The Scenery Solutions team continues to focus its efforts on the upcoming Ultimate Alaska product. We are about 90% of the way thru the process of digitizing and cleaning up the Alaskan Road and Water data. This is a very large (and tedious) step. I can't wait to start working on the little details for Alaska. I really feel this is going to be a beautiful product. And, it will demonstrate the new technology that we are working on for the cities, towns and smaller outposts.
Another week or so and we should have our initial compile of the Alaskan roads and water ready. Holger is on vacation in Europe until August. So, we will have to wait another month or so for him to add his special touches to the product, especially the glaciers.
I have no idea when Ultimate Alaska will be released. But, I am hoping for Sept/Oct if things continue to go well.
Outside of Alaska, there is another small project that we are working on. This consists of a patch for UTX Europe. The patch will not provide all the requested enhancements that we recieved. Instead, it will focus on 2 of the more important issues right now, which is improving some of the landclass textures used and supplying the missing Greek Islands near the coast of Turkey. On a related note, we will soon be releasing a special version of the UTX Europe landclass textures that have been fine-tuned to work precisely with the upcoming GEX Europe product.
Thats all for this week.....

Sounds great. I have GEX and will be getting GEX Europe when it comes out for sure. I think it is great that you and GEX are working together so closely to get these products as well done and intergrated together as possible. It sems that many, if not most, of the GEX users also use UTX. There is also a lot of information in the GEX and UTX forums about how to make these products work well with each other and with our computer systems. Thanks for that and I look forward to the new stuff you have coming out.
ReplyDeleteI'm really happy to hear about the progress of UTX Alaska as I've been waiting for this one since FSX came out. I have UTX USA and Canada as well as GEX, but Alaska has always been my main flying grounds so I'm pretty excited to hear that UTX AK is still coming out. Thanks for the update.
ReplyDeleteKBR. Alaska should be something special and hopefully worth the wait ;)
