Sounds good! Not to sure bout the Antarctica bit though, it's got problems with GPSs, and it's a bit far from anywhere. What about somewhere in the desert?

that is a cool idea...it would be a great add-on IMO....but antartica seems too remote maybe somewhere in the desert like navada or death valley california? just an idea to look into.

Okay, here's what the Antarctica base looks like:



Complete With:
-5 paved surfaces, 10 runways
-100s of GA Parking Spaces
-A Bunch of Military Parking
-Aircraft Carrier Practice Runway (with huge overrun, just in case)
-Windsocks and other varios scenery items
-Some hangars

So, do you guys want it bigger (can't imagine you would), smaller, what?

I'm also going to need more people interested in this to make the project like the one Murjax started for FS9. If I don't get some more people, it will just be a nice airport, no private hangars.

I'm still deciding on a final location, but once I have that I'll start putting diagrams and options for hangars up.

Is this for FSX? If so, lemme know, if you need any help

I've been wanting to do something exactly like this, and I do owe you one

I'm afraid not But I can handle AI traffic, and anything that involves ADE.

I'll check out the location tommorow. If anything, placing it by the lake would be a good idea, we can't forget our floaty friends

Can i get a parking Space? 

Sweet!

ok i'll jump in..."can i have a spot too?" lol....i'm not too sure if it should be the size that you shown or small....maybe some more input but i think it should be to scale to the area.

cool i'll fire up FSX and check out the area

*edit* could there by chance be a few heli pads too?

i kinda thought that...i was flying at about 500 knots for about 30 minutes at 230-240 and didnt see any water

okay thanks alot, time to dust off the 'ol YF-23 and go sight seeing

Yes, that's the place. It's gonna' look very different soon though.

Hm, I'm not all to fond of the area, for several reasons:

1: Altitude. The place is located at around 6000 feet. Most props will be more or less struggling at that altitude, and planes like the Cub, are probably kept better at low altitude.

2: Surroundings. The area is very flat. It's pretty much in the middle of the desert, and there's nothing to look at. And I think, that glider pilots would like some mountains as well.

I think there was another one... but I forgot, so it can't have been important

I got some doubts about the size of the airports as well...

First, a 20,000 feet runway? Even the Shuttle Landing Facility 'only' has a runway of 15,000 feet, and I doubt we'll be seeing any shuttles

And about all the parking spaces... It'd probably be suicide for most system to cram a number of planes into a place like that, think about what a few hundred will do?

I don't mean to stomp on all your work, I really don't

BTW, I've flown around Minden, Nevada. IMO, this serves the purpose of putting an airport better. It's located at a lower altitude (around 4000 feet, which is still a lot, but can make quite a difference). It's surrounded by beautiful mountains, and there's a huge lake nearby. It's also a famous area for gliding.

IMO, this just seems like a better place, rather than an empty desert

The specific area I'm talking about, is a few miles South of Minden-Tahoe (airport). There's also a lake, which is by far big enough for a water runway. However, to preserve the hills around that place, an artificial lake would be easy to place

And I've jusr fallen in love with the huge lake, and small airport just North-East of there

Ok how big do you mean by meduim sized planes...
(Then again, it's not like I'm going to try to put an An 225 in a hanger)

One other thing... I would like a hanger too...

Quote:


Sure, I'll mark it up, when I get home

The locations you show me look good, but I don't like how there are so many airports all around it. It wouldn't really be as much of a private airstrip. I'll put a poll up and we can see which area is prefered. I'm not sure which one I like better myself.

With that great Addon scenery for the canyon, this one is a no-brainer!

Since the FS9 project is a sticky, I don't see why this one shouldn't be either.

I mistook the link in your first post for the SimV airport thread!

Oh well, Still a great Idea, can't wait to see the end result of this one.

I can't turn that offer down! Sure.

I think that B-valvs should stick with his choice of spot though

Well ,neither were really my idea. Also, this airport's not just for me, it's for everyone. I think everyone should have a chance to decide the location. I voted too, but I might not count mine.

I'll close the poll on Friday, or whenever there's no more votes. That's how we'll get our final location. If someone had a better suggestion they should have spoken up sooner.

Is the nine people including me?

One other thing is, would I be able to land an MD 90 there?

Edit: Nevermind, I will be able to land as long as stay around the 130,000 pound mark. (But I will be have 20,000 pounds of thrust more (than the normal MD 90), composites and higher lift wings...)

So yes I probably could take off here...

(And yes the plane I'm describing is the custom one I'll be working on...)

Yes. And no, it's not too late for anyone to sign up if they still want a hangar.

Quote:


sweet about our names being on the hanger when you select the airport and where to put the ac will it be member name also or parking number?

Did I mention, you could sign me up for one?

You can't add names to parking spots in ADE BTW, only numbers

Quote:


That is so cool! I AM willing to pay for this! Good work guys, Keep it up! (thats what she said!)

The poll is now closed, and as you can all see, the results are extremely close. The results are so close that without my vote they are tied. So, instead of making half the voters happy, and half of them mad, I will make a Minden Simviation Neighborhood and a Grand Canyon Simviation Neighborhood. These will be downloaded as one package. I think as a celebration of the neighborhoods, we could do a multiplayer flight from Minden to the Grand Canyon when it's all done. I'll start making the airports now. They should be done, tested, retested, and released by March, unless I have a major problem to work out.

*If you still want a hangar, it is not to late to sign up for one until the files are uploaded.*

Could you give me the approxament dimentions for the hangers...

I Hope its not too late, but could I have a hanger please?

This is the list of people who are signed up for hangars right now. Let me know if I missed anyone. *It is still not to late to sign up if you would like a hangar. Don't get stuck out in the rain with a Guest parking spot.*

There's plenty of room. I'm not restricted to a limited number of spaces like Murjax's design was, so there's always more room. I'll put you on the list.

Nice, perhaps a short grass runway as well, for light aircraft, and gliders?

Or something similar to it in properties, we're in the desert after all!

We can have a grass runway at the Minden location, but I haven't started that yet. I'll see what may be similar for the desert.

Okay, I'll add that.

Yay. Your prize can be a hangar at an imaginary airport.

J. wrote on Feb 1^st, 2009 at 2:22pm:


Sure. If you want a helipad with your hangar and parking spot, let me know please.

That looks great!  I'll do some of the testing if you want me to . Im sure it'll be fine though  .

** Need I say more? 

If I do need to say more, I'm game to test it

Okay you Lunitic and Anxyous, once I get this one finished I'll send you the files.

Can I do that? I was going to e-mail it.

Don't worry, it's almost ready. I haven't had much time to work on it this week.

Hey guys!

I was just wondering how much has been done on the project? Could we maybe have some screenshots?

But yeah, Its still great of you to do all this .

Sounds great! But where's Minden?

Be sure to download the ADE 1.39 beta!

If not an ILS, we should at least have a non-precision approach or two

And looking great! Can't wait, to get my hands on this

Some hangars have problems, when entering. You could try a different one

Looking good! How long are the runways?

Again, sorry for the delays. I'm trying to get this hangar problem worked out. As soon as I figure it out I'll send the files. In the mean time I'll start Minden.

By the way, what do you use to design the airport.
