King Seaaero Seaplane Base, FL. King Seaaero Seaplane Base is located two miles NW of Winter Haven, Florida, business district. It is a private seaplane base on two acres on Lake Cannon. Added to the default scenery are seaplane docks, small marina, static seaplane and land vehicles and ADF/NDB beacon to help locate the base. In landing at this base you have to fly low over house on the approach. Watch out for the boats on the lake. By Bruce Bouley.

My home airport is Ocala Intl (KOCF) and I enjoy flying Seaplanes/Float Planes in FSX. The problem I find is that FSX is lacking some good scenery objects for many of the seaplane bases. I decided to try my hand at adding some scenery objects to the default FSX seaplane bases beginning in my home state of Florida. I have also added ADF to this seaplane base to make it easier to find, since their are so many lakes and water areas in Florida, you can easily miss the actual base when trying to land.

King Seaaero Seaplane Base is Located 02 miles NW of Winter Haven, Florida, business district. It is a private seaplane Base on 2 acres of LAKE Cannon.

    Create a folder under FSX\Addon Scenery\ containing scenery and texture sub-folders.
  3. Activate in Scenery Library

    In FSX, go to Settings → Scenery Library → Add Area. Higher priority means it overrides lower entries for the same location.
