Mouseviator Private Island scenery for FSX and Prepar3D

30.10.2020 – Have first version for Microsoft Flight Simulator, see here.

Introduction

Hi,

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a private island with small airport? Well, if you are something like me (and probably most of people), you can turn this in reality if you happen to continue working like another 2000 years. But luckily, we have a virtual world within our favorite flight simulators, where the costs of work, building materials and last, but not least, the island itself, are kind of insignificant.

So here I come with my freeware scenery project – the Mouseviator Private Island scenery. As name suggests, it is a scenery of small private island I made for myself (and for others to visit) for FSX and Prepar3D. If you are interested, pay a visit to this festival of wasted money (as I would call the island if I would be building it in real life ;)).

Island background

Did you read an introduction? Good. Ok, lets put in some facts about the island. I chose an existing island to build Mouseviator Private Island on. In reality, the island is called Eliza Island and is located 8 miles south of Bellingham, Washington. The area of the island is about 10 acres of land. It is stone throw distance from Orcas Island, Friday Harbor, Whidbey Island and other nice places to visit. There is a private airport in reality with ICAO identifier: WA93. Of course, as I turned the island into Mouseviator Private Island, I upgraded the airport to the “rich man” likings.

License

Well, it is always hard to specify everything without killing at least four trees to write 400 pages license agreement that nobody reads. Lets try to put it the simple way.

You cannot

Use this scenery in commercial project, sell it or distribute it for money. Simply saying, you cannot make money on this in any way.

You can

This scenery is a hobby project I used to learn something about scenery development. I don’t care if you will copy the scenery to your friends or even modify it to make it “your” private island. You can do these things with respect to the third party resources used. And when you modify the scenery, or make it available at your website, please keep the credits somewhere. Like in the README document, so the people knows who contributed to this project and how.
