FSX BollingAFB/Anacostia NAS Scenery

Bolling AFB and Anacostia NAS scenery recreates the historic Washington, DC airfields, restoring runways, field layout, and military atmosphere for classic operations long after fixed-wing flying ended in 1962. Built for FSX, it places a flatten file to keep terrain aligned and supports immersive local traffic and VFR touring.

BollingAFB/Anacostia NAS Scenery.

Anacostia & Bolling were closed to fixed wing traffic in 1962,and both Navy & Air Force fixed wing flying operations for the Washington DC area moved to the much larger & less crowded Andrews AFB a few miles to the East. This is another Sharkey attempt to revive closed or unknown airports in the US.

A couple years back, I ran into a website called "Abandoned and Little Known Airfields" by Paul Freeman. There I saw airports that I had not seen in many years. In some cases, I had only seen their ruins. It inspired me to create these airports in FS. This site has become my inspiration and reference "jumping off" point in a lot of my designs.

INSTALLATION:
All but one file go into /Addon Scenery/Scenery.
AFX_KBOF_ALT.bgl goes into /Scenery/World/Scenery.

That file is a Flatten file that will be needed to - Oh, I don't know... flatten.

ISSUES:
You may find the ground peeking through the runway - very rarely and for a short time. At this point, I am baffled, befuddled, confused, and even a little flummoxed. It's really a minor thing though.

AS ALWAYS:
I hope you enjoy this as much as I. I welcome CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and help. I do this as a hobby and, as such, charge nothing. If satisfied, drop me a line. If dissatisfied, let me know and feel free to delete it or dive-bomb on it.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D scenery
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
  2. Place scenery in Addon Scenery

    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.
  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
