    Skydive Dubai - OMDU - Image 1

    Description

    When Skydive Dubai started, it was just a small sand runway. It evolved over the years to what it is now - a spectacular, floating runway, which extends 550 meters into the Arabian Gulf, right next to the famous Palm Jumeirah. 

    The floating runway is quite a sight on approach and is reconstructed as a full 3D object, featuring 4K PBR texturing.


    Installation:
    Just move the "tsdesigns-omdu" folder to your Community folder.

    The Airfield is optimized for my Ortho-Addon for OMDU here.

    Version Notes:

    0.5
    Initial Release
    The initial release is centered around the runway itself.

    To me the same thing happens to me. When configuring the output in locations, the ship appears below the platform. Not so on the track.

    That's a strange behavior. Was not able to reproduce it in my sim. Did you install my ground enhancement (ortho-pack) as well?
    Maybe the latest update messed something up. Will check into it.

    Should work just fine. The other Dubai pack just adds buildings and does not bring anything at Dubai Skydive so far.

    First of all great job!
    I'm facing an issue that when I set the runway for departure it doesn't recognize yours and set the acft to the "real" one from FS, so what happen is that the acft goes under your runway.
    Hope you got my point.
    am I doing anything wrong? Is there how to fix it?

    Did you download and install my Ground-update as well?
    The Apron should be recognized as a hard surface. I will check into it this week. Maybe the latest update messed up the apron recognition.

    Thanks for this update. I tried landing in this runway with autopilot but my plane crashed before landing. it was only 100 m left. autopilot tried to land on sea

    Due to the limitations of the Toolkit, the runway is technically still at sea-level and not raised above the water. I will try to get to this within an update.

    Since this runway is not an ILS runway, it is only operated VFR and without automatic landing...

    The next updates will address the texture quality and detailing around the runway itself, adding buildings and surroundings.

    Thank you so much!
    I perfectly agree. Bluewaters Island with the Ain Dubai (the Ferris Wheel) are in a work in progress. Since Ain Dubai is right next to the approach window, it is a must-have. I will publish this along with updates to the OMDU Airfield.

    That's excellent mate, If the buildings around the airstrip are modelled too, like the Zero Gravity Dubai and subsequent Habtoor & and Royal Meridien Hotels that would be amazing. Of course I know this all takes a lot of work! I'm going to download this now and some fun in VR around this!

    Looks great, I stayed at the Royal Meridien Hotel right across from the airstrip. Was great watching the Otters from the balcony. It's a shame That part of Dubai isn't modelled to well in the sim, even with the fantastic City pack addon made by Risuali. Be great to have the full hotel and beach modelled up to the new Ferris Wheel
