FSX KERI 2012 Runway Extension Scenery

KERI 2012 Runway Extension. Scenery of Erie, Pennsylvania (PA), Erie International Airport / Tom Ridge Field (KERI). This simulation is a little out of character for the Richard O. Finley Ghost Airports Collection that depicts airports that no longer exist. This simulation is not a ghost airport. It improves on the stock simulation of KERI in that it is more accurate and depicts the ongoing runway extension construction at Erie International Airport. By Richard O. Finley.

Erie International (Tom Ridge Field) Scenery.

Erie International Airport began as Griswold Field in the early 1920s. It has grown steadily since then.

Erie has been well positioned for innovation. It is large enough to give new equipment a fair test but small enough not to cause a major problem if it does not work. Erie got one the first ILS installations in the 1940s. In the early 1970s it was one of the first ASR-7 radar installation sites. In the 1980s It was the first site in the nation to get The ARTS-IIA automation system.

Erie in now in the process of adding approximately 2000' (Google Earth measures construction site to 8448') to runway 6-24.

The stock incarnation of KERI leaves much to be desired in FSX. A lot of detail has been added or corrected using a Google Earth overlay. There are no photo-real buildings used here. This simulation uses all stock buildings and features available in ADE9X so a little imagination is required.

Installation:
This scenery is for FSX only. Put the two .bgl files from the downloaded Zip file into the folder~~microsoft flight simulator X\addon scenery\scenery.

Hope you enjoy it.
