I was thinking of building SimV it's own airport with AFCAD. There are some things I need to know though. Where should we have it and how big should it be? I also need help placing buildings since I can't figure out how to do that.  Smiley

Well we all finally have our own airport. I would suggest multiple runways. In all directions. They should be adequate to land most of SimV's aircraft. Taxi ways are a must. Try to have a really really long runway for aircraft tests and fun going head on collisions.  Grin

Personally I think it would be great if we could have a SimV airport, is there anyone here who is seriously involved in scenery design?

I really don't care where it is, just as long as we have our SimV airport. Smiley Cheesy Quote:

That's a good idea...I'm willing to help with the design.  I'm just getting the hang of Gmax and EZ-scenery but I'm very proficient with AFCAD Tongue Wink.

I think it would be cool if we made our own little island out in the middle of some ocean.  That way everyone wins...nobody has to feel "shunned" because it's not in their country...

Sounds cool but don't make an island in the middle of the ocean. It seems fun but you can't go anywhere if your flying a small prop. Make it somewhere near the coast with plenty of possibilities to go to (plenty of airports in the surrounding area). Which coast? Anywhere as long as there are some challenges to find (mountains for whacky approaches and stuff like that). And since your on an island why not make a small seaport to for amphibian and float planes?

Well if you are talking about not offending anybody I have two suggestions. 1: you can put it on Antarctica since nobody lives there, or 2: you can put it in the Bering Strait. Decide what you want.  Smiley

This is a great idea, im no help though as i don't know how to do any of the required parts.  I think we should have a new island say in between UK and USA, it would be great for multiplayer Wink

Agreed! My Preference would be somewhere near the European Coast.... Preferably near the UK..... No one will find it in the middle of the pacific without aids anyway Cheesy


About the runway... Maybe you could spell SIMV with it.... the S for Ozzy and drunks and the rest of the runway's ( short and long) for others  Grin Grin

10000FT runway so you can mess aroun with takeoffs and landings or to pratice aborting takeoffs. And wide enought for 3 aircraft side by side for formation and make a long parking place by the runway for airshows.

How about something like this (for the base of the airport)?

(Not trying to steal your idea, Murjax, but this is getting interesting Wink.)  Let's try to make it a very different airport...something cool Cool.

...

That look good?
