Hi guys, I have been wanting to design some scenery for a while, but I can't come up with airports to do, so I need your help, and maybe I can help you too. If you have a certain airfield (maybe your home airport) that you can't find an addon for, just tell me the ICAO code and name below, and I will spice up the field for you! Also, specify if you want it to have photo-real ground textures, what types of airplanes to put on the field, and whether or not to edit the airport to real life specs. Give me a few days and your own personal addon will be ready. If you don't like it, just uninstall it. I don't ask for anything in return.

Wow that is really nice of you Smiley  Now that you mention it.. In a year I'll be taking flying lessons at KASH a.k.a. Boire/Nashua Airport in New Hampshire, U.S. Just general aviation planes there would be great Smiley  If you could make the airport close to real life specs, that would be amazing Smiley Smiley  Thank you so much Cheesy Cheesy

I agree, Wow what a great offer.  One airport that has been ignored has been the home of the 767, 777, 747-8 and the 787.  That is KPAE (Paine filed in Snohomish County, Washington).  I have Ultimate Terrain X but even they just barely touched it.  It's a big project but well worth it when you include the Boing Plant just north of the field.

If you do do it, I suggest you put it here for everyone because there have been many requests for it.

Fred.

I would love to have PAJN!  It is my home airport, and is very poorly represented by FSX default.  I can get you all kinds of pictures of buildings if you want!

cork airport.
it is probably one of the worst areas in the game,bridges in the wrong location,landmarks are not there,no cruise ships at cobh,the airport itself is decent but the area around it is horrible,it is so bad i would be happy with the following improvements: no gap of water where the tunnel is,the esb(an energy plant),the ONLY oilrefinery in ireland and the town/city of cobh with a cruiseship.
i know it is a lot of work but i have been looking for cork harbour scenery for ages and the only one i have found is just cork airport and its payware.

Sorry, I must have missed your question! I have made quite a few airfields, but I don't have any posted on the web. Some of the fields I have made include 2nco, kded, kdab, 7fl6, and ktnt. I don't as much "make" the scenery as much as I "spice them up".If anyone is curious, I use Airport Design Editor, SBuilderX, and the Standard FSX SDK,

Please post them on the web!

We have had people on here for years saying they 'will make planes/scenery'.

None have ever done so. None.

So please. Before you make promises just post some of your stuff so we can see it.

Thank you.  Cool

It seems you're already kind of overloaded, but when you're done with all those would you please make an airport kind of like this for me for FS9? If you can't do FS9 I'll take FSX.
This is not a real airport, it's just one I thought up.

Here's what I'm hoping for it to have:

A 1,500 ft long and 100 ft wide water runway surrounded by land so that only the runway is water.

A 2,000 ft long and 100 ft wide runway.  (Asphalt or concrete)

A 10,000 ft long and 200 ft wide runway.
(Asphalt or concrete)

A 5,000 foot and 150 ft wide all uphill runway.
(Asphalt or concrete)(close to 45* please for the hill)

And a 6,000 ft long and 200 ft wide runway that for the first 3,000 ft is flat and level and for the second 3,000 ft curves upward. (to about 25* for the upward part please.)

If possible please make all the runways have atleast one parking spot and make all the runways surrounded by autogen trees.

I don't care about ATC, AI or where the airport is.
You can pick th name of the airport if you want.

Thanks!

I'm sorry, but that's is just a little too much for me. It is extremely complex to make sloping runways, and I don't know how to make water-class specific sizes yet. But, you could got to FSDevelopers forum, where the pros hang out and ask them. I'm sure they would be happy to help.

Yeah, I think so too. I think it has to do with the location of the hardened surface or something.

I do.  You can get some VERY good shots then.
If you need examples, here's some leftovers I took for this month's screenshot contest.

I'd love to do that scenery, but I have a problem. If you have Ultimate Terrain X, even if it barely touched the field,
that makes your Paine airport different than mine, since I don't have any addons for it. Unless you can somehow uninstall or remove UTX from just Paine field, I can't make a correct addon. Cry

I can do the airport, but I don't know about the scenery around the airport. It is a massive undertaking to do a medium sized airport with quality, not to mention an entire region. It involves making exclusion and land class polygons, adding hundreds of things by hand, and doing meticulous and repetitive work.

Club508.... you dont care where in the world your airport sits?   I can do FS9 airports with no problem (just not fsx). 

question. for your airport, does it HAVE to have taxiway/runway signs?  I can do those too, but it might take a little longer to do being that I have not worked with Sbuilder in a while, and I'll have to figure it out again. (but then again, i could always add them in later as an update for you)


2 airports that I have uploaded to here (if the main site would come back up again) are 25LS - Rotorcraft Leasing Corporation, and KDVI - Desert View International. 


I have also made a fictional Military Base out of Tereen, Afghanistan.
http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m66/437thVAC/TereenAFB.jpg

Sorry for the link, but seeing as how the main site is down, and the uploader is linked to the main site, it is down too..... Once the main site is up again I will upload the pic to here and then replace this with the correct link.




@Club508... there are only 4 runways as of yet, there is a water runway on a lake that is just out the picture to the right side (this is an upgrade of a default scenery, but I am nowhere near done with it yet.... this shows the night lighting 'taxiways and runways at night')  ... is this good enough or do you require the other runways as requested?? http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m66/437thVAC/U93-Upgrade.jpg

This is a busy airport that is the main airport for Southern New England.  It is used by major airlines including Southwest, Continental, USAir, Delta and flights to Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.  Photo-real textures and models of the actual buildings would be great.  As we are in the north, seasonal effects would also be appreciated!
Thanks!

Can you fix scenery?

I have this Ft. Lauderdale package for FS2002 (the one on the bottom by Michael Ruehl) but it screws up the VOR.

Ft. Lauderdale's VOR is 114.4 and has a range of 195 miles.  This cuts it to 11 miles, which is a real inconvenience if Ft. Lauderdale is your home airport.

I don't have AFCAD installed and you may assume that I know absolutely nothing about scenery design.  I can activate and deactivate it but that's about all.

KDWH, (David Wayne Hooks) just NW of Houston is a great little airport with a water strip.Iit does need some eye candy and a upgraded FBO. KDWH is home to a B-17 "Texas Raiders" thats based at the west end of the airport. There are always numerous Navy & Air Force trainers in and out for cross country's. Other frequent aircraft include the AH-64 Apaches, P-47 and other Warbird fighters.

Hi Flier, thanks for being so generous. If you have time I have been wanting a simple scenery add-on for Reno/Stead that is nothing more than pylons that are tall and stick out like a sore thumb. The stock pylons are very difficult to see, and it would be nice to have something for multiplayer where newbies can join in and find the course very easily.
There are different pylon courses for different classes. I'm interested in the Unlimited Class Course. That would be awesome.
And if such a thing already exists (just pylons - nothing fancy) someone let me know. Thanks much.

In 3 months FlierForLife has never fulfilled any requests.  He just posts excuses why he can't.
