Wheeler-Sack Army Air Field (KGTB), Fort Drum, New York (NY). An improved version with adjust aprons, roads and taxiways. Also included added parking, replaced buildings, static vehicles and more. By Jim Cook.

Wheeler-Sack Army Air Field Scenery.

Here is an improved version of the stock Wheeler-Sack AAF. I adjusted and added aprons, roads and taxiways to more closely match real life. I added Military_combat and Military_cargo parking spaces. I replaced most buildings and added additional buildings. I replaced and moved the control tower, added the fire station, parking lots, static vehicles and helicopters, lightpoles, and other objects.

Fort Drum is home to the 10th Mountain Division and it houses an air-to-ground gunnery range which is used by the 174th Fighter Wing of the NY National Guard out of Syracuse, NY.

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 two files KGTB_AFX_JC.bgl and KGTB_JC.bgl into your Addon Scenery/Scenery folder, re-start FSX and enjoy.
