Christmas presents: Watts Bridge airfield

Have you been naughty or nice this year?

If you've been good then you can download this little Christmas present I made for you especially!

http://antsairplanes.com/downloads/aa11YWSG.zip

The download is about 52MB in size.

Inside you will find about 20sq km of photoreal ground textures around Watts Bridge Memorial airfield. Watts Bridge is about 70km NW of Brisbane, QLD Australia and as with most of my scenery I recommend that you have FTX Australia installed.

The airfield itself has about 30 hangars which I've made based on photos sent to me by Patrick who hangars his airplane at Watts Bridge. There are 3 grass runways, 12/30 is a parallel runway although the northern runway is usually only used by gliders and gyros. Be sure to exit the runways between the yellow cones as there is a drainage ditch running alongside the runways.

Watts Bridge is a busy little airfield/airpark with a couple of clubhouses as well as fuel available. You will notice that some of the hangars have accomodation attached.

As a super duper christmas special there are two additional private airstrips included in the photoreal area and they both lie about 2km west of the airfield itself. Watch out for some pretty tricky powerline placements on the small strips.

Finally, here are some pics:
