France, what is the repaint you have for the MH-53s and can you post a link to it? Thanks

Those look awesome, is it possible to get a copy of them? Would you also happen to have HM-12?

[Joecoastie]

. . . . . Are you able to publish the photo-scenery in the package? John

. . . . . Are you going to post any of your Norfolk updates?

Once I make it respectable, I will share it.

Haven't got HM-12 Sea Dragon repaint because this squadron was disband, HM-14 provide to training.

[navychief88]

HM-12 was re-established in 2015 as the Fleet Replacement Squadron, They share the same ramp with HM-14.

Joe, I was just querying the publication of the photo-scenery from a copyright point of view. Imagery from Google Earth is usually owned by a third party and it's advisable to check whether a license to publish, even for freeware use is required. I know some companies charge for this, but after a bit of investigation, I think in this case you are probably OK.

The imagery for Norfolk appears to be owned by Terrametrics Inc (zoom out of the image to see the copyright), but Google obviously have a license to publish it. Looking at the Terrametrics website, they have this very helpful statement:

"We are happy to provide permission to use our imagery as it appears in Google Earth or Google Maps. Here is our standard permission release for your use:

To the extent that it is TerraMetrics' TruEarth 15-meter imagery displayed in a Google Earth or Google Maps screen capture, TerraMetrics hereby grants you permission for use of our imagery. Because Google Earth and Google Maps screen captures may contain imagery and other data from other providers including Google, we cannot and do not extend any further permissions regarding the use of Google Earth's or Google Maps' portrayal of our imagery or Google's or other parties' work, in general. We appreciate your display of our standard credit line and link: "Copyright 2013 TerraMetrics, Inc. http://www.terrametrics.com"

I'm not sure how you find out who else has any claim to copyright, if anyone, so I think you just need to provide the acknowledgement requested in your readme/manual.

+1 for the -53 repaints please.

[Joecoastie]

Thanks, John. I've been in touch with a few others on the copyright question and it seems what you have found out is pretty much how it is. If one is going to use from Google see who owns it first and check their standing on use.
(the contractors are putting up the NavSta buildings and piers.)

+1 for the -53 repaints please.

am in progress of painting 9 of HM-14's birds . . . . to be uploaded

[Joecoastie]

What Happened ? Can one of the mods delete most of these ?

Thanks, Steve.

[Firebird]

Done as requested.

Quick question. What landclass did you use? The grass Im using for the Langley im making turns brown in the fall, while yours stays green.

[clickclickdoh]

That main background poly for the Norfolk scenery is done using Assembled 1183 Grass. It does change with the seasons.

[COA732]

Ok. Thanks

[Woogey]

Will there be an FSX/P3d version of this highly anticipated scenery made availabe?
