Grand Lake St. Marys Seaport O12 rests in Ohio's largest inland lake at Celina, Ohio. Float and soar plane enthusiasts will find thermals (several are placed within about a 60 mile radius) and plenty of docks or moors around the lake for your Amphib and afcads. Best soar plane field is at Fortman 1OH4 in this scenery. Depending on real weather direction, varying gusts (ridge) will become active. I've not tried to find all the way to Dayton KDAY in the sail plane, yet. Hope to have the Baro-triggered tornado fx done soon. Thanks BillD for beta testing. -- Grand Lake St. Marys Seaport O12 scenery is made to blend with autogen scenery and default mesh. Uses custom made objects & default objects. I've tried to name the bgl(s) and remarked the xml so easier identifying for those who edit. Thanks to the many freeware API makers and utility makers. Scenery developers consider my custom objects as freeware for your use. Developers, please e-mail for fx and API as some already have, intending to upload more of these api/fx to AVSIM. EZ-Landclass Version 2.00Copyright © 2003 by Russel Dirks August 2003 method is clever in that it swops-out default textures and does not change the mesh, keeping the original mesh altitude for universal AFCAD makers and multiplaying. Simmers AFCAD will work with this near default scenery. Airports: Lakefield KCQA - Mulholland OI99 - Fortman 1OH4 and Grand Lake St marys O12
