FSX Fresno Yosemite Airport Scenery

Fresno Yosemite International Airport (KFAT) scenery livens up California’s Central Valley hub in FSX with carefully placed static aircraft and ground vehicles, creating a busier ramp without relying on heavy AI traffic. It also adds a fictional Fresno Air National Guard area at the southeast end of the field for added military atmosphere.

This scenery adds static aircraft and vehicles to the airport. I have also created a fictitious rendition of the Fresno Air National Guard base located at the south/east corner of the airport.

This scenery was created using the "object placement tool" included in the FSX SDK software and "Abacus Scenery Shortcut” software.

I think static aircraft & vehicles are a great way to add interest to an airport without the frame rate penalty of cranking up the traffic sliders. This is one of my first attempts and I am very happy with the results. I apologize for any possible slight alignment or orientation errors that you may discover. I have included the HTML document for those that want modify the scenery. Fresno is a good hopping off point as it is centrally located. I have also done some scenery for Fresno Chandler Executive (KFCH) and may post it at a later date if it appears that there is any interest in the KFAT scenery.

Installation:

Unzip the file to a temporary folder. There are a couple of ways to install this scenery. The simplest is to drop the BGL file (KFAT) into the FSX/Addon scenery/scenery folder and open and close the scenery library in FSX. I have also included a folder titled "KFAT" which also contains the bgl "KFAT" file. Copy this folder into the FSX/Addon scenery folder and activate it in the scenery library. The second method makes it easier to find and remove or deactivate the scenery.

The scenery is freeware and you may do anything you want with it except make money.

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.

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

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