Stephen Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 News! - Coming Soon! : KORD Chicago O'Hare v2 by Nimbus Simulation Studios Lately there has been a lot of noise coming from Nimbus Simulation Studios, which can only mean is that a release is imminent. The scenery in question is Nimbus's KORD - Chicago O'Hare in it's v2 form... First release of KORD Chicago O'Hare under the Butnaru banner was back in 2013. But I wasn't really fussed with it as the ground textures were quite average and it was highly under developed on and around the outer perimeter.. the scenery was okay for it's time but not really up the quality that payware requires. Version 1.0.2 (Now called Nimbus Simulation Studios) was a huge advance on the original scenery, a Preview is here: Scenery Update Preview : KORD Chicago O'Hara Intl (version 1.0.2) by Nimbus Simulation Studios And the updated v 1.0.2 scenery included some excellent winter textures (if these winter textures are still included in v2, I don't yet know), but again the centre terminal area was excellent, but the outer perimeter was still quite sparse. So here are some preview images of the coming KORD v2. One of the interesting developments lately surrounding payware is the better quality clutter, obviously MIsterX or ShortFinal Design has made developers seriously lift their game in this area, but that is of course not a bad thing. So Nimbus have now showed off their far more quality ground service vehicles ... So thank you very much we will take that one... they do look great though. Images of the better quality is now clearly evident in the more updated terminal detailing. Again there is to be seen a huge step forward in quality and clutter for this X-Plane11 version. Nimbus have noted there will be both a static aircraft and WT3 (WorldTraffic3) version of KORD. Butnaru/Nimbus also pioneered the see through terminal glass and walking ground staff. See through terminal glass is a bit of a strange effect in X-Plane... in theory it should be brilliant, but in most cases it never comes across that way and high quality textures can usually do a more realistic job, more so at night. But here Nimbus has their animated walking people "Inside" the terminal and not just externally around the ramps... it does look excellent, but they all seem to be walking along and then all quickly turn around as to note that their gate is the completely other way in the terminal... my be that is realistic! There is a video to show them in action.... Note the excellent bay information screen, now we are getting down to business. Release of KORD Chicago O'Hare v2 by Nimbus Simulation Studios is coming very soon to the X-Plane.OrgStore Images and video are courtesy of Nimbus Simulation Studios ________________________________________ News by Stephen Dutton 22nd August 2018 Copyright©2018: X-Plane Reviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
