This is really nice! CYCD - Nanaimo Waterfront - CAT4... Wonderful flight!

I do notice that the Vancouver Island mesh addon has left CAT4 very bumpy..

Edit: I have just installed the RTMM flatten fix, and it does the job!

image

verci 3 month(s) ago

I can confirm. Scenery is cool, but runway and aprons are rollercoasterish with the VC Island mesh addon...

image

BPieke 3 month(s) ago

Just testing an RTMM fix that flattens the airport... looking really good!

Minh, Can you please certify compatibility with SU5? This package it too good to lose.

image

Minhbui 5 month(s) ago

Is there anything wrong with the airport on your computer ? If not , then it's compatible . I don't know why flightsim.to still asks if it's compatible with SU5 ? If something is not compatible , tons of people will just eventually comment that it's broken after the update for sure . So far I don't see anyone in here says that the airport is not working .

image

Cessna777 5 month(s) ago

I'll give it a try. A lot of the creators have tested their work and put a "compatible" badge on the download page.

wow this is amazing! great job! I dont really fly outwest that much in the sim but I sure will do so now!
If its possible could you eventually make Muskoka Airport (CYQA) cause the default airport is trash.
image

Minhbui 9 month(s) ago

Thank you for the comment ! But I think I don't have the mean and energy to do CYQA .

Sure brings back some memories! We need to fix Nanaimo city next to make the experience perfect.
image

Minhbui 9 month(s) ago

Yeah , that's what I have in mind but first I need to learn how to do it .

Absolutely fabulous job!! Instantly became my favorite airport over Nanaimo and that one is a real treat as well. You create real character, something that is sometimes missing in even big developers airstrips. Have you considered CYYJ Victoria? That would be a big payware opportunity I would think!
image

Minhbui 9 month(s) ago

Thank you ! I thought we need a good looking departure airport and also a good looking arrival one . So I choose to build Nanaimo and Qualicum Beach airport . CYYJ is also close by but I need a lot of photos to make it looks good , especially photos from inside the airport security . It is easier said than done . How do I get those photos ? Who can be able to take those photos ? Like I mention above , Without Ken Peters and the airport manager's help , custom buildings at Qualicum Beach airport are not possible . And also CYYJ is much bigger airport . I need at least 6 month to finish it .
image

superpilot73 9 month(s) ago

Scorpionbc from your Nanaimo scenery said he could take pictures at CYYJ. If you decide tackle that big job maybe break it into parts. Like do the tower and flying club area first and download that first version here, then consecutive versions with the terminal, then the military area on the other side etc.

Fantastic job!
I like your work on customs marking ,Have you tried using the "parallax windows" material for the terminal bay windows, this could be interesting.
Thank you to you as well as to the airport contributors.
image

Minhbui 9 month(s) ago

Thank you ! I still do not know a lot of things in modeling and want to learn including that parallax window . Do you know how to do it ? Maybe you can write a tutorial on how to do it ? The next thing I want to learn is animation . I want to animate the Canadian flag but have no idea how to do it either . Do you know how to do it ? If you do , can you show me so I can build better airports ? Thank you in advance .
image

superpilot73 9 month(s) ago

Just google Creating Animated Scenery - Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 SDK Tutorials. Looks like it has to be done in Blender but there is a Youtube video on that as well.
image

Minhbui 9 month(s) ago

I know there are lots of tutorials for making things on the internet . But successfully learn to do something is a different story . Otherwise there are lots of scenery developers out there already .
image

superpilot73 9 month(s) ago

Yeah, no doubt easier said than done. Looked into animating flags through fsdeveloper forum, and RomanDesign figured it out just recently (bone animation) He would be your best bet.
image

Minhbui 9 month(s) ago

He's not going to share the secret he knows . He was the thread starter asking question about flag animation in that forum . After he figured it out , others are still in doubt , including me .
image

superpilot73 9 month(s) ago

Lol, unfortunately your at a skill level where only payware guru's tread. You may be able to figure it out if you look into the article, he had a lot of help from other developers.
image

Minhbui 9 month(s) ago

Yeah , in the last few months I was busy with the airports and actually did not spend time with flag animation at all .
image

superpilot73 9 month(s) ago

Flag animation is just a nice touch, not required obviously. Hopefully the secret will be revealed soon. Could of sworn I saw an airport in Alberta with animated flag (Red Deer?) but was probably P3D. BTW if you haven't seen them yet check out the great pictures in this airports user gallery.
image

Minhbui 9 month(s) ago

True , it's just a nice touch . Without it Qualicum Beach looks good anyway .
image

Zepingouin35 9 month(s) ago

Oops, I missed the conversation.

About parallax windows, I will try to cross the info that is available on the web and do some tests this weekend, but it doesn't seem impossible just not very friendly for noobs like me.

On the other hand for the animations, there are enough tutorials for blender to learn it and in the blender2msfs import tool there is an option to import the animation linked to the object(look on the FlyingTheston channel, there is a little simple tutorial to get started on an animated object on msfs )

the unknown in my opinion is mostly how to link an animated object with the direction and the force of the wind (flag, windsocks, tree etc).

*edit* I just found the thread on Fs developper you mentioned and I understand the problem ^^, forget what is written just above.

In any case, if I would gladly share the methods with you if I succeed.
image

Minhbui 9 month(s) ago

I saw the tutorials , but for blender users . I don't know if I want to change to blender . Besides , my focus is to finish a good looking airport and go flying . Those little effects look nice up close but when we are a little away from them we don't see them anyway . And because of that , they are not my first priority in airport developments . Right now I am working on downtown Nanaimo photogrammetry . I will upload it soon to enhance the experience of flying from CYCD through downtown Nanaimo to Qualicum Beach .
image

Zepingouin35 9 month(s) ago

I totally understand, moreover you have already done an incredible job on this scene !
I also try to complete my CYLI scene 100% and not leave it sketchy like CYBD .. and enjoy flying a bit in msfs as well and not spending hours on the sdk with my hazardous workflow ^^.
I didn't know you weren't on Blender I guess you should be able to find also for the software you are using, the principles should be similar?

superpilot73 9 month(s) ago

Sorry Propeller was using your version, but this is just on a ridiculous artistic and modeling level, as I'm sure you'll agree.
image

PropellerBC 9 month(s) ago

Nothing to be sorry about. I ditched my own scenery and I'll be using Khanh's. We should consider ourselves lucky to have such a talented artist giving away his work for our enjoyment.

This is a fantastic piece of work. I am still trying to figure out how to bring Blender into MSFS.. Perhaps there is a good written outline somewhere..

But amazing work.
I'm thinking AI is taking up too many parking spaces.. I was looking for a nice empty hangar to put up the the night.
And I didn't know they had such hot ladies in the area.. Not great conversationalist it seems.

Congrats

Thank you ! Those hot ladies are there to just cheer up the flight simmer pilot fanatics .

Love this airport. I am too Vietnamese. Khanh Bui is my name. I got my license at cable airport in upland California. Can you do that airport next? Please.
image

Minhbui 9 month(s) ago

Oh ! Hello Khanh ! Thank you ! We have the same last name . I will look in to that airport to see if I can .
image

DC6Pilot 9 month(s) ago

Thank you. So glad that you doing this. I am an architect but can't do what you can do. There are a few airports that I flew out of but can't get into creating them. KCCB is the name of that airport. Are you a Canadian citizen? You did a lot of those airports.
image

Minhbui 9 month(s) ago

Yes , I am Canadian . What I do here is just my hobby and since no payware developers would be interesting in developing these small airports so I do it myself .
image

DC6Pilot 9 month(s) ago

Do you fly in real life? If not, do take an discovery flight at your nearest flight school. No obligation. It is a world of wonder up there.😃
image

Minhbui 9 month(s) ago

Nope , Can't afford and did not have a chance to be a pilot and own airplane in real life but do take discovery flight at the local airport .
image

MazerMart 9 month(s) ago

Yes love Nanaimo too.. Just did my first airport .. It's not that easy when MS scrubs the land so there is nothing there.. see Bathurst.. no custom buildings cuz I'm struggling to get them into the game..
image

DC6Pilot 9 month(s) ago

Morning Minh. Can I provide you with pictures of cable airport for reference? I don’t live too far from it. Msfs showed it as non operating airport at the moment but runway lights are there. Is there a way to pm you by any mean?
image

Minhbui 9 month(s) ago

Hello Khanh , I did have a look at Cable airport the other day and notice that Microsoft has closed it . I've also checked to see if someone cares to improve it but found none . And unfortunately , I am not interest in improving it either because the area I fly is mostly in Southern Alberta and Southern British Columbia Canada . The same as Cable airport , a lot of airports in Southern Alberta and BC need improvement and that is what I am doing . And even if I work at my full speed , there are still a lot of them that will be left out . I am sorry I can't help you with the airport of your interest .
image

DC6Pilot 9 month(s) ago

Just a wish. However, I will follow your works and get my virtual dual citizenship to fly in Canada more often.😃
