Hello SimDesigners,
I'm currently working on designing a new airport in Gmax. I've gone through tens of spreads in here and haven't found a clear answer on how to actually make photo-real ground textures in gmax for fs2004. I managed to get a fair result using SBuilder, but the problem was that SBuilder creates "separated" tiles (you get to see a little space between each and every photo-tile!
My desperate question is: how do you place a high-resolution aerial image as a background for an airport in Gmax? Shall I cut them into tiles (1024x1024) in photoshop? How do I determine how many tiles my plain in Gmax should have in order to have sufficiently good resolution? How do I perfectly align and scale the plain in Gmax in order to get the a perfect match with the airport's FS size and position?
My second desperate question is: When you design aprons, do you create a single texture that contains both Apron-surface and Taxi-way marks? Or you just place two plains on top of each other?
I have all the tools needed. All I'm missing is your appreciated help!!
