Took-off from S52 in the Aerobask Diamond DA62 and climbed straight out of the Methow Valley. Once I got through Twisp Pass and the mountains, I was treated to the scenic vistas of Mount Logan and El Dorado Peak. As I was passing by Mount Baker, the weather updated :/ The terrain radar helped me avoid the remaining mountains and I got through the clouds without incident. That is, until I saw the oil in my starboard engine was cold. Wasn't sure what was going on, so I pressed my approach into Bellingham International. The landing went fine and was just in time. My right engine quit the moment I touched down

vFlyteAir's SR20 made the hop from Centralia to Yakima an absolute joy. I passed between Mount Ranier to my north, Mount Saint Helens to my southwest, and Mount Adams to my southeast. Once I overflew Rimrock Lake, the metropolis of Yakima exploded beneath me. After an extended downwind to bleed off some altitude, I put down nice and easy on Runway 22.

KIAD - Washington Dulles International Airport View 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! VIDEOS: Dulles IAD v3.0 Overview Dulles IAD v3.0 Trailer REQUIREMENTS: OpenSceneryX FF_Library FAIB_Aircraft MisterX_Library AutoGate Plugin by Marginal (Optional) INSTALLATION: Always check the Readme.rtf file before installing.

Welcome to the busiest airport in the mid-atlantic, outside the New York area! I made this airport using nothing but OpenSceneryX, Google Sketchup, and the objects included with X-Plane 10. There aren't any, apart from Ted's, Dulles' out for X-Plane. You can convert from FSX scenery, but, that's a little too much for those of us who aren't into the developing thing. This scenery package is made using OverlayEditor and WED, all objects are accurately placed using satellite images by ESRI, included with OverlayEditor. ENJOY! Many updates are on the way. Use HDR Rendering for best results. I strongly recommend RealTerra Haze. OpenSceneryX is required! Autogate Plugin is REQUIRED, and can be found by google searching it. Check out this screenshot montage: http://youtu.be/puxTFo4GPCc?list=UUTu7u0uFdd51ANc3a8a0Qcw Video Overview: http://youtu.be/24yi5crI1kY -

File Name: KOLM - Olympia Regional Airport File Submitter: LowTransition File Submitted: 07 Oct 2013 File Category: DSF Scenery Packages X-Plane Version(s): X-Plane 10 About KOLM KOLM Olympia Regional is a general aviation airport located along the I-5 corridor just south of Washington’s capital. It is a public use facility owned by the Port of Olympia. KOLM offers two paved asphalt runways, an instrument landing system (ILS), the Olympia VOR nav aid, 100LL and Jet-A fuel services, flight schools, oxygen, hangars, tiedowns, and aircraft maintenance facilities. KOLM is also home to the Washington State Patrol’s aviation division and the Olympic Flight Museum. The museum puts on an annual air show offering numerous civil and military static displays, aerobatic and warbird flight demonstrations and usually a US Military jet fighter or two. In 2009, Olympia Regional averaged 131 air operations per day, the vast majority of which were general aviation related. My Rendition KOLM was an airport I have wanted to build in WED ever since I got started in scenery building. It is much larger than all the others I have built thus far and I really wanted to save it until I had properly honed my design skills to do it justice. Having attended the annual, “Olympic Airshow,” here on several occasions, I was highly motivated to bring a good quality version of KOLM to XPlane. Well…here we are! Setting out in the design, I was very pleased to find that the default apt.dat for KOLM was already very well laid out with great lines and a majority of the taxi signs already accurately placed and labeled. Though it still required a significant amount of tweaking, having a good base to build on really made my life a lot easier from the start, helping the rest of the airport design fall into place. As is the case with all of my other airports, I have sought to make KOLM as accurately rendered as possible utilizing available resources. You’ll quickly notice that this scenery package includes several custom modeled building objects expertly designed by our own Brian Godwin, the designer of the excellent and hugely popular KDFW Dallas Ft. Worth project. While consulting with Brian regarding custom ATC routes, he generously offered to model several of the buildings for me. It really worked out well as I was able to provide my own photos for use in the textures as well as a, “boots on the ground,” perspective. The end result is a scenery package that is exponentially more accurate than I could have created on my own. Included in the download and packaged with the scenery are two separate ICAO’s, WN70 Northwest Helicopters, and 0WN4 Olympia Heliport. Northwest Helicopters in directly on site and didn’t really require much from me. Olympia Heliport, however, to the immediate southeast of KOLM, is modeled more plausibly, though it’s still a nice place to fly rotorcraft. KOLM features custom ATC routes and numerous custom buildings. I have also included some, “in hangar,” start locations to add to the immersion level so the user has the choice of making Olympia Regional their home field. Enjoy! Acknowledgements Thanks to the following for the big and small contributions made to this scenery: - Ben Supnik (creator of WED), none of this would be here without you! - Jacques Brault (creator of several buildings and objects used in this scenery) - The many contributors to OpensceneryX - walterblenny (horizontal fuel tanks and anemometer and wind vane objects) - Mr 3D and chris noe (Real Flag, Flags of the World, Flags of the USA states) - Aerospace (consultation) - Pierre Lavaux (consultation/testing) - Lightman (consultation/testing/encouragement) Special Thanks KOLM is really a joint project on so many levels. A very special thanks goes first and foremost to Brian Godwin for all your help bringing this project to life. Thanks for devoting so much of your time and energy to this, from 3D modeling to consultation, advice, and encouragement. I couldn’t have done it without you!

File Name: S31 Lopez Island Airport File Submitter: LowTransition File Submitted: 19 Jul 2013 File Category: DSF Scenery Packages X-Plane Version(s): X-Plane 10 Welcome to Washington's beautiful San Juan Islands! Located smack dab between the Washington mainland and British Columbia's Vancouver Island, the San Juan's are a tourism hotspot, abounding in stunning natural beauty with some quaint island life sprinkled in. The San Juan's are a boater's and sea kayaker's paradise and whale watching is a major tourist draw to the islands with waterways teeming with several pods of resident Orca's (Killer Whales). It is also a poorly kept secret that the San Juan's offer the General Aviation pilot some truly awesome flying opportunities. With at least 20 airports to choose from, between seaplane bases, private airfields, and public use GA facilities, the San Juan Islands are calling your inner Cessna driver! Ditch the push button flying bus, jump into your favorite 100 knot airplane and prepare for some island hopping aviation at its best! S31 Lopez Island Airport is the third largest public use GA airfield in the San Juan's behind KFHR and KORS. If you don't have them already, Aerospace, has modeled Friday Harbor and Orcas Island airports beautifully and I highly recommend downloading them in addition to Lopez. The Privateer has also provided us with a couple of the smaller fields as part of his KNUW Naval Air Station Whidbey Island scenery package. In modeling S31 I have attempted to recreate the airport as faithfully as possible utilizing elements from the default WED 1.2 library, OpensceneryX, and several objects from our own Jacques Brault. I really enjoy modeling the runway to match its real world counterpart and, as always, strive to squeeze in as much realism as possible into my scenery packages. I have populated Fisherman's Bay to the north of the field with several boats and docks to give the scenery on a whole that extra measure of plausibility. According to my research, the airport was freshly paved early last summer (2012) and looks slightly different now than what was available to me for satellite imagery. It appears that the taxiway is now shaped slightly differently at both ends of the runway and the parking T's appear to have been placed differently on the ramp. My rendition, therefore, represents the, "old," version of the airport. I think we can live with it, though I will consider updating the file in the future when current imagery becomes available. Special thanks to the following: Ben Supnik, creator of WED, Brian Godwin, Aerospace, Jacques Brault, and Lightman, my personal beta tester! Click here to download this file

File Name: W04 Ocean Shores Municipal Airport File Submitter: LowTransition File Submitted: 09 Jul 2013 File Category: DSF Scenery Packages X-Plane Version(s): X-Plane 10 Welcome to Ocean Shores, Washington! This is a real gem of a small GA airfield located in the greater Gray's Harbor Region. I highly recommend downloading my KHQM Bowerman Airport scenery package located here: http://forums.x-pilot.com/files/file/481-khqm-bowerman-airport/ This will give you the large (relatively speaking) airport for the area while this one, W04 Ocean Shores, along with 14S Westport, really help to round out the region. It's really easy to bounce between all three airports doing touch and goes or just sight seeing. W04 Ocean Shores Municipal Airport features my, "custom," authentic runway and is closely modeled to the real thing. If you like my work this is another cute little GA field I'm sure you'll enjoy!

File Name: 14S Westport Airport File Submitter: LowTransition File Submitted: 09 Jul 2013 File Category: DSF Scenery Packages X-Plane Version(s): X-Plane 10 Welcome to scenic Westport, Washington! 14S is a very small but special GA field that I just had to include as a bonus scenery for my previous KHQM Bowerman Airport package. If you don't have it yet, I highly recommend getting KHQM here: http://forums.x-pilot.com/files/file/481-khqm-bowerman-airport/ Since this airport is so small I thought I'd do a few extra things to liven things up and make it feel more like a living place rather than a runway with a few buildings plopped onto it. Thus, I have modeled the numbering and lines on the runway to very closely match the real one and have also modeled the nearby marina. The marina and airport buildings are by no means exact but serve to make things plausible and alive. Enjoy Westport! Thanks to the following people as always: Ben Supnik, Brian Godwin, Jacques Brault (for the buildings, assorted objects, and airplane objects), and the contributors of opensceneryx.

File Name: 3W5 Mears Field Airport File Submitter: LowTransition File Submitted: 23 Jun 2013 File Category: DSF Scenery Packages X-Plane Version(s): X-Plane 10 Welcome to scenic Concrete, Washington and 3W5 Mears Field Airport. Formerly known as Concrete Municipal, Mears Field is a quiet, unassuming little airport nestled in the gorgeous Cascade Mountains. Mears Field is a completely unlit general aviation airport with a 2,609 x 60 ft runway and a 40 x 40 ft helipad. As I often like to do, I have provided a couple of hangar starts so you may make Concrete your home field if you wish. It would certainly be a lovely spot to hangar an airplane! When I initially started this project I really wanted to be careful to retain the small town character of this airport. I find it difficult to do this without making that runway look like the real one. I need to be honest here and say that the rubber skid marks on the default runways in XPlane sometimes annoy me, especially on a small GA field like this one. I mean, this is a tiny little airport, not LAX! So...through some experimentation and a little finesse in WED, combined with the assistance of a very talented fellow scenery designer (Aerospace), I was able to draw a custom runway with accurate numbers and lines, and get it pretty darn close to what the real one looks like. I was so happy with the results that I view the runway as the centerpiece to this little country airport. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do. Also...this is my very first airport built completely without OpenSceneryX resources. Most of the objects are either default or were created by our own very talented Jacques Brault. Thanks to the following: Ben Supnik (super genius creator of WED), Brian Godwin (scenery master), Jacques Brault (airplane/object artist), Aerospace (also a scenery master), and Lightman (discerning XPlane user and airplane reviewer). Thanks for the request, Lightman, this was definitely a good one! Click here to download this file

File Name: KHQM - Bowerman Airport File Submitter: LowTransition File Submitted: 27 May 2013 File Category: DSF Scenery Packages X-Plane Version(s): X-Plane 10 Welcome to Bowerman Airport in Hoquiam, WA! This is my very first XP10 scenery package completed using WED 1.2. I have developed several other small GA fields for version 9.70 (mostly in Washington State) but recently made the move to XP10 and will now be developing only v10 packages. I apologize if this alienates any of my loyal 9.70 fans but I have finally moved up in the XPlane world and just won't be going back! Bowerman Airport is a pleasant little GA airfield located in the Gray's Harbor region of Washington's Pacific Coast. It offers an ILS for precision approaches and a little fly-in restaurant called, "Lana's Cafe," for your $100 hamburger cravings! I strove to make this field as plausible as possible but it is by no means a picture perfect representation of the real world location. We can just imagine, for example, that, "Lana's Cafe," was such a popular and successful place that they rebuilt into a larger more modern facility! I have wanted to build this airport for quite some time but really wanted to wait until I got XP10. The default apt.dat was really well done and thoroughly mapped out so I used that as a starting point. Once I made several minor adjustments to the default apt.dat I was ready to add objects and bring KHQM to life! While I appreciate the detailed and gorgeous looking default/lib XP10 buildings, they just weren't the right sizes for what I wanted to do with Bowerman. Therefore, I have made extensive use of Jacques Brault's lovely buildings and various other objects as well as some OpensceneryX hangars and buildings. If you enjoy general aviation flying I think you'll really appreciate my rendition of Bowerman Airport! Special thanks to the following folks: Ben Supnik, the genius creator of WED, Jacques Brault for his outstanding objects, the author of the default apt.dat for KHQM (great work!), all the contributors to OpensceneryX, and to scenery guru Brian Godwin for his continued support and technical expertise!

File Name: S52 Methow Valley State File Submitter: LowTransition File Submitted: 16 Jan 2013 File Category: DSF Scenery Packages X-Plane Version(s): X-Plane 9 & 10 Nestled in the scenic Methow Valley of Washington State, Methow Valley State is considered to be the birthplace of smokejumping. For those unfamiliar, smokejumpers are brave men and women who jump out of perfectly good airplanes to fight forest fires in remote and otherwise inaccessible regions. The first, "experimental," jumpers flew out of here in 1939. Smokejumping operations continue at Methow Valley State today and the primary aircraft appears to be the versatile CASA Aviocar. My rendition of the airfield is a pretty basic WED build tested in version 9.70 only. There ought to be no reason, however, why it shouldn't work in version 10. I apologize for being a version 9 dinosaur, I'm just being stubborn and like my setup the way I've got it! Enjoy! More North/Central Washington State airports are on the way!
