Amberley!

Posted on by

Hi folks!

I’ve been very busy in real life the last couple of years and waiting on Amberley to be updated, sadly this hasn’t happened, so I have decided to abandon the project all together.

From 2023 onwards, I have started learning the SDK and modelling for the new MSFS, anything released will be for that sim, of course you will still be able to download my past airport from here, I wouldn’t download any from other sites as they’re not approved to have the software, if you find dead links let me know and I will update them.

I do apologise if this is going to be hard to hear, I just feel in myself, this is the right choice to move forward, FS9/FSX/P3D development was fun, but I need to learn something new, and I believe the new sim is where I should go, if anyone needs me you can use the form below, I am also available to make custom models if you need one.

Anyhow, stay safe!

I would like to especially thank these people personally for there help over the years with my scenery.

Mark Griggs

For your continual support and help in all aspects of Flight Sim Design studio environment, without your help I couldn’t have created any scenery at all.

Anthony Lynch

I don’t think there is anyone as qualified as you when it comes to Scenery Design, you have created what only experts can do, and your knowledge slightly rubbed off on me.

Beta Testers

Scott Thames, 2017-2018

Jeff Shepley, 2016-2017

Without beta testers none of my scenery would have ever have been created!

Thank you all for your support

Amberley FSX / P3D

Posted on by

Just thought I would write an update on the Amberley Air force base and other news.

Amberley is now actively in production, as the models have now been completed or converted, the photo realistic ground textures sourced, I have now started the work involved in making this scenery the way it should have been done years ago.

Amberley will be my last project for Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Lockheed Martin’s P3D as I have now moved forward within the Microsoft Flight Simulator environment. I will still be tinkering with the above two sims and patching any faults emailed to me, but no more airports will be made for these sims as they’re rather old now.

Of course things may change later if I get enough people asking for other airports for those two sim, but for now I will be concentrating my efforts on.

  1. How to convert all of my scenery to MS2020
  2. Learning how to make new airports in MS2020

Going from Microsoft Flight Simulator 9 back in 2010 to Microsoft Flight Simulator 10 was pretty easy, same for P3D but it’s a much larger jump to MS2020 and I am now studying the SDK like a mad man to bring myself up to speed.

This pandemic has thrown a huge spanner in how I made airports in the past, now that we can travel again I’m sure I can produce something you would like in 2022, Amberley for sure!

Canberra I have always wanted to do! because I have also spent a great deal of time reproducing the model of the new terminal and all the new buildings around it (about 6 months roughly), maybe I can work with the Orbx Canberra and just change that into the new layout if allowed, it would save me a few months as that is the only good scenery out their that is close to what it is now apart from the actual terminal up ramps etc.

Anyhow this is it for now

Have a very Merry Christmas and fantastic New year

Regards

Lawrence
