• 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.

Khartoum X

Hi all,

I have recently embarked to make a scenery of Khartoum X, which is very central airport in Middle East/East Africa region. I started the project in order to try make the scenery as much as possible without asking for help.

However despite my first plan i will need help in modeling of the Terminal building and placing of objects into the correct area's of the scenery. The additional modification offcoarse such as adding lighting. To be honest it is more decorating than developing so I would like anyone who has skills in Sketchup or placing objects into the right place at the scenery. :)

Things done already

-Photorealistic background
-All parkings are set according to real charts of HSSS
-All taxiways modified done


Things which still need to be done

-Development of Terminal building
-Development of surrouding houses (Which will be done by me)
-correct of scenery in ADE (Check the photo for referrence)

The only things i need help with is the development of terminal building and correction of the scenery in ADE according to the real scenery. For Referrence check the photo i have attached. :cool:



Best Regards,

SKippy
 
The mayor problem will be to get any kind of information of the terminal airport (mainly phtographs), and the airport layout, though you can get a good idea with google earth, but knowing and identifiying every building is complex indeed. I have taken a look at this airport and there are very little information (but not less that any other airport,indeed), though seem there are a remodelation proyect of the airport (with new terminal buildings, etc ) . I think that what you are frightened of is the Gmax modeling tool itself :D

haha Tejal thanks for the reply mate but I wouldn't start an airport if i wouldn't have a sets of photos. I happen to find about 45 photos which are extremely good. Show you the surroundings and the terminal building and most other buildings. I will do the buildings myself in sketchup and i have done already some..

Here is the link for anyone reading and not being sure...check the loads of pictures:D

the airport was plenty of airplanes, it's this airport a kind of hub ?

Yes it is a major hub for many airlines and i saw an opportunity to make this great airport. Most addons are focused on Europe and North America...and less on Africa and Asia...so i think it is a great diversification..

SIngapore Airlines Cargo between Nigeria and Singapore stopover at Khartoum
Turkish Airlines stopover in between flights to Mogadishu
Lufthansa flies
Qatar Airways
Egypt Air
KLM
Martinair Cargo

These are some of the visitors

Very right, I have a project for Africa, this would be the gulf of Guinea. But right now just a little airport which I am working on, right now is killing me, so it's enough for me.

Hey Ameer thanks for the shots they looking amazing you've done a wonderful job. I've not been as active as i should be because of university i hardly have anytime as i did before. However from the looks of the scenery all of major things are done. I have done the following
  • Fire Department of the airport building
  • Traffic bord or sign for motorway
  • White Hangar next to the IL-76
  • Little house next to the runway

I would like to send it to you so if you could pm me your mail i would send you the files and you can add them to the scenery. Also i will make a promotional video for the scenery and we can release it later on.

Best Regards,

Skippy
 
I think you all can concentrate on the ground polys, like runways, platforms, may be lights,roads. The buildings and phtoreal are great, could be a good proyect :cool:

-you are absolutely right ground poly and lighting is most challenge in any airport scenery, and it need GMAX which I'm still in learning session.
