(WIP) NZNV - Invercargill

Postby igorffontes » Sun Apr 17, 2016 9:44 pm

Hello NZFF members.

I've been playing with 3ds max, doing some sceneries for personal use - nothing professional. Now I decided to work on something that will be released, and decided to work on Invercargill Airport.
I know that there is the brilliant version by Craig Darrall at flightsim, but it doesn't feature the new terminal and I'd like to make a custom ground poly as well.

I have already collected a good amount of photos from Google Images, Flickr and the excellent John Griffiths page at Facebook. It turns out that these pics are not yet sufficient, and the vast majority is for reference only (i.e., due to its angle, position, etc., I can not use it in my textures, and have to do the textures by hand).
So, if you have any image, drawing or any document that can help me in this work, I would be very grateful. Just drop me a e-mail: igorfontes at outlook dot com.

Below a very early stage screenshot. Note that the building next to the hangar 1 will be redone from scratch.

Cheers,

Welcome to NZFF and a great Start Igor and one hell off an entrance B-) , looking forward to see what you come up, simply place the buildings and don't rush it.

There was a lot of material I picked up on after the first builds done for FS9 , I'm sure today many must have access to the airport and grounds today by compare to the 15 fifteen years back .. fingers crossed for ya.

heers,

Two pleas, if I may (as a non-Kiwi):

- Make it Prepar3d3 compatible
- Make it FTX NZSI compatible.

Both are in heavy use today and would reward the effort, if you are able to do it.

Kind regards, Michael

Well... I'm not a kiwi as well... Am a brazilian and can't forget the 7x1! So, no way for orbx and p3d then! :P Joking... For sure I will make it compatible.

Cheers.

Looks good mate! If you make it compatible with FTX NZSI that would make my day! Invercargill is great :P

I had a long professional commitment that put me away from working in this scenery since my last post. Now that I have more free time, I finished the custom Ground Poly.
I am now working on ground lines and markings. Next step will be 3d lights and signs. I'll get back to the other 3D objects when I gather as much material as possible.
