Hello - I'm new to GW but not FS and having enjoyed it and several add on's I launched a search and found (and enjoy) Scruffy Ducks KMIA scenery. This lead me to do some more searching for info on PanAm Field and has motivated me to try my hand at my own version of KMIA from around 1930. www.faa.gov/ats/atct/miatct/1930.htmI am looking for a volunteer to create the Pan Am Terminal building (photos attached). Most of the scenery will be stock hangers etc but I was hoping to get a nice representation of the Terminal as it is pretty unique and historic structure. www.pbase.com/donboyd/image/97866435www.panam.org/default1.asp** panam.org wont jump straight to the photo, from the site go to Historical/Image Library page 4 I think (the photos are alphabetical just keep going to you hit Miami) I'm comfortable overall with creating an airport but scenery design is a bit beyond me. I look forward to sharing the new airfield with everyone and will certainly be back for testers/advice/opinions. Thanks very much. Steve K |

If a volunteer is really feeling generous they can try the 1942 terminal. A bit past the 30's time frame but the building has even more style and a control tower. www.pbase.com/donboyd/image/90328326 |

Just wanted to post an update as to how the scenery is coming along.
I have the AP built and tested in AFCAD and all looks and works well. My runways are 4500 (2) and 4200 (1) feet long as I wanted to comfortably get a DC3 off the tarmac. I finally think I have my install problem beat for Sbuilder so I hope to get the ground polys done and the buildings installed this weekend. I also plan to add some AI traffic, I may even get adventurous and do some work on Watson Island and throw in some Chaulks AI.
If anyone is interested in test flying it, just send me your e-mail address and I will send it to you when I get done.
1 quick question, I prefer the look of the Coral textured runway in Afcad (kind of a beach sandy look) but the textures for the coral taxiways don't look the same, any ideas? (Of course this may not matter at all as I may just put a texture layer over it with the look I want.

Textures for runways and taxi ways might be slightly different and this would be due to the textures that each one uses. I think runway textures are different than taxi way textures

The 1940s terminal would take much time to create. The problem is I no longer have the FS9 SDK and can't compile the model. Let me know if you would like these and I'll send them to you.

MoCat, thanks very much I'll take whatever you are willing to provide. I'll send you a PM with my e-mail address. If you need the FS9 SDK's they are still available from the links provided here. support.microsoft.com/kb/555857 |

Just an update as to where things are. The AP layout and ground textures our done. I have placed all of the buildings except the main terminal using RW12OP (I am using a stock RWY12 terminal until MoCat has time to forward me his model of the proper PanAm Terminal) and I have the airline AI up and running.
I have modeled the entire 1936 Eastern Airlines schedule and all of the 1937 Pan Am traffic that touches KMIA. I am using the stock DC3 stripped of sounds and panel as AI at the moment and it works OK. I have found someone to paint the CalClassic AI DC-3 for me in EAL and PAA so I will switch those in when I get them.
I still need to get the Airport beacon in place, add a fence and add some general aviation AI traffic and it's ready to share. If I can figure out how to take and post a screen shot I'll put one up in the next day or two.
