Hey everyone,
First of all Merry Christmas! I'm a recent member of the forums here and although I haven't posted much I've been reading here with much interest. A couple of weeks ago I decided to do something that I had wanted to do for a long time...design some scenery! This is my first ever project and I still have lots to learn to keep up with the rest of you in here. I had been spending alot of time at Jim Dhaenens' excellent NAS Pensacola flying the T-6 and working in the local NOLFs. I decided that one of the NOLFs could use a facelift and since it seemed like an easy place to start I began working on Choctaw NOLF which is near NAS Pensacola. In real life I believe this is the only military NOLF capable of handling the T-6A/B landing requirements and recently finished a runway extension for this purpose. I haven't delved into designing my own custom buildings or 3d objects so everything you see is default objects or other libraries. Thanks to Jim especially for helping me with a few things and donating the E-28 cables and FCLP markings. I'm still working on several things including figuring out how to make my blend mask work but I thought I'd post a few shots here. Comments and constructive criticism is more than welcome...again this is my first ever project so sorry that the quality is not up to some of the other stuff I've seen around here. I do plan on releasing this when it comes to a point that I'm fully proud of and I also will probably ask for some beta testers from here as well. Anyway enjoy!
