Would this be one of the warehouses? I guess all power-drills would be using Lightning-ports

Nope, this is the former QRA area where always 2 ready-to-fly Lightnings were waiting armed for some enemy visit in the 60s... Already been built from Ghostrida...

.. and uhm.. sorry Ugramedia...what is that building you placed at the spot where the Storage shelter should be....

here we go...

 

 

 

 So "storage shelter" is also not quite correct  ..... Not until the Harriers arrived in 1977, this building was used indeed as a kind of maintenance and support building from the mid 80s on. Made this also for P3D in the 80s era...Just as a detail how it did look those days...

Thanks to everybody...

I'm back at it.. yea i first thought it was a storage shelter but figured it was/is an QRA Shelter... @Manschy

Started working on this area.. guess its a repair workhshop or some.. i don't know.. other important building which is of course not modeled....

@Ghostrida9 when 1 AAC was there in 2008 it was home to RAF SES and REME aviation workshop , before that in 1996 it was QMs/FAACO. Not sure what it was when 18 Sqn were across the road in the big hangar.

Holy cow - you made my day each time I see all this fantastic new shots!!!

[Harry.R]

Looks great! I don't remember there being a the small fire escape/door and extension on the front, but it's been a while.

Thanks @Manschy 

@Harry.RThx alot, yea i go with what i got, thats a few pictures and mostly bing maps (bird view) https://www.bing.com/maps?cp=51.930275~8.2987&lvl=19.7&style=g&dir=-90... still not easy to make out some details.. but better then nothin', i wrote a message to the local Airbase museum, maybe they can provide some detailed pictures or someone is close by and got access to the base.. i'm too far away

Anyway.. next building in the works.. its close to the previous one.. don't know what this is either..looks interesting tho..

Working on the big one: HANGAR 1 – by far the most dominant and massive building at Gütersloh Airbase.

It still puzzles me why UGRA Media released a map without modeling such a central structure. This one really defines the airbase.

May i ask how this will work after finished the project?

Like a template with the buildings preplaced in a mission  and a trigger to clean the ground?

[Manschy]

GR9 - I am awed by your artwork! These developping skills take my breath away.... Especially the speed you are building those objects!

Some drone shots that might come in handy:

Thanks a lot for the flowers 

@Esac_mirmidon yes, you kinda got that right, if i'll ever finish this.. then yes, the package will contain a mission file, a zip folder called RAF_Gütersloh, a few triggers..everything needed.

I will set up a homepage for the whole project real soon, plus add stuff to a youtube channel cause i got a few ideas up my sleeve

The goal might be to work on more bases like Büchel, Pferdsfeld.. and lets see what will happen in phase 2.. and hopefully a big update for phase 1 cause so far all airbases are very inaccurate when it comes to the layout..i'm not even start to mention buildings..

@asinartThx, i knew this video allready...

working on some Small stuff.. gas tanks, electric boxes.. offices.. you name it
