Thanks Loru. I've been watching the development of this one and I'm looking forward to my first flight into it.
 
Looking nice Loru, grats. I'm liking the overall layout and look of the place.

Seems Orbinauts love an island base!... Delusions of James Bond villains perhaps?

I guess we need a WIN-OVERTON-JARVIS ORL race now!
 
Can I recommend renaming the zip file? JSC is also the official short form of the "Lyndon B Johnson Space Center" - the place of the NASA astronaut training and mission control. I am sure, more people will associate JSC with this.
 
Excellent!! Thanks for your hard work on this! :cheers:
 
Cool. I love islands! Nice job, Jarvis is quite unique in style, it's not just a Wideawake rip-off. :thumbup:

Nice out-at-sea launch-pads. Why did you get rid of the aircraft carrier?! That was really fun.

The runway lights look a bit funny in the water, other than that, this is brill.

(Why do we have to beware of Woo482?!)
 
I believe the only reason the hornet mesh was removed because it isn't Loru's, it's from [ame="http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=1474"]this[/ame] addon though so you should be able to add it again by just sticking
Code:
MESH
	FILE K-USS-Hornet
	OWNMATERIAL
        SCALE 1 1 1
	POS -1350 36 -2200
        ROT 0
	SHADOW
END
somewhere in the base's configuration file :thumbup:
 
... Why did you get rid of the aircraft carrier?! That was really fun...

Because it was mesh from another [ame="http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=1474"]add-on[/ame]. As soon as I make my own aircraft carrier mesh it will be included in Jarvis.

Also there are still config lines lines in jarvis.cfg for the Hornet so if you have this add-on installed all you need to do is to remove semicolons from those lines.

Woo482 is right. I did make the US Hornet a UCGO aricraft carrier at one point but because of the limits in UCGO I kept getting the annoying 'this mesh is not optimised' message.
 
I worked for an hour doing touch-and-go's with the stock scenario, and of course I had to buzz the tower and launch platforms a couple of times. Wish I'd thought to take pictures. Phantom Mfg's moving their Pacific operations in as soon as we can set up a lease.

I wonder if there is going to be a new pile of crashed XR's just off the island???

... Good for the environment and all that (tourism also for the divers...).

I need to think about it. Jarvis Island was national wildlife refugee. Currently all the wildlife is in the freezer.
