Project update
Today I received Jim Dhaenens' permission to modify and repost his FS2004 scenery.
So amongst other adjustments I am going to replace the gas stations along runway 5R with the gas pumps that are already along runway 32.
Not exactly as in real life, but close
fuel pits along runway 32L
fuel pits along runway 5R
(photos taken during 2007 airshow)
It looks what started as an AFCAD and flight plan project develops more and more into a scenery project.

Your project is looking wonderful.
The thing I especially appreciate is that it includes some detail beyond the flightline.
I know that modeling an entire military base (admin, storage, morale/welfare, housing and so on) is not practical due to time and effort to create, and importantly, frame rates and file size, however, it is a little disappointing to see airfields modeled without even a hint of those areas. It just looks so artifical and lifeless without, and always leaves me feeling a little sad.
What you have done here is a great boost to the overall appearance to the airstation. Thanks for your efforts!

Man, that looks good. I think I have the scenery you're using, and I've made a few flight plans to have F-18s go do touch-and-goes at Fentress, but the project to fully populate Oceana ran out of steam due to real-life obligations.
It also looks like you put London Bridge Rd in there, too. Looks very good. Can't wait to add this to my FS.
