FSX Jacksonville Craig Municipal Scenery

This package updates and refines Jacksonville Craig Municipal Airport (KCRG) in Florida for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. It incorporates revised taxi paths, detailed aprons, and improved hangar modeling. Also included is a custom set of airport structures in a dedicated object library developed by Art Poole. These enhancements aim to transform the default KCRG environment into a more authentic rendition of this important regional airfield.

Refined Airfield Details and Local Geography

Jacksonville Craig Municipal Airport sits in Duval County and typically serves a broad range of general aviation activities. This scenery carefully restructures the original facility, adjusting the layout of runways and taxi lanes to reflect real-world conditions. Additionally, surrounding landclass is updated to present a more realistic depiction of northeast Florida’s terrain near the Atlantic coast. Because of these changes, flight simulator enthusiasts will notice a significant difference in both ground textures and building placements while operating within the local airspace.

Installation Notes and Configuration

For ease of setup, there are two suggested methods:

1. Dedicated Folder: Extract the package and place the “Jacksonville FL Craig” folder into “Addon Scenery,” then activate it within Scenery Library settings.
2. Direct File Copy: Move the contents of “Jacksonville FL Craig\Scenery” directly into “Addon Scenery\Scenery.”

Next, find the Airport_Buildings_AP.bgl file located in the “Scenery_Global_Scenery” folder and place it into the “Scenery\Global\Scenery” directory under Microsoft Flight Simulator X. If you already have this file installed, overwrite the older version when appropriate.

Optimized for Ultimate Terrain X-USA

This add-on is balanced for use alongside scenery solutions like Ultimate Terrain X-USA. When layering multiple scenery components, ensure the Scenery Complexity slider in the simulator settings is adjusted to “Very Dense” to display all custom objects. The configuration ensures hangars, terminals, small structures, and runway environment elements remain visible and well-integrated.

Further Adjustments and Reversion Procedure

Although Airport Design Editor v1.37 was integral to creating this enhanced package, users can also leverage the same tool if additional modifications are desired. If it ever becomes necessary to revert back to the default environment, either uncheck the entry in the Addon Scenery library or remove the installed files from the “Addon Scenery\Scenery” folder, depending on the method used.

The included Airport_Buildings_AP.bgl is a comprehensive resource for scenery designers, offering a variety of airport objects. This library can stay in place even if KCRG’s custom files are removed, ensuring other sceneries that reference it remain fully functional.

Developer Notes and Credits

Inside the “Thumbs” directory, thumbnail images showcase each object in the library for easy reference within external tools like Airport Design Editor. The entire package is freeware and contains no implied warranty. It has been tested with Microsoft Flight Simulator X Deluxe, Acceleration, UTX-USA, and World of AI traffic setups.
