SurClaro Flight Simulator Resources

What all is needed to install gates, tug tractors, and so forth to airports? Just AFCAD or other packages as well? Could someone please help me? Thank you.

Most gates and stuff come with the airport scenery. Tugs mostly come with the aircraft like the Posky 767. You can have other dynamic scenery as well but would need to find them as seperate addons.

As Skipperdan put it, Runway 12 is another such addon. Lago's Scenery Enhancer is one as well but it's payware.

I find stuff like that in the 'misc' and 'scenery' sections of sites. Try that as well.

If you want to spend a few bucks for some nice software, check out this link. I own Atlanta and Philadelphia. The software includes GATES that move out to your aircraft Cool

KSEA? Did I hear KSEA? *beep* time someone makes a "descent" scenery. I think the MS team did a bad job for such a "detailed" airport.
Who is making SEA Exx? I thot simflyers was making CYVR, which is another pushover job my MS Rolling Eyes

The only problem I have with simflyers is their polycounts for their sceneries are rediculous. The framerates for me when way down, so unbearable I couldn't fly to DFW anymore unless I uninstalled the scenery. Of course, this was before my computer update, but still. I would like to add to the list here:
www.flytampa.com makes some very beautiful sceneries, and yet, with hardly any framerate hit. It is amazing. I highly recommend them.

EDIT Flytampa is making the SEA. Check the shots out in the forum Very Happy

Excellent call about FLYTAMPA.

I also have this software. It is excellent software. Foregive me for being a bit prejudice. However, since I live about 45 minutes from the airport, I have a strong attachment to this airport.

PS: Computer Pilot Magazine featured the Tampa Airport in their Calendar of the Month for March. I am currently using it as my Desktop. Sometime today or tomorrow, I plan to cut out the month of march from the upper right corner and continue to use the picture as my desktop. Cool

My bad. Yes you are right Ping. Not Simflyers, but FlyTampa is what I have. Agreed on your assessment of Simflyers, it is a resource hog.

Good call...and that is a great shot for the desktop Skipperdan.

Hey Guys,

I have Runway 12 and the Object placer. It is fun to work with and am having fun with it. Only problem is, it takes alot of time to get your stuff where and how you want it. Very time consuming. I am very interested in the Atlanta thingy, probably going to get it soon.

Now, are there other a/p's that have the same scenery addons, and if so, how do you find out if it is there with that scenery. Most download sights show only one pic, and untill you install it, you don't know if its cool or crap.

All comments/help appreciated Very Happy
