Hi guys and gals,

Check out V4.0 of our scenery package. Arrows Across America: fly the US Air Mail routes 1926 for Microsoft Flight Simulator | MSFS

Fly all the way across the USA from the east coats to the west coast..
Contract Air Mail routes routes #1, #4, #5, #8, #12, #17, #18, #19, #26 and #32 from 1926, finding your way via 51' concrete arrows with flashing lights on 51' beacon towers. Fly the old way, bare bones navigation from the dawn of commercial aviation… Flying really low and slow in all weathers, day and night, no autopilot available.

So far we have recreated:
  • 10 CAM routes
  • 868 individually placed beacons
  • 88 custom ILFs
  • Arrows and the beacon towers with their rotating beacons
  • Generator sheds including the identifier text and the fuel tanks
  • 20 custom hangers, with animated hangar doors
  • Custom items to add life to the fields, like cars, trucks, furniture, posters, fuel pumps, radio installations, animated flags and wind socks, water towers and airfield watch towers, boundary lights and runway markers

I just arrived on a northbound run into Pasco (WA) and got called to do the run along the Columbia River to Portland.
Hoping the new year gets me a position flying CAM18, but I'll need a new airplane more fit for the winter on the prairies.
FS2024 can wait until the beta testing is done, but this add-on has made 2020 a worthwhile investment!

One of the most inspired scenery ideas for MSFS, and freeware too! I'm just about to move to MSFS 2024, and hope for a compatible version soon.

Tanks.
We are looking into porting it to 2024, but face a number of issues. The light effect we use in 2020 is dimmed in 2024. The hangar door animations are wonky. Doors don't open completely, and do not react to time of day as expected. And we need to check all current positions for trees and elevation issues.
But we'll see what we can do.
Meanwhile enjoy it in 2020 😉
 
I'm proud of the historic Ford Hanger at Lansing Municipal, parking 9.
It's still there irl, and I received a copy of the blueprints, and wanted to recreate it as acurate as possible.
Tell me what you think.

Never heard of it, but after some quick searches and looking at current photo's I'd say you nailed it. Excellent job!!
