The quest for a (virtual) paradise

Falling leaves !

Something new at Orbx (dammit). I was just writting something bad about Orbx (top of right column) and hop, John Venema leaks one of his new secret. After TextureFlow, the tiny people, Bob the pedestrian, here are falling leaves from trees. Okay, i will calm down, its still a work-in-progress but John seriously intends to put these new generation trees in the next general aviation airport of NA Blue Pacific Northwest.

According to John Venema, the purpose is not to invade the flight sim world with these trees but just to enhance charming local places. John wants to recreate some paradise on (virtual) earth, a virtual paradise for us, simmers. One limitation though, like PeopleFlow, this new feature requires a specific development each time and will raise a bit more the final price of your scenery. The trees are based on complex geometries. That's the only thing we have the right to know for the moment.
