Sydney Airport 1987 Scenery Help

[rspring94 10]

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.

 

Please Reply ASAP

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