonet will be part of the scenery, but it will not be "at the highest level of detail". We have to keep up the performance of the main airport. And Son Bonet is too close.

MallorcaX is mainly a scenery of the international airport "LEPA" San Juan. Everything else is rebuilt to reflect a superb surrounding when approaching to that airport. It´s not (mainly) our goal to make a Mallorca VFR scenery.
This would lead to an exploding selling price. Remember that you allready get TWO sim versions (FS9 and FSX9) for one price!
Anyway: The aerial pictures will cover THE ENTIRE ISLAND. And vegetation autogen is placed at the entire island. Autogen buildings are placed at about two third of the island around the LEPA airport. The resolution in FS9 will be 4,7m/pixel and in FSX it will be up to 0,6m/pixel ! So for sure you can use it for VFR flights, but don´t expect every church in 3D :-)

All other Balearic Islands, like Ibiza and Menorca will follow. In the same way like MallorcaX with aerial pictures covering all Islands. And YES. We´ll make them for FSX and FS9.

A totally new Barcelona is "work in progress" and can be expected this summer.

You REALLY made my day! Great to hear this!

[flyingsub]

Espana por favor. Any plans to do Alicante LEAL and Valencia LEVC?

OH YES!!!! you must do valencia and alicante!!! two airports serving the costa blanca, a major, maybe a product like "Costa Blanca X"?? I would pay mucho dollars for that! lol

[hijoyo]

a las palms de gran canaria would be great too, but i doubt that will happen

[hijoyo]

cant WAIT for palma btw

[DogStar]

And YES. We´ll make them for FSX and FS9.

Just great !

There are at least two Las Palmas sceneries:
1) http://www.sim-giants.com/ (this one is free for FSX, but only GCLP)
2) http://www.fly-wonderful-islands.com/

There's no sense to do any third.

[Rainer Duda]

BTW, here are some FSX-screens:

"Old" AI-traffic from FS9, so I had to deactivate the shadows of course.

































I hope, you get some holiday feelings.

And what I have to add:
I'm honestly not a fan of FSX and in the past I never had a scenery where I definitly could really compare the reached frames between FS9 and FSX.
They were absolutely different (and lot worse in FSX...) But that's not true any more.... this addon is the first one for me.

Frames (and I haven't switched off or reduced many options, for example bloom is activated) greater or equal 20, mostly 30.
BTW: Bloom costs me about 10 frames per second.

Ciao,
Rainer.

Rainer, that is some sweet artwork you've made and the team, please spill the release date (If known) can't wait to get my hands on this beauty.
