Stockholm/Bromma ESSB v.2 - preview
(will include new photo scenery of Stockholm City )
The new control tower at Stockholm/Bromma airport
in night light on its hill in the middle of the airport. In the background
to the left the former SAS main office and to the right one of the old
hangars now functioning as part of a big mall.
Here you will find the first preview of the coming version 2 of our Stockholm/Bromma scenery. The whole scenery, including the new mesh following photo scenery covering Stockholm City, is remade from the ground. Nothing from the old version is kept - the airport is made up to date as it looks now in the spring of 2006. New buildings since the last version are added and those who are gone are taken away. No job have been saved in finding the latest pictures for the photo textures for ALL buildings, the measures for them have been calculated with a laser meter - probably making this scenery one of those built with the highest precision in the world.
For us in Sweden this airport is a little special, being both the old big international airport in the country but also a great local airport where a lot of old and younger flyers have been taught the art of flying during many years. Also today the airport has a very mixed usage. It is the great City airport of Stockholm where you very easy can reach many parts of the country and also some destinations abroad. But is still also one of the big airports in Stockholm for business and private flying, housing a lot of companies dedicated to this type of operations.
The scenery will hopefully cover the needs of all sorts of interested users, both for those who want a flyable airport (with high frame rate) and still built with precision and great realism but also for those Bromma enthusiasts that want a scenery where you can "walk around" and study all realistic details in every corner.
Bromma airport opened May 23, 1936 (70 year jubilee this year) and was the first airport in Europe having asphalt runways together with Tempelhof in Berlin. Many buildings from those old days are found at the airport and they are still very well preserved. Because of that and because of their typical style from the period (functionalism/modernism), Bromma airport is therefore a listed historical site - two of the buildings are a National Building Heritage since 2000.
The scenery is under construction and no delivery date is decided yet, but we want to give you a first glance of what is going on in this project. Please come back now and then if you are interested and have a look at the progress.

A lot of details are still missing in the scenery, e.g.
all the many objects that will be on the aprons. In the pictures some textures
are also missing here and there.

Work is now going on to make the important night textures where the material comes from fresh pictures shot on location at dusk and night. It is not an easy task to recreate the difficult night lighting at an airport but we will give it a try. The following pictures show the not finished result. More complete pictures will be published later on. |
