Key West and Gitmo

Post by Ford Friendly »

Heads up for those of you using FSX.

Today, Jim Cook posted two files on avsim.com you might want to check out.
Leeward Point Field - Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (MUGM) --- gitmo.zip
NAS Key West - Key West, FL (KNQX) --- keywest.zip

They are AFX-based and he's added some scenery using Instant Scenery.

Edit: Additional information.
I installed the two Key West NAS files on my machine and they look pretty good. My only "real issue" with his afcad is that Jim has what seems to be exceptionally wide parking widths for the fighter parking area. Consequently, I resized them down to about 30' radii and put a few more spots in. This matches up with Google a bit better in my opinion. The one other minor thing is that I needed to make an exclusion for some stray autogen buildings - different landclass product, probably different result.

Gitmo is about a year and half into construction for both Fs9 and FSX. Within both scenerys features restored McCalla Field and fisherman's point. John Stinstrom graciously created the tower, Leeward main hanger and McCalla Hanger along with base hospital. Scenerys expected Eta shuld be mid Feb 09 and it will come with the Cuban Main Airforce Base Hq MUSA. I'm just haveing trouble with Fs9 landclass around the harbor area.

I'll post some screenies soon of GTMO McCalla Field soon along with MUGM NAS. The buildings in the pics above were made by John Stinstrom. The USCG has a Avdet unit assigned there plus a USMC detachment for base security.
