Vintage Heathrow scenery...possible!?

Post by Metalmaster »

I purchased this document a few months ago, lovely item, which I treasure very much,
among my other vintage Heathrow
related memorabilia.
Following these plans, would it be possible for a scenery designer to
recreate the whole area, including the North side!?
no need for specific textures on the buildings, I have some great
red brick textures here, ;) for the main ones, it would be great just great to have this
recreated in FS9 and /or FSX...anybody interested!? I could provide the scanned plans/views...
pleaaazzz!?!;)

Hi Rui :hello:

This scenery is already in existance. Pop over to CalClassics (www.calclassics.com), click on scenery then scroll down and you'll see it ;) I think the link takes you to AVSIM :)

One word of caution..
If you have anything other than default UK terrain, you may end up with lakes at the begining of 27R and 09R :worried: Both north and south sides are recreated ;)

Hi Rui..

You may be missing some textures. I had a couple of areas showing untextured but managed to fix it when pointed in the right direction. All buildings there should be textured. Can you post a screenshot?? Wolfgang often visits here so he may be able to advise ;)

Hi Rui

I'm guessing you might be running the scenery in FSX in DX10 mode ?

buildings will be white in DX10 preview mode

Regards
Rick
