FSX Yakima Washington Scenery Enhancements

Yakima, Washington gets a detailed facelift with enhanced KYKM plus custom-placed buildings and landmarks across Yakima, Selah, Naches, Union Gap, and the Yakima Firing Center for Flight Simulator X: Acceleration. The large coverage area is designed to sit cleanly over photo-real ground textures and requires Acceleration for full compatibility.

Yakima Washington Scenery Enhancements. These are scenery enhancements to Yakima, Washington (WA) and its surrounding areas for Flight Simulator X with Acceleration. This package includes KYKM, the City Of Yakima, Selah, Naches and Union Gap. By Gene Davis.

This scenery package was created with Instant Scenery 2 using the default SDK from FSX with Acceleration and requires that you have Acceleration. I also recommend that you have Mega Scenery Earth or some kind of photo real scenery package installed for this to look correct as I laid the objects and buildings over the top of Mega Scenery Earth Washington.

The coverage area is quite large as it includes enhancements to KYKM, the city of Yakima, the town of Selah, Union Gap and on out to Naches, WA as well. I have also included scenery enhancements to the Yakima Firing Center.

Instructions for installation:
Simply copy all of the *.bgl files into your FSX\Addon Scenery\Scenery folder and launch Flight Simulator.

As for best visual results, at least for me, when I am running Photo Real Scenery I set my scenery complexity to dense and my autogen at normal, this cuts back on some of the misplaced autogen when using photo real scenery.

I consider this a work in progress and will continue to work on it as I have time.

Enjoy!

How to install this mod

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.
Place scenery in Addon Scenery

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

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