Koh Samui Airport VTSM v0.1.4
Koh Samui airport in the gulf of siam, Thailand. I have flown through there about 50 million times so its a good one to do.
First things first. Removal of the completely oversized surrounding Ai buildings which should not be any higher than a coconut tree. (samui regulations)
Big Buddha Model added. An old model that i made a year ago, when i had no clue about vertex counts , demeshing or texturing. Model size reduced from 56 MB to 6 MB. (to be worked on)
Full airport rework coming with correct stand numbers and taxiways, runway markings and buildings
V0.1.4
East Apron Parking 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 operational
Big Buddha PBR textured with Gold, roof tiles and side walls with Metallic RGB workflow
Forget Taxi ribbons or Ai, it does not understand a single runway with no taxiways at the end of runway 35 or 17.
ATC will show a ribbon to turn into the runway too early, when you must taxi to the end of the runway and do a U turn.
Parking bays are GA_Ramp Large except for stand 1 and 10,11 (medium= no stairs available) If i set them to gates no stairs will show for boarding any of them.
ATC does not seem to understand Parking and shows no ribbon or parking number, probably due to confusion over a runway with no taxiways at each end.
Maybe sim update 7,8 or 9+
