KMCO Taxi2Gate Terminal C

[BWBriscoe 118]

Hi...

Does anyone know if Taxi2Gate are going to update KMCO to add terminal C? They've practically modelled it...it just needs gates etc adding.

Thanks

One can only hope they do but like most scenery makers, everything is MSFS anymore so they will probably update for MSFS and skip P3d when all they literally have to do is add jetways.......

Look at how many developers have updated their P3D products in the past year, and that should answer your question.

According to their FB page, they do intend to update TFFR to P3Dv5 (I believe this is currently supported  upto P3D v3 ) but then they plan to turn their attention to MSFS. This was according to their post on Sept 21st.

So for KMCO, I doubt there will be an update for P3Dv5 or beyond.

 

I personally dont have the scenery, but if the terminal building itself is present in the scenery, you could probably use a combination of ADE to add the appropriate parking gates to Terminal C and GSX Level 2 to add the jetways to make the airport more complete.

Of course this would require your own time and effort to take this on and modify the appropriate AFCAD .BGL file, but these tools are relatively straightforward to use after the initial learning curve.

I’m working on it! 

Removing the construction related objects that are scattered around Terminal C was pretty straightforward. Now I am adding the taxi lines to the ramp and working on the GSX L2 configuration for each of the gates. 

Early preview, I am going to try and replace the ramp texture as well.

I often go to KMCO in P3D, would love to see this also.

Nice work...Hopefully you can share what you changed so others can enjoy the update as well.

That's awesome! Thank you

Update, I have completed the North side of Terminal C - Gate: 230/231/232/233/234/235/266/237/238/241/243/245)
Next up is working on the (currently) three operational South side Gates: 240/242/244 - The remaining South side gates are a W.I.P. in the real world.

Features:

• Taxi/Apron lines (Google Maps is still out of date so I will need to wait for more recent imagery before further improving the layout of each taxi/apron line and the gates.
• GSX Level 2 integration(Gate 230/231/232/233/234/235/266/237/238/241/243/245). Currently only Gate 241 - 243 have VGDS (still unsure what the real world setup is). 
  I will update the GSX.ini once additional real world reference is available. 
   

Bugs:

• No taxi lights on Terminal C apron. Although I added lights to the AFCAS and layer the MOD above the T2G scenery entry, I have not been able to get the AFCAD taxi lights to appear above the ramp texture (If anyone knows how to, please reach out to me).
• There is a texture gap in the middle of a Terminal C taxiway (see bottom left corner of my preview screenshot). This is a T2G bug which is present in the scenery. I should be able to fix this soon (once I figure out how to use Blender). 
   
• NOTE: As fare as I could tell, the only way to remove the construction crates that surround Terminal C is to modify the T2G Terminal C model file. While doing so was very easy, without written permission from T2G, I cannot share the modification of their Terminal C model. I will contact T2G to ask for their permission to share the MOD of their Terminal C model (the only change is the removal of the construction crates).

PinkPony,

This is awesome work! Thank you. Do you know if the baracades/fences for the taxiways should be there? They're still showing on mine

[CaptKornDog 286]

Certainly monitoring this thread as this mod further develops.  Awesome.

Is there any chance for SODE version?
Thank you
