FA08 - Polk City - Fantasy of Flight - Development update

[Dimus]

Yes, Nio, I'm afraid it's all your fault!

I don't regret it either, I just hope I will have the energy to get this going and reach some acceptable level of completeness.

I now completed the main complex to the level of detail I consider enough. As said the main entrance was rearranged slightly, added ramps and the US flag, as well as the FoF flag on the tower. I also added the winged globe shape and other artwork on the center entrance doors towards the ramp side.

I now intend to move on to the water tower.

Just amazing how nice this is shaping up! I particularly like the winged-shaped design elements around the doors leading to the ramp - just as they really are! The detail all around the entrance is also especially great!

Here is a nice overhead shot of part the Museum's layout including the water tower.

Thank you all for the pics. They all help.

I added a few more details around the entrance before moving to the water tower:

Looks awesome Dimus. Love how you modelled all those art deco details, even the outdoor seating looks a bit art deco.

[Dimus]

Yep, it seems everything is art deco here, even the seating:



It is a pleasure modelling everything in this place as there is not one dull object to make. Everything is beautiful. The water tower that I'm now doing is an awesome structure.

[Dimus]

This has been one of the most fun objects I have modelled and textured in my very short scenery making career:















The actual one has a beacon on top. Is it possible to include a flashing light on top of an object? Any help would be appreciated.

My 2 High schoolers go there every year for a field trip, Ive been there twice and I can tell you that this scenery is spot on. Great job and very well done.

It's just getting better and better, Dimus! It's awesome to see everything done to such a high level of detail and accuracy, with all of the structures scaled so well besides. I love the recent details of the accurately recreated guard posts, fences, and outdoor eating area.

Really beautiful scenery. We toured the museum back in 2007 between a business trip and visit with family.

Any chance this might also work with FS9??

Thanks

I have never made any scenery for FS9. I am creating all mdl files as FSX mdl and the airport bgls as FSX bgl from ADE. To be sure I would need to recompile all the models. I do have FS9 though, and I might as well test it at some point to see how it behaves.

Thank you all for your encouragement!

[WarHorse47]

And thank you for your talented work. Hope you can work something out for FS9.
