This is one that is on Bill Womack's list to do, however in the meantime I have decided to do something with the default. I have a lot of Airports already done for Maine and my general boredom has pushed me to go back and fly some of them for a bit of fun. Right now the ground texture and autogen is all I have. I'm working on building the hangars and outlying houses and other buildings so it will be a bit before it's complete.

A few Hangars. . .most are the same basic size and shape, so it makes it a bit simpler when you can do one basic hangar and then add or subtract from the others.

Dick,

That looks better than what I flew into yesterday. Even with Orbx loaded, it was a barren field, not a single building anywhere.
 
Thanks Nigel. . .sometimes these scenery projects just fall right in line and other times I wonder (about half-way in) why I bothered, lol.

Really looking great, Ed! I like when the base of the scenery has such an accurate, life-like, rich color to the grass/terrain of the field (it really helps add to the immersion/level of realism). Fantastic job with the scenery objects/textures as well - all of those small modeled details always add to the immersion of creating the effect of a living/active airfield as well. Will be staying tuned!

Yea, it's a nice little grass strip. . .a kind of "placeholder" til Bill Womacks version is ready. I'm just wondering what differences I'll find when I finally get the latest land class from Orbx installed.
 
As others have said, great job on that hangar. It is very similar to ones I grew up with on our crop service airstrip..........built the hangars ourselves. Will be glad to see the finished product.
 
:untroubled: I like the nice little touch ... the deck chairs, sit there with a :very_drunk: and watch life go by ... and the planes

Ah, then you're familiar with the world of small grass Airfields. They're the ones I enjoy flying to the most. . .each one has a character all it's own and they can sometimes be a bit tricky to get into and out of. . .but that's part of the fun.

I really thought that particular hangar was interesting with the little deck area cut into it. I can just imagine sitting there in the fall watching all manor of small aircraft coming in to land for a Fly-In. Just seems like a great way to spend a weekend.
 
I'm another who's looking forward to it. A lot of my FS9 time was spent at Leon Louis' airfields. Don't forget a barbecue.
 
Just finished installing the latest North America Land Class from Orbx and I have to say that after some concern that it might not match the ground texture from this project, it actually looks better than the original Global Basic textures. I won't have to do any color correction at all. Just a few more hangars. . .gotta figure out exactly what the hangar signs say so I can do some art for those. . .add some grass. . .(a BBQ grill for dhasdell_w/smoke, lol) and the boulders, wind sock and memorial plaque and I think that's it.
