originally inspired by gsagostinho's regional textures changes to the middle east area, i wanted more improvements, so until now i had two buildings done for my local airport, OEJN - King Abdulaziz International Airport, and i thought to share my progress here before i publish to the scenery database, i also plan to improve the layout. but let's start...
the Hajj Terminal, is a building accommodating pilgrims coming over to Mecca for the Hajj ritual, it supported 6.2 million people in 2010, the building is split over two separate but identical halves(East and West, excluding the East Terminal shown in the picture below), each halve represent 5 adjacent "Modules", it covers an area of 465,000 square meters. Each module is arranged into a 3x7 "Tent Unit" arrangement, each fibreglass fabric "Tent Unit" is supported on all 4 corners by steel columns 45 meter high.
i managed to model this structure to scale using Blender:
here is my first aircraft livery, alongside my first 3d model ever!
my model vs reality:
1 - missing east Terminal Building, choice between old and new design.
2 - inner help and support buildings.
3 - Saudi flag on the face of the south western quad column of the 1st eastern Module, and on the south eastern quad column of the 1st western Module.
4 - tensioned support cables.
5 - "Tent Unit" fabric texture.
6 - Red Beacons at the top of the columns.
7 - Jetways A-1 to A-10 of the East Terminal.
took me a month to do it
