September 9, 200619 yr Just uploaded my newest project, McGhee Tyson Airport which serves Knoxville, Tennessee. A break from the highly detailed stuff but should provide enough for you short regional flyers ;).RegardsShez Shez Ansari Windows 11; CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K; GPU: EVGA GEFORCE GTX 1080Ti 11GB; MB: Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 5; RAM: 16GB; HD: Samsung 960 Pro 512GB SSD, Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD; Display: ASUS 4K 28", Asus UHD 26"

Thanks!I wish I knew you were working on TYS - I have some photos I took for reference a few years ago to do the same thing. I moved out of the area, and lost interest in completing it. I also have CAD files I made up, and a hi-res aerial photo of the airport grounds generously donated by the surveyors located across Alcoa highway.Derek
September 9, 200619 yr Author I wish I knew. I was looking for a photoreal background but could not find one. How big is the file? Maybe you could send it to me and I could upgrade this version.Shez Shez Ansari Windows 11; CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K; GPU: EVGA GEFORCE GTX 1080Ti 11GB; MB: Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 5; RAM: 16GB; HD: Samsung 960 Pro 512GB SSD, Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD; Display: ASUS 4K 28", Asus UHD 26"
September 9, 200619 yr I'll see if I can find it - funny enough, I moved from Knoxville to the Philly area a few years ago, and am now in the process of moving BACK to Knoxville.All of my backups are packed right now, but the moving truck is due next week. I'll try and find them ASAP though.The aerial was a 11 x 17 transparency that I had to find a backlit scanner to scan - when I did, I scanned it at some insanely high DPI, but I had to scan it in sections because the bed was not big enough. You may need to color correct and stitch it togeter.The aerial is about 5 years old.DerekOh - if you want a short but sweet project to work on as well, I CADded up DKX (Downtown Island) at the same time - the buildings are all modelled, but I haven't textured them. I have a LOT more reference photos for that airport...
September 9, 200619 yr Author Can CAD be used in GMAX?Shez Shez Ansari Windows 11; CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K; GPU: EVGA GEFORCE GTX 1080Ti 11GB; MB: Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 5; RAM: 16GB; HD: Samsung 960 Pro 512GB SSD, Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD; Display: ASUS 4K 28", Asus UHD 26"
September 9, 200619 yr I used Autocad - I can give it to you in .dxf or .3ds format, which will import just fine. For DKX I actually created some bgls from GMax of the scenery just to see if it worked - no problems, just no textures!Derek
September 9, 200619 yr Author OK send it across and will see if I have some free time and I can put it together. Send the pics of course. If you have a photoreal background then send also. shez(at)attglobal(dot)netShez Shez Ansari Windows 11; CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K; GPU: EVGA GEFORCE GTX 1080Ti 11GB; MB: Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 5; RAM: 16GB; HD: Samsung 960 Pro 512GB SSD, Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD; Display: ASUS 4K 28", Asus UHD 26"
September 10, 200619 yr Is there a way to delete the static general aviation planes in the scenery (without changing the scenery density)? I have my own general aviation AI and I want to use those spaces.PS: Thanks for this cool little scenery!
September 10, 200619 yr Author No they are part of the scenery. Why not adjust the AFCAD instead?Shez Shez Ansari Windows 11; CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K; GPU: EVGA GEFORCE GTX 1080Ti 11GB; MB: Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 5; RAM: 16GB; HD: Samsung 960 Pro 512GB SSD, Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD; Display: ASUS 4K 28", Asus UHD 26"
September 10, 200619 yr Love the airport! Thank you very much for another great freeware addon! Regional aiports need attention too! This airport is a great stopover for my flights from Buffalo down to the south! ------------------------- Craig from KBUF
September 10, 200619 yr >Why not adjust the AFCAD>instead?>>ShezThat's what I will do. :) It's just a bit wierd seeing 2 of the same liveries on a plane (one a static plane and one a regular GA plane). I already seen a gulfstream there with the same livery as one of the static gulfstreams in the scenery. :-lol
