simbambim Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) Somebody had started a detailed work on this airport many years ago but abandoned it for some reason. The airport was destroyed in real world. Reconstructed using historical satellite imagery, photos and charts from 2012-2014.

Janov Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Hi - your pictures look great - but there are no "historical" airports allowed on the Gateway. This also goes for some other iconic airports like Hongkong, for example. I personally have a very strong opinion about the events that led to the destruction of this airport, but political statements have no place here.😐 Let´s just say I hope that the airport will be rebuilt in the real world very soon under the ICAO code of UKCC and maybe you can hold on to your file and upload it then. Stay strong, Jan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay strong, Jan Hmm, I thought it was allowed, just that they put an X mark in front of the name or something? 🤔 So it will be rejected? ☹️ Edited June 1, 2023 by simbambim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) Yes, indeed. Gateway is great because it will end up at some point as a deafult airport. But here in the download manager, you will find a petazillion of airports that are not on the gateway for whatever reasons.

Janov Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 You can upload a closed airport at the Gateway - but it would need to reflect the current (destroyed) status. Just putting the [X] in front of the name is not enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would try to upload it like that and see if it goes through the barrage. Your airport is splendid, that would be a shame not to submit it in the gateway. Since political stuff is not allowed here, it's in my opinion a good reason to not depict the airport as destroyed in the gateway! You may reduce to only one or two the AI aircraft parking positions of the smaller type in WED to avoid having the airport very populated by AI. Also remove the ground vehicles to make it look like more desertic. Edited June 16, 2023 by XPJavelin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I make these changes and resubmit it? By removing ground vehicles, do you mean static or moving vehicles (it doesn't have any service vehicle network anyway)?

No don't resubmit, you'll see and wait for the next batch as required. Moving ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
