Float Plane Bases for FSX

Good afternoon all... :)

Hope I am in the right forum and not sure if these questions have been asked before.

I purchased Canada/Alaska Scenery for FS2004 when it came out and it will not work for FSX.

I was wondering if there is some new scenery for Bush Flying which includes other float aircraft, boats, camps, bases etc for FSX.

I do not think Canada in general, Ontario specifically are depicted well in any version of Microsoft Simulator.

I don't have any specific recommendations, as I don't use FSX, but you may want to browse through this website:

Thanks for the link SeanTK...will have a look... ;)

Just did a flight in FS X from two seaplane bases in Michigan...no docks and no other floatplanes...some boats...that is about it.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Nothing to do with scenery, but this gives a list of fsx water runways.
Hope this link works, if not just google it

Doug,

Here are some packages to look at. They will provide plenty of bush and seaplane bases with scenery.. These are all available in SimV's FSX Scenery downloads.

FSX Victoria-by Holger Sandmann and crew-2 part download-http://www.simviation.com/simviation/static.php?ID=63&page=11

Sceneries by Chris "Mocat" Carel:

Snow Dogs Tours-V2.0 and Part V-http://www.simviation.com/simviation/?ID=63&page=2&mark=443- (Should you run across parts I, II and III, you don't need them as they're included in V2.)

Also his Caribbean Seaplane Tours, 8 packages plus a Acceleration/SP2 fix. (not sure all 8 packages are on SimV)....

...and Land's End Seaplanes-will eventually connect Caribbean Seaplane and Snow Dog Tours up the east coast and across the northern states-2 packages so far.

These are all large downloads. Mocat's sceneries may slow weaker systems some due to large textures with no mips.....but they're all fun sceneries.

Dave
