Chubu Centrair Intl. Airport - RJGG

REPOSITORY: https://github.com/FGMEMBERS-SCENERY/RJGG-fg-CustomScenery

Since the Festival location is chosen, and It will be next May on Japan, I had look upon the status of the Scenery for Chubu Centrair.

The Airport

The gateway to central Japan, Chubu Centrair, is located on an artifical island on Ise Bay in Tokoname, Japan.



The Terra-sync situation



The airport in terrasync contains only a single default layout, which basically floats funny over the Bay.
This situation is inherited from XPlane, where the layout still existing is quite exactly the same





The Scenery Package

For years, fligthgear had a developed GPL version of Chubu Centrair prepared by Horacio Contreras from the South-American Group "ViveFG". This version exists in the ViveFG group as a scenery patch.

Recently, due to the fact that the next Festival will be held in Japan, I decided to restructure this as a full-fledged scenery package (that can be used by simply redirecting the launcher or via the command line, to the specific directory).

After restructuring, I had got to test the outcome. And all I can say is

BRAVO!! VIVE VIVEFG!!

It is a gorgeous piece of Work,
Thanks Horacio

Updating Terrasync

Here the situation is a bit conflicting.
stage 1) Can we get Gijs de Roy to release the xdat he used to generate this terrain to the xplane?
Without doing this most buildings are just boats.

stage 2) Hope for the best so the new airport data (xdat) gets a generated terrain.

stage ) Can somebody contact "elflauta" (Horacio Contreras) on Curtis' Forum to request permission to upload this to terrasync on his behalf? (there could be a reason he did not upload himself).
With elflauta's blessing, I will be happy to format these objects Terrasync-ready and put them up.


In the mean time, luckily downloading the updated scenery package is as simple as

Everybody,
Have fun!

Very nice, though I think it would be best to quickly transform it into an 850 layout, with beizer curves, and submit it to the gateway?

Sure. If you feel like it; go for it.
Using Gijs 810 as base for the 850 update would be great to be accurate in maintaining the correct proportions shown in this airport package. (as to avoid the bldgs being mislocated).
The apt.dat by Gijs is nowhere that I know of.
Maybe you want to shoot him a Curtis' Forum PM and see if he still has this file somewhere from 2010 to today.
Also, for what I see in this package, the terrain was generated with its own landclass definitions to create the "Island" terrain.

Hmm... let me see...

On a second thought, maybe the effect can be just achieved using the "Airport Boundary" class in XPlane WED.
So, if you feel like a brave to make the 850 of Chubu, I say, that'll be most that welcome. and if you get the 810 by Gijs, that guide will save you some headache trying to adjust this package well.

Here is the 810!

You should have it back by Sagurday....
I just finished Chitose. Need to check, then will submit.

Perfect. Now use that 810 to develop the nicer 850 with precision, so the bldg s don't move.

It's on it's way

I have most of the layout done. But the long bit is doing the signs, lighting, lineing, etc.

How do you get WED so blasting fast!?! (amazing!)
As soon as you get it, I'll try reconstructing the island. We don't need landclasess because the whole thing is floating in water
