Miracle on the Hudson |
![]() |
File Description:
This will make the FSX default Airbus A321 "floatable", so that one can retrace the flight path of flight 1549 and have your own "Miracle on the Hudson."

'Classic' Water Reflection |
![]() |
File Description:
For those of you that miss the FS2002 water reflections, these are optimized sun and moon reflection textures for FS2004. The new files are a quarter the size of the original files, with no visual degradation (that I could see) and improved performance.
These should work with older video cards (non-DX9) as well and look great with either "High" or "Low" Water Effects enabled. They look particularly good when combined with the OceanFX 2 package (with OCEANSFX.ZIP and OCEANSTX.ZIP).

VTBS - Suvarnabhumi Intl - Bangkok, Thailand **Custom Airport Background** |
![]() |
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Provided is an airport background for Ray Smith's VTBS - Suvarnabhumi Intl - Bangkok, Thailand airport. This custom background can be easily added without disturbing the original airport, and it will also resolve water canal scenery conflicts for FTX Vector users. This background should work for all users, but it is optimized to take advantage of FTX Vector, and the airport road/highway system is now connected with all of the FTX Vector roads. Scenery was created using SBuilderX 3.13 and the FSX Object Placement Tool.
This scenery requires Ray Smith's VTBS - Suvarnabhumi Intl "fsx_vtbs_v1.5_rs.zip".

MGTK / MGMM - Mundo Maya International Airport - Santa Elena, Guatemala |
![]() |

File Description:
This file adds the airport background that was missing from the default airport and corrects the placement of the taxiways, runway, and buildings for Mundo Maya International Airport (MGMM), formerly Anacleto Maza Castellanos International Airport (MGTK). As of January 2012, the ICAO airport identifier for Mundo Maya International Airport has been changed from MGTK to MGMM. Both versions are included in this package to more easily accomodate AI traffic programs that still use the MGTK identifier. Scenery was created using Airport Design Editor X v1.50.4402 and SBuilderX 3.13.

SCIP - Isla de Pascua & Mataveri Intl - Easter Island |
![]() |
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This project rebuilds Easter Island / Isla de Pascua. Mataveri Intl (SCIP) is completely overhauled, and all airport objects are aligned from satellite imagery. Landclass polygons and coastlines were meticulously hand-drawn directly from satellite imagery to provide the most detailed and accurate scenery available for this region. AI road and boat traffic is activated for the region. Accurate coastlines and road data, as well as corrected land and waterclass are provided based on the latest available satellite imagery. GA flights use default aircraft and include an option to add Chilean Air Force planes around the island. Numerous Moai (Easter Island heads) have been placed around the island according to satellite imagery. Scenery was created using Airport Design Editor X v1.61.5298, SBuilderX 3.13, and the FSX Object Placement Tool. Scenery objects were added and modified from stock FSX scenery to resemble as closely as possible the actual airports. The FSX apron lights included are from the terrific set created by Jim Dhaenens.

Branson Airport KBBG--New Airport, Scenery, and Flight Plans |
![]() |
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This project adds a new Branson Airport KBBG (Missouri) to FS 2004, which opened in May 2009, and is a privately developed commercial airport. The construction of the airport, which involved the flattening of several Ozark Mountains, is claimed to be the largest earthmoving project in Missouri history. As a result, the airport actually sits on a manmade plateau, surrounded by rolling hills. The airport uses the ICAO identifier BBG, however, the airlines use the IATA code BKG. The airport is served by AirTran, Frontier, and ExpressJet (Branson AirExpress), and is located in hilly terrain. Aircraft equipped with a terrain avoidance warning system may experience system activation on final approach. AFCAD created using Airport Design Editor 9 v1.47.07, and the hilltops were cleared and flattened and roads were added using SBuilder 2.05 revision 06. The terminal and hangar were added and modified from within Airport Design Editor 9. This airport is based on my more detailed FSX version, Branson_Airport_Project.zip.

HALA - Hawassa Intl. - Hawassa, Ethiopia |

File Description:
This project adds the booming city of Hawassa, Ethiopia, creates the new international airport (HALA), moves (and rebuilds) the downtown airport (recoded to HALX), and includes AI flight plans for the Ethiopian Airlines service that began April 2016. Tested in both the default FSX: Acceleration and with FTX Global/Vector, accurate coastlines, lakes, road data, and SRTMGL1 (30m) mesh, as well as corrected landclass are provided based on the latest available satellite imagery. The Hawassa International Airport was created using information from the current satellite footprint and the promotional video from Ethiopian Airports Enterprise (EAE). Although there is still very little published data on the airport, it is fully functional.
Updates were created or rebuilt in a manner which carefully aligns airport data with current satellite imagery. Scenery was created using Airport Design Editor X v1.70.6042, SBuilderX 3.13, and the FSX Object Placement Tool. Scenery objects were added and modified from stock FSX scenery to resemble as closely as possible the actual airports. The FSX apron lights included are from the set created by Jim Dhaenens. Thanks to Ron Blehm for bringing this part of the world to my attention.

Colorado Lakes Project II |
![]() |
File Description:
This project features the Blue Mesa Reservoir and the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and adds over 300 highly detailed lakes to the central portion of western Colorado. Three reservoirs, named for corresponding dams on the Gunnison River, form the heart of Curecanti National Recreation Area. Panoramic mesas, fjord-like reservoirs, and deep, steep and narrow canyons abound. Blue Mesa Reservoir is Colorado's largest body of water, and is the largest Kokanee Salmon fishery in the United States. Morrow Point Reservoir is the beginning of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and below it is Crystal Reservoir.
These lakes are specifically designed to show off their photo realistic detail when used in combination with "FSGenesis-The Rockies 38.2m Terrain Mesh-Colorado" available as "fsg_dem38m_usrk_co.zip" at avsim.com, or comparable mesh. The free FSGenesis US National Landclass Project Beta 6 also adds beautifully to the landscape. These lakes work equally as well with the default mesh.
All lake information was projected from satellite imagery and compiled with a beta version of Jim Keir's "Slartibartfast" utility. Much thanks to Holger Sandmann and Jim Keir for their help and advice on interpreting the satellite data properly.

Colorado Lakes Project IV |
![]() |
File Description:
This project features the lakes of North Central Colorado, replaces all of the prominent reservoirs and lakes of the region (Dillon, Green Mountain, Granby, Williams Fork, and more), and adds over 500 highly detailed lakes to Colorado. They fit seamlessly with my "Colorado Lakes Project III" (colorado_lakes_project_3.zip), "Colorado Lakes Project II" (colorado_lakes_project_2.zip) and "Colorado Lakes Project I" (colorado_lakes_project_1.zip) lakes.
These lakes are specifically designed to show off their photo realistic detail when used in combination with "FSGenesis-The Rockies 38.2m Terrain Mesh-Colorado" available as "fsg_dem38m_usrk_co.zip" at avsim.com, or comparable mesh. The free FSGenesis US National Landclass Project Beta 6 also adds beautifully to the landscape. These lakes work equally as well with the default mesh.
