I am an airport owner, How can you improve airport scenery so it is realistic

Post by nski96 »

My family owns Bellefonte Airport N96. I just got V4 and a newbie. Our airport is not depicted very well at all. Is there a way to improve this. Is there someone I can contact about learning how. Is there a person that would volunteer to talk to me on the phone about it. So we don't have to type alot. I can be contacted at the airport phone number and could set a time for a phone call.

You could make a freeware addon available by using tools like Airport Design Editor. Or you could commission a competent Airport designer to do it for you. You'll find lots of help available at https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/

Hello,

A big hurdle in developing an airport is getting good photos that can be used as textures for the various structures. As much as possible, every façade should be photographed 'straight on'. I'd suggest putting together a brief portfolio, examples of what you could provide along with other pertinent info. Although your families' airport is a bit smaller than most current Orbx projects, it would not hurt to write to Orbx directly. There is a link you can use on the OrbxDirect website.

Good luck,

I requested a couple of airports from Orbx for their freeware Global Airport pack. KLNC-Lancaster, TX and KJSO-Cherokee County Airport-Jacksonville, TX(my home town) and they did both of them. They did a very good job on them, I was impressed.

I could try to make it match Google Earth , if that would work for you .
