This scenery features four of these float plane bases all within thirty minutes flying time. The bases are Rose Bay, Gosford, Long Jetty and Berowra Waters, a popular waterside restaurant. AI float plane traffic is a feature of the all sceneries which includes an operations guide for pilots not familiar with the area.
In addition a fictitious sea base has been included at Aeropelican. This small airport is a default FS2004 airfield some thirty minutes flying time from Sydney. A terminal area is added as are other feature of the airport. The scenery for Aeropelican is available in a separate download.
FS2004 has done quite a good job with the Sydney, Australia area but as always things can be improved. A further add-on scenery is available which greatly enhances Sydney Harbor and adds many well known landmarks to the area.
All the above sceneries are freeware by Clive Marriott.
