Manchester Airport 1975 scenery project
Posted: 03 Dec 2007, 21:53
Hi Chaps
I've not been around much lately, all my FS time has been spent playing about with scenery.
I didn't expect to get this far so quickly, but it's soon built up into what I think is a half decent 1975 Manchester Airport.
Using AFCAD for the airport layout, FSDS3 for making the buildings & EZ-Scenery to place the buildings inside FS.
I think that does mean it's FS2004 only scenery, not FSX.
It's not amazing detail scenery, with all the bells & whistles. Simple but effective is what I'm aiming at.
View from Pier B looking at the 1970s revamped terminal building & tower, with multi storey car park behind. You'd have to supply your own 70s AI aircraft.
View looking out the other way from Pier B, showing the good old black sheds rather than a second runway.
Taxiing out past the domestic Pier A, showing the cargo hangars.
Pier B and beyond. Showing the fire station, the old Fairey Engineering works plus other assorted large hangars and the row of trees next to the taxi way for runway 06.
Parked at Pier A to show the terminal & tower from the other side.
The Jumbo pier (opened 1974) from the terminal end of pier B.
There may well be a first attempt at release before Christmas.
Cheers
