FSX LakeSide Dirt Strip Scenery

LakeSide Dirt Strip brings a fictitious Central Texas lakeside base to life in FSX, built for floatplanes with a ramp for amphibious aircraft. Dirt roads near the water and a lit northwest strip invite short-field STOL practice and after-dark approaches, while open hangars and scrub-brush taxi areas keep the atmosphere authentically rough and remote.

LakeSide Dirt Strip. 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. By Bob Smith.

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:

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

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.
