FS2004 Scenery--Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport, Glens Falls (KGFL), New York, v2.0. Located in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains in upstate NY USA, this facility is owned by Warren County and run by RichAir. Although it has a 5000 foot main runway, KGFL is a non-controlled airfield catering to small angine aircraft up to a few private jets serving 'The Northcountry' New York. It has recently received several upgrades including four new GA hangars large enough to accommodate the needs of buisness jets. All objects fully designed and completely redone in Gmax using high resolution custom photoreal 32 bit textures. Optional DTX textures included. Also includes new AFCAD file, more accurate airport grounds perimeter, satellite photoreal grounds, custom taxiways, taxisigns and taxilights, area roads, animated hangar doors, and near area landclass. No AI traffic tracks included with this release, but AFCAD designed to support several AI. Rwy12 objects required for a few static aircraft and parking lot light poles. By EdGeneer Cox.

....That new GFL is great!! Only problem i encountered was lack of mips on the textures. The whole airport was 'crawling' and shimmering terribly, so i mipped the textures myself. It looks great!!!
 
Wow, Im flattered, I just put that out today :)

And for the mipmaps, I just figured out 2 hours ago that I forgot to do them, I am an idiot... If you do make them yourselves, make sure you ignore mipmapping the fences, ant_twr and fencebar textures, as transparancy oddities in fs are magnified when mipmapped, BUT try it yourself and see how it looks. I went to the dtx3 fences and ant_twr after I mipmapped everything else and it looked better unmipmapped... (the fences, that is)

I came back in here to add the P3-C Orion package that was out a bit ago. I thought it was some Japanese gents that put that pack out, with a sizeable update as well... the only one I can find now is the one by Team FS KBT maybe its the same pack, but i cant find the a/c now and i swear i had it installed...

also the F4U-7 corsair by Alpha Bleu Ceil is nice.... filename corsf4u7.zip on flightsim.com
 
Ed great job on that scenery. As I said I stopped by the airport while on vacation at Lake George and you did a great job. Any plans on any other airports in that area?
 
Thanks,

Possibly a few, B04 (Garnseys), Argyle, and K30(Heber), and maybe the sagamore for the floatplane docks... but thats a whole elaborate hotel to make for that, so, i dunno...

i still have to do the winter textures for kgfl before the snow falls :)

Did anyone mention Dino's F14 Packages or the Coopley P38's for good gems... ??? Must haves IMHO!!!
 
Muskoka, CYQA Ontario, just got it at Flightsim today, very well rendered airport ....

Duh, how can I not mention my number one favorite flier...the FSDB Lockheed L-10 Electra. Nice plane, nice VC...the only drawback is the lack of paints for the plane.

Also, Manfred Jahns has some really nice stuff out. Jens B. Kristensen has a library of gem quality freeware planes that are a must have.

It was briefly mentioned in post 60, but here's the link to the file on Flightsim.com:
http://www.flightsim.com/file.php?cm=SEARCH1&fsec=0&fname=P-3C_.ZIP

There's a link to a patch file in the description of the base file. If you do some searching, you'll also find an Airborne Early Warning version, a fire bomber, and the NOAA hurricane hunter.
 
Excellent! Thanks :) Downloading them now... I thought I had these in my 'aircraft storeroom' if not installed... Refreshing the sim is good for performance, but loses some of the old a/c we still want to use...

Thanks again...
 
Erm...the Mirages.
Lots of 'em.
I'll start with the Mirage IV and keep going until someone stops me ;)
A true gem, and one you can spend lots of time getting to know.

There are three volumes for this aircraft available on flightsim.com totaling about 160MB!

FS2004 Mirage IV P, Squadron 1/91 of Mont de Marsan, job number 53. A Gmax model created by Laborie Roland. Flight model polished by Mathieu Dussart.

It's quite large, as can be seen when in company of a MirageIII
 
How about the DDAV collection. When I want to get in a quick flight fix, I load a DDAV selection. Quick landing with my bird of choice. Plenty to choose from. Landing is usually harder than taking off or flying around. Feel the adrenaline!

I didn't get any warning and all seems fine here. Jusr in case I ran my anti viruses and found nothing.
