My next FSX and Horizon GenX scenery...

Hi Trev,

The hedges look just like 'green walls' from the screenshots

Yeah, I did think the same, but I'm assuming (hoping) you can add your own objects and textures... in which case a nice custom-ish hedge could be on the cards... one which doesn't look like a green wall!

cheers

I believe there is a big annual airshow, anyone tell me how the airfield is set up for this?

I would like to add some vistiting aircraft and crowds etc. for people who have FSX Acceleration (they have the object library objects included) in an optional add-on file.
 
I'll do some research, And see what I can find.
BTW can you add some crowds and marques to the UK2000 Duxford Scenery to make it like Flying Legends? Sorry about all these requests, I'd do it myself, but I just don't know how...
 
I can't seem to find any photos to show the airshow layout.
I think you need to ask SpaceWeevil, I think he's been to this airshow.

Thanks,
I could not find much after a quick look either. The airfield is in two parts really, I am guessing the crowd stay around the old USAAF tower and the flying elelment of the airshow takes place along the line of the 09/27 runway, but that is only a guess.

There is loads I could do, but I think it might drag the frames down too much. As far as modifying Duxford, I think that might infringe copyright if I distributed it.
 
Why not ask over at the UK2000 forums about it - an airshow Duxford would be fantastic!!!!

At airshows there will always be a flightline on the longest runway, which will be the active one. Judging from the aerial photo, I think that the smaller runway on the right will be closed off and used as the crowd area. Health and Safety/CAA states that at all public airshows the flightline must be at least 14 metres back from the runway. This means that using the left side of the airstrip would be too narrow for a crowd/classic car show...

ok here we go...

That was a good guess on my part:applause:, here is what I did before I saw your layout!! Thanks for that!!

Just a few bits to change!!!!
 
OK, a little adjstment to the crowdline and aircraft, and here is the airshow. It will be an optional extra to my Rougham scenery and you will have to have FSX Acceleration Pack installed to use it. Should be out (with Thorney Island) in a few days.
Still no way of uploading here:173go1:, so it will be on my page of Tony Meredith's site http://www.arm-computers.co.uk/html/trevor.html
or FS.com.
 
Wonderful job! It doesn't affect your layout at all, but the big runway (on the left in your screenshots) is used for takeoffs & landings, while the smaller runway (used as a taxiway as Rowdy says) is the display axis.

It's a great show, not too big, and you are close enough to the aircraft to smell them - and have your hat blown off when they taxi out!
 
That's lucky, as I have left them both pretty clear. I have just gone back there at dusk and that is pretty impressive, the fairground rides (animated) are all lit up and the crowd's camera flashes are very spectacular.

Despite the number of objects, the FR's are only dropped by about 2 with the airshow displayed.

If you two, (letsgetrowdy and spaceweevil) want to PM me with an e-mail address, I can let you have a beta for tomorrow evening .

Just make sure that those flashes are only visible at night, and that'll look great. The Orbx Avalon show scenery has flashes going off during the day, which simply doesn't happen when it's light (or at least, if it does, you certainly can't see it very well).

I am afraid that ORBX have the same problem as me (and they are pros), you can blame MS for the daytime flashes. Nothing you can do, as far as I know.

Still, what do you expect at this price:icon_lol:

Here is the final release shot of the Rougham Airshow, it should be available for download sometime later today, I will post a link when it is ready! Remember FSX and Horizon Vol2 and FSX Acceleration Pack required to see the airshow!
