Looks Fantastic!

[Peter T.]

Thanks skiflyzander! very appreciated ^^

[Sethesus]

Looks really good! Keep it up.

[Peter T.]

Thanks Sethesus! and everybody!

i am almost done with the terminal area and the parking marks. i hope you like it!

[OlaHaldor]

So, are the latest screenshot from in the simulator, or renderings?

[Peter T.]

they are X-Plane screenshots

i just refined the gate markings abit...the engine markings are now smaller and the texture is, more sharper? notice the new dirt effects

[karingka]

Looks good. IMO, the marking colours (red and yellow) are a bit too vibrant, and seem a bit repetitive, if you know what I mean.

[Peter T.]

i see, someone else said the same...i will flush out the colours soon, stay tuned!

[Peter T.]

is this slightly better?

[JohnMAXX]

I think you could still tone them down just a bit .....

Looking good Peter!

[Peter T.]

hmm, really? i think it looks okay right now

[karingka]

I think it's alright!

[Cameron]

Great job!

[Peter T.]

thank you guys! unfortunately i need to stop developing this week, because i have many assignment and tests. next week is holiday so i get to continue and maybe complete it~!

[Peter T.]

sorry about being inactive in this thread-here are the new updates->

-new vehicles and default static ACs to populate the airport

-i just made up a new Aerobridge Livery for the XPFW 737 and i will use that plane along with the livery for the rest of the previews

[Peter T.]

added more detail to the ground textures hope you like it! (still v9-and no;

[Peter T.]

well...i sorta slacked out abit... so nothing new, but some more texture manipulations as you can see here (yes that dirt is ugly) tomorrow i will try to force myself into modelling again <3

Not sure what kind of accuracy you're going for; but looking over Google imagery I'm still noticing differences in the paint lines around the gates- yours still look too bold, maybe try 2/3 or 1/2 width? In most of the imagery I'm looking at they're hardly noticeable compared to the taxi lines and such.

[Peter T.]

thanks Kaphias, i have updated the ground markings, the lines are thinner and the resolution is sharper-

and the terminal area itself as well

also, the terminal itself has been lowered, the height is pretty off the scale, as well the gates are also modified so it will have a wider spacing between the walls of the walkway...

actually, that doesn't make sense so let the pictures do the talking

[Peter T.]

so i have been working on the ground textures for awhile and the result is pretty good, i just need to add more of a worn out look on the taxiway, and add runway markings, and add grass decals in v9 using .pols...after doing all those i will start with modelling other facilities, plus do something that will make the airport feel active

night lighting of course, the jetway lit is still a WIP and everything else so don't worry, its not final yet!

[Peter T.]

remade the jetways, old model on top, new model on the bottom

[Peter T.]

here is the last preview of the jetways, next set of previews will focus on ground detail and other buildings

[ShaneMontoya]

Brilliant ground textures. Looking forward to the scenery.

Thanks.
