Under Etna - my first airfield

Featured Replies

I like to visit small airfields but I couldn't find any on Sicily. So I've decided to make my own. It's located near Fiumefreddo di Sicilia. I recreated it using only google maps, very few pictures and just for myself so don't expect it to be very similar to the real one.

 

My Cessna after scary landing on, so far, the shortest runway I've landed on (500m)

Terrain is not accurate because I still have to learn how to edit/create my own mesh.

Thank you guys. I just found video from that airfield and mine is waaay off. Maybe I'll get back to it some day.

 

 

How long did it take you? Very nice.

It's hard to tell because I was learning many things during creation of this airfield. But it wasn't too long. Few hours maybe, mostly spent on creating textures for asphalt and finding proper objects in libraries.

It's my personal livery so it can't be found anywhere, sorry.

 

Now it's time to visit Africa :)
