Fulton Seaplane Base (0FD6) For FSX
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My home airport is Ocala Intl (KOCF) and I enjoy flying Seaplanes/Float Planes in FSX. The problem I find is that FSX is lacking some good scenery objects for many of the seaplane bases. I decided to try my hand at adding some scenery objects to the default FSX seaplane bases beginning in my home state of Florida. I have also added ADF to this seaplane base to make it easier to find, since their are so many lakes and water areas in Florida, you can easily miss the actual base when trying to land.

Fulton Seaplane Base is Located 02 miles N of Sebastian, Florida, business district in Ballard Cove and inlet along the east coast of Florida bordering the Atlantic. If learning to fly seaplanes this is a great base to fly into because it is very forgiving.

Scenery Details

The scenery was made with Instant Scenery and ADE9X. I added Seaplane dock, static seaplane, a medium marina, Resort Hotel, and estates to make landing here mre interesting. The real Seaplane base does not have docking for seaplanes/float planes. Also, I added an NDB (Non-Directional Beacon) or ADF to help you locate the seaplane base.

Frequencies:

ADF/NDB: Frequency: 508.0 Range: 50 NM

INSTALLATION:

unpack the zip file. After unzipping move the 0FD6 folder to the "Flight Simulator X\Addon Scenery" folder and then add this folder to the scenery list in FSX settings......example= C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Addon Scenery.....That's it.....enjoy


Comments or Remarks are welcome:

All of the real Seaplane base information was obtained from http://skyvector.com/


I hope you enjoy this scenery.
