I added a Parking Area at the base of the tower that you can edit into the tsc file if you like.

add to bottom of tsc file:

where can i send a Oahu.DEM?
that would be the digital elevation model of the island.

Thanks to Dave W. for his excellent work with this scenery!.
Cheers, Ed
Screenies please Ed.
When i checked the dowload page, the merge of you 2 was obvious.
If you convert with FSET and Virtual Earth, it will fit quite well with the new Dave's scenery.
Cheers, Ed
If someone (like me) wants to have several parking spots (three in total) to initiate his flights, here is the modified TSC file (and rearranged a bit, and also showing a different runway lightning scheme for RWY 22):
While I did not check the alternate runway lighting for rwy 22, I did add 3 additional parking spaces, however, rather than group them all together as Edward did, I spread them out to the other side of the runway, in the hangar area, a mid-field ramp and the original parking space near the base of the tower.
This seems more practical for different aircraft. Maybe a helicopter across the runway from the tower, an aircraft being repaired or inspected in the hangar area, and a large or small aircraft in the mid ramp area.
I used Google Maps with the Satellite view. Pick a specific spot, right click on it, click on the lat long displayed. Now simply copy that lat long for that spot into your tsc file. Repeat for additional parking spaces. No practical limit AFAIK.
Regards,
Ray
Edward's 3 parking spaces.
4 spaces spread out more
Practical application of these 4 parking spaces. Just a thought.
Great stuff Thanks guys.
you can put the iowa model where the Missouri is in Pearl Harbour. Same class ship. (other two are in Camden New Jersey (the New Jersey) and in Norfolk (Wisconsin)
Missouri: 21.3620990, -157.9534746
New Jersey: 39.939457, -75.133116
Wisconsin: 36.848616, -76.295417

Yep. Great idea. thanks.

Hi Dave:
Another challenge is to re-locate the Control Tower closer to its real position, which seems to be at one of the corners of the big building or hangar near the parking spot number 1 created by Ray (see post #27 - it's at the building's closest corner to the runway).
According to what I can see, it seems that the correct CT coordinates should be (-157.7726036 21.4445837) in Aerofly's notation.
Open to comments.
Cheers, Ed
Here is a back view, as such, that shows a tower to the right of the two storage tanks. It appears to have two control towers. The 2nd photo shows a tower near the current location at the corner of the building and the third photo shows the taller one.
Regards,
Ray
I suppose the CT in use should be the tallest one (third picture), and probably the one located to the corner of the building was the first one used in this airport, not in use anymore. Most probably, due to this is a military installation, probably is something "kept secret"

Ed,
It could be something as simple as using dual towers. The smaller one could possibly have been used for helios as they seem to be closer to that part of the base, and the newer and taller one for all the other traffic. Just a guess.
Many dual use airports where runways are shared with the military have dual control towers.

Ray

That's correct!.
Ed
the small tower could not handle the aftermath ops of 9/11 where Kane ohe played a substantial role in Pacific Logistics, so they built the new one, much taller, much better equipped, and a better view over the entire pensinsula's ground ops. So, no mil secrets and no dual thing like in Hickam, just historical replacement for new requirements. Before 9/11 Kane Ohe was planned to shut down.
to use the smaller one to control heli ops would make sense, but it could also split for levels of authority (Terminal/CTR/App ctrl).
Main rwy for both landing and departing is 04 by the way.
Great stuff Thanks guys.

i would like to have the Missouri in place. Do I need anything special to place the ship at the location? Has anyone done this yet? Is the orientation correct? Etc.
There are several other ships in open docks around the corner, maybe someone will populate this area with some nice 3d ships.
How about a 3d image for the Arizona memorial? That would be nice.
Maybe someone would like to develop Ford Island with a few buildings and the radar dome. Now that sounds like a workable plan to get the ball rolling.
Nothing but ideas and suggestions.
Regards,
Ray
Pearl Harbor radar dome.
Big carrier arriving, good view of piece of Ford Island.
Seems that link is missing in Post #36.
Cheers, Ed
