ABOUT THE SCENERY:
This scenery came about mainly because the wonderful assistance from a fellow flight simmer Gary Rabbitt. He put together some pictures of Nashville that were incredible. I came to realize that the facility is not an easy one to re-create. Without the pics from Gary, this scenery might never have been done. I wanted to give the scenery something extra so I played with some dynamic movement with the fuel trucks. Though I didn't see any collision with the ai aircraft, I'm sure that as the area gets filled with aircraft, that "collisions" will occur with the fuel trucks. Well this is only the beginning. Hopefully, third party designers will be able to come up with something that will make the mix of ai aircraft and dynamic scenery vehicles work together. AS usual, you will need the ASDv2.1, Nova,Nova Gold and Novasim textures. The static vehicles and dynamic vehicles are from Lago's FSE if you already have that program you will see the "candy" scenery. If you don't, the scenery will not be visible. Lago's FSE is recommended, but it's not required. My own custom textures are already included with this download. Please enjoy this scenery and if there is any problems or comments, you can contact me at the address below.
