sorry bro, the total work related to FS is in halt due to my schedule these days; beside this the land line at my home is also not operational and ministry of communication is not taking any action to fix it even after 4 complaints logged

Hello Ahmed (VPIA) & everyone on this great HOP flightsimulation platform,

long time no update on this project but here are a few words for this post.

New fellow FS designer Mohammed Sarmad aka msarmadk has inspired me a lot to consider this aborted project Sialkot International Airport once again and hope to complete it as soon as possible Insha'Allah.

With his initial help and support, i have been able to understand a bit about the new techniques & tools used in designing the scenery ground texturing. Still it is a learning stage specially in graphics which are not good through my hands.

Anyhow, spent around 2 days for experimenting the same. So far, the progress is good Alhamdulillah and i hope that soon i will be able to lay down the ground polygons. Currently working on rwy 04/22 and hope to complete it soon Insha-Allah.

And i hope that everyone whoever has interest in this project will be anxiously waiting to see the screenshots for the progress so far but i think there will be some time in sharing those screenshots at the moment so please wait for a while!

BTW, if anyone can help me for having the navigational charts, frequencies or other necessay details which can help desiging the scenery then please drop me an email with details.

some clarifications are required, if anyone can help?

Beside the runway, there are numbers like 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. These numbers represents the remaining lenght of runway and help the pilot to know the remaining length of runway ahead upon landing or even takeoff. What particular distance is kept in between these number markers? by feet or meters?

Like the runway for sialkot airport is 3600m in length, so what number sequence is there in actual and with what distance?

Secondly, does anyone know the parking IDs at Sialkot aerodrome? as per google earth, 3 parkings are for jets and 3 are for turboprops.

[msarmadk]

I am pretty sure that these are placed 1000 feet apart. So that would be almost 11811 feet for Sialkot airport, so you'd place it 9 times between the two ends of the runways with a distance of 1000 feet between each one and you'd have to leave 400 feet on each side for extra precautions!

thank you everyone for the replies through PMs as well as through this thread. Today, i would like to share with you some screenshots for the progress so far....hope you will find them at satisfactory level

I am redoing the ground textures with some greenry added as the google earth images are not showing the actual colors but in upcoming previews, i will post the screenshots with new textures...appron is in construction at the moment and will be completed once i complete the ground texturing.... does anyone know the parking IDs? please let me know...

runway basic textures are complete but have to add some effects like landing gear touchdown marks etc...which will be added soon....

And please do let me know with your comments so i can ammend accordingly or add further details.... so no more waiting and here we go!!!
