• 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.

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.

I flew into Fornebu in July 1977 aboard a Laker Airways De Havilland Comet 4B. I remember it very clearly because it was the 1977 Scout Jamboree (Norjamb'77) and it was the first time I'd flown on an airliner. I'd flown sailplanes and light aircraft before but this was my first commercial flight. I say 'commercial' loosely because it was one of many chartered flights heading for all five Scandanavian countries. Gardemoen couldn't handle the traffic, so a few aircraft were sent to Fornebu instead.

The two jetways at Rovaniemi (EFRO) airport are the old ones from Fornebu. :)

Wow, this exites me! I have been wanting a working fornebu scenery for a long time, glad you took the job! I remember Jo Erlend, the man behind Mega Airport Oslo and so on, worked on fornebu sometime in 2013, though the project was later abandoned I think. Maybe you could have a talk with him and borrow some of the models he made? :)

Thank you! Why not hop over to P3D?

Cause this Sim isn't working on my pc... don't have the money to upgrade, just to have a videocard in my system to work for P3D or FSX... so i stick with the old one which doesn't need a videocard to run properly.

There is at least one tutorial about adding approaches in Airport Design Editor out there.
