Howard Aero Hangar

While I'm waiting to see if Arno knows what is causing the error message, here are a few shots of what North Texas Regional actually looks like:

Hi Ed,

Which software are you using to do this? I really have to figure this out so I can make my local airport look somewhat presentable.

Thanks,

Ken

Several, actually. I use Sketchup for building the custom objects, MCX to convert the 3D model to a bgl scenery object, Instant Scenery3 to actually place the objects in the Sim, ADE for all the basic airport structure (runways, taxiways, ramps, etc). I also use SceneryBuilderX to find suitable satellite images and to do any seasonal ground textures, night textures and so on.

I'm glad I mentioned North Texas Regional, because that looks great, and it'd be fun to be able to fly out of there!

This is very beautiful, and here I am breaking my head to do the DOC Hangar in Wichita.

That looks excellent Mario. Quite an undertaking with all the interior work you're doing. That's what my hangars usually lack. . .all the I-Beams and interior offices,etc. Very nice work!

It's a very under-used Airport for it's size actually. What you see parked out there is about all you'd see on a daily basis, give or take a few. Back in the day the area where the 172's are parked had lines of T-33's. . .the main ramp was row after row of F-102's and the smaller ramp farther up had Transient T-37's from Sheppard AFB. The main hangars are still the original hangars as is the Control Tower albeit with several face lifts over the years and the area on the west side of the runways was the Engine Test Pad (No Hush House). As I mentioned in a previous post at the very north end where I placed the Howard Aero Hangar was the location for the Alert Hangar. It housed two "loaded" F-102s (assigned to North American Air Defense Command) along with the Crew Chiefs and Pilots. Quite a busy place back in the 50's and 60's.

Most impressive work with scenery and objects, gentlemen!

Ed, if released separately, would the Howard hanger be something that could be used with Airport Design Editor? I've played around with it a bit on a couple of fictional airports. That hanger would look great on the banks of Reelfoot Lake with some float/seaplane ramps. I need someplace out of the weather to work on the Sikorskys.

The answer would be yes you can, however I have never used ADE for object placement so I can't tell you how it needs to be installed in order to work.

I guess when it's released, some experimenting might be in order.

It's available now Willy. . .showed up this morning early.
