Like this Dash 7 shot, but the Falcon pic I entered showed open door, port side. So.... this one had to go  :(

OK, but unfortunately the ramp lighting in the background just isn't quite realistic enough  ???

OK ... but the Dash 7 shot I used was just so much better really I think 8)

Hi Soui

The scenery is Humberside (UK) for 2002 by Steve Chase. I found out how to do the lighting (ramp lights by Graham Oxtoby which many designers have used) and used a similar effect in my Kai Tak scenery.

The scenery's not totally compatible with FS9 like many 2002 sceneries. I had to make an AFCAD, change the elevation using JABBgl so AI were at ground level and like many 2002 sceneries, you get 'phantom' building crashes, so you have to turn off crash detection.

But even so, as you can see it's all worth it.

Incidentally, the Dash 7 is at Aberdeen (Dyce) which is also a 2002 scenery by Paul Baines. It needed the same sort of work but you don't get as many 'phantom' crashes so long as you stay in the main areas. Again, it's an excellent scenery and well worth having if you like flying in the UK.
