FSX Hoedspruit AFB Scenery

Hoedspruit Air Force Base scenery refreshes this busy South African Air Force hub with corrected airport elevation and runway placement, eliminating the canyon-like default RWY 27 issue and improving the overall field layout for smoother approaches and taxi operations. Designed for FSX, it enhances immersion for military and regional flying around Hoedspruit.

Hoedspruit AFB, South Africa. Update for a busy SAAF base; in the default scenery one of the runways sits in a canyon. By Ben Sawkin.

Hoedspruit AFB Scenery.

Hi Folks,This is my first attemp at creating scenery. Why I chose Hoedspruit is because it was a vey busy AFB for the SAAF. I also noticed that in FSX the one rwy27 was sitting in a canyon, and I wanted to correct it.

To Install: Unzip into a temp folder,copy and paste into addon scenery and active the usual way.

I used the following programs:

SBuilder
AFX
Instant Scenery
TCalc002.
