Well, I have decided to start a project for my self. Project PALWAUKEE. I am making the AFCAD now, and will be doing the modeling after the AFCAD. one question I have is that  I should make all of the parts im modeling individually. Then generate a bgl and look for the correct placement in FS right? Also, how do I get the object facing the right direction?

Thanks for all of your help.

By the way: Palwaukee is my local airport and is mostly GA has an ILS approach and the PAL-WAUKEE 2 TWO departure, and some private jets fly there.

also, insted of using AFCAD or with..., is it possible to make your own textures and just put that in FS? Sort of like FLY TAMPA, and other payware scenery makers?

Fly Tampa still uses AFCAD, not sure how they do the custom textures.

AFCAD's are required to make the AI work!

[Marshall Carter]

I believe that FlyTampa puts the custom ground textures in by mapping large sections of the airport with gmax.

@Glacier BLUe- So they make a big plane and then allign it with the afcad?

also, of course im not there yet, and the control tower is just a preview, but how would i put the light textures on? Also, of course those aren't the final textures .

P.S. thats 1102 polys... mostly because of the sphere that makes the dome... should i lower the poly count of it?

eDIT: got polys now to a total of 272 no quality lost... it was all the sphere on top...

That shows you how to do it for an airplane, but i think you can just act like its the tower

[wildwobby]

Thank you, I have now completed the building next to the control tower too... they both need texturing, what im doing now, and then I have hangers, and other buildings. I am going to try to make my own runway and taxiway textures.... but how do i do that?

What's up with your signature?

Hi Wildwobby,

Looks like a nice looking tower there you have created in GMax!

Mark.

Edit: How come there is a huge blank space on page 1, below B737's post?!
