Orcas Island by Georender |
|
The New World Series features 'rural
airports' that are in some way or other linked to not only the technology
(and noise) of flying,
but also the
peace of nature. Places where one can hang over the fence on a Sunday afternoon
in summer and watch the planes come and go... and dream about flying one
day oneself. But also places where one can hear the birds sing in the nearby
forest on a quiet Sunday morning. Places where one can meet friends and aviation
enthusiasts, people who fly because they love to fly.... or even just to
be around. Watch this space.. the first title, designed and created by none
less
than
the
'nature master' himself, Richard Goldstein, has already
appeared in
February ! |
Our
first title in the series is called Orcas Island by Georender.
As you may well know Georender is Richard's 'design
name' and has become a hallmark for unparalleled quality in scenery
design. He
is responsible
for a series of Georender sceneries which are published by LAGO.
Richard is now working with FSAddon to build a new series of airports
in Washington
(and possibly elsewhere !).
Orcas Island lies off the northern coast of Washington state, and is quite
a tourist attraction at times. People come here not only to watch the orcas,
but also indulge in boating, flightseeing (there are quite a few floatplane
operators around), horse riding and even treasure hunting.
To give you an idea of what the scenery looks like, we have collected a
fair number of screenshots for you to browse.
You can purchase Orcas Island by Georender from
simMarket, as a 52 mb download
or have it delivered to you on a CD.

This first title was great fun to help create and from reactions on forums
and emails we already know that you will enjoy it as much as we do
!
Now, whilst you get to find your way around, finding the Orcas to photograph
them, we are embarking on the next title !!! Stay tuned !!
