[From the Building Department] Building in flight simulators

Stay Home Airlines is a group of members who love architecture. I didn’t think I would make a scenery at first, but after meeting Takahappy, the MGR of the operation department, I ended up making a FSX/P3D scenery.

At SHA, we use SkechUp Make 2017 as our modeling software. This software is not specifically related to flight simulators, but can be used in various fields such as architecture. You can recreate your dream home, airport, and other buildings.

I got lost in the modeling while watching the instructional videos on YouTube. I’ve always been a fan of boxy gardens, so I created the scenery as if I were obsessed with it.

The first work that I released to the world was Okhotsk Mombetsu Airport. I’m still sneaking in upgrades, but the first version was released on October 18, 2020. It was one week after I started building with a flight simulator. Although I tend to stay at home at this time, I am starting to enjoy things like going to site surveys.

There are new discoveries to be made in the space you are living in. It becomes very difficult to suppress the excitement of seeing the shape of the building. In my next article, I would like to introduce the software necessary for building and explain how to use it.
