Hello all! Thought I would share a special project I am working on at the moment, Fornebu Airport. Fornebu was the main airport serving Oslo and Eastern Norway from 1939 to 1998. It was then replaced by Oslo Airport, Gardermoen and the area has since been redeveloped.
This is how the airport used to look like back in the 90s:
Since it was closed in 1998 the area has been completely rebuild into this
So back to the development in the sim. Since the airport has been demolished for many years, it is very hard to find good pictures and documentation. However I was able to download some aerial photos from 1980 (black and white, so need to add colors) that i could use as a background image, and an old FS2004 scenery which I have ported over some of the scenery objects into P3D. I have no idea how detailed this scenery will be, but at the moment it is just a simple, fun project.
Anyways here are some early in-sim screenshots.
