X-Plane 11/10 AD3 Boston Bar Scenery

Expert Overview

This custom AD3 Boston Bar Scenery for X-Plane 11/10 recreates a small, disused emergency strip in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley. Positioned near the Blue Lake Resort, it’s perfect for sim pilots looking for a remote place to set down in an otherwise challenging canyon environment. Compatible with Ortho4XP mesh and orthophotos, it preserves the area’s rugged nature through its Runway Follows Terrain feature, ensuring a more authentic look despite uneven ground contours around the runway.

Optimized for performance, this scenery incorporates objects from the 3D People Library, The Handy Object Library, JB Library, FF Library (extended version), World Model Library, OpenSceneryX, and the RD Library to add detail and realism. Having tested this mod extensively, it provides a welcome extra layer of immersion for bush flyers and enthusiasts seeking a distinctive challenge, while still remaining gentle on system resources.

This mod was installed, tested and reviewed by Adam McEnroe for Fly Away Simulation. Adam is an FS mod expert. Read his bio here.

Fraser Valley A, British Columbia, Canada. A small 'abandoned' emergency strip near the Blue Lake Resort in the Fraser Valley near Boston Bar. Nothing more than a field with some markers, for folks having to land somewhere other than a canyon.

This scenery was designed to work with Ortho4XP mesh and orthophotos (Bing source). However, the mesh still isn't 100%. Keep 'Runway Follows Terrain' feature on! The hills next to the runway will look horrible with a flattened airfield.

Requires the latest versions of the following libraries: 3D People Library (3D_PEOPLE_LIBRARY.ZIP), The Handy Object Library (THE_HANDY_OBJECTS_LIBRARY.ZIP), JB Library (JB_LIBRARY.ZIP), FF Library (extended version) (FF_LIBRARY_EXTENDED_LOD.ZIP), World Model Library (WORLD2XPLANE.ZIP), OpenSceneryX (OPENSCENERYX.ZIP) and the RD_Library (RD_LIBRARY.ZIP).
