Tabuk Air Base/Airport V2

Post by DaleRFU »

Hi all,

Thought that I would show you what my next scenery project is, and as the title says its Tabuk. Currently home to the Hawk training aircraft and a squadron of F-15C/D's, there is hope that a typhoon squadron will appear up there as well. This scenery will be a great improvement on the quality that you would have seen in my Dhahran package as I have learnt new techniques in painting and scenery building which most importantly is LODing, which is actually quite easy to do (Thanks to Mark (Fishlips)). I would also like to thank JY for his Lightning that is a static model and NB for his Hawk which is also a static model on plinths. Please bare in mind that this is still a WIP. So on with the preview

Part of the old terminal that was lets say run down on the inside :lol:

The new terminal and royal terminal. I made these before I had learnt how to LOD so they will most likely be redeveloped

As will the roundabout that supports the lightning

That is some project there Dale. Glad I could be of service with that little bit of info on lods, what a difference it will make at such a large airport.
I have an NBAI static scenery Hawk with reflective canopy glass but its the 127 model used by the RAAF and it maintains all the original lods, a trick of the .asm file to make it work.
I really like what you have done!

The only reason that I have made the canopy dark grey is because they are painted over in real life also. The hawk in front of the 21sq ops building is only a model and the 88sq bird on the roundabout is an old hawk, they painted the canopy because they gutted the cockpit for spares. With the LOD's I am finding that I am able to add more 3D detail rather than just painting the detail, it certainly does make a difference in looks but more importantly in performance. If I had done what I have do without LOD's then the users machine would just collapse... :lol: Thank you all for the kind comments

I have finally gotten around to releasing this for FSX/P3D. It's up on Avsim now. It's not a complete base but is a damn site better than the default.

Enjoy
