Simviation Forums

Being a fan of the state of Washington, I am looking for a good scenery package to cover that area. It seems a little forgotten - Google Earth doesn't cover the area that well and FSX seems to have some low quality textures/scenery for that area.

In particular I am looking for the Olympic National Park sort of area... Places East of Seattle.

I looked on SimV and I couldn't get anything relevant. Any good FSX packages out there? Payware or freeware.


Cheers

There isn't much for this area.


The Lands End Scenery series has a few seaports for Washington, Idaho, and Oregon, along with a lot of other regions. Search through the latest scenery pages here at SimV, and you will find the series.



There is a also a nice Bremerton Airport (KPWT) scenery addon located here:

There is also an addon for the Vancouver International airport in Britic Columbia, Canada. It's not IN seattle, but it's not too far for a nice flight.

Holger Sandmann made a great scenery addon for Victoria, BC. A nice little hop from Seattle.

Also, I hate to send people to other sites, but if you look use the 'Scenery Lookup Maps' page at flightsim.com, you will find a bunch of additional scenery packs for the Pacific Northwest

Hmm. I tried flightsim as well, but it didn't seem to give quite the locations I was looking for.

To be exact I am looking for S18 (Forks) and William R. Fairchild International Airport (KCLM) - Or things in Port Angeles area.

Just general coverage of those locations, the airports and maybe some of the mountain area.

I'm not aware of any scenery addons for that specific area...

Darn.

Might have to just do it myself then. Christmas holiday and all that. Well, the town I can sort out... But texturing an entire mountain might be a bit tricky unless I ermm... Borrow a mountain and stick it there haha. Something tells me I would get criticised for that  ::)

Having actually lived in Port Angeles a few years ago, I can point you to an FS2004 scenery of Fairchild, but I'm afraid there is nothing else out there besides that, especially not for FSX.

The FS2004 one:

It has some artistic liberties taken by this person to support their virtual organization, but it's better than nothing.

I wish someone would come out with more custom scenery for this area, especially the CGAS on the hook. I have many memories of that location.

And so would that FS9 scenery work alright on FSX? Is it just the usual installation?

I dont own or use FSX, but there's no harm in trying. It's been I while since I've had to dig into it to install it, but it is probably just the normal FS2004 scenery setup, with the scenery and texture subfolders, inside a main folder.

Well I shall try it soonish when I get the chance. I am just looking for things in this area as this is where I mostly fly on FSX (hoping to go to that area in a few summers time with some friends possibly)

FTX is coming out with some great scenery for most of the western side of America, from Northern California up to Vancouver Island I think. It should do a great job of Washington State (lets hope )

It should be coming out in the next few days (note it is payware ).

Heres the link to the FTX product page (Its down the bottom):

Thanks!

The NA Blue one?

Shall see how much it comes to, but thanks. Presumably between $20 and $30 looking at other links.


Would I be able to just install a certain area? I don't want to limit my payware areas too much in case I need to screenshot them for a freeware event... But I would like to be able to get some really nice scenery for the northern part of that area.

I have not tried any of the MegaScenery Earth stuff, I do have MegaSceneryX South Cal and others and like South Cal the best.  I think that MegaScenery Earth could get real expensive, but you can check it out and decide for yourself.
