This new lighting Brad and I have been working on has taken a lot of time and effort, but we are sure you will love the results. You'll have some options as to whether or not you want to use the lighting options. We wanted to keep it "realistic" yet give you more ways to use Misty's Place. Night and dusk/dawn flights are possible, land and water now. Also, in BAD weather, the approach lighting will "punch through" to guide you safely to the runway. We are using Steve's special lights for these effects.
When the new Misty's Place is released, you'll have a whole different "feel" for it. It is basically the same, having the same elements, but it is more spread out...giving you more room on the ramps. Also theo "photoreal" runway/ramp area is much better than what we had before.
The "pull out" (used by many landing float, but climbing up onto the land) has been smoothed so there is no large "hump" to get over. The new runway has a circular turn-around on each end.
And probably the most amazing difference is that Misty's Place now uses Rod Jackson's Season Switcher so you have different things to see in the different seasons.
This will be going out beta to the team shortly, so stay tuned.
