Well I am back now and I am going to be start working on some projects (including SimV Europe) but I was wondering what you thought of making a small airport in the middle of the mountains or someplace with special scenery and make individual hangers that will be placed along taxiways(that may look like our homes if you like but that's not nessesary). I think it would be nice to have a special area like that to meet besides the big airports(meaning SimV USA and Europe). If you like the idea I will get started right away.

Would be great for those stunt junkies among us 

I think it's an awesome idea. I'd put it somewhere in the Rockies (maybe like 20 minutes from Denver). I'm not good with flattening, and extra scenery stuff, but I might be able to help with the AFCAD stuff. I think it should be a single small-ish runway with like you said a bunch of hangers for the members. It might be too hard to make one for every one, so maybe we should set criteria or something for who deserves one, or maybe just have more "broad spectrum" hangers. One modeled for the Microsoft Flight Sim Series, one for the Combat Flight Sim Series, one for Designers (with some "works-in-progress" inside), etc...Just some ideas that came to mind...

Hope to see this idea fly,

I want a hanger. I don't really mind where you put it. Will there be hanger personalisation also?

a1 wrote on Aug 16^th, 2007 at 4:19pm:
Yes, that's the great thing about this. We can put your username on it if you like. 

I'd like to put in a formal request for a hanger...an idea for personalization...put the users' names on the top of the hanger so they are visible when flying arround the airport...

LSmedley92291

I second colsie's idea...i think that would be a really good option...the members name could just go right down each side of the jetways...

LSmedley92291

as from the other thread... please, if you need any help, do ask. im quite good with modelling and i mostly use 3ds max (and anim8or for modelling, its free but i really like it)

i think personalised hangars would be quite cool. maybe they are the same but have a sign above them which has a personalised image (say, under 300kb or so) which makes them unique. would bring the community together well (i think someone mentioned the sign idea)


but yeh, please gimme a shout, ive been dying to make something on flight sim since i got it... i just could never make decent looking aircraft and never thought about scenery 

colsie123 wrote on Aug 18^th, 2007 at 5:59am:
I have a better idea. We have one SimV airport and soon to have two SimV airports when the location of SimV Europe is announced. SimV airports will have terminal buildings with gates and we can always add more if needed. It would be better to put our names on those gates rather than make more jetways at a small airport. Besides, hangers give people the feeling that this is their own. They helped make it and it's in a design that they like it to be. Each person can't design their own gate because it would make the terminal building look too weird. I will be posting a map of the SimV USA terminal buildings and people can choose their gates by the number and I will put their username on it. You can also wait for SimV Europe if you want to choose a selection from there and as I said, the map for this small airfield neighborhood will be up shortly.

Ok, I could use you. Do you have MSN or AIM?

In afcad how do i get the terminals I place in it too show in FS ive been up dateing reno and I added terminals that dont show.

Ok, I have found a great place for our airport. It is going to be one of many islands off the coast of British Columbia right near the mountains (instead of in the mountains like I originally said). It is very very beautiful and I am sure everyone will like it. Anyway I have done the AFCAD stuff and I now have a map of lots for this airport. Here it is. Take any lot you wish. Now if we run out of lots, there is no need to worry because there is still more of the island we can use and there are other islands too. I will take lot #6.

I'd like 14...can you post what we need to 'design' as far as customization of our hangers?

Thanks for doing all this and let me know if i can help in any way,

Hey, what about the Dover cliffs?!    
I want my own hangar, too
Have you ever heard of Karthago's port at the time of the Rome's Empire?
It was like a large ring with one opening, where all ships parked along around the inside wall.
That could also be done for aeroplanes, not?! At least for those who don't need their own hangars.
And we should specifiy a maximum size of the hangars to make sure that somebody doesn't take take more space he would need for his aircraft and maybe a few flowers.

Edit: I don't care of the place! Place it at a good place (this sentence sounds somehow silly), and I'll be happy , or am I already?!

/me

PS: What sounds worse:

• Place it at a good Place                    or
• This Sentence Sounds Somehow Silly

Quote:
Ok, I will see if I can design something like Karthago's port for you. That shouldn't be too much of a problem. As far as maximum size of the hangers, it's really however big you want it to be as long as you stay within the property limits. I will be creating fences to show where the property line is. The nice thing about this is that you can make your hanger a skyscraper if you want.

Quote:

that would be a fun idea... people sharing bunks as it were... the big planes get to go inside (the stupid planes go on the pad) an the helicopters go on the pad

lol the silly planes on the pad......   L O L 

You're the one that makes the AFCAD, tue?!
if yes you'll need to specify the tower view point I think.
And shell I leave the inside of the tower empty?
Do you want fully transparent, reflective or coloured glass? 

I just noticed that I don't know if there's a way to have a part with its texture both alpha AND reflective?!

Edit: I currently have about 75% of the outside model, made the window textures but will need to alter them again and will then make the inside look good. I don't have reflective, yet but I think I'll be able to fix this soon.

Oooooh my god!!!!!!!!!  Help me!
left is how it looks in FSDS in right what I saw in FS 


What's going on here??? 

The tower or that error? 

Last night an idea came to me...If you could give me a plot of land...I thought it would be cool to have a motel called The Fly Inn. It would be a little complex of 3 to 7 hangers with the motel rooms being in theory part of the hanger itself. (above the bay) also there would be a place to refuel the planes, and a small pub or something to refuel the pilots. There could seperate parts for helo's where the motel room roof is flat with a helipad, and then those building would only be about one story tall. i drew up some sketches, but i don't have a scanner. I think it would be cool for visiting pilots that don't have their own hanger.

Do you think this would be possible? (maybe on one of the other islands) and does anyone have some suggestions?

LSmedley92291

I'll now open a new post especially SimV Europe buildings because I think we'll lose overview if we talk about simv europe in the same post as simv usa was and the other half in "neighborhood" .....
Of course here in the "other addons wanted" section.

see you (read you )
-The Revelator

Lot 23 Please?

I really quite like this idea! Looks like it could be a lot of fun, and a fantastic way for all of us to better "know" each other.

If possible, may I have lot 26, please? I like a nice view of the runway for spotting.

I'll have the idea for my personal hanger (lot 14) and also for The Fly Inn as soon as I get access to a scanner. Hopefully that will be tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

LSmedley92291

Murjax I just want a random hanger. But can you shape it like a Military Hanger. 

Don't forget the Department of Motor Vehicles for us grounded folks.

Murjax and anyone that happens to like AutoCAD,

I just got the 30-day trial of AutoCAD 2008, found here http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/mform?siteID=123112&id=9106363, and I am going to draft up my plans for my bits of the project using it, then I'll post or PM them to you as screens. I wanted to know if you would like me to model them in 3D or just in 2D. I'm confindent in my skills working with 3D, but it will take longer and because I'm going back to school on Wednesday, my time allowances just got shorter. If it will help you more to have them in 3D I will gladly do so. In 2D you could expect plans for my hanger and the inn by probably Thurday or Friday, but in 3D more likely not untill next Tuesday or Wednesday. Either way I can't wait to see my refined ideas somewhere other than my mind.

Thanks,
LSmedley92291

You already know me Murjax. I want a house! Please???

Ok, I'm going to get started with the construction of this now. Here's a map of what's left and what's taken. Lots with the green line have been taken.

colsie123 wrote on Aug 24^th, 2007 at 5:41pm:

You get 27.

I'd like 21! It corresponds with my Birthday...Thanks!

I never uploaded it. I'll post some screenshots of it in a bit. I have to fix one of the taxiways first.

And by the way, if you want your hanger to be custom made to your likings, please post your ideas. If you don't care for a custom hanger, I'll just design a hanger for you.

Can I claim number 11?

I like that spot as it has more road distance for my car addons to travel.

Can i get a Hardened Aircraft Shelter?

swordfish1227 wrote on Nov 4^th, 2007 at 10:26am:

Thanks for noting that. I will be using that feature quite a bit.

Looking Very Nice!

Can I claim number 15? Same reason as Ashar With any generic hangar

Isak922 wrote on Nov 7^th, 2007 at 11:53pm:


You're not gaining access to my Hangar then

Can I claim 12...

I wanted 11 but I'll settle with watching Jessy speed past!

Quote:


If you do that it will look like if the hangar crashed into an An-225 !

Can I have number 2, please? 

Hey, Murjax, if you have done a few hangars, can you perhaps show them, so people who haven't decided yet have an easier decision? How far did you get with the project?

Great! I know it is maybe not the nicest job to do all the hangars, but imagine you can then say:

"I made nearly everything of an international free-ware airport that's now center of all SimViation Multiplayer Flights!"

I already wrote a wish about a hangar at the last page. If not too much work you can give me a military aircraft shelter or how they're called. I mostly fly fighters...

best,
rev

If you could make me a hangar, just one big anough for 2 fighter jets, I would be content. (and if you would make me one, I'd like a military [preferably marine aviation] like one on block 19, with one open side facing north and a helipad on top, oh yeah how original  also I'd like a large liquor cabinet and a flak 88 to keep the Ashars away)
I promise I won't get drunk and play my loud american rock n' roll or let any of my friends near the place!

It will work in FSX also right? if not, oh well. FS9 is superior anyways.

edit: oh yeah and please put 'Der Unter Oinkmeister' above the entrance.
edit edit: and if you could make space for two jets, have one parking spot labled 'outlet 11's pad' and the other 'Oink-Blabbers spot' and also a pinup of my last girlriend and a slurpee machine and.. wait I'm asking for too much. Scratch the last two edit parts, unless you can do that, except for the pinp of my last girlfriend, she's to hot for you limeys  okay I better stop now before I get out of hand.

actually, if you can just give me lot 19 I'll PM you my ideas.

Here's my shot of what I've got so far.

     

I still have a long way to go. I wasn't able to do much with it last week because something went wrong with one of the hangers and I had to start over plus I was a little busy with other things. I will see that I get moving with this again.

Hmmm....Why is there a hold short line right on the runway? 

I dont like to complain but the helipad is too close to the runway...Imagine what would happen if a strong wind  blew from the right side when a plane would land together with a chopper...G A M E   O V E R...Except of that is very nice.

Awesome idea! Could I request lot number 13?

no parking for those of use with no wheels. a.k.a on floats.

if not i'l take plot 6

I have taken a small break from the project because I'm about to go on a trip in a few days. I should have the project almost done by the time I come back though. I have a lot of hangers completed. I'll post a screenshot of them when I come back and do a few more. 

Just spotted this thread again after a period of 'away-ness' ( ) and if no-one else has claimed it (not entirely clear on that one) I'd like #13 please. Though to be honest I'd be happy with whatever I got.

Edit; just seen wingo's earlier request. I shall revise my desires.

Edit 2; Plot #20 please.

hehe i got a ways to taxi id like a normal hangar nothing special maybe the default Northern hangars some what found in game in alaska?



(this is FSX right?)

Hi everyone. The project is now back in action. New hangers coming soon! Pics will be coming soon too.

just give me a nice small plot

Here's a new pic of the airport. Not too much new has been done but I think there are a few more hangers in this one compared to the last pic I showed you.
