[raihans]

thank you sarmad for the link, i have checked the website and found very helpful!!!

Also, thank you hamad for kind words. But sadly informing that i have lost the GMAX file due to it got corrupt in midway, very disappointed by this behaviour of GMAX also, no backups at that time ; try level best with all possible options but to no avail so no choice left other than to restart once again. But i still hope that the scenery will be available soon to the flight sim enthusiasts.

No problems brother.

I ran into those problems a lot of time. Now I have a flash drive that I keep for backing up my scenery file sources!
And losing those *.gmax files is very heartbreaking!

Need any help with anything? You can ask me sir jee! I am always ready to help you out with it!

If you want me to create anything for you, I'll be happy to do so!

[raihans]

Sarmad, i hope Insha-Allah that it will not happened again as i am taking backup on each update. Also, note the problem with number of FS scenery designers.

Anyhow, thanks for your support.

[msarmadk]

InshAllah it won't but I didn't understand the part with scenery designers!

[raihans]

Sarmad, some typing mistake has happened.

Actually, i was to say that while browsing through fs developer forum, i found number of scenery designers faced this problem of file corruption.

Salam brothers,

I was away for a long time because of my exams but inshALLAH tomorrow i have last paper than i will be free.

and Rehan bhai your scenery was so beatyfull but the inconvenience that happend to you its happend also to me with my OTBD scenery so i have to redisgn it again.

im also planning to redesign my OPLA with complete ground textures and correct all problems which where in the scenery before ( frame rates and vehicles ecc.).

[raihans]

thank you shoaib for your message and wish you good luck with your OPLA v2.0

[msarmadk]

Great to see you working hard on it Raihan bhai.

And InshAllah you will be successful in making this a wonderful scenery.

As well as you Shoaib, good luck with OPLA v2.0

[raihans]

thank you sarmad.

3d approach lights for runway 04 are complete and counted a total of 220 lights. Number of polygons too high so have had to make 4 sets of BGL files and still flasher needed to be designed....considering the frame rate 40 fps (set), i got around 38/39 fps while standing near the approach lights. But i think this will sure effect once the electricity power will be connected to them

[raihans]

approach lights for rwy 04, electric supply (light effects) will be connected at last stages of the scenery

[msarmadk]

WOW! nice work with the 3D light bulbs.

[raihans]

thank you sarmad, drawing was not much difficult whereas the main part is remaining (attaching effects) seems to be bit difficult for me at this stage but will see later once i complete the structural design of OPST
