Here it is. All 22 Arleigh Burke Class Destroyers, 6 Ticonderoga Class Cruisers, 4 O.H. Perry Class Frigates. All ships are individually numbered. I know that all these ships aren't in port at the same time, but a quick representation of them. I will further refine the parking of the ships later in the week.

Matt,
Looks great!! If they were all in plus the carriers I might as well stay home as I-64 and 564 would be a parking lot :lol:

I haven't d/l the DDG's yet but are they all the same model or do they have the different versions? Like the one with the Helo hangers?

Joe, admittedly I have been very lazy the last few weeks/months and haven't been working on my projects. Its summertime in Northern New England so I have to live it up while we still have nice weather. So, unfortunately, in a word no. However, I do plan on finishing it before the end of October.

Understand completely. Been really slack on the FS scene here, too. Yard work, ballgames, outdoor projects, motorcycle rides, etc. take precedence in the summer. :D

This is very nice work. I am glad to see someone put effort into the rotary-wing areas of Naval Station Norfolk. I have been slowly improving my FSX version with two separate AFX airport files so the helicopters operate independent of the main runway. The pier areas are excellent too! My default scenery displays strips of grass and trees where the piers are in real life and with FSX my road traffic goes over the runway instead of under. I wish I could help with this scenery in someway.

Matt,
A while back I was telling you they were doing construction at Taxiway S. Well they have finished it up almost. I don't think they have done any painting yet, but they are done with the paving operations. anyways the attached pic is what I can see as I drive down I-564 in the morning. I believe they have extend the apron to connect to taxiway E as seen by my scribbles. I also drew in the new taxiway signs and lights that weren't there before. Hopefully Google Earth will have an updated pic of this area soon for you.

Here are some more updates. I finished up the special markings for the north heloport with the Circle T marks and the parking radius markings, I also finished the Air Ops building LP-1 on the main base.

Here are a few more updates from Norfolk. I have finished the hangars on the heliport, as well as the HM-15 hangar. I still have to work on the AMCM shop on the HM-15 ramp. The AMC terminal is more or less complete. I am going to make the connecting roads and parking area as well. I am still debating weather or not to build the piers for the ships. Here are some screenies for you guys.

Matt, what I would suggest is get the main airfield done as you want it. Only then think about how you want to enhance the scenery and the area. Think of it as the main functionality as v1. You can release it as such or not, this is purely your choice. The Enhancements are v2.

This approach has a couple of advantages. Firstly, it will stop the clamour from your adoring public about when it is going to be released :lol: . Secondly, this clarifies your priorities. Lastly, if you try to do it all at once you may get to the stage where you get so bogged down in detail that you may never finish it, which will be a waste of your efforts and nobody gets to enjoy them.

Looking good Matt. What are you using to model the structures? FSDS or Gmax?

I should smack you with something Mike :smt003

I am using gmax currently since it is the right price. I will hopefully be changing over to FSDS this summer.

Shoot, if you've already learned the basics of Gmax, I'd stick with that.
