Simviation Airport

[cspyro21]

Looks nice Cspyro...I guess the question is whether we want a conventional airport design (like yours) or a radical one (like mine)...Which does everyone prefer?  Personally I'd like to have a very "different" airport for the V...but that's just my opinion...

- Kevin

You got a good point Kevin - perhaps we could compromise somewhere? (e.g. some parts conventional and some radical)?

Definately...personally I think it would be cool to have the two runways in a "V" shape...that would make for some crazy approaches .

This idea is going great guns now, however on yours kevin what if two people are landing from the join of the v end? Could get a bit too close for comfort, but i think you have the better idea in terms of more spaces.

I do like Charlies idea of the two types of runways, but there doesn't seem to be enough parking spaces,

Nice layout there Kevin!  8-)

I've exntended on my normal layout and I've added a military-like part, could make for some 'different' approaches...

That's the point, Stuart...there would be some interesting approaches with two runways right by each other like that .

[cspyro21]

Or both?  We could have two SIMV airports on two sides of the globe...

- Kevin

Now that would be great! That way we could have both our own designs and then we could fly between one and the other 8-)

Sorry missed a trick there Kevin

Why not try to have an approach like Kai Tak?

[murjax]

I am making a prototype. If you like it, we can use it. Screenshots coming soon.  :)

I think it would be cool to have two of them.  Since the US and Europe seem the most popular, we could have one in each country.  Where is the one you are creating right now located Charlie?  Mine is outside of Las Vegas.

Maybe we could even have a repainter draw up some SIMV paints and put AI flying between them .  That would be awesome!

I look forward to seeing your idea Murjax...this is getting good .

- Kevin

Erhm.. Europe Ain't a Country.. But I know what you mean..
But it sounds like a cool idea with the AI!
There have to be some spitfires flying upside down around the airport, and buzzing the taxiing aircraft!

The members from FS2004.com have already begun their own little home-airport project just like this. I already volunteered to create a race track for them. I can start making one for you guys, if you like. All I'll need is the general coordinates of the SimV airport.

Here is a set of shots for the FS2004.com race track. This particular track is basically a small island that will be situated next to the custom-made islands that the developers from FS2004.com will make from scratch. You'll notice the docking port in the south side of the track.

From Gmax. Using a shot of the AFCAD as a backdrop to model and place the bridges.


I'll post a preliminary for the SimV race track soon.

Where is the one you are creating right now located Charlie?

I haven't located it yet Kevin but I was thinking of southern France (I like flying in France - also the Alps would only be a short flight away  8-)).

I am not sure about the idea of two SimV airports. First of all only one can have the ID of SIMV and things can get confusing.

Murjax, you have a good point...perhaps we could use the airport ID as "SIM1", "SIM2" etc or "V001", "V002" if we were going to have two airports.

Nice track Kat! Perhaps we should have out own track incorporating the "V" idea that Kevin has in his airport...  ;D
