This airport scenery does not require any other software other than Microsoft Flight Sim X SP1 (minimum) - SP2 required for mission and display of some of the scenery items. However, it could help with performance on your PC if you install any accurate photo scenery for DFW. One such scenery is MEGASCENERY DFW photo scenery from http://www.megascenery.com/. This is a custom developed scenery for airport, 52F - Northwest Regional, Roanoke, TX. 52F is next to Fort Worth Alliance in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. It's a nice little airport. This scenery package also includes a Mission called "52Foxtrot - Approach to Rwy 35 - Thermals". It is more of a free flight than the traditional FSX missions. The ones who fly for real at 52F-Northwest regional knows the quirks when coming into land at runway 35 on a hot day. The thermals at the cleared land and the sinking feeling when flying over the wooded area nearing the approach to 35. These thermal lifts and sinks have been modeled here. However, the only way to experience these thermals in FSX is via Missions. Once you select the mission "52Foxtrot - Approach to Rwy 35 - Thermals" and by selecting option "Enable changes in selected Mission", you could fly around like you would under "free flight". Except this time, you would have these thermal effects around 52F and get to experience what it's really like to fly and land at 52F. [/FONT]

Manny is back! This is work from last year, maybe updated? He also did some simpler scenery placement work for Mega Scenery O'ahu. I'd been wondering what happen to Manny, as I helped a tiny bit when he was getting started.

This looks like the previous version re-uploaded probably due to the avsim hack. This airport is only a few miles from my house and Manny did a great job with it! Just a small but busy Uncontrolled GA airport!

Yep same here, I helped beta and helped with modeling questions. He did a good job with it, although a little heavy on the frames. It's a neat airport, been there a few times in real life.
 
Manny did pup up on AVSIM forum in a Hawaii VFR thread, first I've seen of him in quite a while.
