• 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.

Hi.

I wanted to show what I'm currently working on. My plan is to upgrade all Mauritanian airports and airfields. Because I'm new to all this and have almost none data about Mauritanian airports don't expect high end results with many custom buildings. As you can see on first screenshot anything is better than default. I hope you'll like it and it will be nice addon.

Part 1: Bir Moghreim
Civil/military airport in north Mauritania. No civil facilities. Poor shape of runway.
Custom runway, added city, changed nearby hills to rocks, new vector class for sand roads, added military base with custom hangar and few objects.

I guess this is quality you can expect from me. It's nothing very fancy but as I said, I'm newbie and I prefer to make more airports in less time than work on one airport for months.

Screenshots (all with FTX Global, FS Global 2010 and FTX Vector)

Next: F'derik.
 
That looks great. How many airports to do you plan to recreate? Looking forward to this.
 
Thank you guys for support. I plan to do as many Mauritanian airports as I can, but it's hard to find infos about them. It's also hard to tell if specific airport is still in use. What's even more confusing is that bing and google satellite imaginery is totally different. For example one runway looks like gravel, on google it's asphalt. Now I'm preparing to recreate airports near huge iron ore mine in F'derik and Zouerat.
 
In google earth you can check the date of when the footage was taken using the history slider. Not sure how you can do the same in bing maps though, but you can also check on terraserver, you can even select the date you wish to see for the region in their demo page.
 
Thanks pina47, didn't know about that. I had problem with too bright pics of F'derik but older ones are way better.
