Goddard Seadrome Seaplane Base (FD46) For FSX
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am based out of Ocala, Florida and my home airport is Ocala Intl (KOCF). 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 FSX seaplane bases beginning with my home state of Florida. This is my first attempt to make flying into seaplane bases more enjoyable.I have also added ADF and VOR's to this seaplane base to make it easier to find it, since their are so many lakes and water areas in Florida, you can easily miss the actual base when trying to land.

Scenery Details
The scenery was made with ADE 1.50 and is in the correct position according to satellite views. Even though the real Airport does not have docking for seaplanes/float planes I have added them.
The file FD46_ADEX_BB.BGL is located in the zip file. After unzipping the download zip file copy the FD46_ADEX_BB.BGL file to the Addon Scenery/Scenery folder......That's it.....enjoy
Comments or Remarks are welcome:
I'd like to thank Jon Masterson for ADE (Airport Design Editor) which was used to make this scenery.
I hope you enjoy this scenery.
