    It is nice to see you giving proper credit the model source is X-Plane and you're importing - I'm sure you received permission so thanks for doing the right thing.  One suggestion to think about:  the runway textures, while they look high res, still need work (seams, repetitive wear, mirroring, etc.).

    I didn't say the model from X-Plane.  only the texture.

    the texture skin is just to show the AB it is not final. it is taken form Xplane game.

    The model is my making. but really thank you for your comment.

    This MaxScript generates Weighted Vertex Normals for any arbitrary geometry.

    It should be compatible with 3DSMAX 9 and up. No dependencies on this script are added to scene files, so your scenes can be shared with users who don't have this script installed without issues.

    'Weighting' of vertex normals means that each face normal contribution is scaled by a property of the triangle. This script uses the triangle surface area and corner angle as influences. The result of this is that a small triangle will have less influence on the shading of its larger neighbor. Likewise, the neighbor will have a larger influence on the shading of the smaller neighbor.

    See this illustration:

    The U.S. Air Force has confirmed that F-22 Raptor stealth fighters were deployed to Qatar.

    U.S. Air Force announced that the fifth-generation jet fighters have arrived in Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar for the first time to “defend American forces and interests in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility.”

    The Military.com reported that Raptors have in the past been stationed at Al Dhafra Air Base, United Arab Emirates. The fifth-generation fighter had been part of the air campaign against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria since the fight began in 2014; they returned home last fall, and were replaced by F-15C Eagles earlier this year.

    The F-22, a critical component of the Global Strike Task Force, is designed to project air dominance, rapidly and at great distances and defeat threats attempting to deny access to our nation’s Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps. The F-22 cannot be matched by any known or projected fighter aircraft.

    This script will transfer the normals from a source object to a target object, based on distance.

    Transfering normals might have several uses : fix shading artefacts, enhance foliage cards look, toon shading...

    Pick the source object, select the target object/faces and press steal !

    Works with any geometry object.

    Keeps the stack.

    Adds an Edit Normals modifier.

    Script will be found in the customize UI under category "Noors"

    Quick copy-paste object material to another object
     
    COPY_MAT-DEMO.gif

    note:
    Limited for poly to poly :
    - Only copy UVW Mapping can not use by undo.

    Limited for Mesh to Mesh :
    - Copy UVW Mapping & material ID can not use by undo.
    - The script does not work well if source or selection have modifiers.

    usage:
    select one or multiple object - run this macroscript and then pick another object having material, it's automatic paste into object selection.

    install:

    Hi swambast, I was thinking of making them completely from scratch, but if there are any model out there free and it's good why not.  But I really would like to go through the experience and learning from my work as I go a long to improve my self.  But yes if they are out there I will use it or maybe use the model as a blueprint for the new model. (credit will be give to the author of the model if I use there work, like I did with the Saab Radar truck)

    thanks Soulfreak, for the line and this is really a nice find
