FSX Plateau Sky Ranch Scenery

Plateau Sky Ranch (1F2), Edinburgh, New York (NY). An improved version of this two grass runway airport now with added hangars, corrected runways, added parking, fuel, light pole and more. By Jim Cook.

Here is an improved version of the stock Plateau Sky Ranch. This is a privately owned field, open to the public. It consists of two grass runways and is located just north of the Great Sacandaga Lake. In FSX, there were no buildings at all, so I added the hangar, and the hangars and planes that are located across a public road. I moved both runways because, with UTX, the road crossed both runways. Now the runways clear the road. In FSX there were taxiways with hold-short lines, taxiway signs, etc, which didn't belong so they were removed. I added a dirt driveway, parking area, fuel station, light pole, flag, and a couple of local houses and barn.

There is a lot of nice scenery in any direction from Plateau Sky Ranch. If you take off from runway 6 and follow the waterway you will come to the earthen Conklingville dam and the upper Hudson River.

I've added an extra file for UTX users called Boats.bgl. It will add several marinas and boats in correct locations on the Great Sacandaga Lake. In the winter, simply rename the file to Boats.bXX so the boats don't show up. In the spring, rename it back to Boats.bgl.

I use Ultimate Terrain and FSGenesis landclass but they are not required. All objects are stock FSX so no additional object libraries are needed. Updates made using AirNav diagrams and Google Earth to be as accurate as possible. All work done with Flight 1's AFX program and Instant Scenery.

INSTALLATION:

Extract the files 1F2_AFX_JC.bgl and 1F2_JC.bgl into your Addon Scenery/Scenery folder, re-start FSX and enjoy. If you have UTX-USA you can also install the file Boats.bgl as well.
