SimViation Airport - Europe

[DonAlfonsoRoKil]

Hello again.
As you may have read, I just wrote into simv neighborhood post to open a new thread especially for our SimV Airport - Europe Scenery.
This is really needed I think as we would soon lose overview. Of course we can still write into the SimV Neighborhood post but I think the SimV Airport post gets too long. So here we go!

I just solved my tower problem http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1187864790/0.
See next post.

So here my tower is.

What I changed?

• I fixed the error I already gave the link to above.
• In the inside of the tower you can now see the windows with its frames.
• The inside now also has a roof, yesterday one was able to see through it .
• Below from the windows you can see the inside wall. Yesterday....
  There I'll put tower instrument textures at.

What I still need to do:

• At the bottom of the tower and some polygons are white/black flashing in FS.
  I think there are some polies at same place. I can fix this with a ZBIAS, can't I?
• The outside textures!!!

What do you think how I should texture the outside parts? Someone already suggested me to make it a dark, matt grey.
But here now my results:

Good job. Now it's time to put it on the island. Now as far as textures go it kind of looks fine just plain but if we were to add textures to it, I think it a silverish color would be nice.

Where you going with the edinburgh or heathrow tower design.

[DonAlfonsoRoKil]

I'm just back from holidays, so I didn't work further on it.

I think it a silverish color would be nice.

I'd also like to make it silvern but reflection (what is needed to have metal and not grey) doesn't seem to work.
If someone knows a solution or perhaps what I did wrong, please tell me!
So I'll try to makke it a dark anthracite, another boy already suggested this.

strange I just painted a bit over the texture templates, saved to texture folder, started up fs and..... no textures!
In FSDS it worked......

[DonAlfonsoRoKil]

here my current work status:
I found the error in 16bit bmp formatting! Here the texture templates applied:


But I'm a bit confused.... I just noticed that place is america,

OK, I understood. But actually I don't really care very much which airport....  ;D
Can someone rename my post?  ;)

Some more things I've done by now:
[list][*]I've overworked the tower's window's alpha channel. Now one can't look through the window frames as good as before....

[Fozzer]

The Tower, if released as a Scenery add-on would be very nice...

...but, PLEASE!...NO BLOODY BADGERS!, to spoil the object... ...!

A good, well designed "Sim V Tower", (and Sim V Hangers), would be very nice if they could be placed at ANY location.....!

If they could be installed into the the Abacus "EZ-Scenery" Library, that could be achieved!

F.....EZ-Scenery and LAGO FSE... 8-)...!

[DonAlfonsoRoKil]

I don't know how EZ scenery works and what it is, but generally this bgl scenery format has a fixed position.
I know there are ways to export the files to another format, but I'll have to try this out.

[DonAlfonsoRoKil]

I was really unsure if I should do it.
But then I decided that there are more people here on simV that have this avatar than people that have an Anti-Badger signature....
Im sorry you can't read what's written on the tower's top due to picture compression, but in FS you will be able to read this.
