• 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.

This will be a freeware airport for FSX.

Hotspot entry: http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/hotspots/kplk-m-graham-clark-downtown-airport.7/

Airport with updated mesh, photoreal, some new buildings and ground textures:

Thanks Marc. I'm glad I chose a small airport for my first scenery. It's a lot of work :yikes:, but it's also good fun. I'm determined to get this finished.

Nice work - is that the one the airliner "accidentally" landed at ???

Yes that's the one, Southwest 4013 landed at KPLK instead of KBBG. Good thing they stopped before the end of the runway -- there's a sharp drop-off as you can see in the screenie above.

Looks good :)
My opinion is to make the markings to around 80% of transparency, they should look much better.
With 100% transparency, they looks they float.

I added some FSX material over the ground poly.

This one's subtle but shows a bit of specular on the taxi and apron surface:

Here's how it looks when raining. I added some bump mapping which nicely tones down the reflections, otherwise the surface looks too much like a mirror:
