McAllen Miller Int'l Airport, Texas, v3.2. Scenery update of McAllen Miller International Airport (KMFE) in McAllen, TX. This update addresses some taxiway mistakes in previous version. Based on satellite imagery to near exact dimensions and textures for more realistic look. Includes the new McAllen Convention Center, the Border Patrol Station at the airport, the Dodge Arena south of the airport, the nearby mall, golf courses, hotels, etc. This version 3. 2 of KMFE does NOT have exemptions on autogen buildings and cannot be used with Toni Hiltunen's FS2004 McAllen scenery. If you would like to have local buildings (Chase building, Bentson Tower, and Nolana bank) and wish to use Toni's McAllen scenery, please download Toni Hiltunen's FS2004 McAllen scenery (MCALLNTX.ZIP, MCALLNFX.ZIP) and version 2. 2 of this scenery (XKMFE2_2.ZIP). By Brian Carlin.

This is an improved version of the FSX default KMFE airport. These modifications were made using ADE 1.37 and Stock FSX and FSX Acceleration Expansion Pack library objects. If you do not have the Expansion Pack installed some library objects will not display.
My modifications to the scenery are simple, but are based on first hand knowledge of the airport, and satellite photos, and bring much needed realism to the Rio Grande Valley.

INSTALLATION:

Place the two extracted BGL files (KMFE_ADE_BCCRWe3_CVX, KMFE_ADE_BCCRWe3) in your FSX/Addon Scenery/Scenery folder. After that, you can restart FSX and start flying. Enjoy! In addition to the mall, golf courses, and hotels, this update includes some taxiway fixes as well as more realistic taxi and apron textures based on satellite images. I have also added the new McAllen Convention Center, the Border Patrol station at the airport, the Dodge Arena to the south of the airport, McCreery Aviation FBO, McAllen Country Club, and a few other extras.

**PLEASE READ**
If you take a look at the screenshots I have included, you will notice I am using scenery from FS2004 that I would also highly recommend by Toni Hiltunen. You can follow the links or search either FS2004 Scenery/mcallen, or file mcallnfx.zip & mcallntx.zip. This version of McAllen airport scenery does NOT have the exclusions of autogen buildings that is needed for Toni Hiltunen's local buildings to show properly. If you would like to add Toni's McAllen Scenery, you must also download my McAllen Airport scenery Version 2.2 (XKMFE2_2.ZIP)
