King Seaaero Seaplane Base (FL42) 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.
King Seaaero Seaplane Base is Located 02 miles NW of Winter Haven, Florida, business district. It is a private seaplane Base on 2 acres of LAKE Cannon.

Located 02 miles NW of Winter Haven, Florida on 2 acres of land.

The scenery was made with Airport Facilitator X and Instant Scenery. I added Seaplane docks, static seaplane and land vehicles, and a small marina to make landing here mre interesting. The real Seaplane base does not have docking for seaplanes/float planes.

INSTALLATION:
unpack the zip file. After unzipping move the FL42 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.
