FSX LETF - Aerodromo Tomas Scenery

Scenery For LETF - Aerodromo Tomas Fernan. A new revision with several minor improvements. This pack can be used alone, and doesn't need any element of the previous ones. After ten years of activity, the airfield of Villamartin has recently received its ICAO code "LETF". Scenery made "ex nihilo" with ADE 1.40.09, SBuilderX and SDK OPT. Works with default FSX scenery, although it has been designed in UTX Europe, with better accuracy. By Felix Fernandez de Castro.

Basic scenery of the LETF "Aeródromo Tomás Fernández Espada", Villamartín (Cádiz, Spain) for FSX [SP2 + Acc], ver. 3

---LETFv1 (sep 2008)

Although this airfield has activity from at least ten years ago, only now it has received its ICAO code "LETF". Very close to the airfield is the nice hotel "La Antigua Estación", provided with a luxurious swimming pool for relax after your flights (I hope to include it in a future version).

This scenery has only that we can call the "SDK Object Placement Tool" degree of realism: not the real thing, but --I hope so-- best than the desert.

I have tested this scenery with the default FSX mesh and scenery and it works well, but I have designed it, for best accuracy, with the wonderful free 38m Europe Mesh of Taburet & Ferranti and the payware add-on "UTX Europe". I have tested it with some GA AI Traffic, and I think that it is OK, too, but we must remember that the length of the runway is only 560 meters, so many planes, even the small ones, run across the grass after finishing the runway.

---LETFv2 (sep 2008)

In this revision it has been fixed a bug that avoided AI traffic taking off from Runway 24. This Pack can be used alone, and doesn’t need any element of the previous one. Some terrain improvements has been added too.

---LETFv3 (jul 2009)

By request of the airfield users, I have added some trees, very important for surviving in the summer.
