Westover Air Reserve Scenery.

MS didn't do much with military bases in FSX. Here is an improved version of the stock Westover ARB. I added Military_cargo parking spaces and GA spaces at Metropolitan Airport which occupies a small part of Westover ARB. I added the fire station and fire trucks. I removed and replaced most default buildings, added additional buildings and moved the control tower. I added static fuel trucks, parking lots with cars, static planes, and light poles. I added, removed, or adjusted taxiways and aprons as needed to more closely resemble the real world base.

Westover is the largest Air Reserve Base in the world and is a backup landing site for the space shuttle.

I use Just Flight's Military Plus Packs and they work fine with this airport. I also 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.

I will be doing other military bases as time permits.

INSTALLATION:

Extract the two files KCEF_AFX_JC.bgl and KCEF_JC.bgl into your Addon Scenery/Scenery folder, re-start FSX and enjoy.
