Love your Shoreham, the only issue I have is the main terminal is a coffe cream color, not white like you have it. You color probably pull the color from this photo. https://www.airport-data.com/airport/photo/016273.html

mkvy 7 month(s) ago

Yeah it’s probably my pbr texture not correct on the shadow side, how is the colour on the southern side when the suns shining?

Thanks for this great work - I was looking for somewhere to fly the new BlackBox Bulldog, and this is where its maiden flight was. Here's the video https://youtu.be/Hdgw66ZMkJA

mkvy 9 month(s) ago

I'll watch it now, just to mention i am not loading the current SDK sim update 7 with this project as there would be taxiway point and parking bay issues which will arise. Waiting for a better SDK.. 8. Then i can delete my basic shoreham power station model as now Brighton Photogrammetry now has done the job

Sorry to be a pain, I know you are busy with Heathrow etc. but can you take a look at the airfield lighting when you have time.

I do not see the PAPI lights during daytimes anymore and now there is no runway or taxiway lighting at all at night. Completely dark.

mkvy 9 month(s) ago

Hi, do you mean there is no edge lighting or runway lights?

DownedAviator 9 month(s) ago

No edge, no approach, no PAPI. To be honest I, like most people I guess, mostly fly in daytime and I cannot remember exactly what was there before, but now there is no lighting on runways or taxiways at all. I sometimes get a brief glimpse of the PAPI installation just after flair and touchdown.

mkvy 9 month(s) ago

just had a look. I am getting runway lights, papi lights and taxiway edge lights, photo added to gallery. Could be a settings issue in the menu like render scaling or some other

DownedAviator 9 month(s) ago

More info:

I just tested the default Asobo EGKA airfield without your model and the airport lighting functioned normally.

DownedAviator 9 month(s) ago

I also tried putting render scaling and LOD settings to max. Made no difference.

DownedAviator 9 month(s) ago

I am going to try again with no other addons loaded. I will let you know what happens.

mkvy 9 month(s) ago

Probably weather related. If you were using Live weather then the visibility will effect runway lighting, but at night the render engine may not render low vis. It just dulls the lights. There may be a disconnect in the Metar vs the other system they use meteoblue. I think its better to test in clear skys and at night to make sure you are seeing ground lighting properly

DownedAviator 9 month(s) ago

Thanks for your feedback. I was aware of the known flickering and disappearing airfield lighting issue on approaching airfields. I have seen that in other places. What took me by surprise was the total lack of airfield lighting at Shoreham even while on the ground, a complete blackout. I did try turning off live weather and indeed the lighting was restored even when I subsequently turned live weather back on again.

I am not sure that it is simply weather related, there seem to be several rendering and aliasing issues with the sim at the moment.

One issue that I still get is with the blue taxiway edge lights that are on stanchions. The blue lights go out when getting closer to them, although the stanchions remain visible and the lights further along the taxiway remain visible until getting closer to them. This only affects blue lights, green and white stanchion based lights are unaffected. Flush mounted surface lights also seem unaffected. I have also had the reverse situation where the blue light does not appear until very close. Maybe this is all related to the disappearing marshaller's baton bug in the sim.

Another anomaly was seen after installing your update to restore the refuelling point objects. There appeared to be less pumps and other objects than originally, no signage etc. Then on a recent flight everything was there as before, like in your picture. Next time it reverted to the reduced objects again!

There are a lot of weird and random happenings in this sim, but I am pleased to see some general taming of the grass, even if is variable and patchy. Hopefully over time things will improve, but I am not getting any younger.

I seem to have a couple of issues since the recent sim updates:

1) Objects are missing from the refuelling point.

2)When I end pushback the pushback cart drives away but an additional one suddenly appears in front of the aircraft.

mkvy 9 month(s) ago

I'll do a rebuild with sim update 6, see if that fixes it. But all parking bays are drive through at Shoreham, unless your in a hangar

DownedAviator 9 month(s) ago

I just did some full testing with the update and the problems are still present.

DownedAviator 9 month(s) ago

Further testing reveals that the spurious pushback cart only occurs when using the Pushback Helper addon. I have not seen this happen at any other airport.

Fantastic Airport, well done! Only thing that I noticed was missing taxi sign for hold short A4. Other than that, great work.

Great, great scenery

Do you still planned to detail the western hangars. I love to see it.

mkvy 12 month(s) ago

Yes for sure, just waiting for the SDK to get fixed by Asobo

Thats all for 1 month. I need to get Heathrow moving. Anyone know what that green igloo buiding is for, smurfs?

guy7001 1 year(s) ago

The green igloo is a legacy from ww2: its a gunnery trainng dome, info here: https://www.amusingplanet.com/2016/03/the-secret-of-langham-dome-trainer.html

inside to where?

iliketrains 1 year(s) ago

To the main building or terminal.

i think i need to finish all 30 hangar before- see if there are any fps problems with performance before going inside

Great! Now I can hand over the taxi to parking to my AI co-pilot while I sit back and admire the scenery 😊

mkvy 1 year(s) ago

If that works then thats great. The gate numbers may seem strange but its the only way i can do it.. They are arranged in rows 4-12 (first digit/s. Then position 1-3.. G means Grass.. and on the grass area North of the taxiway Row 70-72
i.e Gate 702G is row 70, position 2 in the grass

After several days and a break Finally i have found out the cause of no Ground aircraft, I never use this traffic feature since world update 3 (uk) and boy does it crush the frames. My 980ti is totally floored , never used to be before world update 3, for anyone with a seriously powerful gpu, enjoy!

Thanks for the explanation but I think there's a bug on my end if i set copilot to take over taxi to parking the flight ends. 😉

mkvy 1 year(s) ago

Bugs seem to be everywhere at the moment.. I notice that only Ai cars are appearing at the moment, seem to be parked near invisible Ai planes

Such talent thanks for your hard work on this. ai taxi to parking will be nice.😉

mkvy 1 year(s) ago

Yeah, i just landed on 20 and ATC said turn left at next taxiway. Then Taxi to gate, but no blue diamond guide came up and no taxiway direction. there may be a disconnected taxiway... i will go in and check it out now

mkvy 1 year(s) ago

I just found out that Ai aircraft are broken due to SDK 0.12.0. They are there but not showing. I can tell because if you push ai aircraft and GA ground aircraft traffic to 100% the fps drops in half. So that explains the lack of Ai aircraft.

If ATC parks you at a H Gate. this is a helicopter parking pad, which is not supposed to be linked to taxiways. So no blue diamond will appear. But i have now linked them all up.. see if 2.0.6 version works
