FSX Dresden X [EDDC/DRS]

[lazaro]

I wanted to share a few images of my project Dresden X.

Dresden Airport (IATA: DRS, ICAO: EDDC), formerly known in German as Flughafen Dresden-Klotzsche, is the international airport of Dresden, the capital of the German Free State of Saxony. It is located in Klotzsche, a district of Dresden 9 km (5.6 mi) north of the city centre. The airport features flights to some European metropolitan and several leisure destinations.

Dresden Airport is home to EADS EFW, a business unit of EADS mainly responsible for freighter aircraft conversion.

thanks Wikipedia!

I'm working on this mostly on off-days from work so progress is slow at the moment. I'd really like to hear your input and critique. So go at it. enjoy

Amazing! We really need this, the Aerosoft version is more than outdated

 

[Roel]

Wow! This looks amazing! Keep the updates coming, because I'm going to watch this closely! I suppose it will be payware?

WAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW

Awesome keep it up

I will be posting more regular updates here. I have not decided if it's going to be free- or payware. May end up if a publisher approaches me or not. Freeware distribution would be much easier though.

EDIT: It would also depend on how much I have to spend on satelite images. Right now I'm using Bing Maps as a proxy, but that obviously has to be switched out before release.

As far as I remember there never was an Aerosoft Dresden for FSX, the last Aerosoft scenery for this airport dates back to FS2004.

Anyway, I like it!

or you can be a publisher by yourself.
for example, on simmarket, there are plans for developer like you!

This is really nice. Why not contact Aerosoft's Mathijs Kok, they might be interested in publishing, and could help you out with the acquisition of orthoimagery.

Work in Progress textures on the Airport Firestation.

I'll be taking a 3 week vacation from work soon, so time enough to go full force on the scenery. Stay tuned. More updates soon.

Amazing work!

 

[Roel]

Oh my! This looks so good!

Some more texture work today. I think these are some warehouses. They're next to the taxiway and the firestation. Obviously still work in progress.

AWESOME, you are using Blender? are the pic ars on the Sim? if not, how dod you get this render that looks like FS ?

Grtz, Aviana Scenery

 

[lazaro]

I use 3ds max. those are renders, but the Ambient Occlusion is already baked into the texture. See here is an example. I use xNormal for the ambient occlusion.

xNormal is an addon dor modelling software? or a software itself? freeware/payware? If it is an addon, can it be compatible with Skechup2015?

Sorry for my noob questions :/

Awesome work and detail!

xnormal itself is free. you can import the meshes into it. I use the .obj file format. I dont know sketchup, but If it can do .obj you could use it with xnormal aswell i guess
