KBWI for FSX

Featured Replies

Fsx has been in long need of Baltimore scenery. I fly at Southwest virtual (swavirtual.com) and Baltimore is a very major hub, and it is extremly frustrating that a decent version, freeware or payware, has not been made for FSX. The Airport Guys started BWI and postponed it, and have not showed progress in sevral months. The only decent BWI was made for FS2004 by Matthew Perry. I tried it in FSX and it did not work. The default building show over the addon scenery buildings and in some parts of the airport the ground textures cover the taxiway, and the Afcad needs to be updated. It would be highly appreciated for anyone to convert this scenery to FSX.

I also fly for swavirtual and I've been waiting forever to see a great BWI scenery, hopefully someone will do something (preferably free!).

I seem to remember seeing  a payware BWI in the works but cannot remember who was developing it. The project may have even closed. But I agree Baltimore is definitely missing from my regional flying.

The Airport Guys were developing it and have postponed it. But it looks like its going to be canceled because no progress has been shown for about a year.

In the  meantime, I recommend the AFCAD by Ray Smith.  At least it has the most current layout.

Though not payware quality, I have flown out of KBWI many times in the past six years as I now live near there.  I thought the version I have, (2007) created by Ray Smith, was very good for freeware.  I believe it is in the library here.  It sure seems to me to be a vast improvement over the FSX default.  I think there is also a freeware KBWI by Rob Touchstone.  In all honesty I am not sure whose version it is that I am using.

 

Update: Just looked.  What I have installed is the 2010 rendition by R Touchstone.  I'd LOVE a SunSkyJet KBWI to go along with their KPHL, but until then I like the Touchstone version.

 

Update #2.  I found in my Downloads folders another Ray Smith version with use files (after installation) dated in February of this year.  I have not installed it yet, so cannot yet compare it to the 2007 Ray Smith creation, or to the Rob Touchstone creation I mentioned.

Ray Smith AFCADs are fantastic and I have most of them installed right now! However, what AFCAD files don't give is custom taxiway textures and lighting and custom buildings.

Yea, I had high hopes for the Airport Guys, but I don't fault them. Both are full time college students in aviation related fields.
