AFCAD File For KBOI

Boise Air Terminal/Gowen, Boise, Idaho (ID) (default). This is part of the seventh round of airports issued by Alpha India Group. By Kyle Cormier and Alpha India Group.

Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field is a joint military/ civilian airport and is home to both the Idaho Air National Guard and the National Interagency Fire Center. The U.S. Forest Service uses Boise as a base of operations for Air Tankers during wildfire season. The military side is home to the 190 Fighter Squad of A-10's, and C-130's from the 189 Airlift Squad. Boise commercial terminal saw over 3,100,000 passengers pass through its gates in 2008. Biose is in the process of building a new control tower for use beginning in late 2010 that will be used to control an existing National Guard airstrip, and a proposed 3rd runway in 2015.

Main Changes:

• All surface features were redone to match the real world look of the airfield.
• Default airport layout adjusted due to it not matching up with real world layout.
• Added or enhanced aprons for A-10, C-130, and other military aircraft that use or transition this airport.
• Changed all terminal and apron parking to match online references and coded as necessary for commercial, military and military cargo aircraft
• Added fire stations, military service areas, and enhanced cargo areas.
• Changed the Tower viewpoint above the tower roof.
• Created an extensive vehicle network to avoid delays to departing aircraft and to keep service vehicles off taxiways and increased the number of fuel trucks available.
• Added buildings, parked cars and various other elements to add realism to the airport (Acceleration may be needed to view some of these enhancements)
• Added heliports to their proper location.
• Added roadway system around parking structure.
