FS2004 California Airports in or about 1959 and 1962. Mike Stevens
and I have altered San Diego, Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, and San Francisco
and 10 other California airports to take them back to the 50's and early 60's
(from period photos), so you can fly your classic planes in Classic Scenery!
The image above is of the LAX terminal area in 1962, with the famous "satellites".
The old 1950's terminal is in the far right background - just a few clicks
in the Scenery Library will transform the scenery as it was in 1959, with the
old terminal in use and the satellites just starting construction. Other
airports are also included (a total of 37!), although not based on period
photos. Now improved with GMAX terminals and details for maximum frame rates.
Enjoy! (6.5 MB) Last modified on 10/4/05.
FS2004 1959 Honolulu Airport. I've redone the main Hawaiian airport
as it was in 1959 (and before the new terminal opened very late in 1962), complete
with the famous green "Aloha tower". It includes all the features
of the California scenery, including new Hawaiian billboards from Mike Stevens.
It also reduces the size of Honolulu to backdate the area. Now improved with
landable water and piers! Enjoy! (2 MB). Now version 2 with improved taxiway
lighting from Wolfgang Gersch. Last modified on 4/23/09.
FS2004 1960 Pacific Northwest Scenery. Jason Krogmann and I have created
this scenery to provide classic airports in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. I
created GMAX terminals for Seattle, Portland, and Salem and backdated the rest
of the airports. Jason provided the research material and created the rest of
the Portland airport and environs. Thanks! Last updated on 6/19/07.
FS2004 Las Vegas in 1959 or 1963. Mike Stevens and I have created this scenery to backdate the Las Vegas area as it was in 1959 and 1963 (pictured). We've added new GMAX buildings for the airport terminals as well as the hotels and casinos on the strip and downtown. These objects also include such landmarks as Vegas Vic pointing the way to the Pioneer Casino, the pool at the top of the Mint tower, the old Las Vegas Convention Center, the horse racing track, and many others. Also included is the Union Pacific train depot, with the City of Las Vegas getting ready to depart for Los Angeles (a total of over 100 custom GMAX objects!). Many objects are animated, including signs whose neon lights move and swoop as never before seen in FS! Last updated on 9/6/2006. Fix File (provides white roof texture missing in the main release package). Last updated on 2/12/08.
1963 Southwestern USA Scenery. Mike Stevens and I have created this
scenery to complete the southwestern US in the classic era. Several new GMAX
terminals have been created, with many other details included. Don't forget
to check out the classic billboards around the airports. Real advertisements
have been used to create a wonderful look at 50's/60's advertising! Major airports
include Phoenix, Tucson, Albuquerque (pictured), Salt Lake City, and Reno, along
with many minor airports too. Thanks to Dee Waldron, who created the Heron 2B
and the Piper PA28R Arrow used in this package for Apache and Thunderbird commuter
AI traffic. Last updated on 4/6/07.
1959 Southwestern USA Scenery. I've backdated our 1963 scenery (above) so the old terminals at Phoenix, Tucson, Salt Lake City and Yuma are used instead. The new terminals at Phoenix and Yuma are gone, while the other two are under construction. All other features identical to the above scenery. Will install alongside the 1963 version, and let you pick the era from the Scenery Library.
1958 Denver Stapleton Airport (XDEN). Randy Cain created this great
rendition of Stapleton's terminal in 1958, and I created much of the rest. Stapleton
(now closed) was a main hub for United airlines, along with Western, Continental,
Frontier, and several others. Thanks a lot Randy! Also includes 33 other backdated
airports in Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana (using default/library addon terminals).
Last updated on 5/7/07. 1969 Version .
I've created this simple scenery which will open
the later Stapleton terminal for you and eliminate the new DIA. Last modified
on 3/16/04.
FS2004 1959 Louisiana-Mississippi-Memphis-Little Rock Scenery Mike Stevens has created this great scenery, complete with period billboards and drive-in theaters (I helped a little). It includes New Orleans, Memphis, Little Rock, and smaller Louisiana and Mississippi airports that had airline service (like Natchez above). Thanks! Last updated on 12/13/05.
FS2004 1958 Memphis Airport Scenery. Paul Young has created a more correct Memphis airport. Just make sure to have this Memphis scenery layer above the ArkLaMiss layer. Thanks! Last updated on 6/11/10.
FS2004 1959 Chicago Midway Airport (KMDW). Joachim Neff and
I have been working on a new scenery for "the busiest airport in the world"
back then. It was too small for the jets, though, and quickly lost it's traffic
to O'Hare airport - by 1963 it was a ghost town. Joachim created the very nice
terminal in GMAX and I did the rest. I think it turned out great! Last modified
on 1/16/07.
FS2004 1962 New York Idlewild Airport (KJFK). I have created the major buildings (with signs) for all the terminals present in 1962, along with a backdated airport layout. Bill Tyne and I have created new Canarsie visual approaches for the AI aircraft to follow, edited the photorealistic ground textures, and added a few taxiway signs scattered about. Thanks Bill! Last modified on 10/15/09.
FS2004 1958 New York Idlewild Airport (KJFK). I have backdated the 1962 airport above (by removing all of the individual airline's unit terminals) to 1958. Both packages may be installed, and desired year selected in the Scenery Library. Last modified on 12/3/09.
FS2004 New York La Guardia Airport 1959 (KLGA). Jaap de Baare
and I have created this scenery for New York's domestic airport circa 1959.
This scenery comes complete with Jaap's Marine Air Terminal and PAA 5 sided
hangar. A new terminal and lengthened runways were in place by 1964, to accomodate
the jets. Last updated on 12/31/07.
FS2004 Forth Worth Amon Carter Field 1962 (KACF). This scenery
is dated just before the airport's expansion in late 1962. After that it was
known as Greater Southwest Intl Airport. While most know it as Amon Carter,
before that it was officially Greater Ft. Worth Intl. It always was battling
for traffic with Dallas Love Field, a battle it usually lost. Just across the
street from the current DFW, it was torn down after DFW opened. Kristopher Crook
created the terminal building and American Hangar, while I created much of the
rest. Note that this scenery removes DFW airport when activated. Last updated
on 4/2/08.
FS2004 Baltimore Friendship 1957 (KBWI). Here is a new scenery, and the terminal, ramp equipment, etc. have been created with a new program - Google Sketchup. Easier to use than GMAX, I have a tutorial available that describes how to use it to create FS buildings. Baltimore was the "jet" airport for Washington DC before Dulles opened in 1963. Al Courtney has created this very nice airport - thanks!! Last updated on 3/5/10.
FS2004 Kansas City Municipal Airport 1960 (KMKC).
Kenny Fox has created this very nice scenery that models the very small Kansas
City airport before things moved to KMCI. It comes complete with custom terminals,
as well as detail objects. Great job! Last updated on 6/24/09. Modified
parking to accommodate the CalClassic AI traffic at the airport.
FS2004 Kansas City Municipal Airport 1958 (KMKC). Here is an earlier version of the Kansas City airport. Paul Young has created this one, and AFAIK it's the first classic scenery with the terminal created in the new CAD program Sketchup, which is much easier to use than GMAX and FSDS. I have a tutorial on the process too. This package also include Fairfax airport across the river. Download the fix too. Thanks! Last updated on 2/18/10.
FS2004 Miami International Airport 1956 (KMIA). Let's go down to where the palm trees sway and the weather's always warm - Miami, Florida. This 1956 scenery (before the much larger terminal was built) was created by Kenny Fox, and he's done a great job. Also includes Key West scenery for 1950. Thanks! Last updated on 10/20/09.
FS2004/FSX Key West Airport 1950 (KEYW). As part of the Miami Airport scenery listed above, Kenny has also included Key West in 1950. Thanks! Last updated on 10/20/09.
FS2004 1962 Havana Cuba Scenery (MUHA). Mike Stevens has produced this
very nice representation of Havana's classic 1950's-1960's airport. It also
includes several casinos, cathedrals, and the El Morro Fortress guarding the
harbor entrance. Thanks! Last modified on 6/4/07.
FS2004 1962 St. Louis Lambert Field (KSTL). Paul Young and I have been able to backdate Gary Widup's great (but modern) St. Louis airport scenery into 1962! Follow the instructions carefully, since these files will sit in a scenery layer above Gary's scenery layer and change them back to 1962. Change to modern times with a mouse click! Also requires Gary Widup's St. Louis airport scenery. Last updated on 1/6/09.
FS2004 1956 Roanoke Woodrum Field (KROA). Kenny Fox has created
this great little airport, just perfect for those trips down to Virginia. Thanks!
Last updated on 1/18/10.
FS2004 Dayton James M. Cox Airport 1956 (KDAY). Al Courtney has created this very nice depiction of the Dayton, OH airport back in the 1950's. Thanks!! Last updated on 2/18/10.
FS2004 St. Petersburg Pinellas Intl Airport 1957 (KPIE). Al has also done the St. Petersburg, FL airport, this time from 1957! Thanks again. Last updated on 2/18/10.
FS2004 1951 Ford Island NAS (NPS). This very nice rendition
of the Navy's facility in Honolulu was created by Randy Cain. Based on an aerial
photo, it probably looked much like this throughout our era. You will need to
have the large CalClassic sceneries installed (the ones listed at the top) to
have the addon libraries installed. Thanks Randy! Last updated on 10/5/08.
FS2004 Frazier Lake Airpark (1C9). Noel Sivertson and I have
created this nice little GA airport, complete with a "ditch" for landing
seaplanes. This unique airport comes complete with GA/seaplane traffic (planes
downloaded separately). Thanks! Last updated on 10/5/08.
FS2004 Northern California Seaplane Bases. Noel Sivertson has
also created a series of 11 GA seaplane bases in Northern California. Pictured
above is Commodore Center in Sausalito. This comes complete with GA seaplane
traffic (planes downloaded separately). They include bases on Lake Tahoe, Clear
Lake, Folsom Lake, Los Banos, etc. Thanks so much! Last updated on 10/5/08.
FS2004 1962 Pan American Building (NYC). This file will transform
the current MetLife building back into the original Pan Am Building. Built in
the early 1960's, this landmark later (1965) had a heliport on the roof. If
do not care about the heliport (not used by my helicopter AI traffic), all you
need to do is replace the two default BMP files. If you want the heliport to
show up in FS, you need to follow all of his instructions. Thanks to Ben Zwebner!
Last updated on 5/19/08.
FS2004/FS2002 San Francisco Bay Area Bridges. Mike Mahat has
created new bridges for the Bay Area to replace the default ones. These are
such an improvement! If you do not have an addon mesh for the Golden Gate Bridge
area the bridge won't meet the land, but this can be fixed with these
files from Noel Sivertson. Since the Dumbarton bridge was replaced in 1982
and the default bridge looks more like the old one, you can move two BGL files,
dumbarton.bgl and exclude_dumbarton.bgl from the Bay Area Bridges/scenery folder
into the main Bay Area Bridges folder to get the look closer to the 1960's.
Last updated on 4/13/08.
FS2004 1963 Tijuana Mexico Airport (MMTJ). This neat little
airport just below the US border was created by Mike Stevens. You can see the
border fence from the end of the runway! In 1963 this was an Aeronaves de Mexico
stronghold, although Mexicana and Trans Mar de Cortes served it in earlier years.
Thanks Mike! Last updated on 4/9/08.
FS2004 1959 Atlanta Hartsfield Airport (KATL). Dutch Owen has
created this recreation of Atlanta's airport before the larger terminal was
built in 1961, and I modified the aircraft parking. Thanks Dutch! Last updated
on 2/4/08.
FS2004 1962 Atlanta Hartsfield Airport (KATL). Mike Stevens
and I have modified Alan Campbell's fine 1979 KATL scenery to backdate it to
1962, when the new terminal had just opened. The old terminal was still used
as a cargo terminal until a new one was built a few years later. Last updated
on 2/13/08.
FS2004 1962 Jacksonville Imeson Airport (KJIF). Jim Daigneau
and I have created the old Jacksonville airport, before JAX was built. Early
on this was the headquarters of National Airlines. This package also removes
the new KJAX airport. Thanks Jim for the help! Last updated on 1/23/08.
FS2004 1959 Gander Airport (CYQX). Wolfgang Gersch has produced
scenery for this airport so necessary to early transatlantic flight. Thanks!
Last updated on 10/12/06.
FS2002/FS2004 DEW Line Stations. This file adds 78 DEW Line
radar stations (and airports) to northern Alaska, Canada, and Greenland. Al
Gay and Bear Baker created them - thanks! (12 MB). FS2004
update by Curt Jardy - required for FS2004! Last updated on 1/2/08.
FS2004 Hamilton AFB Scenery. This scenery recreates the Air
Force Base at San Rafael just north of San Francisco. It was created by Derek
and Brendan Webb. Although this is modern scenery, the AFB has changed very
little over the years. Thanks! AFCAD file to
allow AI aircraft to use the base, by Noel Sivertson. Place a copy of this AFCAD
file into your FS2004/Scenery/World/scenery folder to correct the AI aircraft
elevations, as well as a copy into the scenery's San Rafael folder. Last updated
on 3/10/09.
FS2004 Alameda NAS Scenery. This scenery by Derek and Brendan
Webb reopens the Alameda Naval Air Station in San Francisco Bay. Download the
patch
too. Although this is modern scenery, the NAS has changed very little over the
years. Thanks again! AFCAD file by Noel Sivertson,
allows AI aircraft to use the base. Place a copy of this AFCAD file into your
FS2004/Scenery/World/scenery folder to correct the AI aircraft elevations, as
well as a copy into the scenery's Alameda folder. Last updated on 3/10/09.
FS2004
1963 Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (EHAM). Jaap de Baare, Wolfgang Gersch
and Harry Biard have created this masterpiece, a very detailed scenery of one
of the main airports of Europe. This airport comes complete with the Fokker
factory and the new terminal under construction. Fantastic job, guys! Last updated
on 9/24/07.
FS2004 Paris Orly Airport 1963 (LFPO). Harry Biard has created
this amazing airport, complete with a road tunnel through the heart of the place!
He had the help of Jaap Baare, Wolfgang Gersch, and myself in this big project.
Be sure to turn off Detect Crashes, due to the numerous scenery objects that
may intrude in the various parts of the scenery. Orly was the major international
airport in Paris in 1963, shared with the somewhat smaller La Bourget, available
below. Thanks guys! Last updated on 3/4/08.
FS2004 1960 Paris Le Bourget Airport (LFPB). Wolfgang Gersch
and Volker Boehme have created this wonderful scenery of this famous Paris airport
in 1960. The classic terminal building, the old hangars - they're all here!
Le Bourget was the main airport in the 30's and 40's and still had quite a bit
of airline traffic in 1960, although many airlines had transferred to Orly by
then. Thanks! Last updated on 6/19/07.
FS2004 1962 Berlin Tempelhof Airport (EDDI). The iconic symbol
of the Berlin Airlift in the late 1940's, Tempelhof airport was the major airport
for West Berlin in the 1950's, and for Pan Am and BEA in the 1960's. It actually
was a US Air Force base, and the MATS traffic shuttles in and out of here regularly.
Mike Stevens and Juergen Seidel have done a great job capturing this imposing
edifice - a remnant of the Nazis before WWII. Thanks! Last updated on 10/25/08.
FS2004 1961 Berlin Tegel Airport (EDDT). This very nice rendition of
Berlin's airport in the French Sector has been created by Mike Stevens. Air
France used Templehof during the 50's, but transferred its flights to Tegel
in the early 60's. Other airlines followed later. Thanks! Last modified on 10/25/08.
FS2004 1960's Berlin Gatow Airport (EDUG). Each Allied occupying
country (USA, Britain, and France) had an airport in West Berlin, and Gatow
was the British example. Never used by the airlines (BEA used Tempelhof), it
was an RAF base and was used by charter airlines for RAF trooping flights and
other related purposes. Gatow was closed in the 1990's and is now the site of
the Luftwaffe museum and residential housing. This relatively unknown airport
was created by Manfred Jahn, who has personal memories of it. Thanks so much!
Last updated on 10/25/08.
FS2004 1963 East Germany Scenery. This wonderfully detailed
scenery was created by Mike Stevens, who spent several years in the country.
It includes most airports in East Germany that had airline service in 1963.
They include Berlin-Schönefeld (pictured), Eisenach, Erfurt, Karl-Marx-Stadt
(Chemnitz), Leipzig-Schkeuditz (Halle), Leipzig-Mockau, Dresden-Klotsche, Barth,
Heringsdorf, Anklam, and Sellin. It also includes small details like Trabant
cars, Ikarus buses, security personnel, flags, posters, etc. The center of Berlin
also has had details added, including the Wall, Checkpoint Charlie, guard posts,
and several others. Thanks for a great project, Mike! Last updated on 10/25/08.
FS2004 1960 Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (EKCH). Now version 2! Jens
Kristensen has created this beautiful rendition of Copenhagen's airport after
the new terminal opened. Definitely looks Scandinavian! This distinctive terminal
was home to most of SAS's international flights, and as you can see the DC-7C
is well represented indeed. Thanks a lot Jens! Last updated on 4/9/09.
FS2004 1959 Lisbon Airport (LPPT). Harry Biard, Jaap de Baare,
Wolfgang Gersch and myself have teamed up to create a beautiful rendition of
the airport at Lisbon, Portugal, a city often at the center of aviation progress.
The Pan American Clippers flew into Lisbon harbor on the southern route across
the Atlantic, and in 1959 it was still an important stop on that same route.
Enjoy! Last updated on 2/19/09.
FS2004 1962 Manchester Ringway Airport (EGCC). David Maltby
has very graciously backdated his 1975 scenery of this English airport to it's
appearance in 1962, just after the new terminal opened. I did only a little
AFCAD editing. Thanks so much for the great airport! Last updated on 2/25/09.
FS2004 1960 Glasgow Renfrew Airport (EGRF). Nikko Yaginuma
has started with Geoff Smith's very nice Glasgow Renfrew scenery and added lots
of little details and reworked the ground areas of the airport, along with modifying
the AFCAD file so it works with the AI traffic package. Thanks to both of you!
Last updated on 4/15/09.
FS2004 1962 Malta Luqa Airport (LMML). Ian Elliot has created this very nice rendition of the RAF base on Malta, also used by commercial aircraft. This "island fortress" was an important stopover in the Mediterranean Sea. Thanks! Last updated on 3/5/10.
FS2004 1961 London Heathrow Airport (EGLL). Wolfgang Gersch
has outdone himself with this one! Probably the busiest airport in Europe was
just about busting at the seams in this era, before more terminals opened. Wolfgang
and I have also included some extra details, like signs and more detailed terminals.
Last updated on 1/16/07.
FS2004 1961 London Gatwick Airport (EGKK). Nikko Yaginuma has
created this very nice rendition of Gatwick airport soon after it was rebuilt
in the late 1950's. This was the London airport for many of the charter and
cargo airlines. BEA and other airlines also flew scheduled service out of Gatwick.
Thanks! Last updated on 8/25/09.
FS2004 1960 Rome Ciampino Airport (LIRA). Here's a beautiful
airport for you to fly into Italy with. Wolfgang Gersch has created this wonderful
version of Rome's airport before Fiumicino opened. Thanks! Last updated on 1/2/07.
FS2004 1960 Shannon Airport (EINN). Wolfgang Gersch has produced another
airport scenery for the other end of the typical early transatlantic flight.
Thanks again! Last updated on 11/28/06.

Rolf-Uwe Hochmuth have produced this very nice scenery for this classic airport,
now closed. Thanks guys! Last updated on 9/22/06.
FS2004 1961 Frankfurt Airport (EDDF). Wolfgang Gersch has produced this scenery to provide taxiways, buildings and details as they were around 1961 at Frankfurt Main airport. Nice job! Last updated on 7/11/06.
FS2004 1960 Oslo Fornebu Airport (ENFB). Wolfgang Gersch and
I have teamed up to produce this representation of Oslo's Fornebu airport, which
was closed in 1998. It also reduces the current Gardermoen international airport
to the small GA airport of the period. Enjoy! Last updated on 7/31/07.
FS2004 Rotterdam Airport 1963 (EHRD). Harry Biard, Jaap de
Baare, Wolfgang Gersch, and I have created this scenery for Holland's "other"
airport (EHAM Amsterdam is of course the major airport there). It includes a
very nice rendition of the Rotterdam harbor (including an ocean liner created
by Jaap), and scenery for the Valkenburg NAFB as well. Great job! Last updated
on 1/18/08.
FS2004 Malmo Bulltofta Airport 1963 (ESMM). Nikko Yaginuma
has created this nice approximation of the old Malmo (Sweden) Bulltofta airport.
This airport was hemmed in by the city, and was replaced by Sturup airport in
1972. Thanks! Last updated on 1/19/09.
FS2004 1960 and 1967 Liverpool Speke Airport (EGGP). Paul Derbyshire
has released his EGGP VFR Landmarks sceneries, one of which is this very nice
rendition of the old terminal complex, which is some distance from the default
airport. I have converted his scenery into a complete airport, for both 1960
(using the original runways) and 1967 (using the new runway, quite a taxi from
the terminal). You will also need to download Paul's original
file. Last modified on 1/25/07.
FS2004 1962 Nicosia Airport (LCNC). This simple scenery by
Gergely Kosa (backdated AFCAD file by Nikko Yaginuma) will open up the Nicosia,
Cyprus aiport, since closed by civil strife. It replaces the modern day Larnica
airport (LCLK). Thanks to all! Last modified on 3/5/09.
FS2004 1950's Coventry Airport (EGBE). This nice scenery has
been created by Peter Larkham. Coventry was used by some supplemental British
airlines in our period. Thanks! Last updated on 10/19/08. Replacement
AFCAD file that allows classic AI aircraft to operate here. Last modified
on 10/19/08.
FS2004 1963 Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport. Jim Vile and I have created this backdated Kai Tak scenery, as it was before the huge expansion of the 1980's, and its replacement by the even larger Chek Lap Kok airport in 1998. Jim has created approaches that you can use with ATC, including the famous 47 degree right turn to final to runway 13 (the "checkerboard approach")(request the LDA rwy 13 for the IGS). Jim has also created a modern version. Last updated on 5/27/06.
FS2004 Tokyo Haneda Airport 1962/1965. Aaron Seymour and I
have created this fantastic rendition of Tokyo's international airport in the
classic era, Haneda. Aaron did a great job using library objects for the terminal,
while I created some of the hangars in GMAX. In 1965 a new runway was added
parallel to the existing runway, and the old runway became the parallel taxiway.
The JAMCO hangars in the distance also became JAL. Thanks Aaron! Last updated
on 9/24/08.
FS2004 Indochina Scenery 1962. This amazing scenery from Mike
Stevens includes Hanoi Gia Lam, Da Nang airbase, Saigon Tan Son Nhut, Vientiane
Laos, Phnom Penh Cambodia, Rangoon and Mandalay Burma, along with some medium
sized airports and some small airport AFCAD files. This is one detailed scenery
- look at the custom people figures in the shot above! Vintage billboards at
Saigon also add to the atmosphere. Thanks so much! Last updated on 4/7/09.
FS2004 Tel Aviv Lod Airport 1961 (LLBG). Lod was and is Tel
Aviv's major airport, used for all airline flights in 1961, and most international
flights today. Mike Stevens used GMAX to create the terminal and many of the
hangars and other buildings at the airport.Four other airports have also been
backdated: Eilath (LLET), Sde Dov (LLSD), Mahanaim (LLIB), and Beer Sheeba (Teyman
LLBS). These cities constituted the entire route network of Arkia, the local
airline of Israel, in 1961. Thanks Mike! Last updated on 10/31/08.
FS2004 Jakarta Kemayoran Airport 1962 (WIID). Wolfgang Gersch
and Mike Stevens have done a wonderful job on this complex terminal and little
known airport. Kemayoran was Indonesia's original international airport, and
has since been closed. Thanks guys! Last updated on 8/26/09.
FS2004 Bangkok Don Muang Airport 1961 (VTBD). Here is Bangkok, Thailand
in 1961, created by Wofgang Gersch, Jaap Baare, and myself. While very few pictures
of the airport surfaced, Wolfgang did a great job. I created the GMAX terminal,
while Jaap textured much of it. Last updated on 3/17/08.
FS2004 Tehran Mehrabad Airport (OIII) 1960. This wonderful
airport has been created by Wolfgang Gersch and Jaap de Baare. The GMAX terminal
is just great, and all the little details around the parking lots is amazing.
This continues Wolfgang's Silk Road project, with airports from London to Sydney.
Great job, guys! Last updated on 1/19/09.
FS2004 Beirut Lebanon Airport 1959 (OLBA). Wolfgang Gersch,
Jaap de Baare, and I have created this scenery of the major hub in the Middle
East, Beirut. It held this position for many years, until internal strife made
the country too dangerous for connecting air travel. So go back to the wonderful
days when your arrival was greeted with "Bienvenue au Liban". Last
updated on 2/6/08.
FS2004 Calcutta Dum Dum Airport 1960 (VECC). Dum Dum airport
in Calcutta (now called Kolkata) was on the main BOAC and QANTAS route between
Australia and Britain, and was a destination for many Asian airlines in India.
Wolfgang Gersch created this nostalgic look back at a very interesting place.
Thanks! Last updated on 12/31/07.
FS2004 Singapore Paya Lebar Airport 1961 (WSAP). Paya Lebar
was the main airport at Singapore until Changi was opened in 1981. Wolfgang
Gersch has performed his magic once again to bring this old airport to life
- thanks!! Last updated on 12/18/07.
FS2004 1960 Karachi Airport (OPKC). Wolfgang Gersch has created
this wonderfully "period" airport, complete with semicircular terminal.
It was an important stopover on the route between Europe and Asia. Thanks! Last
updated on 12/13/07.
FS2004 La Paz El Alto Airport 1963 (SLLP). One of the highest
commercial airline airports in the world, you better have your power settings
correct when you take off from here! Jaap de Baare created the GMAX terminal,
while Harry Biard created the rest of the buildings and all the little details.
I helped with the landclass and VTP roads. Thanks! Last updated on 4/02/08.
FS2004 Maracaibo Grano de Oro Airport 1962 (SVMO). Cesar Marcano
created this simple scenery for an airport that has since been closed, and I
edited the AFCAD file to backdate the parking, etc. Thanks! Last updated on
7/25/08.
FS2004 1961 Sydney Kingsford-Smith Airport (YSSY). The busiest
airport in Australia, this fine airport was created by Wolfgang Gersch, Jaap
de Baare, Adrian Wainer, and myself. This airport includes details not often
seen in classic scenery before this, including 3D signs, busses, flags, and
other details. There are separate terminals for TAA/East-West, Ansett-ANA/NSW
Airlines, and QANTAS/International. Thanks! Last updated on 11/12/08.
FS2004 1960 Nadi (Fiji) Intl. Airport (NFFN). This was quite
an important airport back in the 1950's and 60's, since many aircraft didn't
have the range to fly nonstop between Hawaii and Australia or New Zealand. Thus
Nadi (sometimes spelled Nandi then) was an important stop in our time frame.
Wolfgang Gersch has created this very tropical airport for all of us to enjoy
- thanks! Last updated on 6/1/08.
FS2004 1962 Auckland Whenuapai Airport (NZWP). Wolfgang Gersch
has created a great rendition of an airport few even know about. Whenuapai was
the main Auckland (New Zealand) airport for many years, until the current airport
opened in 1965. Great job! Last updated on 5/19/08.
FS2004 1960 Darwin Intl. Airport (YPDN). This very nice stop
on the way from Europe to Sydney was created by Wolfgang Gersch, who has become
a master at the creation of classic airports - thanks! Last updated on 4/16/08.
FS2004 1960 Livingstone Airport (FLLI). Here is Wolfgang's
latest creation on the Route from London to Johannesburg - Livingstone. It has
long been the stepping off point for those who want to see Victoria Falls (and
it meshes perfectly with existing Victoria Falls scenery), and was an early
stopping point for the BOAC Comet 1's. Thanks! Last updated on 4/7/09.
FS2004 1962 Khartoum Intl. Airport (HSSS). Let's head for North
Africa! Wolfgang Gersch and Jaap de Baare have created this great way to have
a stopover on the route from London to South Africa. Thanks! Last updated on
2/17/09.
FS2004 Cairo Intl Airport 1963 (HECA). Wolfgang Gersch has
done it again! Here is a very nice interpretation of Cairo's new airport, circa
1963. It was an important stopover on many of the flights from Europe to Africa
as well. Thanks! Last updated on 12/10/08.
FS2004 Leopoldville Airport 1960 (FZAA). This very nice and
detailed scenery was created by Johan Dees. It provides a nice stopover on your
trips in Africa. Leopoldville has since been renamed Kinshasa, but we'll still
think of it as Leopoldville in the Belgian Congo for our classic trips. Thanks!

FS2004 1960 Entebbe Airport (HUEN). Wolfgang Gersch has produced this
scenery to provide taxiways, buildings and details as they were around 1960
at the Entebbe (Uganda) airport. Thanks! Last updated on 10/31/06.
FS2004 Ocean Stations. Now with wakes and smoke! I've created 18 stations
as they were at various times between 1950 and 1981 (see text file for times
certain stations were in operation). They are located in the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans, including the famous Ocean Station November between Hawaii and California.
I've included a GMAX ship at each station, graciously provided by Mitsuya Hamaguchi
(hama) and repainted into period colors. I've included AI ships painted for
the USA, UK, France, Norway, and Japan, since they operated these stations.
Each station comes complete with an NDB homing beacon and a DME to get your
distance from the ship. You will also be able to contact the ship for a location
check and a weather report. Last updated on 2/12/07. Replacement
effects file adds smoke from the stack. Last updated on 9/15/08. Version
for use in Multiplayer (ship doesn't disappear). Disadvantage - US ships
at all stations. Last updated on 2/12/07.
FS2002
California Airports in or about 1959. I've altered San Diego, Los
Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, and San Francisco airports to take them back to
the 50's and early 60's (from period photos), so you can fly your classic planes
in Classic Scenery! The image above is of the old LAX terminal area, before
they built the satellites in the early 60's. Static Classic airliners
are featured at the Lockheed plant in Burbank. Other airports are also
included (a total of 38!), although not based on period photos. Now improved
with smooth surfaces at SAC, OAK, and SAN. Enjoy! Last modified
on 9/23/02. AFCAD files and AI Traffic to match this scenery are
available below.
Patch to eliminate white areas at some airports. Only needed if you downloaded the latest version before 9/27/02. Last modified on 9/27/02.
Denver Stapleton Airport. Denver
Stapleton is completely missing in FS2002. I've created this scenery which
will open Stapleton for you, and eliminate the new DIA. All navaids are
present, including LOM's. Last modified on 9/23/02.
Navaids:
DEN VOR 117.00 (on field)
LOM Rwy 26L 362
LOM Rwy 17L 281
FS2000 California Airports in or about 1959. I've altered San Diego, Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, and San Francisco airports to take them back to the 50's and early 60's (from period photos), so you can fly your classic planes in Classic Scenery! Static Classic airliners are featured at the Lockheed plant in Burbank and the Douglas plant in Santa Monica. Other airports are also included (a total of 38!), although not based on period photos. Enjoy! Last modified on 7/16/00.
Denver Stapleton Airport. While
Stapleton is present in FS2000, it's shown as closed. I've created this
scenery which will open Stapleton for you, and eliminate the new DIA.

FS98 California Airports in or about 1959.
I've altered San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco airports to take
them back to the 50's and early 60's (from period photos), so you can fly your
classic planes in Classic Scenery! The image above is of the old LAX terminal
area, before they built the satellites in the early 60's (FS2002 version pictured).
Static Classic airliners are featured at several airports. Other
airports are also included (BFL, FAT, SCK, and CCR), although not based on period
photos. I also slightly improved Ken Little's SAC. Enjoy! Last
modified on 2/28/98.
New Dynamic Scenery - I've created new
dynamic propliners for many of the California airports using the new DynKit
- they are for FS98 only and slow the frame rate some, but if you have a 3D
card and a reasonable Pentium or better you have to try them! Also includes
an updated CA'59 scenery file for smooth airport surfaces. Last updated
on 6/20/98.
For those with FS98, Stapleton is shown as closed. This scenery by Ben West should re-open it for you!
Fort Worth, TX - Amon Carter Field ACF
Kristopher Crook has researched and built the airport that served Ft. Worth before DFW was opened; Amon Carter Field (also known as Greater Southwest). This was used by many airlines, competing with Dallas' Love Field. Kristopher has included static propliners, and even a B-36 out front!
