[SCENERY] Guam to SoCal

Post by **Neocon** » Sun May 18, 2014 4:05 am

This map is a scaled map of the Pacific Ocean. It was inspired by Hawaii to SoCal. This map includes a combination of several maps scaled down. It takes under two hours at 350kts to get from Guam to Honolulu. This map includes Mariana Islands - South, Hawaii[PMNV]-2014, Southern California, Kamchatka Peninsula, Kodiak Island, and PROJECT ROWE. At least one primary airport in each region has a long-range "VOR" to help guide you around this large map. It should be noted that each region is kept at "full scale" and distances between regions are not intended to be realistic. This map was made only to simulate taking off from one region and landing in another, not the actual distances of real-world flying. I have included maps of each major region to help with navigation.

A bunch of us were flying around it on my server for at least 3 hours, and we still haven't seen half of the map yet! We went from KLAX to KSEA, then to PADQ, then finally to PACD. So far, it's looking good; you did a good job.

Yeah, Next, PACD to Kodiak Island then Kamchtaya (I dont know correct spelling) peninsula then to Guam, then Hawaii to LAX then back home to Seattle

What time are you guys planning on flying on Hazard's server?

I'm glad you guys liked it.

How did the map run on the server? How much lag was there? I honestly didn't know if it would work on a server at all because of its size.

Well, for me it ran at a consistent 10fps, with occasional drops to 7 or worse 2. But that is because my computer is crappy. But it went quite well, with the executable crashes due to aircraft errors, not the map.

It's amazingly large. I thought we covered a lot of ground yesterday but it turns out we only covered the top half...

The map runned fine for me. although there was a small fps drop compared to usual, but still plenty playable and enjoyable.

Great job Patrick, awesome map

Something like 15-40 FPS, Nice and smooth, execpt when NightRaven loaded his damn MiG-21 which caused me to a CTD

And there are even two more that could be added to this map. Johnston and French-Frigate.
If you need my permission for French-Frigate, feel free, I dont mind in the least. But with
Johnston, IDK I don't even recall who did that one, but it is pretty good.

I just made an update to Guam to SoCal. There are now stock fuel trucks at most major airports all over the map. I also added St. George Airport in Alaska (I didn't know it was missing until tonight!) and French Frigate Shoals Airport. I made FFS Airport with elevation grids and it is not exactly located to any scale. I also made some fixes to St. Paul and Dutch Harbor airports because of hidden markings on runways because of mis-ordered polygons.

The reason for the fuel trucks is that VAS prefers to run without my ground objects to save frame rates, which seems to work well. By having stock fuel trucks parked next to my own fueling stations, you'll be able to find some gas even without my ground objects.

EDIT: FFS Airport is my own version. I forgot that you had offered to let me use yours.

Is NZ Going to arrive sometime over the Holidays?

Post by **Neocon** » Fri Dec 05, 2014 4:43 pm

Maybe, but probably not the holidays of this year.

I just updated Guam to SoCal with the new version of Hawaii. Guam to SoCal now includes the newly added air strips on Hawai'i, the Sand Island Raceway, Ford Island upgrades, upgraded terminal at PHNL, piers and water runway improvements, and a new setup for PHNL with taxi center lines and signs directing pilots to take off from runway 8L/26R and land on 8R/26L.

I am confused, the download link leads to a bit site with downloads for many map packs, which pack should I download to get the Guam to SoCal map?

Scroll down till you see Gaum to SoCal and click on it.
