NEWS! - Scenery Released : TIST - St Thomas, US Virgin Islands by FeelThere FeelThere have released their second scenery for the X-Plane Simulator, and this time it is in the Caribbean. The US Virgin Islands to be exact. Saint Thomas or Danish: Sankt Thomas is one of the Virgin Islands in the Caribbean Sea which, together with Saint John, Water Island, Hassel Island, and Saint Croix, form a county-equivalent and constituent district of the United States Virgin Islands (USVI), an unincorporated territory of the United States. The Cyril E. King Airport (TIST) is located west of the central business district on the island of St. Thomas. The airport was originally known as Bourne Field and was an airfield for the U.S. military. The Virgin Islands took ownership of the airport after World War Two. The original terminal was first built in the 1940s and called the Harry S. Truman Airport. In 1984, the airport was renamed after the second elected governor of the U.S. Virgin Island - Cyril E. King The airport operates one main runway, 7,000 ft × 150 ft (2,134 m × 46 m) long. Featuring two departure areas and 11 gates, the airport is fairly easy to navigate and services major international airlines, including American, Delta, JetBlue, Spirit, and United. Features High detail models Detailed satellite imagery surrounding covering the island Beautiful and highly detailed textures with reflections and night lighting 3D grass and environment Custom ground lines, buildings This FlightSim Developer is now releasing scenery for the X-Plane Simulator, but are more well known for their FS E135 and E145 E-Jets for P3D, will they develop aircraft for X-Plane? Well nothing says nothing, but tipping your toes in the water with scenery is a great way to start, but scenery is one thing... aircraft are actually something else again. But then it is good to see FS developers releasing X-Plane product. Images are courtesy of FeelThere ___________________________ Yes!

NEWS! - Scenery Release : KLGA – La Guardia International Airport 2023 by FeelThere La Gardia airport, New York is one of the most iconic airports in the world, it is also the most dangerous with it's complex approaches and short runways. But overall it was really an old airport, a 1940's 50s design in a modern world (it was originally opened in October 15, 1939), as the issues of totally outdated facilities required a change on a massive scale. So the New York Port Authority finally decided to do a full redesign of La Gardia for the 2020's, and that meant removing almost everything of the old terminals and rebuilding a completely new modern facility, which is mostly to be finished in 2023, and finally in 2025. So here is a new release of the coming La Gardia 2020 vision for the X-Plane Simulator, but not the first scenery of the conversion as AirportTech released a La Gardia 2020 way back in 2016. It was at the time very good but a bit soul-less as well, and after the iconic master of the original La Gardia, I don't think it gave out any feel of the new world. This new version of LGA, has also an odd birth from newcomers FeelThere. The original release video actually had the stock X-Plane Global Airport active instead of the custom scenery... a real "what the" moment, then the X-Plane.OrgStore had no preview images either? all very unprofessional for a pro custom product. Now everything has been fixed, but plus also the scenery comes with now an almost embarrassing low price of US$9.95, or is that a misprint on the original US19.95? Anyway you do get a great scenery for a low, low price... Features High detail models Detailed satellite imagery surrounding the airport Auto gate animated jetways (free SAM plugin required) Highly detailed textures with reflections and night lighting 3D grass 4K asphalt and concrete ground textures that cover the entire airport Another point is that currently the Feelthere LGA is Windows only at this time, and is not compatible with Mac or Linux platforms, which is because the scenery uses an .exe installer to install the scenery. A quick view of the FeelThere LGA, is that it is very good, certainly for the low price... Images are courtesy of FeelThere ___________________________ Yes!
