Hiya,

Am planning to make Mandeville Aerodrome for FS2004. Would appreciate any photos that could help me develop this scenery area.

Thanks,

Goff

Cheers for the help. I've been working 'blind' over the past couple of days. I reckon it's almost done, but any photos would allow me to make it more accurate.

Thanks anyway, Mavman. Gavin - photos great...especially that last one. I reckon my layout of the area is pretty god, considering I hadd little to work with. Your pics confirmed that.

Is the Moth Cafe/Restaurant part of the building in the last picture?

That Beta version no longer available. I've redesigned the large hangar and deleted smaller ones from the scenery.

Still working on it at the moment.

The bar etc is just off to the left of those hangars, you can see part of it in the photo below and have added a couple of extras in case they are of use.

Should be some more on my website that might help with layout etc

Thanks, Gavin. Those pics reveal even more for me to work with. Thought I had it 'sussed' but fell short.



Had a look at your website - wow..amazing photos...and so many, too.

Just one more query...as you approach Runway 27, on the right-hand side there's a huge hedge, (20ft..30ft high). Far left in the 4th photo down. What's behind that? Anything worth adding to the scenery?

Cheers,

Goff

Looks great! An AI package featuring tiger moths and dominies would go great with that!

Funny you should say that...I've been trying to find AI Tiger Moths.

progress.....



Trees rotate to user..might try to find better replacements since I'm not really comfortable with this type of tree object.

Actually, I reckon it's about done. I'll be uploading to Avsim soon.

A version of the scenery modified by Godfrey, with different user options for tree or hedge lines is available from my website here......
