Port Elizabeth Airport (FAPE) SOUTH AFRICA cOMPILED BY : PETER H WILKINS SEP 2011 - ZIP FILE NAME [FAPE_PHW_VER1.0]
Hello Flight Sim Community
Background
This is my first offering of scenery that I have worked on and compiled. I am very new to scenery design and I still have lots to learn. To the serious designers out there please excuse if not 100% correct but I have tried to capture FAPE as close as possible to the real thing with very limited resources. I have never even been to Port Elizabeth Airport so all info has been gleamed from photos and Google Earth. I have been so frustrated over the pastcouple of years due to the serious lack of plenty of South African Airports.Port Elizabeth probably ranking as the most important of those. I have decided to stop moaning and to try and do something myself, which I will share with you guys and girls out there.
I started in June this year teaching myself to try and design scenery. That wonderful program Airpot Design Editor has proved such an inspiration to me and I can't thank John Masterson enough for his wonderful creation.Google sketch has also helped with the creation of some of the buildings which I did from scratch sometimes with only a partial picture to work from.
Google sketch up is a wonderful tool to use and I am becoming better each day with its mechanics.I am still not sure how to do night lighting in buildings and if anyone can give me some tips I will be more than grateful.The scenery is all going to be for FS9 only at this stage. I will be upgrading my computer in December and will also install FSX and thus i will then release all sceneries for both platforms.I will probably continue to work on this scenery and will release updates as and when completed. I look forward to any suggestions, assistance or help from wherever. Look forward to hearing from you guys.
