Could someone with scenery experience model the new Okaloosa air terminal at KVPS left out by Microsoft? It is located at KVPS (Eglin AFB) Florida. I have links to images of the new terminal if somone can help. I'm not asking for whole airport scenery, just the terminal itself.
if somone can help.
FS2004...

Yeah I wish I knew how to do scenery too. It's a shame that the old terminal isn't even in FS2004. FSD had made scenery for FS95 for the Okaloosa Air Terminal and most of the surrounding area and Noel Krieger made it for FS98. Can't believe no one has done it since then. One of those two I think even had all the condos and hotels over in Destin. I know someone was making military AI for the panhandle but I haven't heard from him lately so I don't know if he got deployed or something.

Thanks for a reply, I was afraid no one would notice. And yes it is ashame that the old terminal isn't there. KVPS is my home airport (I live in Valparaiso, aircraft fly over my house landing Rwy19 :D). Okaloosa airport has just completed a major terminal expansion project. I am looking for anyone that has any scenery design knowledge that can help. Its no fun that Micro$oft left it out. My ai aircraft also have no gate to park at and the real airport has 6 of them.

Could anyone help?

This site has images of the completed terminal for anyone who can help.

That's Cool! ;D

I have created an AFCAD of KVPS, it is fairly accurate. It's a whole lot better than the FS2004 default one. I've made many adjustments to it, such as ramp sizes, taxiways, parking, tower view, and radio frequencies to more realistic levels based upon diagrams and sattelite photos (www.Terraserver.com). I have even corrected runway lengths to correct values and added real taxi names such as D1 and D2 near the terminal. The 33rd site still needs a little work, it used to be grass surfaces for some reason micro$oft did. I changed it to correct surface textures and added some parking there, but i do not know how many aircraft are there so I just added as many I can fit there. (If you look past the terminal on SR 85

Is there anyone with any scenery design would like to help still?

Hopefully I can upload my AFCAD and rwy12 scenery soon, its not totally finished. Still working and redoing some other areas that weren't accurate at all. :)

Anyone? I would really appreciate some help. I have no scenery design knowledge at all.

My KVPS afcad is now finished and can email it to anyone for testing if anyone would like before I upload it.
