Airport BATs

[+Guest]

Hey, guys

I just want to show what i've found yesterday. It might be useful in creating custom airpot bats.
Real airport sceneries for FS2004. They are buyable, but there is a lot of screenshots.
 
Here is a link:

Thanks for that marrast, thats really neat. I'm gonna try some of that stuff. It has given me an idea. How many of you would use an airport prop pack? Like all the ground vehicles and maybe (if my modelling improves) even some planes. Just wanted to know if people would use that?

I'll keep it short. The render screwed up, I have started terminal again and already nightlights are fixed. 200m instead of 500m because that is still over 12 tiles. Looks better. Still gonna have bus stations and bridges. Modern design (modern metally stuff along the front). Need someone to transit enable, contact me.

Thanks now get out!

Here is a picture of my latest work. I think my BATting has definently improved! Comments? Suggestions?

 Still much more to do!

[DaMaster_architect 0]

doesn't look bad at all! Although some detail would be recommended, but this looks already good

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

This bad-boy is pretty much ready to go. In some previous render attempts, the triangles at the front were cut off in the LE and the bus station and bridge were completly gone in the LE... I will see what happens with this in the LE and ask for help if I need it. In the event that it does happen, does anyone know what to do?

Anyway, here is a picture of my progress...

 

 

It may need another computer to render (*looks for volunteers*). I need to do more at the back like entrances for the service vehicles and gas tanks, some of which may be done in the lot editor,  but compared to my first BAT (see STEX) I think I have improved a lot. Comments, suggestions and queries very welcome and enjoyed!

 

Thanks!

It's rendered and thanks to Frogface's help, it now works in the LE and has been lotted, I'm off to test in game and take a picture and it should be uploaded tonight!!!

Due to my feelings as well as some reflected by other members, I am making a new terminal. I feel rather disappointed as I think I could have done better with the terminal, I am eager to move onto this new one and I have already started on it. I have a picture of it, here:

Of course it's still a long way from finished, but tell me what you think. Do you think that glass canopy is too extravagant? The only part textured so far is the supports, the roof and the canopy. Tell me if you like the textures.

 

Thanks,

WOW!!  Its looking good so far!  Can't wait to see it when you get alittle more detail to it... Keep it going!

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

I have not been doing much work recently, just to keep you posted. I'll show you some pictures once I get further into the project.

Has anybody looked at

Our colleagues over at inSimms.de are also working on some airport BATs.

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

Cool, thanks for that! I know none of my stuff can match that, but it inspired me to try a more modern one too and here's what I got.

The walls aren't done and the textures are little big, suggestions and comments will help this one. Thanks!

 

EDIT: I found this image of someone's model airport and decided that this would be a good one to try and build. I will hopefully be doing this at a later date.

 

Here is the link to the image: http://img143.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img143&image=modernterminaltotry4nm.png

 

Thanks again!

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

Here is my most recent work on the terminal.

I would appreciate comments and suggestions on this. Do you like the textures? Is the design good?

 

Thanks

[frogface 354]

looks interesting ,i suggest putting some framework under that glass?

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

I did some more work and took Frogface's advice and put supports on the front shelter. I tried to make the supports fit in with the modern design and I think it looks good, but I need your comments on it. I also added a walk way on the roof, it's quite hard to do roof junk on a glass roof but I'm going to have a lowered flat gravel section of the roof. Comments please!

I'm looking forward to these releases. They look great!

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

I have done quite a bit more work on this and I hope you will like the result. And now, before I give you a picture I would like to ask if anyone who can transit enable would be willing to do this. You would be transit enabling a road that would pass underneath the front shelter and possibly even infront of it. Please post of you would be willing. Thanks.

Well, here it is. The changes have been quite considerable as I extended it further back. The right centre part is going to be a maintenance side with the roof junk, and the left centre side will hopefully be a cafe/plane spotters deck. I added traffic islands and those two gaps behind and in front of the islands is where I would like it to be transit enabled.

 

Thanks again!

Nice work so far, the detail is certainly increasing! I'd suggest making the roof a tad more transparent and the canopy at the front of the builing needs some horrizontal iron bars, to give it that extra realism. other than that. Comming along nicely.

well done!

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

Thanks for your comments and suggestions 6underground! I'm going to add in horizontal bars a bit later. I have had very acute RLS recently, but I've got over it and I'm back on track. So as usual, here's a picture of my latest work, I think the cafe tables came out well and the cat walks on the roof are what I'm proud of too.

Anyway, here it is:

I need someone to do nightlights because I suck at them! Lol, so if you want to help out with this in anyway just drop me a PM or leave a post saying you want to help and what you would like to do. Transit enabling and nightlights are what I would most like help with, but if you would like to do something to help out, tell me and I'll get back to you.

 

Thanks for your support guys!

Swamper77 has very kindly offered to do Transit Enabling on the front of the building. There will be dual one-way roads on either side of the islands. In the meantime I still need someone to help out with night lights. I'll do them if necessary but they won't look good. Here is a picture of my work on the air-side of the terminal:

 

I'll be putting details inside the departure lounge, and I would like to have lights from inside lighting up the inside at night only. My problem is that either I light up the window and nothing inside or the lights inside don't go off they stay on all day. I need help with these lighting problems and the rest I'm ok with. Just the gates and roof-junk left and a few details inside. I'll fix the planes on this one!

 

Thanks

[your_adress_here 11]

Looks great! I really like all your BATs!

[MTLT_17 27]

are you going to be making arms that extend off the terminal for the gates? I think it would make it much better (personally) also could you add a 360 degree looking contol tower coming out from the middle section? That would be awesome!!!

 

-MTLT

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

I will be doing the arms yes and the control tower is a nice idea...I might try that. Thanks for the comments!

@Your_address_here: Oh now your making me blush

[dawidoff 1]

I think the terminal should heve glass walls with better textures, have good size - not be too large.

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

Thank you for your ideas dawidoff. And also thank you for the label dirk or whoever decided to give me one, most unexpected and a great surprise. So I have been doing details mainly and the gates.

 

You can see seats and desks inside and what you can't see is an HSBC logo on the side of those bridges, I got the idea from seeing logos for banks and stuff on the side of jetways. Really all that's left is patching up some stuff, roof junk and I need someone to do lights. I am hopeless and if anyone would be willing I would be most grateful indeed.

 

Thanks again!

-Muzz

 

P.S Woooo 600th post!

[ramvid01 0]

that looks awesome!

[MTLT_17 27]

Hey man, that looks good, but i think I missworded my question about the gates, I ment to say concourses. Like the ones in this pic...

 

I hope that explains it better, and if you coudl incororate that into the project that would be sooooo awesome!

 

BTW love da name dirk and the admins gave ya!

It's a possibility, but probably not in this one, however I've already started sketching the next one and that one will have concourses. Here's a link to a site for a model airport where I got the idea for the new building from:

 

http://www.aeronautic.dk/Model%20airport.html

 

Take a look at the sweet designs! I'm going to be trying some terminal buildings like this!

 

@stig fig: The stairs are supposed to be for roof maintenance, checking the glass and stuff like that.

 

Thanks for the support guys!

Wow it's been awhile since I've been here, and your BATting skills have improved very much, and the link with the model airport  was awesome, I hope to have a model airport like that someday[:0]
