FSX Kasaba Bay Airport Scenery

Kasaba Bay Airport (FLKY) scenery brings Zambia’s Lake Tanganyika gateway to Nsumbu National Park into sharper focus, with a more convincing airfield layout and surroundings for immersive bush flying. Built in Airport Design Editor and using stock object libraries, it integrates cleanly with Microsoft Flight Simulator X for realistic stopovers on pristine lakeshore approaches.

Kasaba Bay Airport is the gateway to Nsumbu National Park in Northern Zambia [ on the shores of Lake Tanganyika ].

Lake Tanganyika is an African Great Lake. It is estimated to be the second largest freshwater lake in the world by volume, and the second deepest, after Lake Baikal in Siberia; it is also the world's longest freshwater lake. The lake is divided among four countries – Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Tanzania and Zambia, with the DRC (45%) and Tanzania (41%) possessing the majority of the lake. The water flows into the Congo River system and ultimately into the Atlantic Ocean.

Nsumbu National Park covers an area of just over 2000 square kilometers encompassing 100 kms of lake tanganyika's most pristine shores. Its beauty ranges from sandy beaches, vertical cliffs, rocky coves and natural bays to rugged hills and deep valleys.

Nsumbu is famous for it’s excellent angling off the shoreline and some of the better catches are the large Nile perch, goliath tigerfish, vundu catfish, lake salmon and the tasty yellow belly or ‘nkupi’. Occasionally the much sought after golden perch is caught. The Zambian National Fishing Competition takes place here every year around March or April and some world records have been set here.

The FSX one was not convincing enough! ;)

I have tried to make it close to realistic as possible using Airport Design Editor v1.50 [ available for free at Avsim ] and the objects that are available for use from FSX.

Hope this will make your stop-over more enjoyable!

Installation:

Drop the FLKY.bgl and FLKY_cvx.BGL files into your FSX/Addon scenery/scenery folder, and away you go !

For FSX !

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.
