FSX Lake Weir Seaplane Base Scenery

Lake Weir Seaplane Base (24FA) scenery brings Oklawaha, Florida to life in FSX with added seaplane docks, a small marina, fueling dock, buildings, vehicles, and static floatplanes that make water operations feel purposeful. An included ADF/NDB improves navigation in Florida’s lake country while keeping the base’s private seaplane character.

Lake Weir Seaplane Base. The Lake Weir facility (24FA), in Oklawaha, Florida (FL), is a private seaplane base facility. Located two miles west of the nearest business district, Lake Weir covers 6000 acres. The scenery was made with Airport Facilitator X and Instant Scenery. It adds seaplane docks, static seaplanes, medium marina, fueling dock, buildings and vehicles to make landing here more interesting. The real seaplane base does not have docking for seaplanes/float planes. By Bruce Bouley.

My home airport is Ocala Intl (KOCF) and enjoy flying Seaplanes/Float Planes in FSX. The problem I find is that FSX is lacking some good scenery objects for many of the seaplane bases. I decided to try my hand at adding some scenery objects to the default FSX seaplane bases beginning in my home state of Florida. I have also added ADF to this seaplane base to make it easier to find, since their are so many lakes and water areas in Florida, you can easily miss the actual base when trying to land.

The LAKE WEIR Facility, in Oklawaha, Florida, is a Private SEAPLANE BASE facility. Located 2 miles W of the nearest business district, LAKE WEIR covers 6,000 acres.

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.
