    Koh Samui Airport VTSM  - Image 1

    Description

    Koh Samui airport in the gulf of siam, Thailand. I have flown through there about 50 million times so its a good one to do.

    First things first. Removal of the completely oversized surrounding Ai buildings which should not be any higher than a coconut tree. (samui regulations)

    Big Buddha Model added. An old model that i made a year ago, when i had no clue about vertex counts , demeshing or texturing. Model size reduced from 56 MB to 6 MB. (to be worked on)

    Full airport rework coming with correct stand numbers and taxiways, runway markings and buildings

    V1 SU7

    Projected Mesh taxiway lines (my very first attempt). The lines are a bit wide (90cm) instead of IRL (45cm). But the wider the better the resolution with less jagged edges

    Gates / terminal updates with clocktower and promenade

    Gates 1,2,3  Domestic Departures

    Gate 4 Domestic Arrivals with baggage carousel

    Gate 5 International Arrivals with baggage carousel

    Gate 6 International departures

    Biome changes to tropical palm tree along runway sides, non palm tress sizes reduced

    Wat Khao Hua Jook hill less trees and temple more visible.

    Blender Physics created pillows which are a bit lumpy at 450kb, but have LOD from further away outside of gate area, 7kb model. The pillows are also duplicated assets

    MakeHuman humans, 230 kb models with LOD furher away 13kb.

    The famous Aquarium Toilets of Samui Airport

    V0.1.7  https://youtu.be/WdlSwAQImRM
    Start positions when spawning on runways corrected

    Big Buddha Pier to Koh Phangan

    Haadrin Queen ferry boat.

    Stand Signage

    New parking bay Centrelines EGKK style

    Wat Khao Hua Jook with terraformed hill

    V0.1.6 

    Taxiway signage including markers 4,3,2,1

    Runway 35 threshold bump taken out by adding a primary threshold and using default threshold arrow markings

    Samui Tram transportation from gates - plane static test models 

    Runway lighting system changed from low to high brightness

    Runway edge lights now closer to white line edge as IRL

     

    V0.1.5

    ATC and Firestation
    VOR DME model
    All Parking positions
    Ai seems to be functional, i saw a plane take off by itself

    V0.1.4

    East Apron Parking 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 operational
    Big Buddha PBR textured with Gold, roof tiles and side walls with Metallic RGB workflow
    Forget Taxi ribbons or Ai, it does not understand a single runway with no taxiways at the end of runway 35 or 17. 
    ATC will show a ribbon to turn into the runway too early, when you must taxi to the end of the runway and do a U turn.

    Parking bays are  GA_Ramp Large except for stand 1 and 10,11 (medium= no stairs available)  If i set them to gates no stairs will show for boarding any of them.
    ATC does not seem to understand Parking  and shows no ribbon or parking number, probably due to confusion over a runway with no taxiways at each end.
    Maybe sim update 7,8 or 9+

    V0.1.3

    Coconut Palm trees deployed
    Koh Som now has lots of coconut trees.
    East Apron Parking stands 1-6 operational WIP 7-11, West Apron WIP
    Rnav working Runway 35 tested Nakorn Si Thammarat to Koh Samui
    Ground services working stands 1-6
    ATC working as best it can, still need to test taxi to parking ribbon guides still getting confused
    Fuel truck working
    Basic Basic arriv/departure area model, just to get positioning correct in the Blender Project.
    Apron Markers WIP
    Taxiway signs to do

    Runway levelled more (forgot to click terraform on last version)

    Alpha, Beta, Charlie, Delta, Echo and Foxtrot Taxiways added

    V0.1.1

    Star Airport
    Handmade runway Primary designation 17 (I think)
    Runway linked taxiway and one stand.
    Should be working ok with ATC

    PAPI lights

    All markings handmade

    I'll leave the first version up as well just in case of problems

    Many thanks for the great scenery. Are there any plans to further expand the scenery? Furthermore, I have minor problems with the AI traffic. It doesn't start at the end of Rwy35 for me, but on a short stretch from Taxiway C.

    Kind regards, Christian

    Yeah Ai will not work properly as there is no way to make them taxi down the runway and turn 180 degrees for take off. The only way to make them taxi is to put a taxiway all the way down to the end, which does not exist in Koh Samui
