Building a maintance hanger

Featured Replies

I could use some help from someone.

I have been building my own airport useing ADX. It has some good hangers in the program, but i would like to have a Maintance Hanger as part of the airport.

Could someone please help me figure out how to design it, or create one for me ( i would gladly pay them for the time they spend on it.)

What i have been trying to do is build a hanger with both ends open, a few Hobart APUs inside, with parts around, and a couple of planes inside being repaired( something like a P-40, or Mustang or a stearman, and a larger twin engine like a B-25 or DC-3.).

Just something that looks like a working maintance hanger.

Thx for the assistance.

I guess no one here has this kind of knowlege....Forget i asked for the assistance...I will look else where.

Craig, don't go away mad... :Peace:

 

Maybe nobody is interested in getting paid for doing somebody's scenery project, maybe you do not really provide a lot of details, maybe people are busy doing other things.

 

If you don't know how to make a hangar, then please indicate if you have used any model creation tool such as gMax or SketchUp.

 

Also, try to show at least some sort of picture of what you want, with dimensions clearly indicated.

 

Best regards.

i wasnt going away mad....

I had stated i was using ADX to build the airport. This is the first airport i have tried to build, and not all that sure of what i am doing or if i am doing it right...

The Maintance hanger is just something i would like to have added to the scenery. I would have liked one large enough to place a twin engine aircaft into.Like a DC3, or B-25.

I have since given up on trying to add this to the scenery. I have had the same request on other sites as well and was met with the same response...Nothing.... this was just an idea i had to make the scenery look more natural for where i was placing it.

I am sorry if it sounded like i was mad....I was saying no one needs to try and create it for me, since i had scraped the idea...

As for the airport....Well i am about to do the same thing with it. I dont know enough about design and creating useing the tools, ADX has to create the airport.

And the offer to pay someone for the work they put into doing the hanger, was in good faith...I know how much time it takes to create something from nothing more then whats in your mind as to what you want...

creating and building these are time consuming. Time taken away from enjoying the other aspects of FSX...

 

It seams like i always get the cold shoulder when i try asking for some help with something from these sites, but when i give up and say i will try elsewhere for the help, then people have something to say about it....I had this same thing happen about an aicraft repaint....I had to go to another site for it before i found someone who was willing to try it....

All i needed was someone to help with advice on creating what i wanted and was asking for....

I realize that no one here on this site knows who i am, and reading some other post here and on other sites everyone seams to know eachother...Who knows maybe thats where the problem is, being unknown by everyone results in little to no help...

Anyways i wasnt going away mad....I still check the site for problems others have had that i am having in hopes i can find a solution, but posting for help i wont be doing...

You learn from your mistakes, and designing an airport with more then the tools give was a mistake...So if i should get this airport finished, i will incorperate only what the design tool offers.

So like i said Luis, i wasnt going away mad, just giving up on the hanger since i could not even get advice on designing it....

Thanks for the reply though....

Really, Craig, I think you are just imagining that people are hostile towards you. It is easy to get that impression on the Internet, but it is usually not true. In truth, we are a very small community, which means that there are very few of us in scenery design. In addition, everybody also has a life with its attendant problems and occupations and is not always available immediately, so this means we must be very patient, keep trying, and most of all, try to help ourselves in our projects.

 

If you have something very specific in mind, then you will have to make it yourself, and that means learning how to use a model creation program. This does require effort, but it is not beyond your capabilities, and many, many people have done it before you.

 

Or, if you are not willing to do so, then the game does have a number of default hangars and maintenance objects (tool chests, ladders, lifts, etc.) that you can easily place where you want.

I don't know if the airplanes you mentioned will fit in them; if not, you will have to create your own.

 

In the end, it all depends on how committed you are to your project. Scenery design takes up a lot of time, and most designers rarely get to fly for lack of time. But, if you really want to do this, then I, or others here, will be glad to give you help.

 

Best regards.

Hi Craig,

 

look at file "dvahangar_v1.0.zip " in the AVSIM lib. I have build this scenery with planes in the hangar, people.... etc and a lot more. Even a hangar working sound, horns, drill sound etc. are included. The hangar itselve is a FS9 model which can open/close the doors by frequencies.

As a complete hangar pack ( 9 hangars ) for DVA I improved the hangars interoir with animated objects inside and out side the hangar. Let me know if you are interested.

 

Best
