Tatra "HASICI" can take its place in scenery. Another model. An old cargo truck at the airport. Perhaps someone remembers the cars of the formerly East German Democratic Republic Industrieverband Fahrzeugbau, they created small electric cars, small trucks. We will have two models: the iFA W50 truck (first screen) and the IFA-Multicar 2577 electric car. After the merger of Germany, Industrieverband Fahrzeugbau returned to the fold of Mercedes and now produces Mercedes products. About ten days I will be engaged in statics. What is planned: Mercedes tanker (modern model); on the base of the old Tatra "fire escape"; modern tractor for A320, B737; Mercedes-based car for surface treatment in winter; Mitsubishi L200 (administrative). Installation for start-up, hydraulics maintenance, fire-prevention Iveco will move from Kosice.

Some models of static aerodrome services vehicles are migrating from Kosice, but will be partially edited. There will also be made exclusive cars that are at Poprad Airport based on old Tatra cars. Among them are a tanker, a snowplow, a machine for surface treatment of aircraft in the winter. I am grateful to my new friends from Slovakia who helped me find photos of the above airfield cars. In the meantime, work on the garage in LZTT is in full swing.

At this point, I am completing ATE helicopters for scenery Poprad - Tatry. Going back to the airport buildings.

One of the static models will be the Bell 407 of AIR - TRANSPORT EUROPE. A fairly interesting process for creating aircraft models in SketchUp

While working on the project, I found out that Poprad Airport has one of AIR divisions - TRANSPORT EUROPE, in the fleet of which is AGUSTA A109, which I decided to make a static model for scenery Poprad - Tatry. The original building in ATE colors will also definitely be in LZTT

The building with the control tower is ready. I did not want to make it very dirty, with drips, etc. The interior of the tower will be quite simple. The ceiling with ceiling lamps, which will be on the texture, several simple tables, armchairs and a couple of monitors. The interior of the tower can also be disabled in the configurator.

Thanks for the coordinates! Try to reduce ground and air traffic in the simulator settings in Kosice. If you have set the maximum number of generated objects in the simulator, try to reduce these values. These are the characteristics of my computer: Intel (R) Core (TM) i5-3450 CPU 3.10 GHz RAM 16 Geforce GTX 1060 HDD - SSD 250 Gb Attached screenshots of the settings in the simulator. With these settings, I have approximately the same frame rate at all airports from 30 to 35. As a rule, I tested frame rates on the ATR 42 Carenado. I understand that settings are a purely individual thing. Once I tried to configure the video card using the proposed settings NVIDIA Inspector. The image was beyond praise but the frame rate at the same time dropped sharply throughout the simulator. These settings were not for my computer specifications. I’ll think that it’s possible to adjust when preparing the Kosice update so that the frame rate is higher. Poprad is 70% equipped with 3D objects. Remained static, animation of energy-intensive components. So far I do not see problems with frequent frame rates. More flexible Poprad configuration in a configurator is supposed. I am in this thread on the forum, or in Kosice I wrote my email address, you can write to me on it.

The remaining buildings are simpler than the administrative. But it will be done with "taste" like real buildings at the airport. What is planned. Windows will of course be with slopes, rather detailed frames and glass. The four-story building has two central entrances on both sides. The control tower will be with transparent windows and interior. On the balcony around the tower voluminous fences. The garage for cars and the hangar will be partially open with an internal frame made of texture. There will be one of the fire engines in the garage. There will be a small plane in the hangar. This is how I see it at this stage.

Good evening everyone! I finished work on the administrative building of the Poprad - Tatry airport and decided to make a small fact-finding video. Video animation created in SketchUp. SketchUp lets you make simple animations for videos. Sound imposed by the standard Windows 10 program. The next stage is the creation of office buildings of the airport and hangars.

Almost the front part that goes onto the platform is ready. The upper part of the building where the inscription "AIRPORT" has not yet been made. We also need to work with textures: make normal maps, a specular, add gloss for metal, prepare night textures. Did a test in the simulator. I like The following screenshots I will show closer to testing the project. I work on LZTT every day, so I think that in the second half of spring we can enjoy Poprad - Tatry Airport

Here is the model of the office building. You need to prepare textures and "dress" him;)

Thanks! Some users ask about frame rates. Poprad Airport is not a large airport, so some points can be done in sufficient detail. I would like the interior to be a feature of this project, so I paid special attention to it. 3D models are quite well optimized and at the same time look in detail. In addition, users will be given a choice in the configurator of two options for the interior, full and lightweight. The next stage, administrative buildings and hangars

Actually, work on the interior is completed. Some touches remained, very small and closer to the evening the interior will be with a passenger terminal in the simulator.

Testing the completed part in the simulator, a test flight and adjustments that still need to be done. Overall i'm pleased

The check-in room is almost ready. We will proceed smoothly to the control and security zone.
