The Oceanic plane and the new bizjet is released, but it has a temporary location in the manual install thread, and does not have a .EXE installer.

Why?  I've been having problems with images, meaning even if I put manual on the STEX it won't work.  The images are displayed as "3D Exploration Scene."  I don't have that program (anymore) but it annoys me.

Expect to see this on the STEX very soon:

Hope you guys like it!

They look great Muzz! Very nice hangers.

[freedo50 1]

wow those are cool - very stylish. im nopt sure there are any real world hangars so well designed, but meh, who cares? nice one!

[Kack 0]

Here in Denmark in copenhagen airport. One of the hangars looks like that. Very cool. But I think it shuld be bigger.

Sorry for double posting.

I've maked two lots the airport team maby can use in an Airport Pack (for example).

The first one is a control tower. Remember i'm almost new to BAT, so what do you think? Can you use it?

And a close-up of the tower:

And then i've maked this (II'm not sure what it is, but I think it's a radar or something. It is in evry airport):

Kack: That's ILS (instrument landing system) glideslope transmitter. Note that it's only part of ILS, not all of it. ILS also includes a radio stack grid right in the ALS (approach lighting systems) that provide localization alignment for incoming plane.

[pilotdaryl 25]

Blahdy: You mean a localizer?

[GMT 389]

yep, it's a localizer

[Kack 0]

Oh okay. Thank you guys. I fly flight simulator and I can land planes with ILS. But i didn't know that it was a part of it. When you are goeing to land planes you got a runway approach (for example 109.90), is it that? Hehe sorry for the stupid questions.

[cowkilla 12]

ive always wondered about these things. are these just eyecandy or actual modular airports which planes land on?

Localizer is installed in the ALS area where your approach lights are.

The model that Kack worked on is Glideslope, not localizer.

[pilotdaryl 25]

I meant the radio staxk grid.

And ILS has more than that, it has the ALS, Marker Beacons, and the such.

[blahdy 21]

yes, that's what was referring to, and yup, ILS is a more indepth than even what i described, which i already mentioned

The hangar is on the STEX. Goes live on the next publishing cycle! Yay!

EDIT: Which was about a second after I first posted this, it's on now!

[pilotdaryl 25]

Not only that, another hangar is in the works by you-know-who:

It looks older compared to Muzzy's and it will fit on a 3x3 tile.  It will fit a midprop. 

EDIT:

This shot will go to my CJ Manchester.  As for Nicholson it is currently on hold.

I made a mistake in the GIMP, so it may not be perfect.  However, this shot will be re-edited before going to Manchester,

Ya, thanks, Muzzy.

Attention: After many weeks of problems, I have finally got the Oceanic plane and the new bizjet on the STEX.  Should appear soon.

EDIT: You may have not seen me for a while, but despite I am not good at BATting, I have been working on this:

It's made by a fictional German/American airplane company I call "Minsk."  The plane is called the Minsk 320-300.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Minsk 320 family-Overview:

The Minsk 300 family is a series of short range and regional airliners manufactured mainly during the Jet Age.

The Minsk 320-100/Minsk 320-RJ1 was the smallest of all models, and it was one of a few aircraft with only one jet engine.  The 320-100 started the 320 family.  The prototype was built in 1957, and it entered service 1959.  It was uesd mostly for short Regional flights.  As of now, the 320-100 is no longer in service.

The Minsk 320-200/Minsk RJ2 is an improved version of the 320-100, entering service in 1969.  It had two engines instead of one, for longer range and faster speed.  It also was more popular than the 320-100.  That's why service continues today, though it is no longer manufactured..  There are only 4 airlnes using the 320-200 today, mostly airlines of northern Canada and Alaska, so it is facing retirement with the new Minsk 455-200 coming out.

The Minsk 320-300 (shown above) is a short range airliner, an improved version of the 320-200 that was introduced in 1974.  It had more capacity with the longer fuselage and introduced the newly developed General Motors 612-Turbospeed Engine, soon to be used on the Mdouble-decker Minsk 350 some years later.  It ended production in 1999, though a lot of these still operate today.

The Minsk 320-F300 was introduced in 1975 as a freight version for the 320-300.  It is used by most frieght airlines for reaching smaller destinations mostly on the West Coast and in the Rockies.

The Minsk 320-400, introduced in 1984 is an improved version of the ever-so-popular Minsk 320-300.  It included better instruments and had several major improvements from the earlier versions.  It is the only plane in the 320 family still in production, but will retire in early 2007 as part of the new Minsk 455-600 project.

There was a plan for another plane in the 320 family- the 320-500 but that was moved to the 340 family.

Great work so far! Looks fantastic!

[pilotdaryl 25]

Here is the 707 jetway model at current stages:

A separate version will be made for the midjet, two types of dual jetways (the conventional one, and one for concourse outer corners and concourse ends).

Please, no disputes between mine and Ace's pack.  This is not new, it is a re-release of the airport pack I released earlier this year, which only makes your game crash.

[xiziz 11]

It is with great sorrow i come to announce my resignation from "The Airport Team".

I feel that this is'nt heading in the direction i thought it was going when i first teamed up with the group of great batters you all are. Could you please remove me from your roster, as i fear im not coming back.

Although i will still be working on Bats and such for my Journal, and a few are bound for STEX, im not really that intressted in making things im not personaly in need of on my free time. As that is prettey sparce and ive just started my last year in collage im going to aim high there and focus the time i spend batting on what i really need batted.

Its been a nice time working with you guyes and i bid you a prosperous future and a loud farewell.

*Hands in letter of Resignation*

[pilotdaryl 25]

Goodbye, Xiziz.  We wish you good luck in your endeavours.

So comes another resignation.  We still have a number of people---and I saw Ill Tonkso's terminal in this thread (Unfortunately dead, sigh.), but if we're lucky he might come in (or most likely not).

[Yoman3 5]

Some nice work here.

PS is the current list of members accurate?

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

I'm afraid I have to agree with Xiziz, and I too am going to resign. It was good while it lasted, but it had the same problem as SimWings, hardly anything ever got released. And, I feel that we have become annoying in the eyes of the public, in that there have been many mistakes and disagreements involving claiming members to be in the group when they really haven't... I don't want to be a affiliated with a group like that I'm afraid. Daryl, you have tremendous potential with BATting and Modding, so don't give up. I'm not going to give up, I'll probably just go solo now... I hope you can salvage what is left Daryl, best of luck.

[pilotdaryl 25]

[sighs] There goes another one.  That means I'm the only active member left and I'm going to be very busy within the next few... weeks?  Or months?  With Muzzy resigning, I'll probably drop one of my projects, most likely MUNUFPro, and since most other members have not been active since, I may end up going solo.

We wish you good luck in your endeavours, Muzzy.

To let everyone know, due to the Simlympic events I won't be active for the next few days or so.

But to let everyone know, the next release is the X-marked Taxiways and Runways pack.

EDIT:Closed Runways and Taxiways pack Icons and modding are done.  Next step is in-game testing...

Don't worry Muzz and other Construction AJ people---it'll be out soon.

[Kack 0]

Looking forward to them pilotdaryl. Maybe I would join the team

[pilotdaryl 25]

Well, you joined us, Kack!

A pic of his latest project:

I know, our latest pack is delayed, but with reasons.

And so I've been fiddling around with the Closed Runways and Taxiways pack.  It is ready enough that I will be able to post it today.  Just one more thing though... 

The Closed Runway and Taxiway shelf should be hitting the shelves right about...

Now.
