Colin S Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Finally I'm getting my scenery building operation back on its feet (for the fourth time in one year). I've going to completely stop promising anything, unless I'm a great deal into it already. Period. End of story. Anyways, I started working with the Lego Bricks stuff... and wow do I ever love that... a lot! it's great! So, I decided, "I should build an airport that I'm familiar with but someone might actually want." I wanted to combine the Lego Bricks with Orthophotos, so KBLI was ideal with some decent resolution orthos available from your friendly federal government on a public domain license. I have only one picture so far, and it really shows nothing. I want to make this airport not only look real but also feel real, because I've spent more time around airports recently and I realized how dead X-Plane airports feel sometimes. Happy 2013! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris k Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 There's an existing KBLI from RoyalOak for v9. Ive had good success in allowing derivation rights form him. (NZCH is a good example) You could use his objects to help 'flush out' the scenery as well. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought.If you are referring to the copy available on X-Plane.org I would like to remind you that (1) I am banned from that community and also (2) I'm creating this one because the one that I did download from X-Plane.org felt a bit old, sort of v9.30 standard level stuff. I want to create something new, and even if there is an existing version I want to get my skills up but still be slightly useful (it's sort of like saying "but CYVR has already been built by Inside Passage" when I say it's my eternal goal, it's just not modern or current).Thanks for the heads up though!Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin S Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Slowly it comes together, bit by bit. I just finished the taxiway edge lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
