Hello again.
As you may have read, I just wrote into simv neighborhood post to open a new thread especially for our SimV Airport - Europe Scenery.
This is really needed I think as we would soon lose overview. Of course we can still write into the SimV Neighborhood post but I think the SimV Airport post gets too long. So here we go!

I just solved my tower problem http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1187864790/0.
See next post.

Where you going with the edinburgh or heathrow tower design.

strange I just painted a bit over the texture templates, saved to texture folder, started up fs and..... no textures!
In FSDS it worked......

The coordinates are for the SimV neighborhood project. Remember you said you wanted to do the tower for that airport? I gave you permission so therefore I thought this was the tower for that airport. I guess we got confuesed between all those threads.  I do like this tower for both airports though. We will use it for both. I might decide to switch to this tower for SimV USA when I release V2.0 of that. 

Some more things I've done by now:

• I've overworked the tower's window's alpha channel. Now one can't look through the window frames as good as before....  
• I painted some base textures, with a dark grey (hex. colour: #333333) and painted a nice top!!!
• I fixed some bad polygons that didn't want to apply their textures.
• The inside no has floor and top textures.
• I also reworked the smoothing groups: The bottom poly row is now not smooth with the main tube above.
  The same with the poly row below the tower house. It's no more smooth with the main tube. (sorry for my english  )

Here you can see the tower:



And here the problems I still have

I don't know how EZ scenery works and what it is, but generally this bgl scenery format has a fixed position.
I know there are ways to export the files to another format, but I'll have to try this out.

I was really unsure if I should do it.
But then I decided that there are more people here on simV that have this avatar than people that have an Anti-Badger signature....
Im sorry you can't read what's written on the tower's top due to picture compression, but in FS you will be able to read this.

I think it's great.

bump

This is a great project and it can't be allowed to fizzle out... has SimV europe been released in any form yet?

Great!

Ok, I should explain some more about this delay. I have three projects at hand. One, I am trying to make payware scenery, the other two are the SimV Europe and the SimV Neighborhood projects. Now the delay is not caused by the fact I have 3 projects at hand. The delay comes because I am waiting for an email from someone that has to do with all 3 projects. The email hasn't come though and I am considering looking for other resources to find this information I need. I'll tell you guys what I need if the time comes that I have to rule this email out. Hopefully we can get moving again soon.

Ok, well Simviation Europe is just about ready to be released. I just need to put in the tower. I can either put the one I made in (which isn't very good) or take Revelator's tower. I would rather put Revelator's tower in but I need him to give it to me. PM or contact me on ICQ about it when you have time Revelator.

Yeah i think if you include the readme file for the 2 logos, i think that would be good

Well I just got back from a trip so that's why I haven't been getting this done. I want to get it done now but I might need some help with that tower. I'll PM you if I need help.

Ok, SimV Europe is finally being released. It's in the southeastern UK. I hope you enjoy the airport. Here's a screenshot.


P.S. Revelator, I'm just using a different tower for this right now just to make things easy. I did put your tower in the SimV Neighborhood though.

Got any ideas on what to do about that if I decide to release any updates?

Quote:

It's exactly the same as SimV USA. If you have that, you should know what it looks like. Do you simply want to download the airport yourself or do you want me to take a screenshot?

Here's a shot.

That wouldn't be a bad idea. There's tons of space. The concordes are 18-20 gates and I currently have GA parking scatered on the letters S,I and M. Moving the GA would be a great idea. I'll get to doing that sometime soon.
