What is your suggestion?
Zurich is currently a great airport with all the new terrain, terminals and textures. Being the newest airport as of 3.6.3, it is porbably one of the best looking in the game. However, I do find that the stand geometry and ground textures at the new Dock A and in between Dock A and B quite unrealisitc. Therefore, I am proposing a revised version of this area.
How would it work in the game?
Currently, the stand outlines around Dock A are quite messy, especially at the D-F class size side. They do not follow the pattern of the rest of the airport; the solid red lines show the outline for the D-F class stands, while the dotted line marks out the A-C class stands, as shown below. The West side of Dock A should be changed to reflect this pattern.For in between Dock A and B, it is probably better to just show you. I have attached some images below to show my proposal. Currently, it seems like the Devs had made all the ground textures for the current Zurich in real life, and then just put the new dock A ontop. This is even more apparent when the loading screen feature an A340 between dock A and B, like at the current Zurich!
Lastly, stands F70/1/2 and Stands 501/2 need a small rework. Their geometry isn’t correct and they are missing a few roads and jetblast barriers.
In real life, they are like this:
In game, they are too square-like and are missing a few roads around Stands 501/2, as well as jetblast barriers around them aswell.
Why is this a good idea?
Realism. It would also fix my OCD. I know its a big ask and probably a lot of unnecessary work for the developers as many players will not mind or even notice this; but I personally think it will bump up the immersion a bit and really feel like WoA has captured what the new changes to Zurich will look like, realistically.
Optional: Image or reference
Current in-game Zurich.New proposed textures, with changed roads, stand outlines and taxiways. Also, there are some additional jetbridges on the Dock B side to reflect the real Dock B more, and the now painted over old D-E class stands at Dock B, now a black line and unused.
New proposed Zurich with E190 for scale.
