Slight change of plan. I said I'd be doing Gibraltar first, but I've found I have a lot more enthusiasm for doing Princess Juliana Intl (TNCM) instead. Gibraltar is still on the list, but its now a future project.

To be honest I'm really impressed with the default TNCM - it has all the major buildings, and an aerial phototexture for the whole island. It still could do with a lot of work though, including a lot mroe trees, and making buildings that are more cohesive (they are just stool on their own in the default scenery). Also, TNCM is going through a majore construction project, adding a proper terminal building, which will be fun to model.

One thing I've noticed from various photos, is that the famous Maho Beach is completely washed away every year in the winter. I know you can have objects in FS appear and disappear according to the season, so I'd love to have it as a populated beach in summer, and as just a rocky embankment with a couple of spotters in winter.
