Milano,Linate X - Front Terminal car parking

Something change in this last year in Linate. New car parking arises, especially in front of terminal, so i had to redesign things...

Parking starts from main airport entry

Right for Taxies, center for Buses, left for cars

It develops till the front of the terminal

Milano Linate X - Some little improvements

One of the things that i'm doing now is to optimize and sharp textures, having found new interesting procedures in photoshop. Work was mainly focused on terminal and hangar buildings....let's see some improvements. Pictures where all taken from Gmax.

New textures for Terminal. And also some new signs...

The Emporio Armani gains its eagle. And lit very well at night.

The ENAV radar complex is finished. Radar antenna is rotating in the simulator

Another example of new-sharp textures for the cargo area.

Next tasks will be the optimization of the area of front terminal, and the creation of the new parking lots. Hope to share soon the new improvements!

ParthenoSim dead? Oh no...not at all!!! :)

Ok, time to explain what happened in these months...basically i'm facing three annoying things that influence the project. Let's get explain ;)

Point one: project in NOT dead, it is only slowing its shaping, essentially because i'm working on a really vintage PC that led me to difficult test the scenery also on FS2004. Soon i hope to change it with a brand new high-end computer to drastically imp

rove my throughput.

Point two: i'm facing some major personal problem with my professional life. This implies that i'm using my time to do interviews with companies and found a new job. It's crisis time also for me...but i'm not desperate...i'm from south Italy and our people is always smiling and fighting with positive mood for their things :)

Point three: burocracy...yes, this is the cancer that kill new start-up in Italy before they born. As my publisher request a valid VAT ID to do (obviously) invoicing to support the selling, i'm exploring how i can get one having also a permanent contract with another company. Yes, i know it can sound a bit odd, but surely i cannot live and eat only making scenery, not at this time :)

I think that is right to share with simmers these things and I'm confident to give a solution to every point in a shorter time...in the meantime i'm still working on project and soon i will show some goodies for you all. This project is more over the "point of no return" so it cannot dead...:)

I'll keep in touch in a while.

Milano Linate X - Landmarks (Part 1)

Altough Linate is one of major commercial aviation city-hub of Italy, its GA and VFR activity is relevant. Milan is a city full of skyscrapers, telecommunication towers, railway stations and so on. So I have decided to create some important landmarks that can help the VFR pilot to find the way and the IFR pilot to make more enjoyable it's approach. They will released in bundle with the scenery airport itself. Here are some work in progress pictures from GMAX:

Telecom Italia communication tower - 187m AGL (Rozzano)
