I've started working on the ortho-underlay for KFMY. Thanks to Chris K I managed to keep WED 1.2 from crashing as I placed the ortho TIFFs and downsampled to 4096 pixels. I took a look in X-Plane, and my jaw dropped. It looks so life-like. Here's what they look like without any manipulation: I plan to remove some buildings and shadows and "lay some sod" around Base Ops, as the photo was taken during its construction. Then, I will probably DDS these, as I did notice that having 6 4096px PNGs absolutely killed my FPS with textures rendering at "very high." Once this update is finished, I'm moving on to...ahem...the international airport.

I too was attempting to work with USGS ortho TIFF files downloaded directly from the map viewer. Each file is 15,000 pixels square. I'm not having alpha issues, but when I load them in WED 1.2 (beta) in order to snap them on their coordinates, WED crashes. Is this a memory issue, or a file issue. The former orthos downloaded via email from USGS worked in WED.

I'm texturing this based on what I saw on Google Street View. This going to work for you, or do you want it a standard beige. And do you want GI lighting attached to the building?

What kind of doors/ type of hangar is it? And where? I could use the same texture I sent you to model one that size. I like to see a pic if possible.

Have you ever tried overlaying monochromatic noise in the orthos using photoshop, particularly on the hard surfaces? I noticed in the ortho I was working on (similar to yours above) that the WED lines had so much more texture than the ortho underneath.

I may be dreaming. As it is right now in xp10, one can file a flight plan and request IFR clearance using a valid radio frequency. The specifics of the flight plan are determined in the ensuing dialogue box in X-Plane. Using this same set-up and the valid frequency for one's airport, what would it take to request a VFR departure (with a destination selected), or a simple traffic pattern for touch-and-go's. Either way, especially for most controlled airports, the steps (and programming ) are the same as currently exists with IFR, just without a radar following, and vectors. For example: 1. Request Clearance. (same) 2. Request Taxi. (same) 3. Receive Take Off Clearance (same, including a departure heading) 4. Hand-off (same) --proceed to destination-- 5. Request Approach (the possibility could exist within a certain NM range of the declared destination??) 6. Request Landing Clearance (same) 7. Receive Landing Clearance. (same) 8. Receive Taxi instructions (same) Is this possible, or feasible?

File Name: KFMY - Page Field - Fort Myers, Florida File Submitter: 3TB File Submitted: 10 Jan 2013 File Category: DSF Scenery Packages X-Plane Version(s): X-Plane 10 Page Field (KFMY) is a popular GA airport in Fort Myers, Florida. If you are into GA flying, or business jets as large as 727s, this is the hub for you. Page Field is also a great airport for cross country flying. Located in Southwestern Florida, it's easily accessible to Orlando, Lakeland, Tampa, St. Pete, Palm Beach, Vero, Miami, Key West, Naples, and it's nearby companion, KRSW. My goal was to make this airport as realistic as possible for the sake of "feeling at home" and for practicing IFR cross country procedures. Contents Completely accurate airport layout 26 Custom Objects, accurately representing facilities including Base Ops (FBO), hangars, tarmac layout, parking lots, etc. Multiple starting points for single/multi-prop and jets, including hangar space and tie-down spots. Starting points on all runway entrances. Global lighting attached to every building. Accurate, named ATC paths Taxiway and Runway signs Most up-to-date Airport Diagram (PDF) Requires X-Plane 10 OpenSceneryX for aircraft population only (can be removed using WED 1.2) Object Rendering Settings at "tons" for full airport To Do List (for future version) Bump Maps on all objects Finish modeling 5 remaining hangars Model surrounding shopping centers, etc. Ortho-photo of all grassy areas on airport premises This is my first airport scenery for X-Plane. I used WED 1.2, Blender 2.63, and Photoshop. I am grateful for so many of you who have posted invaluable how-to information. Please let me know if you have any issues or problems. Also, if you would like to use any of my custom objects, please feel free--and let me know! I'd also be happy to customize any, if I am able. Click here to download this file

Page Field is POSTED!!! After 4 months of work, Page Field is complete. Download and enjoy. Also, please let me how I can improve. I modeled and textured all objects (and lights) using Blender and a text editor. As far as OBJ8 specifications go, I learned as I went. I did my best to incorporate all objects using one texture file. However, to do so, and to save texture space, I struggled with the vertices count. How high is too high? Anyway, let me know if anything sticks out to your trained eye.

If any of you would like to test KFMY on your system/version of x-plane, please message me and I'll send you a link. I'm all done, and will be posting the file this week, perhaps tomorrow if no issues.

I saw that KEKQ has two row hangars and I measured them in Google Earth (really handy tool for sure!). They are 70m (230ft) x 16m (52ft). The hangar in the photo I posted is the same size. Yours if you want it.

NR, what size do you need? I have made custom row hangars for my KFMY scenery, of varying length. If you are interested, let me know the length/width in meters and the general color (light or dark beige). I may be able to customize it for you.
