- | =====Coming Soon===== | + | =====Define an Airport without Graphics===== |
+ | |||
+ | ====Welcome==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This tutorial will show you how to add an airport to Aerofly FS2. | ||
+ | Since we do not work with graphics in this workshop, we will concentrate on the basic information: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Find an area==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Aerofly FS 2 contains several airports (even in existing high res areas) which are not yet defined. This is particularly important if you plan on creating your own hi-res scenery using the geoconvert tool and you want to define an airport but not want to work on modelling buildings at this time. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In our example we want to add the **Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada, USA**. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Visit [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Our **main coordinate** can be the main building, the center of runway or just the tower of the airport. I decided to use the runway crossing, which is a dominant point of the whole area. Press right mouse key to display the Latitude and Longitude coordinate of this point. Also determine the elevation of this point. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | We need 3 more points: The tower position, the beginning and end of at least one runway. | ||
+ | This is the **tower coordinate** | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Next is the runway **beginning of rwy 31L**. **Note**- To make it easy we use the same point for the threshold position. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Select the center of the runway width for runway 31L: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Do the same on the opposite direction, the **beginning of runway 13R** | ||
+ | * Measure the **runway width** with Google Maps or search for airport information about this. We need a metric value for the width. Note the runway markings from Google Maps or airport information. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We can also define a **parking position** | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Creating your TSC File==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Next we will create a text file called **nas_fallon.tsc**. **Note**- It's best to work off of a sample template for this. The TSC file is what tells Aerofly FS2 where to place the runways for your airport. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is enough information to define your airport. Your completed **TSC** file will look like this: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Create a folder and copy the **nas_fallon.tsc** that you just made into this folder, then place the folder into **' | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Choose Your Starting Location==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Note**- This is a rough way to do this because the runway elevation mesh is not flattened and it may contain some bumps. Also the runway lighting will only show up with a graphics object runway. This will be in the next tutorial. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For those of you who need a sample TSC file to work off of, you can download it [[http:// | ||
