FSX West Fork Lodge Scenery

West Fork Lodge brings a rustic dirt airstrip in western Montana to life in FSX, ideal for backcountry hops for coffee or a classic $100 burger. Photoreal terrain with seasonal variation, a lodge that picks up winter snow, and layered ground polygons blend the runway into the surrounding landscape with a distinctive, natural texture.

West Fork Lodge Scenery. A small, dirt airstrip in western Montana (MT). West Fork Lodge is a nice getaway for a $100 burger or cup of coffee. The scenery was more of an experiment with object conditions and ground polygon layering. It includes photoreal terrain with seasonal variations, a detailed "lodge" which gains some snow in the winter, and a runway comprised of three ground polygons blended together to create a unique texture.
