Schiphol 1940

CONCRETE?

OR ASPHALT?

Let me know. I have a slight preference for asphalt, but I think concrete is historically more correct.

Cees your assumption is correct. Runways and platforms were made from concrete. Based on the pictures below, the runways were poured (picture with T.V) and the platforms were made of tiles in different formats (picture F.VII).

Cees, one question: the last two screenshots show a greater hangar above in the background. It seems to be a relic of the newer Fokker factory included in CalClassic EHAM scenery. Furthermore there aren't any linked taxiways or roads. But I could be completely wrong, of course.

Bernard,

The hangar you mention is not mine, it's from fs2004, but I haven't been succesfull in excluding it. Furthermore there are no roads anymore since I had to switch off the Amsterdam background in the scenery.cfg. I tried to add roads and water with SBuilder9, but it is a long time ago that I was familiar with that program. This will take a considerable amount of time.

Cees
 
For now: I have more problems with fs2004 than I have with building scenery for it. Changing views makes my textures all go blurry. And I have repeatedly windows trying to apply compatability settings on fs2004, resulting in a not useable fs2004. I guess this is why I switched to FSX in the past. But alas, that's not all. ADE will not do what it is supposed to do in the fs9 mode, and Sbuilder9 is behaving the same. It's all very frustrating to put it mildly.

Cees
 
If its any help, I'm running FS9.1 (patched) with Compatibility Mode set for WinXP, SP2.
My rig runs Win 10 (64bit).

:unsure:
 
Looks good Cees! Especially the new hangars!

Although the car desity is perhaps a bit high for 1940 ;)

Yes, you're right. But the cars on the roads are added by Harry, the cars on Schiphol are added by me. We never adjusted that back in 2009. Soon after that I switched to that other sim. :ROFLMAO: Your Schiphol film from post 24 gave me plenty information regarding the big hangar.

Cees
 
Here are some close-ups of that area, including the small fort, before the bridge was built. Was the radio antenna still there in 1940?

Quite a bit of pedestrian/bicycle traffic! ;)

I hope Harry Biard reads my message on Cal Classics! And I hope he is willing to do some mud-moving! Just the roads and the canal to go and some houses and trees.

Good morning Cees,
I' am realy hot for your schiphol scenery!
Will be another milestone for vintage flying
Of course I understand your focus on airfields of your home country. But there are a lot of forgotten airfields also in france and germany
Have a nice constructive day
Best regards
Michael
