@PlaneFlightX Ok, I'll consider that. Might have to find a place where it doesn't conflict with The Items mod. Are you factoring that in by any chance, including the recent island update for that mod?
@BaconEggs
Yeah ok, I actually have downloaded that, and know some things about Unity already. And yes, I am modelling my own assets. The airport is actually done, but its the touch up stage that is taking so long.
@BaconEggs Ah, makes sense. Would you be willing to give a little advice on my airport mod? I always feel as if something is missing, no matter what I do.
Also, I can never get the right ground textures. Any recommendations? Maybe I can share with you what I have right now and see how you like it.
@TheMouse Yeah I know, I know. It is still plodding on, with a little while yet to go.
To answer your question, I downloaded Google Earth Pro (no, its not a paid pro version. Its just a more complex app for people to use, where you can save out the imagery as well).
In Unity I then had to transform it into a usable texture, for the surrounding terrain.
For the actual airport, though, I took a higher resolution close up shot of only the airport and used AI to increase the resolution (massive improvement there). I imported it into Unity, this time making it into a 2D image that I overlayed onto the corresponding location on the rest of the terrain. That's how you get the higher quality airport surrounded by the lesser quality terrain.
I added some 3D buildings for extra effect, adjusted the height of the terrain, smoothed out some kinks, and here it is. It took several days, maybe just under a week of relaxed work?
@LunarEclipseSP Although this isn't really my focus right now. I'm working on a much more detailed international airport, and its taking up my attention
@ODCRAFT6
The first step to taking good screenshots is knowing all the different components. This guide really helped me: link to guide
Pay attention to the FOV, that is one the most important things in my screenshots.
For me, I also use a extra app called Reshade which enhances the graphics quality in SimplePlanes, real-time in-game. Their website: link to website
There is a tutorial to install for SimplePlanes by one of the users here, so let me know if you are interested. Only available for PC download though, and not as if a mobile device could handle it anyway. Very demanding.
Oh, and your screenshots are done. You can find them here: link to screenshots
I did two styles, because I couldn't decide which was better. I hope you like it!
@hpgbproductions Just the assets folder? Not the full project folder? Isn't there other parts necessary to recreate the mod, like the scripts and other unity data?
@hpgbproductions Someone asked me (for my map mod) to make available the source code, but I have no idea what it actually is or how to get it. Seeing as you have done it here, could you please tell me what I need to do?
@JaxHere Can you find me an example of a simpleplane mod with the source code available? I need to know what I need to produce. I tried looking, but all I could find were the xinshan or antonov airports, which I found out their source code buttons are actually being used for something else.

@Karroc9522 Thanks, and yes, they are all in-game pictures!
@Apollo018362 Yeah, it is a shame. I wish I could.
+1@TheUltimatePlaneLover Thanks!
@PlaneFlightX It is a standalone map... with something extra! It's a secret for now, though ;)

@SPsidearm How dare they stick their fingers into our land!!! World War 4!!! (WW3 being the war to retrieve the single machine gun)
@SPsidearm To WAR then!!! Off with their acursed heads!
@Karroc9522 idk
@Podphong3212 Ok, good! The post I used it on is HERE, hope you like it
@SPsidearm We only need a lone soldier's finger on our territory to start a world war
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 @RealMicroZackSP 😉
@RealMicroZackSP Sure!
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 Its our problem, because it just is. We're the MDA, we don't need a reason to go to war!
Of course..... we need more war!

Nice, I probably wont participate but I would love to see what comes out!
