Sydney Airport 1987 Scenery Help

Featured Replies

Hi

This is more directed to people who are familiar with YSSY. As you probably know runway 16L/34R was only built in the 90s. Before that, it was just 16R/34L (then known as 16/34) and 7/25.

 

I am trying to create scenery to replicate YSSY as it was in the 1980s. So far it is going alright, except for one problem. I can not work out how to delete the land underneath where 16L/34R was. I want the end result to be like this (satellite image): http://www.sydneyairport.com.au/corporate/community-environment-and-planning/~/media/Images/Corporate/Aviation%20Community/year%20round/Sydney%20Airport%20Aerial%20-%201987.jpg.

 

PLEASE don't talk about using the KML and using Excludes. PLEASE work out another way.

 

PS if the link doesnt work go to this link: (http://www.sydneyairport.com.au/corporate/community-environment-and-planning/aviation-community.aspx?print=true), scroll down to historical aerial images of sydney airport, and click on 1987.

Make an apron over the land area you want to delete. Then make the apron surface water.
