    Tofino Seaplane Base CAB4 - Image 1

    Description

    V2 enhances some of the rocky coastline, custom dock hut, adds a  runway and shore lights, as well as adjusts the dock so that it isn't touching the terraformed shore. 
    Flyng into Tofino offers some of the most spectacular vistas on the West Coast. Its' rugged shores and giant fir trees are something to behold. Some adverturous hikers do the "West Coast Trail" others take to the sky in a seaplane right out of this base.  Tofino Seaplane Base has a quaint office at the end of the pier where you can buy tickets for a half hour or hour tour.  Some tourist come in December to watch the storms and the huge waves that pound the shores.  

    So this model is a bit different because it has launching parking spots next to the docks.  And as an added bonus I created a subsurface collision obstacle below the docks to that your seaplane can bump into the dock without going through it.  (So frustrating why Asobo or MS don't create a tie-down and release for seaplanes)  So you can play around with that.  If you get stuck you can try and throttle off if it.. Good luck.
    I love having "Mamudesign" dock and boat app and so if you want the best results it is available from this site.  Also I used Human Library Animated and Daves 3d People. 
    I have included Mazermodel for those who may not have it already. It goes into your Community Folder. Developers are free to use anything from it that they like.  

    Tip for docking after landing.  The docks will  bump your plane away if you approach slowly.  I hit the "Pause" button so that my plane remains next to the  dock when I shut down.  When starting up from the dock, I like to have my rudders down  so  that I can steer away as soon as the engine starts.  

    Enjoy

    Looks like both Mamu Marinas and Dave´s Library are not available here. What to do if I still want to try this scenery

    Hallo MazerMart,
    is it possible to install the scenery without Mamudesign - Marinas by mamu82 because this is currently not availlable.
    Thanks

    I think all you would be missing is the secondary boats in other docks. So yes.

    Hey! That's really great! Thank you for creating this scenery!


    Right next to the seaplane piers there is a helipad of the Canadian Coast Guard Station: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Coast+Guard+Station+Tofino/@49.1543732,-125.9104642,423m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x5489972c5d53cf75:0x31278736eb909670!8m2!3d49.1543252!4d-125.9080929


    Maybe that would be a nice addition to your scenery! :D (I'd love it :D :D)

    Have a nice day!

    Great idea. I took a look and it is doable, however I would love to get some better images of the buildings etc. If you know of anyone that can help them PM me with some.

    Thanks for the 5 star rating.. Much appreciated. :)

    Hi, for some reason I'm not seeing any wharves jetties etc. All I get is some benches and animated people floating above the water.

    Obviously I'm missing some of the models. I have all the dependency libraries installed, what am I missing??

    Please help, thanks.

    I am going to upload version 2 at about 11:30 EST. I am not sure why you are getting that problem. I wonder if it is the your cache. Try refreshing by deleting. I use 18 Gig as my cache setting. (found at the bottom of Data)

    Downloaded the new version of Tofino and the new Mazermodels and all good.

    Beautiful work, thanks a lot.

    Thanks.. Would have loved to keep the perfect 5 star rating though. :) I added the Mazermodel file for you. Perhaps that is what would have made the difference. I didn't originally put it in because it was included in my other airports like Port Hardy and Sandspit etc. Cheers

    Thanks Maz, but for some reasons the water level fingers are under water. ???
