FSX Fairford..... WIP

[Matt Wynn]

started today getting the basic buildings started (First time making FSX Scenery items and using 3DS Max for them...), AFCAD i'll finalise tonight... but without further delay heres a few WIP Hangar shots, if anyone know the hangar types or more importantly has pics of the interior of the larger one at EGVA they'd be valuable as i'm planning to make inside the big hangar too...

anyways heres the Hangars i have 60% done, ignore the colours, they're being mapped as we speak...

i hope to keep this thread updated as work progresses... steep learning curve this for a first timer

KD thats fantastic! just what i was looking for, also gives me an idea of the lighting inside the hangar fantastic, well hangar will be open 1 end partial on the other for definate now it'll eat polys but as the single biggest load to the sim in 1 scenery.... should be tolerable right?

I have pics somewhere that I probably can't find, but I was inside them last year. They're very clean and modernized with glossy white floors.

boy is that RIAT scenery dated the B-2 hangars and the 'peanut' have been built since then but still looks good...

Maybe in future we might even see a Brize norton, which my mate is Playing football at for the RAF intersevice comp tomorrow, there all fire fighters and there going dressed up as 1 gorrilla, the rest are going dressed as bannana's, even 1 is going as a female bananna lmao wtf, thats the RAF for ya hahaha!! I'll try my best to get the pics for us to laugh at lol!! When I think of RIAT I think of the welsh valleys and lots of speed!!

Looks great! Will this be VFR GenX compatible??

 

[Matt Wynn]

not having VFR GENX myself i couldn't say but it is aligned with photos so with luck and good judgement it should... i hope

 

[Matt Wynn]

Sorry for digging up this thread, but did anything every come from it? I'd love to sit back and watch a virtual RIAT airshow thanks to suitable fs recorder files.

Peter. You need to visit the Airfield Construction Group's site www.airfieldconstructiongroup.org

They have an absolutely superb freeware Coningsby, are currently working on Duxford and have many more airfields in progress.
