ACB-VLT Terminals & Jets

[dragonshardz]

I have a question: Where can I find the RMIP ground paths for pedestrians and the runway-crossing roads? I can't find them @ the STEX, so....A little help please?

Gate walkway & street-crossing-taxiway lots are part of Volume 3.

Although I have lurked around here for some time, I do like all the stunning new plane liveries being created.

The only reservation I have... well... it was posted before, but I dunno what happened and never got a response...

hmm... not every airport has a jetway system though...

Now... of course... I think before that you said that rendering the jetway with the plane resulted in better lighting at night... which is understandable... but, again, small airports usually don't get a lot of income to purchase and run jetways... 

However, seeing all the work that has gone in here already, I don't mind doing work of my own, actually, if it means taking some work off the creators of these fine products. 

Therefore, I'm not going to ask for a whole new set of planes with liveries and BATed airstairs (that would take too much time and effort anyways), but if you can provide just one blank 737 or A320 (without liveries) prop or model (in SC4Model format) so that I (and maybe others) can relot them, that might be helpful. 

Thanks,

Thank you. I have RMIP-2 SAE Vol1-Vol4, RMIP v1, and SWAP 2.3 installed. After looking I still cannot find the gate walkways and street-crossing taxiway lots in any menu. I removed RMIP v1 and they did not appear, so does this mean that SWAP 2.3 should be removed from my plugins?

BTW, I have all my airport-related files datpacked. Could this be causing my problems?

You can also make them from the props provided by Kumba and Tabi, in addition to the 737s that comes with the 737 variety pack from Mike_Oxlong.

I'm currently working on some lots for the props that Tabi and Kumba released a while ago, when I get close with some of them, I'll start a thread and posts some pics. If there's a demand for them I could release them when I'm done?

I would indeed be very interested, I was looking at lotting varios jetways, stands etc using those props to get a real variety especially getting those A380's into the game. However I just do not have the time in RL to learn how to use lot editor properly (i can barely play the game once a fortnight!). So in short I think you would see some demand to combine those wicked props with the existing lots supplied with the SAE stuff. From the minor tinkering I did with the LE this would seem to be relatively straightforward? I heard a rumour that to get the A380 to appear in LE the lot has to be bigger than the 747 gateway which is a 5x5 lot, my own tinkering showed me that 6x5 or 6x6 will work.

Combine this with this little project here for wider and diagonal runways.... now we're talking!

As it turns out, I happen to be working on the same thing- lotting all of Tabi's and Kumba's planes for release. Perhaps I should call off my project, if you intend to release yours.

[krbe]

You guys mean these planes?

[pilotdaryl]

That Tupolev Trijet I haven't seen before!  Where did you get it?

[krbe]

Yes, amazing what you can get on the black market these days, isn't it?

Glenni is the one who's dealing the surplus aerospace arsenal of the Soviet Union.

What the? Yeah those ones! Please release them! If you don't want to can you email them to me at the email address in my profile. I have to have them, they look great!

I try to make some lots based on the jetway(ACB-VLT Terminals & Jets) lots, just add some jets props on the lot ,but I can't 'save as' the lot, could you release or send me some lots that can be edited, Thanks!

Maxis LE doesn't allow the "save as" of airport lots.
In order to make one yourself, I would suggest making a park lot to start with.

If you want to have the lot appear in the Airport menu, you need to edit it in Reader afterwards.
The Occupant Groups of the building exemplar needs to be changed from 0x00001005,0x00001006 to 0x00001003,0x00001508

[Voltaire]

The quick'n dirty way to edit an existing RMIP or ACB lot: add the Landmark OccupantGroup (0x0000150A) using ilive's Reader. It's not necessary to change the other OccupantGroups, they're in the ParentCohort anyway . The icon will go to the Landmark menu, and the Save As button will become available in LE. When you want it back in the Airport menu, just go back into Reader and delete the Landmark code.


First new aircraft in quite awhile, the Airbus A321!



bmi (British Midland) are just now repainting their eurowhite A321 fleet, to match the livery put on their other types of jets.


and here's a little hint on the direction the prefabs are going...



lots of new stuff in there, and lots more to come.

[pilotdaryl]

The A320 is lookin' good!  So is that prefab terminal!  Where did you get the smaller planes on the lower left... no wait, I think I already have them on my hard drive...

[ShadeSlayer]

Lookin' good, Voltaire.

[iamgoingtoeatyou]

That prefab lot is just a genius idea, it'll help many who don't have the patience or time to build a nice looking airport! The Airbus is incredible aswell. Awesome job!

[feliwi]

Hi together, great work you're planning in here. Just another question:
Is there a possibility to get all planes you've done so far without jetways in a prop pack? The reason is that I would like to use CRJ or 747s fpr bus gates or on taxiways and runways too!

Thanks, feliwi

[Voltaire]

Before this can happen I need to create the models and textures all over again. The majority of my SC4 files were lost or damaged last year. Because I'm in the middle of large projects now, there will be some time before the whole set is repaired.

The restore process is slowly proceeding, for example the CRJ200 and CRJ700 are working again, with 5 new airlines between them. Just one 744 is intact (Lufthansa) so a lot of work to do there.
