SOH-CM-2013
I have just uploaded Greenville, Alabama, Retro Airport. I don't expect there are many here who care a lot about an airport in Alabama but, I thought this would be a way to share the custom built scenery objects. Please feel free to download it and use the objects in your own scenery projects. Permission is granted via the readme. There are several screen shots in my thread: Luscombe N71633.

RD, it's always enjoyable to fly into a new custom airport, no matter where it might be. Thanks for the upload and look forward to landing at Greenville.:salute:
 
Not even a Wikipedia entry on this one. :icon_lol:


Should I ever get the urge to fly retro GA in AL, I now have a starting place.
 
Looks like I'll be flying to sweet home Alabama this evening.

Will be posting some pictures later.
 
PLEASE READ

BE SURE TO DELETE THE TRAFFIC BGL THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE GREENVILLE SCENERY FILE. It was compiled using TTools for FS9 and may cause a conflict with your other FSX traffic files.

I hope no one has experienced any difficulties, yet. I'm sorry but, I meant to remove it before I uploaded the file.

Thank you.

Very nicely done RD, I especially like the "FBO" with the transparent windows (need to learn how to do that) and the interior being textured also. Nice touch. I took off from McGowan Field (sp?) so it was a short hop over to Greenville. No problem with the traffic.bgl and it's been removed. Thanks!!:salute:
 
Where is the link? I'm always looking for Alabama scenery having lived in Eight Mile, AL for 20 years. Is there any good Alabama/Mississippi Gulf Coast scenery around for FSX?
 
Paul, I downloaded from the SOH downloads. Just clicked on "Add-Ons Library" and it was right there.

I'm glad you like it. The field you took off from is in Chapman, Alabama. Floyd McGowan died just a few years ago. He owned a really nice SNJ, Super Stearman, Great Lakes, and a Twin Beech. He was president of Rocky Creek Logging Company which was a subsidary of Union Camp Corporation which was the company I worked for when I lived in Greenville. He also was an inductee of the Alabama Aviation Association.

I've p.m.ed Rami and asked if he can remove the traffic bgl from the uploaded zip.

Thanks also to Roger, Dimus, and Michael for your encouragement.

Paul, I lived in Alabama for around 15 years but, I've never heard of Eight Mile, Alabama. Do you know where Slap Out, Alabama, is?

Downloading now. Move the Luscombe over a tad, looks like a great place for my Cessna 120!

Best, Paul

That will be great Paul as there was a Cessna 120 that stayed there for awhile. It was a really nice one too. Polished aluminum fuselague with Red strips and Silver dope on the wings.

Falcon409, the windows on the "FBO" were done using the components function of SketchUp. Same with the door, fire extinguisher, trash can, and sign.

RD,
You can use AIFP2 (AI Flight Planner 2) to convert those fs9 traffic files to fsx standard. I've used it to convert all the MAIW traffic files I use in fsx.

Thank you Joe. I have that program but, just haven't learned how to do the conversion yet. Since I only use my own AI traffic files in my FSX install, I haven't really tried too hard. My good friend, Dimus, converted the traffic file for me in the Millington Airport that I uploaded for FSX68.

Thanks for the scenery rdaniell. Eight Mile is wedged between Semmes and Pritchard and no I have never heard of Slap Out although I have been to Greenville several times. Do you know why Florida doesn't float out to sea?

Thanks Roger and Ed for pointing out the download.

You are welcome Paul. Slap Out is a little community over close to Lake Martin. Tradition has it that it got its name many years ago when there was nothing there but a little country store. When ask if he had a certain item and he didn't have it, the owner would always say that he was slap out of it.

Anyway that's what I was told when I lived in Montgomery.

No I don't know why Florida doesn't float out to sea...
