Posted this in the SS board, why not here?


YAY! now that I don't have to worry about school for the next few days it finally gave me a chance to work on my scenery!

First off I apoligize for the shots but my pixels are all screwed up so I had to go on a lower resoultion than normal.
I placed a few more macros today including the hanger and dock,

Hanger, complete with airplane inside  



Fixed up the scenery from last time:



Dock

[Hornet]

Looks like you need some maintenance on that dock. Awesome scenery.

Lookin' good, Fox!      How about an overhead view and a capture of the AFCAD display?

[Fox]

I didn't start on the AFCAD yet but i'm still deciding on the taxiways and things like that.

Right now its just a rough thing when i comes to the layout (Just a runway with  big slab )

Relese Date?  

[Fox]

Not sure yet, It depends on how busy I am.

As of right now I only have one thing on my list checked off, which is the updated ground/mountain mesh.

Ey, that sure look great

[SmartJunco]

You need some BETA testers fox?

[Fox]

Yes, but not for sometime. However when I am looking for them I'm going to need 2 People with low end systems (Prefibly a shared video card) 2 with high end, and 2 with average systems

Just got done with FBO office:








The smaller things like the parking lines, coke units, and fed-ex mail box will not be in the FPS friendly (Lite) version.

Good shots!      I'm going to guess that you have plans for that large area between the runway and the parking ramp?

Since you haven't started on the AFCAD yet, you've built the runway and ramp in something else, right?  Make sure you have the coordinates recorded so you can accurately place those in AFCAD.  And don't forget:  AFCAD uses xx* xx.xxxx' format for lattitude and longitude; so you'll have to convert E42* 37' 15.1682" into E42* 37.2511' for AFCAD to put it down correctly.  (That's the seconds (") divided by 60, then the decimal value attached to the minutes.)

Regarding some of your other screenshots, what macros did you use for the pick-up trucks?  Would you mind providing the link?  I can use those to populate part of the motor pool at my "private" test airbase KLKH.  You haven't run across any macro sets of construction equipment anywhere, have you?

Good work, Fox .... and to think that just a few weeks ago you were ready to give it up altogether!      Aren't you glad you didn't?  It can be VERY frustrating at times, but when you see it coming together (like yours is now), it all seems worth it somehow.

I did some "spring cleaning" and got rid of all of the extra space, chances are i'll clean it up even more down the road.




For the Macros I used "Extra Objects"

Looks a lot more organized, even with just that little adjustment .... that's one thing that I've learned over the months working with scenery design.  It isn't necessarily BIG modifications that make the difference; a lot of times I get better results with just minor adjustments.

Thanks for the link; since that "private" airbase is joint-use, extraobjects will give me a pretty good variety of vehicles to put in the motor pool.  As for the construction vehicles, I think I may have to make them myself .... not looking forward to that, because they're a real    to design.

Awesome! Will we need that download for the objects to show?

[Fox]

Nope

[PiP]

you want some taxiways dion?

[Fox]

Not at the moment, no. But thanks for offering!

[Hornet]

Eric you might want to place the airport closer to the dock or add a second runway. I would be happy to beta test when it's done.
