• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSXA KBTV - Burlington Intl

Hey all,

I have been following the forums for quite a long time, and have used all the great suggestions and the search tool numerous times on various projects. My name is Dustin, I'm from Vermont and am a moderately okay designer. I progress as I go, and wanted to start showing the progress I make on my next scenery.

This is Burlington Intl Airport, located near Lake Champlain in Vermont. Its a smaller airport, servicing some A320s, E170's, and other regional jets coming LGA, PHL, JFK, ORD, DTW, DCA and some others.

This first building I've done is the FAA building with attached control tower. The tower was standard FSX, but actually is almost identical to the RW tower, so I am going to use that. Day textures are done, working on night. Once the buildings are done, I will do the ground scenery. Just a note, this is not the correct location for the building, just there for previewing and testing.

Software I am using is gmax and Photoshop. Objects will be placed with ISv2. Thanks for looking and comments or suggestions welcome.


Dustin

That is some fine modeling and texture work sir! :cool:

The inset doorways and shadowing look very real life...
 
Thanks Bill. I greatly admire your work. I just looked again and noticed some windows weren't lined up, will fix that. Would volume shadowing make a big difference with this? I hadn't tried it, and might give it a try.
 
Try it and see. I think it might prove to be a bit of over-kill, but I'm not really much into scenery design myself, although I have dabbled in it on occasion... ;)
 
Here is the next building, an old hangar that was turned into a utility building. The attachment does really do justice to the textures, but the windows have blinds, and the red wooden planks are worn.
