• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Here are some "in development" screen shots for my new project. I just finished the base of the airport and hopefully I will be able to finish the modeling tomorrow. It should be ready within about... a week or so. :D

Thanks for the comment. The runway is a mixture between photorealistic textures and hand drawn textures flattened together resulting in a dirt feeling.
 
Very nice.... did you draw the grass by hand? sparce, but looks soo much better than mine. i tried to cut away real grass from a darker board, and wished i had a black board. thought about drawing it by hand... i have a black felt blanket for some work related photo cutouts, but noting large enough to use as a grass knockout...
 
Thanks for the comments, I'm working on the modeling right now :).

Everything is made in gmax and the gimp. Including the taxiways and runways.

I am planning to make the whole island photorealistic, but I have no idea how. If anybody can recommend a good tutorial that would be great :D. Will post some screen shots of the modeling soon.
 
Is that Virtual earth Golf-HotelDelta? That seems perfect.:eek:

Now if I could only find a way to get them within FS, last time I tried it was 5 miles off and over scaled...:rolleyes:
 
HI Geaorge,

Maps2bgl is certainly a great program to use, though aren't the .bgls only for private user, not sure ?

Don't want to highjack the thread but is there a tutorial for creating a watermask around please ?

Thanks
 
I will certainly look into Maps2bgl and see if I can redistribute the work.
I'm almost done with the modeling:D
Thanks guys
 
Piccys of the models please ?

I've not seen that tool before, has anybody else tried it ?

Good find.
