LakeSide Dirt Strip Scenery.

From 89TX fly 300 degrees for a couple miles across the lake.

This is a fictitious airbase located in Central Texas with easy access to several major airports. (Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Houston to name a few).

With no actual runways this scenery is designed for Float Planes and has a ramp to accommodate Amphibious aircraft. **HOWEVER**, both dirt roads by the ramp area have been used for landing when no one was watching. You have to be careful though, the roads are short. On the NW side of area there is another dirt road with large area lights on both sides so illegal night landings are easy. There is about 1000 feet of usable road to land on before the road slopes up-hill too much for landing so bring your Tundra tires on your STOL aircraft. Landing on that dirt road, regardless of wind, should be approximately 335 degrees. Take-off should be on a 155 degree heading. Landing 155 degrees or taking off 335 degrees could get exciting.

Only a couple hangers are occupied so jump in and set up shop in any of the vacant hangers.

This scenery was created with the included FSX Deluxe Object Placement Tool on FSX default texture and mesh. No flattening or excludes were used so taxi around the scrub brush. This scenery is FSX only and it's free. If you don't like it, delete it. :)

Installation:

Simply unzip the *.bgl file(s) into the Addon Scenery/scenery folder.

Uninstall:

Remove the file(s) from the Addon Scenery/scenery folder.

These files are distributed as FREEWARE.

DISCLAIMER: Scenery has been tested solely with FSX. Varying results might occur with FSX configuration other than FSX default mesh and textures.
