KDTW-Detroit Metro Airport-Developer Version

[HamMan2118]

Hi @OltcitRoom! I like all of the work you are doing for DTW. I fly there a lot and it’s looking really realistic based on the pictures! (I play on XBOX, so I can’t download the airport)

I was at DTW Last week and took some videos of the airport. I thought I would put them on the thread so you had a reference while building if you needed them.

Here are the videos below. Copy and paste the link into the browser. Let me know if the links(s)don’t work.

Links to your local c: drive wont work, of yourse, they are on your pc, not online. Upload them to youtube or streamable or something.

Sorry about that!

Hope these videos help! DTW is one of my favorite airports to fly in and out of both in the sim and irl. I used Sunskyjet’s beta version for P3D, so this scenery as freeware is absolutely fantastic. If I had a piece of constructive advice, @OltcitRoom, it would be that the McNamara Terminal buildings in real life are much closer to white/gray in color rather than the beige that they appear to be in this scenery. That color difference is quite stark, and I think it would make a huge improvement to this scenery. The videos sent by @HamMan2118 demonstrate this, and additionally the Sunskyjet scenery for P3D may be help in terms of nailing certain details. I wonder if Shez Ansari from the Sunskyjet team would be willing to assist with this scenery and in perhaps combining efforts here…

I am updating all texture to the entire airport, i will change the color of McNamara terminal as well.
If you guys need me to change/update anything please let me know, i havnt been to DTW airport so i am relying on pictures.
Thanks

hoping you can add some wear to the textures somehow so everthing doesn’t look shiny and new on the outside.

[OltcitRoom]

Something like that?

[HamMan2118]

Wow! You’re good!

[JEP795]

Yeah that looks great, even if you can make the wear a tad lighter because I don’t think it’s as heavy in real life, but you’re on to something. Excellent work!

[OltcitRoom]

I agree, i will make changes untill it looks perfect

[WalllessMage51]

You rock! KDTW is getting the royal treatment–so fun to follow your progress, thanks so much!

[Aviator993258]

Amazing–you are very talented! The colors look much closer to the real deal now. Copying some images that may be helpful to you as you continue with this project, especially with regard to the roof modeling on the McNamara terminal concourses, window details, ramp lights and structural details, building lighting, etc.:

Additionally, here’s a video of a DTW departure that has some very nice high quality views of the terminal exterior: Delta Airbus A350-900 Detroit (DTW) - Tokyo (NRT) Takeoff + Landing - YouTube

Thanks a lot for the pictures, it does help a lot. Now i have a better picture of the roof.
I think i will have to model the roof , there is no way i can make it like that with textures ,lol
Got work to do

[Aviator993258]

You’re the man, can’t wait to see what you come up with. And of course thank you for making this labor of yours available to us free of cost!

[OltcitRoom]

How do you like me now?

[geoffda]

You had me with the initial release, but seriously, you are KILLING IT with this airport. Thanks so much for all of your hard work for the community!

[geoffda]

P.S. Are you teasing us with those pics or is the upload imminent? I immediately went over to flightsim.to, but it isn’t there yet .

[paisl3ypark]

Your progress is outstanding!

[OltcitRoom]

I am sorry for nor releasing anothe version yet, i am still working on texturing the terminals with PBR textures. Its a slow process for sure.

[geoffda]

No worries whatsoever. I’ll look forward to the next version what it shows up. Thanks again!
