Titolo: Nuovi prodotti LAGO: Emma Field & FSSound Scape

Eccovi le news!Due nuovi prodotti in sviluppo:
-----
LAGO is happy to announce two new products. Emma Field and
FSSoundScape. 
Emma Field is a simulation of a small airfield in Washington state USA
and it will feature a lot of things that have not been seen in FS
before. Items like weather related thermals, winch and tow launches
for gliders, dynamics that are fully integrated with time, season and
weather.
FSSoundScape is a spin off from Emma Field. It is the module that lets
you add sounds to scenery locations, fully interactive with weather,
time and season. Imagine flying to that small bush field, stopping the
engine and be greeted by the sound of birds. Or the sound of the
church bell that sounds every hour. A small module, but one that has a
huge impact on the realism of FS2002.
Ciaoooooo

Press Information for Immediate Release Friday, April 05, 2002
LAGO is proud to announce the release of Emma Field and FSSoundScape.
Regular as clockwork LAGO turns out new exciting products. At this
moment we are ready to announce “Emma Field” and “FSScoundScape”.
Emma Field
Emma Field is a very special and innovative product. It is a
SIMULATION of everything that goes on at a small airfield. Far more
than just scenery, it includes the activities, sights, and sounds of
daily life on the field. From the quiet winter days when only the
local FBO is doing its flying business, to the busy summer weekends
when the glider pilots drive up to the airport with their trailers.
Even the relaxed summer evenings when the barbeque at the Flying Club
is lit for the people who stay overnight. All events will be started
at the correct day and time and will depend on the weather (real time
weather is advised). That means that the airport will be very quiet on
a stormy fall Monday morning but in full swing on a sunny, warm August
Saturday.
To enhance the feeling of the actual ‘living’ field there will be many
sound effects that will be played depending on location, event and
time. You’ll hear the birds in the woods, the laughter of people
drinking beer at the barbeque, the sounds of Harry the maintenance man
working in the hangar, and much more. If you land on the nearby lake,
you’ll find a floatplane jetty maintained by Emma Field FBO at the
lake side), you’ll hear the waves and the frogs. During winter you may
hear the frogs snore in their winter sleep. We are working on adding
smell effects, but maybe not in this version yet…
The product will include unique opportunities for glider pilots. Not
only will it feature thermals that are wind and temperature depending,
it also includes a realistic winch launch option. You can even be
dragged into the air behind a powered aircraft! 
Those people aware of “who’s who” in Flight Simulator, will be happy
to learn that Richard ‘GeoRender’ Goldstein will be doing the base
scenery and that Oliver Pabst (well know for his spectacular dynamic
work on his award-winning Bremen scenery) will be doing all dynamic
effects. Both of them are big names on the scene and we are very happy
to have signed them on for this project.
Emma Field breaks new ground in many ways, as you would expect from
LAGO.
FSSoundScape
FSSoundScape is a ‘spin off’ from Emma Field. It is a small module
that has some similarity to FS Scenery Enhancer. But this module will
let you add sounds to locations. The module will be very easy to use,
just put you aircraft in the position where the sound needs to be
heard, open the menu, select the sound you want to hear and tell the
module under what condition it needs to be played (time, weather,
season, etc…). Next time you come to this location you will hear the
sound. An ideal way of adding more life to an environment and it will
make the beginning and ending of your flights a lot more enjoyable.
Just imagine flying into that bush airport, shutting down the engines
and hearing the birds. Or in the winter the howl of the wolves!
FSSoundScape will come with a set of sounds but can use ANY wav file
on the user’s hard disk. The product will be fully incorporated in
Emma Field, but will also be available in a stand alone, low price
version.
Price and dates
Emma Field and FSSoundScape are both scheduled for release in July or
August 2002. More precise dates will be announced when we feel secure
about them. Emma Field will be a full price product and FSSoundScape
will be a low priced ‘try before you buy’ product.
Additional News bits
• On the LAGO site you will now find over 500 (!) add-on files for FS
Scenery Enhancer. This makes this exiting product an incredible value
for money. Where can you buy a full blown scenery enhancer that works
IN FS2002 and get very nice scenery for 500 airports for free?
• As always LAGO is very interested in speaking to customers about our
developments. The ConDev (Concepts & Development) forum is the place
for that. But now you can even see the products being developed on the
ConDevCam (what’s in a name?). Check out

• FSAssist2002 keeps getting the best reviews; TecPilot just gave it
an almost unprecedented 95% score!
