Scenery Expansion of Air Force Base

Postby TigerFlyer130 » Tue Sep 21, 2004 11:05 am

I am currently a student pilot at USAF UPT at Laughlin AFB.  I have been a long time FS user, but never tried designing scenery.  
For those unfamiliar with military patterns, they are very different in some ways than the Civilian types we are all familiar with.  As such, I need some really specifc ground references.  The built in scenery is really not that bad for some of our ground reference stuff, but I want to add a couple of water towers, maybe a road or two, and a pond.  Any suggestions on a good program for the first time usere, or does anyone have the Laughlin AFB area scenery already, I can't find it on Simviation.   Additionally, I was wondering if anyone has a really good T-6A Texan II for install.  Payware or freeware.

Hey Tiger,

Good news and bad news.  Good news first, there is a T-6d available that was done by Robert Hawk & Will Guillermo as at6d.zip.  Search AVSIM.com or FlightSim.com for that one.  It is an FS2004 version.  There are others available for older Flight Sim versions.  

Bad news....  I am somewhat familiar with the military patterns especially what you are going through.  You are not going to find scenery that specific unless it is custom made.  To custom make it would take quite a bit of experience.  There is nothing out there that would drop  scenery items in that easily, for a novice at scenery.  

The better news, it can be done.  I am not sure how far along you are in flight training or how many weeks that you have left.  I would be willing to assist in the actual placing of items but would need to know what you need as reference landmarks and exactly where the landmark is.  I can get aerial photos of almost anyplace in the US but you would have to look at them and define your turn points etc., from them and I would build from that.  In all, you are looking at a couple weeks, considering back and forth mail etc.  

Advise tower of your decission and remember.... Wheels DOWN.... :D
