Scenery Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington (WA). This is an enhanced version of Fairchild AFB (KSKA) for FSX with Acceleration running in "Preview DirectX 10" mode. By Dan Mesmer.

Fairchild Air Force Base Scenery.

Fairchild Air Force Base Scenery.

Tested and developed for FSX with Acceleration running in "Preview DirectX 10" mode, this version of Fairchild AFB includes taxiway lines that are DX10 compliant and will not flicker. Generic textures have been used to create custom buildings that are flicker free, as well.

There are some unmodified Microsoft scenery library objects used (including the larger hangars and the fire station) that can produce flickering. To halt flickering of these objects, do the following:

1. Go to "Settings" in FSX.

2. Click on the "Customize" button.

3. Click on the "Scenery" tab and uncheck the "Ground scenery shadows" box.

4. Click the "OK" button.

Enjoy!

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D scenery
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
  2. Place scenery in Addon Scenery

    Create a folder under FSX\Addon Scenery\ containing scenery and texture sub-folders.
  3. Activate in Scenery Library

    In FSX, go to Settings → Scenery Library → Add Area. Higher priority means it overrides lower entries for the same location.
  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
