About This File

INTRODUCTION:

Welcome to the busiest airport in the mid-atlantic, outside the New York area! Because this is my local, major airport, I found the need for a detailed scenery package for this airport. I believe I have pulled that off! The iconic main terminal and classic control tower, designed by Eero Saarinen, are well-represented in this package, I custom-made the models using SketchUp Make and a lot of patience. Another Dulles Airport Landmark is the National Air and Space Museum at the Udvar-Hazy Center, again, this building was custom built using SketchUp Make, and even more patience. I used Overlay Editor heavily in the creation of this package, along with World Editor (To work on the detailed parts; ATC, Ramp Starts, etc.). I made a real effort to keep this package conservative in its detail, to save frame rate, and it seems to have really improved the overall experience–for me, at least–over version 2. I hope you enjoy all of the many hours of agony and hard work I went through to provide this beautiful creation!

What's New in Version 3.2   See changelog

Released

LIBRARIES CHANGED!!! Please make sure you have THE-FRUITSTAND-Aircraft Library. This has been added to increase the variation of aircraft at the airport, and to totally phase-out any older OpenSceneryX Aircraft, that lacked the level of detail that seemed necessary for this airport.

Also, please make sure you have the CDB-Library, this was used to make the airport feel more populated and active (more flashing lights, etc.)

Introduced Mobile Lounges, at least a very early version of them, improvements and better texturing will follow, along with lights, and a Plane Mate spin-off. Eventually going to be used in a ground traffic route!!!
