How to create/add and airport on a map?

[celestHawk]

I would like to add/create/modd or whatever is called appropratly for such task the airport/airfield/landing stip (choose one) on that exact place in Afghanistan map as it is provided already by the developers in here. Next step will be to recreate it in Persian Gulf map as well - so far I downloaded the TAC info from 'beacons.lua' file. 

My silly question is how do I do that - create an airport on any map as there are so many missing and I get it that is not possible to get them all at once from ED yet? null

People have tried this before you, and will be very happy if you manage to do it.

I'm sure they did but two days searching bare no fruit on that matter that's why I'm asking. So it is not possible or no one knows how?

Nobody has found a solution yet. And they have tried! So, I'd say that currently the answer is "no, unfortunately not"!

Well, for a starter, you would likely have to model them in blender/3ds first.

After that, you have to give them some collision model so you don't fall through.

And then, you can use either existing invisible FARPs for resupply, or try coding it as a FARP directly.

However it seems like there is a size limit. If you make it too big you might get weird shadows.

There's also someone who built a ramp for DCS, so if you experience weird glitches with the collision model, perhaps that ramp has something special, if you need guidance.

I'm sure there is quite more to this and now I have the picture why it is so hard and slow. Anyhow I'd like to learn how to do it myself if there is someone to teach

Thanks!
