I'm back after a long, yet busy break from development! I have decided to continue working on Project YVR, to bring it up to the standard I initially wanted for the airport. As a result, I'll be making a few changes to my development cycle:
Development progress updates will release here monthly, at the start of each month, to provide an idea of what the next update will include.
As the airport is in an early access states, updates will now be monthly, and will release around the 15th of each month. This means updates may not be fully complete, but will be released and potentially patched a few days later.
This month's update was v0.72, and is a representation on the direction Project YVR will be heading in. Now that the basics are in place, a lot of effort will be spent cleaning up and immproving existing modifications.
This update brought fencing around the entire perimeter of the airport.
The roads also got new, cleaner textures. This will be added to the entire airport island in the future, however, the current focus is getting all road textures and markings airside completed.
New markings were also seen throughout the airport, that match markings that are currently on taxiways. Another big focus this month is adding missing markings to the airport, with the majority being on the ramp.
As for next month's update (v0.75), here are some of the changes you can expect to see:
More ground clutter, fencing, and parked cars will be scattered across the airport. The placement of all fencing and clutter is generally very accurate to the real-life airport, so the process of bringing the rest of the airport up to the same standard as the northern part of the airport will take a while, and there's still a lot to do on this side of the airport.
The departures side of the airport has also recieved a few modelling updates:
Please note these screenshots are from early in the development cycle of the new update, so much more will be added before release (which is expected to be a month from now).
Please provide any feedback on the Discord server! You can also suggest new features for the update, or include bugs (which will be patched before this version change).
For those using the mega pack version, please note the next update to your package will be in May, as this will include much more significant improvements than the previous updates.
Thank you everyone for reading, and I look forward to providing an update in a few weeks time!
