How to organize your Scenery Layers

It is important that you arrange your scenery layers in this order, for proper display:

Top of the list in the FS Scenery Library:
Any sceneries that state they must be at the top of the list
Global Mesh (FSGenesis, etc.)
Regional Mesh
Local Mesh
All classic airport and regional scenery layers (CA59/62, Stapleton, ArkLaMiss, etc.)
CalClassic Core
CalClassic Landclass
Any other addon scenery you may have (unless they tell you otherwise)
Static Library Objects
Addon Scenery
All default layers

How to install Scenery (FS2004 or FSX)

NEW: System 7 users when adding new scenery layers in the Scenery Library will need to right click the empty white box after clicking OK for the box to close and the scenery to be actually added to the library.

Follow the text file's instructions carefully to install FS2000 scenery.

Note that my recent scenery packages use an automated installer and thus do not follow the above instructions exactly.

North America

KLAX
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 35 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 70!) with accurate airport layouts, although the buildings are not based on period photos. Enjoy!  Last modified on 1/31/17.

Hawaii 1959
FS2004 Hawaii 1959.
Mike Stevens, Al Courtney, and I have created Hawaiian airports as they were in 1959. Honolulu is included of course, reworked from the original scenery I did some time ago. But we've added all the other major (and some minor) airports in the rest of the state as well. Enjoy! Last modified on 12/3/13.

FSX Hawaii 1959. Kenny Fox, Bernward Bockheim, and I have converted the Hawaii 1959 scenery above into FSX format. You will also need to install the FS2004 Classic Libraries mega download and the FSX Classic Libraries Update (links above). Last updated on 3/27/14.

Pacific Northwest

Now version 2!  Mike Stevens and I have created this scenery to provide classic airports in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho.

Las Vegas

FS2004 Las Vegas in 1959 or 1963 (KLAS). Now version 2 with ground equipment and oil spots.  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 custom 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 9/22/2021.

Southwest 1963
1963 Southwestern USA Scenery.
Now version 2! 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 10/22/22.

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.  Last updated on 10/22/22.

Stapleton 58

Stapleton 62
1958 and 1962 Denver Stapleton Airport (XDEN).  Now version 4.
Randy Cain created this great rendition of Stapleton's terminal in 1958, Mike Stevens created the 1962 version changes, Dan French created the new tower,, and I created some 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 and Mike! Also includes 35 other backdated airports in Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana (using library object terminals). Last updated on 11/7/21.

Miami

1962 Miami Intl Airport (KMIA).  Al Courtney, Kenny Fox, and Tom Gibson have created the gateway to South America in the classic era, Miami International.  Miami airport had a very large number of airlines serving it, second only in the US to New York Idlewild.  It also featured a large number of charter and freight airlines, many of them in "Corrosion Corner" in the northwest corner of the airport.  Thanks to Al and Kenny for a fne job!  Last updated on 7/13/17.

KMSP 1962

1962 And 1959 Minneapolis St. Paul Intl. Airport (KMSP).  Mike Stevens and I have created the home of Northwest Airlines as it was in 1959 or 1962.  The terminal opened in January 1962, and so it was brand new.  Last updated on 2/24/20.

ArkLaMiss

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.

Birmingham
FS2004 1962 Birmingham Airport Scenery (KBHM).  Birmingham is the largest city in Alabama and was known as The Pittsburgh of the South due to its steel industry.  Juan Antonio Martinez Castro and Al Von Pingel have created this very nice airport for us - thanks!  Last updated on 4/28/20.

FS2004 1958 Memphis Airport Scenery (KMEM). 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.

Texas Airports
FS2004 1962 Texas Airport Scenery. This fine scenery from Juan Antonio Martinez Castro., Jorge Rechani and Al V.

This package incorporates the previous individual downloads for Dan French's KHOU/Houston and KSAT/San Antonio as well as KATT/Austin, and adds KDAL/Dallas Love too., Great job, guys! Last updated on 2/8/14.

Chicago Midway
FS2004 1959 Chicago Midway Airport (KMDW). Now version 2.1 with the help of Al Von Pingel!  Version 2.1 includes lots of new buildings and the overall airport improved using old photos, along with oilspots and ramp equipment!  Joachim Neff and I created the original version of this "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 1962 it was a ghost town. Joachim created the very nice terminal in GMAX and I did much of the original airport layout work, and Al took this and added a lot of detail and extra features. I think it turned out great! Last modified on 4/24/20.   Previous version 2.0.   Last updated on 4/6/20.

Chicago O'Hare Airport
FS2004 1962 Chicago O'Hare Airport (KORD). The other major Chicago airport was O'Hare, named for a WWII pilot. When Midway had no room for expansion as the jets arrived, traffic moved here by 1962. Julio Birman and I have created this modification of the default ORD to backdate it to 1962, when it became "the busiest airport in the world". Now version 2 with added custom buildings from Al Courtney! Thanks Julio and Al! Last updated on 4/7/13.

FS2004 1962 Illinois Airports. To go with the Chicago airports above, here is scenery circa 1962 for some smaller Illinois airports.

NYC

FS2004 1962 New York Idlewild Airport (KJFK). Chris Helton has created a new, more detailed version of Idlewild airport in 1962.  This was the major international airport in the United States.  Thanks, Chris!  Last updated on 10/16/14.   Simple version.  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). The 1958 version is already included in Chris Helton's download above.  Simple version.  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.

LaGuardia Airport
FS2004 New York La Guardia Airport 1959 (KLGA).  Now version 2. Jaap de Baare, Mike Stevens 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 7/16/17.

FSX 1950 Version by Casey Brasel.  A completely updated version, with many improvements.  Last updated on 7/6/17.

Washington National
FS2004 Washington National Airport 1960 (KDCA). Now version 3!  Chris Helton is the author of this fine airport at the US capital city, and he has done a great job, and Mike Stevens has made some fine improvements with version 3. While DCA was the "close in" airport, it couldn't handle the jets of the era. So Baltimore (KBWI) handled the jets (download separately). Chris also included the airports just across the Potomac River, Anacostia NAS/Bolling AFB. Thanks! Last updated on 10/16/21.

Boston Logan
FS2004 Boston Logan Airport 1959 and 1962 (KBOS). Now version 2! This nice scenery from Chris Gorodetzky includes the distinctive curved terminal as it was in 1959 and in 1962, after the extra fingers were added. Boston was a major domestic and international airport in our era. Thanks Chris! Last updated on 4/18/20.


FS2004 Newark Intl Airport 1958 (KEWR). Another great scenery from Chris Gorodetzky! This one is Newark, which was the third New York airport, after Idlewild and La Guardia. This was actually the first New York airport, before the other two were built. Thanks Chris! Last updated on 6/25/13.

KPHL

FS2004 Philadelphia Intl. Airport 1962 and 1958 (KPHL). Chris Gorodetzky has created this very nice rendition of the Philadelphia's airport.  He has created both 1958 and 1962 (with an extended runway for the new jets).  Often a forgotten airport, it had service from all the major airlines of the area, and even had nonstop service to Europe from Pan American.  Thanks again Chris!  Last updated on 8/10/14.

Czarnecki for all the hard work!  Last updated on 3/25/2016.

Ft. Worth Amon Carter Airport
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.

Atlanta Airport
FS2004 1957/1962/1972 Atlanta Municipal/Hartsfield Airport (KATL). Juan Martinez and Stan Winke have modified David Henderson's fine KATL scenery to 3 different years, adding a lot of great details along the way. The 1957 airport is the old one, while in 1962 the new terminal had just opened (pictured above). The old terminal was still used as a cargo terminal until a new one was built a few years later. Finally, in 1972 the fingers had the circular additions and the old terminal was replaced by an Eastern hangar. Thanks all! Last updated on 3/27/13.

Baltimore Airport

FS2004 Baltimore Friendship 1957 (KBWI). 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.

Last updated on 6/24/09.   FSX version.  Last updated on 10/16/14.

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 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.

kokc

FS2004 Oklahoma City Will Rogers Airport 1962 (KOKC).  Dan French has created the airport named for one of America's most beloved sages, Will Rogers.  This fills in a gap in the routes across the US - thanks!  Last updated on 1/27/15.

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.

Fairbanks Airport
FS2004 Fairbanks International Airport 1962 (PAFA). This fine terminal was created by Al Courtney, and Al and I created the rest of the airport too. :) Fairbanks was the hub of not only Pan American in Alaska, but of Wien Air Alaska as well.

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 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.

SF Bay Bridges
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.

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.

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.

FS2004 1955-1957 RAF Burtonwood  (EGOB).  Burtonwood was for some years the most important air base in the United Kingdom, at least in terms of its size and the amount of traffic which passed through it. Assigned to the USAF after WWII, it became a major MATS terminal.  A new control tower and terminal building opened in 1955. Then disaster struck when the site began to suffer from mining subsidence.

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.

Oceania


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.

Africa


Africa 1960. This magnificent package from Wolfgang Gersch, Harry Biard, Jaap de Baare, Mike Stevens, Nikko Yaginuma, Johan Dees and myself contains 105 airports - virtually all that had airline service back then! Almost all the large airports were created using GMAX or Sketchup custom terminals, and the smaller airport use library objects instead. This one package will backdate the continent to the early 1960's, when travelling there was a real challenge, and could provide some real excitement. Note that you should deactivate any existing classic African scenery (Cairo (HECA), Entebbe (HUEN), Khartoum (HSSS), Leopoldville (FZAA) and Livingstone (FLLI)) since this package replaces those efforts. Thanks to everyone involved! Last updated on 10/20/10.

tunis

FS2004 Tunis El Aouina Airport 1960 (DTTA)  This fine airport was created by Michael "Sabi" Schneider, Wolfgang Gersch, Harry Biard and Tom Gibson.  It's nice to have another North African airport to fly into, isn't it?  France built this classic airport after WWII, and it became the headquarters of the airline Tunisair.  Thanks!  Last updated on 1/19/16.

Wheelus AFB

FS2004 Wheelus AFB 1955-1962 (HLLM).  Wheelus AB was a USAF base located in Tripoli Libya until it was closed in 1970.  Wheelus served many purposes: as a MATS station; as a Reflex base hosting various bombers for short rotations at different times; and as a gunnery and bombing training facility supporting many United States Air Forces in Europe squadrons which flew in for month long training sessions to practice live gunnery and bomb training exercises at the nearby El-Uotia Gunnery Range. This is also included in the scenery. Separate traffic is provided for 1955, 1957, 1959 and 1962, each schedule reflecting a mix of visiting squadrons and aircraft types.  By Al Von Pingel, Ken Lawson and Dan French.  Thanks!  Last updated on 7/24/23.

Ocean Stations

Ocean Stations
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. Now supports 1955 AI traffic. Last updated on 7/9/2021. 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.
