Hey, will someone post some screenshots of Eppley? Just some air, gate, and scenery views? Thanks.

This might help. I've looked to Eppley mods for FS2004, but alas, there were none. ::)

Sorry, should have been more specific, I was asking for FSX screenshots of the airport, I just want to see how it looks in the simulator, I live in Omaha, so I know what it looks like in real life

thanks again

I live in Omaha too. I rememeber the Missouri River as a brown muddy mess in FS2002. FS2004 was an improvement, but Eppley seemed very generic an unlike the real airport. Oh yea, in FS2004, if you fly over the state capitol, you'll notice the conspicuous absense of The Sower.

I never noticed that lol, the biggest problem I have with Eppley in FS9 is the fact that the default configuration for Eppley never uses the right runway, it always uses runway 36 and 18, but they use runway 32L a lot more in real life. That and the fact that the cargo ramps are not used at all, as there are no cargo liveries for the default aircraft except for the 747, which Eppley cant handle. I just want to see if Eppley is one of the 45 "highly detailed" Airports included in FSX, or if it will again be considered unimportant. So just a couple of screens from FSX around Eppley and the amount of traffic, which runway(s) used, and just the basic overview of the airfield scenery and detail. Appreciate it.

Alright, minor stuff
Overall

First clearance was for this runway, the next two were for 32R, requested to land from different sides.

Set AI traffic to 100% and all I could find was this guy and a couple around the corner, a crj and a md-80(i think)

And the general aviation side

No problem. The jetways do move like all the others; ground crews, no physical people walking around (would rock) but there are fuel trucks and other random trucks driving all around, as well as the vehicle to bring down the luggage and the other to take it away...whatever theyre called. As well as the pushback
