Scenery - Kadena AB and Okinawa Islands Airstrips, Southern Japan.

This package contains FSX scenery for Kadena AB (RODN), as well scenery for five small airstrips located within the Okinawa Islands Group, Southern Japan.
The airstrips included are: Yoron Island (RORY), Iejima (RORE), Aguni (RORA), Kumejima (ROKJ) and Kerama (ROKR).

The Okinawa Islands (Okinawa Shoto) are a group of about two dozen islands around Okinawa Main Island (Okinawa Honto). Okinawa Main Island, the former centre of the Ryukyu Kingdom, is home to more than half of the prefecture's population, as well as the prefectural capital Naha and the US military bases.
Kadena Air Base is the hub of U.S. airpower in the Pacific, and home to the USAF's 18th Wing and a variety of associate units.

This scenery enhances the stock airports, using FSX default scenery objects, as well as a few objects from FSX Acceleration.
A flightplan has been included which begins at Yoron Island and ends at Kadena AB.It is provided in both FSX and Plan-G formats.
By Ian W.

The default FSX scenery for Kadena Airport, (RODN) comprises a few buildings scattered around the airport and bears little resemblance to the real airport.
Using FSX scenery objects, (and based on satellite imagery), this add-on attempts to present a more real-life version of the airport and its facilities.
A similar approach has been taken with smaller island airstrips.
If you do not have FSX Acceleration installed, some of the minor scenery objects may not be visible, - such as car-filled parking lots and median strips with shrubs.

Installation:
Install in the normal manner for add-on scenery.
That is,
. copy or move the folder Kadena_&_Okinawa_Islands to your Add-on Scenery folder of Microsoft Flight Simulator X
. start FSX and go the Scenery Library
. add a new area, selecting the Kadena_&_Okinawa_Islands folder
. make it Priority 1

Also included is a flightplan which takes in Kadena and all of the airstrips. FSX and Plan-G formats are included.

This scenery is released as Freeware, and was created using Airport Design Editor.
Initially used for a flight conducted by the Coffs Flight Simmers.
Thanks to Matt Schultz for his suggestion to enhance Kadena.

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.
