• 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.

So after 6 months of learning and refining my workflow I am at a stage where I am going to start sharing screenshots.
Its has been a long learning process, but I am confident that every aspect of scenery development I should be able to do.
Work has progressed a lot since these screenshots, with 3 additional building ready to be textured, another almost done texturing.
Apron and runways are modeled and nearly ready for texturing.
The Main Terminal in these screenshots has progressed further in the meantime, but at a standstill currently, waiting for access to air side to take more reference Photos.

Just want to say thank you FS developer for being both a Mentor and an Inspiration.

With South Africa under lock-down for Corona, I am getting a lot more work done on the airport. I am also testing the limits of my 2000 on site photos. Main terminal is about 70% modeled. Outbuilding is textured, Workshop building needs to be remapped, before texturing can start.

Hi Guys

With the combination of sloped runways the Normal Ground Polygon, the old way has become problematic.

I have tried a new method but something looks incorrect and I cant place my finger on it. Please excuse the lights in the incorrect position.

Some recent screenshots of my project. Still very much work in progress, and fine tuning my work flow. Witch ends up in redoing things a lot.

Due to the surrounding area you strongly have to increase the buildings size :p;):D:D

Great looking project so far!

That is just me to Lazy to make my own HDRI images. :D I use them to test reflections and shading.

And thanks for the complement, just saw parts of the default airport on Youtube Tonight, haven't been this motivated in a long time.

Yes, going slow at the moment because of other obligations but still going... You can have a look on Facebook under Squawk VFR Simulations.
