freeware Corona Municipal Airport (KAJO)
vbazillio posted a topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
This is my latest freeware with another small General aviation airport in Southern California: Corona Municipal is in Riverside county (CA) approx. 40 miles east of Los Angeles. It's an uncontrolled airport and is home to 300-350 general aviation aircraft. It's strictly a recreational airport with no commercial flights. Corona airport is well known because of its close proximity to aircraft shop "Aircraft Spruce". It has also few businesses, such as a cafe "Corona Cafe", "Flying Academy" flight training center, and aircraft maintenance and repair. All represented in the scenery. As usual in my freeware, there're hundreds of small objects to make the airport "live" among several static aircraft. Some handcrafted object are also spread on the scenery with a special attention to apron texture and clean-up of the Bing texture to make the scenery blended in its environment. More features available in the flightsim.to description. Hope you'll enjoy it.

Placerville airport is located in the heart of the Sierra Nevada foothills and a common plan B for pilot diverting when Lake Tahoe is not accessible. The airport is located on top of a bluff, so you can practice your aircraft carrier landings. There’s a lot of parking spaces and a very practicable fueling island. EAA Chapter 512 as well as Skywagons (aircraft sales and brokerage) are hosted at the field. You can also have a look at inside the Ragtime Aero hangars.

freeware San Diego Ocotillo Wells (L90)
vbazillio posted a topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Ocotillo Airport (L90) is located in Ocotillo Wells, San Diego County, California.It features two runways with dirt surfaces. The first runway, 13/31, measures 4.210 by 150 feet (1,283 x 46 m), while the second runway 9/27 is 2,330 by 150 feet (710 x 46 m). on’t expect taxi sign, runway lights and even edge marking. The airport is surrounded by hills, adding a unique challenge for pilots. The airport sees an average of 60 aircraft operations per month, primarily transient general aviation and even some military. You can meet Osprey blowing sand here! Free to download at https://flightsim.to/file/69641/ocotillo-wells-airport-l90 Historically, during World War II, the airport was used by the US Navy and was known as Naval Outlying Field, Ocotillo Dry Lake1. It served as a training base and supported various operations. The airport was returned to the county in 1956. This airport, with its dirt runways and surrounding hills, offers a unique flying experience that blends history and challenge. It’s the latest of the 8 aviation facilities owned by the County of San Diego included in the collection https://flightsim.to/collection/35/san-diego-general-aviation-airports It didn’t take time to build hangars and airport’s buildings. There’s none And the two runways lied on a dry lake. The surface is soft or sandy depending of the condition. It’s hard to identify the runway from the ground. Ocotillo ends my amateur task to covered all small General Aviation airports managed by the San Diego County. Palomar (KCRQ) and San Diego International are covered by commercial product. For the rest, feel free to test my freeware sceneries: https://flightsim.to/profile/vbazillio Hope you'll enjoy ! Feel free to share your feedback, there's a lot of room for improvement.

freeware Ocotillo Wells (L90) work-in-progress
vbazillio posted a topic in The AVSIM Screen Shots Forum
Here’re development screenshots of my next (very small) freeware scenery: Ocotillo Wells (L90). I guess that with this one released I will have finished the whole coverage of General Aviation airports of San Diego (with exception of 2 commercial products) With Ocotillo, I’m not busy with hangars and buildings. There’s none 🙂 And the two runways lied on a dry lake and the surface is soft or sandy depending of the condition. Hard to identify the runway from the ground. This scenery will be release as a freeware and will be part of the San Diego GA collection: https://flightsim.to/collection/35/san-diego-general-aviation-airports -

Yes Another Small GA Airport in California. Here we go. One after another (KPVF). Here's the early screenshot of Mariposa Yosemite Airport (KMPI) project in MSFS Scenery Editor. Of course, if you know a dev who have already started this airport, please let me know ASAP! The airfield is small but the terraformring is more complex that expected. If you have hirez picture or video of the any local infrastructure, please let me know! I need uptodate and detailed info. And if you want to support , just click "Follow me" (which means "I want this too"), on the flightsim.to scenery request page : https://flightsim.to/requests/sceneries/9437/mariposa-yosemite-airport-kmpi It's free ! Thank you!

I never land nor take off from this airfield. Nor in real or in the sim. But a request made as a comment of one of my scenery raised my attention. Small size, regular buildings for a GA field (I suck in Blender/Sketchup), plenty of single prop planes based and most of all a spectacular location on a mountain top. Yeah.... It's not Sedona, but Placerville (KPVF) is my current project for now. A big task to collect data and visual material on Internet. It's also an excuse to move away from San Diego where there isn't much field left to get build in MSFS!

freeware Jacumba Airport (L78) San Diego
vbazillio posted a topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
“Flying over, or driving by on Interstate 8, you might miss tiny Jacumba. But hundreds of soaring enthusiasts know the airport and some even know where the town is. However, few people know what Jacumba is all about. On weekends you’ll find sail planes being towed aloft to catch the thermals, with pilots who savor the solitude and challenge of powerless flight. During the week the airport is quiet, inhabited by hawks and their prey.” Source: County of San Diego Free to download for PC: https://flightsim.to/file/66976/jacumba-airport-l78 Features Terraforming to level and match elevation + relief of the area Add the Solar farm and the Powerplant of the Jacumba Valley Ranch Energy Park Add winch(s) for gliders Add the border wall ;( Add small specific signs (and some “Help wanted”) Add static gliders on apron Remove several erroneous buildings on hills around the field Replace the runway marking with custom one (bigger numbers) Fix vegetation at close proximity of the field A lot of correction on ground textures More info for pilots Field elevation is 2844 feet MSL, CTAF on 122.900, no services available, runway 07-25 is an asphalt of 2562 x 60 feet (781 x 18 meters).

Some picture of the last update of Montgomery Field KMYF free at https://flightsim.to/file/5856/montgomery-gibbs-exec-airport-taxiway-fix-and-many-more Sometime fix and improvement don't pop-up in the face at first sight. If you look closely at marking of the real runway 28R/10L at KMYF, the aiming point and touchdown zone are only visible on runway 28R and not on 10L. This requires a lot of work just to match the reality 😉 I also take the opportunity to enhanced and fix several taxiways and holding point to better blend and match with the underlying texture of runways 28/10. Hope you enjoy even if it's not that much visible. Just a matter of "as-real-as-it-gets" 😉

Fallbrook Community Airport (L18) is 60 miles north of San Diego. The runway is unique, slightly short (2160ft) sited on a lone mesa a few hundred feet above the city. It’s a small hill which makes the hangars and some of the taxiways lower than the runway, requiring to taxi up hill. The approach view include "Mt. Palomar, home to the world-famous 200-inch reflecting telescope, to the east. To the west is the Marine’s Camp Pendleton, to the south is the San Luis Rey Valley, and to the north sits the largely agricultural community of Fallbrook, most famous for its avocados, and a handful of celebrities who mostly want to remain anonymous." (source Airport Journal). It’s a very (very) difficult airfield to enhance in MSFS because of the multiple terrasses from the top transient apron to the town ground level. I’ll do my best to simulate these different levels with my amateur skill 🙂 L18 is one of the last (?) San Diego airport to cover the whole area with some freewares and some payware (Palomar, San Diego Intl…). I have done the most of the phase of collecting data on Internet (Youtube, Flickr, Yelp, Google, Mapcarta, Bing map, San Diego County, local business websites…). But there’re still some Blue sign on uphill taxiway that I can’t identify, just to take a single example. If you have material to share that could help, go! Please, feel free to share them! As all my amateur’ish work, it will be available for free. If you wan to support click “follow” (I want this too) on this page : Sceneries Requests - Fallbrook Airpark L18 - Flightsim.to

For the younger generation, Bowerman airport means nothing. It’s a small GA airfield on the Pacific North West Coast near Seattle, Washington. For the older FSx/P3D simmers, it should remind the Orbx freeware scenery that set the quality standard at that time. So, let’s bring back souvenir and have a quick bit at Lana’s Cafe. It’s free to download: https://flightsim.to/file/62459/bowerman-airport-vintage-edition-khqm Perfectly located, KHQM could be the perfect starting point to explore this awesome area. With it’s 6-24 asphalt runway of 5,000 feet (1,524 meters, ILS runway 24), KHQM is promoted as “Only Jet-Capable Airport” by the local authority. It will match GA to Bizjet perfectly and don’t forget to have lunch at the restaurant. Why a Vintage Edition? This scenery is a mixed between what exists today (Oct’23) and what it was around 2014. For example: Lana’s Cafe has moved from the airfield to downtown. Nowadays the building restaurant has been destroyed. But in this scenery, the iconic restaurant is still there as it was in Orbx freeware. Features Fix all taxiway signs Fix runway PAPI Fix windsocks Replace all AI generated hangars and buildings with more appropriate MSFS stocked objects Replace all light blue poles with inert blue reflectors Enhance all taxiways/apron textures (cracked, more various colors, patches) Improve visual on final 24 : water waste plant (Hoquiam Sewage Treatment Plant) and wood factory (Willis Enterprises), still WIP + cleanup the water bassin to reveal hidden part wrongly covered by default Improve visual on final 6 : water exclusion on the bay to reveal Grays Harbor National Wildlife Water exclusion to redesign the low tide on the shore (WIP) More pic available on the screenshot forum's section:

Quite close from being released as freeware. If you want to appreciate the work done, please have a look of KHQM in MSFS today without this future freeware 😉 Bowerman after the rain. FedEX building: The raw of lonely hangars: The local authorities promotes Bowerman airfield as the only-capable-jet airport of the area, so I put a Citation in an opened hangar. Fake Chevron sign.: Lana’s Cafe recreation. Not on the field since 2014. But was in the Orbx scenery: Pilot’s lounge... and bikes for free: The bay of Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge behind the airfield, finally clear of water: Improvement of the visual short final runway 24 with the pier of the wood factory (Willis Enterprises) and the treatment plant:

Spent some time on this old classic, completely new paintkit in 4k, new pbr, inside and out, and some isg retrofits and gauge edits. never really showed it on forums like this so dont really know how to format this but sorta the same thing that those guys did to erick cantu's emb-120 PBR covering the entire cockpit, due to the way mcx handles these old models i cant use any of its old lighting features except for the upper panel for some reason, so FSLspotlights work just fine Had some custom ECAMS and FMC setup by ken webber over at patriot air works This is the GE/Freighter -600, specifically with some pbr textures for a converted freighter Daytime shot

This site has been around for quite some time and the owner does a great job of gathering together in one place all the freeware scenery available for P3D including v5. I bought him a coffee today for his trouble. If you haven't used the site it's a great resource and many airports are a half-way house between default and payware. https://www.freewarescenery.com/fsx.html

Not sure if Hong Kong Airlines cargo actually visit East Midlands, but it could happen and the a330 freighter certainly has the non-stop range, if only with about 25 metric tons or so. I rather like UK2000's products, they do seem rather fps friendly. When one of the configuration options is choosing to add 4000 cars or not, it shows the developer has thought about such things! Ratcliffe power station at work! I'll circle over those cylindrical chemtrail dispensers until the intake fed collector tanks are full enough for me to spread the chemtrails over the eastern half of England... Ahem. Enjoy.

No, it's not the Flysimware nor Alabeo versions, just the freeware shakey jake, hence the functional VC, but the polished metal looks great! It seems to fly OK too, but then again I'm far from an expert! A quick VFR jaunt over the Easter weekend. Cheers.

fsx-ms IFR flight but ILS approach not an option?
HighBypass posted a topic in MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum
To date I haven't used any real VATSIM people or any addon ATC packages for FSX:SE so I bumble along using the default ATC which as we all know has limitations I do inject real world METARs via FSOpen Clouds though, but the sim usually integrates that in quite well - ATIS gives an appropriate runway use based on the wind. I was flying back from Chambery to Leeds Bradford (Freemium 757). The weather was foggy over parts of England. ATC told me to expect vectors for visual RWY14. OK fair enough, it might be clear When I got the last vector telling me how far I was from the airport and to report runway in sight.... there was just a blanket of fog around and below me.. When reporting runway not in site, all the scripted ATC did was to re-iterate my position in relation to the airport. When I opted to select another approach, the only other option I got from the ATC menu were Visual approaches to the disused 9/27 runways. (closed in 2005 I believe). No ILS for 14 or 32 were given. The only other option was to generate an IFR plan to another destination. Perhaps the program doesn't take account of the enhanced fog generated by FSOpen Clouds to combat the stock fog appearing out of nowhere? I declared missed, got vectored back around and let the ILS do its job - I lied to ATC, said I could see the runway and carried on the approach...the runway appeared out of the murk much nearer to the minimums It seems ILS is not always a valid option in sim as far as ATC is concerned when it thinks the airport is visible for miles. No one said the ILS was inoperative that day.... All good sim fun! -
This trip was loosely (very loosely!) based on a report of an EMERCOM IL-76 mission. The plane delivered 40 tons of supplies to Simferopol (I believe the max.payload is 100000 lb - 50 tons). The return trip flew 52 refugees to Voronezh. http://www.airmedandrescue.com/story/russia-flies-ukrainian-refugees876 This is the return trip. The tough transport plane is ready. Waiting for passengers. Taxying out. Getting her cleaned up. Goodbye Simferopol (need to get FTX Vectors or something to sort out airfield elevations! :( ) Approaching the Sea of Azov. Descending towards Voronezh. Visual for RWY12. A little high... however, we'll soon sort that out.... Told you we'd sort it! Not too many screams; not that many windows in the back! :Shame On You: Perfect 3-point landing! ON THE NOSE GEAR!! Everybody out. Preliminary inspection of the nose gear indicates it is fine. It's Russian. It can go off road. Not a problem! Thanks for viewing.
