FS2004 California Airports in or about 1959 and 1962. Mike Stevens
and I have altered San Diego, Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, and San Francisco
and 10 other California airports to take them back to the 50's and early 60's
(from period photos), so you can fly your classic planes in Classic Scenery!
The image above is of the LAX terminal area in 1962, with the famous "satellites".
The old 1950's terminal is in the far right background - just a few clicks
in the Scenery Library will transform the scenery as it was in 1959, with the
old terminal in use and the satellites just starting construction. Other
airports are also included (a total of 37!), although not based on period
photos. Now improved with GMAX terminals and details for maximum frame rates.
Parking spots at KLAX and KSFO already coded so FS2004 AI Traffic (below) will
park correctly. Enjoy! (6.5 MB) Last modified on 10/4/05.
FS2004 1959 Honolulu Airport. I've redone the main Hawaiian airport
as it was in 1959 (and before the new terminal opened very late in 1962), complete
with the famous green "Aloha tower". It includes all the features
of the California scenery, including new Hawaiian billboards from Mike Stevens.
It also reduces the size of Honolulu to backdate the area. Enjoy! (2 MB) Last
modified on 10/5/05.
FS2004 1960 Pacific Northwest Scenery. Jason Krogmann and I have created
this scenery to provide classic airports in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. I
created GMAX terminals for Seattle, Portland, and Salem and backdated the rest
of the airports. Jason provided the research material and created the rest of
the Portland airport and environs. Thanks! Last updated on 6/19/07.
FS2004 Las Vegas in 1959 or 1963. Mike Stevens and I have created this scenery to backdate the Las Vegas area as it was in 1959 and 1963. We've added new GMAX buildings for the airport terminals as well as the hotels and casinos on the strip and downtown. These objects also include such landmarks as Vegas Vic pointing the way to the Pioneer Casino, the pool at the top of the Mint tower, the old Las Vegas Convention Center, the horse racing track, and many others. Also included is the Union Pacific train depot, with the City of Las Vegas getting ready to depart for Los Angeles (a total of over 100 custom GMAX objects!). Many objects are animated, including signs whose neon lights move and swoop as never before seen in FS! Last updated on 9/6/2006. Fix File (provides white roof texture missing in the main release package). Last updated on 2/12/08.
1963 Southwestern USA Scenery. Mike Stevens and I have created this
scenery to complete the southwestern US in the classic era. Several new GMAX
terminals have been created, with many other details included. Don't forget
to check out the classic billboards around the airports. Real advertisements
have been used to create a wonderful look at 50's/60's advertising! Major airports
include Phoenix, Tucson, Albuquerque, Salt Lake City, and Reno, along with many
minor airports too. Thanks to Dee Waldron, who created the Heron 2B and the
Piper PA28R Arrow used in this package for Apache and Thunderbird commuter AI
traffic. Last updated on 4/6/07.
1959 Southwestern USA Scenery. I've backdated our 1963 scenery (above) so the old terminals at Phoenix, Tucson, Salt Lake City and Yuma are used instead. The new terminals at Phoenix and Yuma are gone, while the other two are under construction. All other features identical to the above scenery. Will install alongside the 1963 version, and let you pick the era from the Scenery Library.
1958 Denver Stapleton Airport (XDEN). Randy Cain created this great
rendition of Stapleton's terminal in 1958, and I created much of the rest. Stapleton
(now closed) was a main hub for United airlines, along with Western, Continental,
Frontier, and several others. Thanks a lot Randy! Also includes 33 other backdated
airports in Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana (using default/library addon terminals).
Last updated on 5/7/07. 1969 Version .
I've created this simple scenery which will open
the later Stapleton terminal for you and eliminate the new DIA. Last modified
on 3/16/04. NOTE: these files require the use of AI Aircraft
file 5B, since DIA is eliminated in both of these.
1963 Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (EHAM). Jaap de Baare, Wolfgang Gersch and Harry Biard have created this masterpiece, a very detailed scenery of one of the main airports of Europe. This airport comes complete with the Fokker factory and the new terminal under construction. Fantastic job, guys! Last updated on 9/24/07.
FS2004 1963 Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport. Jim Vile and I have created this backdated Kai Tak scenery, as it was before the huge expansion of the 1980's, and it's replacement by the even larger Chek Lap Kok airport in 1998. Jim has created approaches that you can use with ATC, including the famous 47 degree right turn to final to runway 13 (the "checkerboard approach")(request the LDA rwy 13 for the IGS). Jim has also created a modern version. Last updated on 5/27/06.
FS2004 1959 Louisiana-Mississippi-Memphis-Little Rock Scenery Mike Stevens has created this great scenery, complete with period billboards and drive-in theaters (I helped a little). It includes New Orleans, Memphis, Little Rock, and smaller Louisiana and Mississippi airport that had airline service (like Natchez above). Thanks! Last updated on 12/13/05.
FS2004 1959 Chicago Midway Airport (KMDW). Joachim Neff and
I have been working on a new scenery for "the busiest airport in the world"
back then. It was too small for the jets, though, and quickly lost it's traffic
to O'Hare airport - by 1963 it was a ghost town. Joachim created the very nice
terminal in GMAX and I did the rest. I think it turned out great! Last modified
on 1/16/07.
FS2004 New York La Guardia Airport 1959 (KLGA). Jaap de Baare
and I have created this scenery for New York's domestic airport circa 1959.
This scenery comes complete with Jaap's Marine Air Terminal and PAA 5 sided
hangar. A new terminal and lengthened runways were in place by 1964, to accomodate
the jets. Last updated on 12/31/07.
FS2004 Forth Worth Amon Carter Field 1962 (KACF). This scenery
is dated just before the airport's expansion in late 1962. After that it was
known as Greater Southwest Intl Airport. While most know it as Amon Carter,
before that it was officially Greater Ft. Worth Intl. It always was battling
for traffic with Dallas Love Field, a battle it usually lost. Just across the
street from the current DFW, it was torn down after DFW opened. Kristopher Crook
created the terminal building and American Hangar, while I created much of the
rest. Note that this scenery removes DFW airport when activated. Last updated
on 4/2/08.
FS2004 Paris Orly Airport 1963 (LFPO). Harry Biard has created
this amazing airport, complete with a road tunnel through the heart of the place!
He had the help of Jaap Baare, Wolfgang Gersch, and myself in this big project.
Be sure to turn off Detect Crashes, due to the numerous scenery objects that
may intrude in the various parts of the scenery. Orly was the major international
airport in Paris in 1963, shared with the somewhat smaller La Bourget, available
below. Thanks guys! Last updated on 3/4/08.
FS2004 La Paz El Alto Airport 1963 (SLLP). One of the highest
commercial airline airports in the world, you better have your power settings
correct when you take off from here! Jaap de Baare created the GMAX terminal,
while Harry Biard created the rest of the buildings and all the little details.
I helped with the landclass and VTP roads. Thanks! Last updated on 4/02/08.
FS2004 Bangkok Don Muang Airport 1961 (VTBD). Let's head east! Here
is Bangkok, Thailand in 1961, created by Wofgang Gersch, Jaap Baare, and myself.
While very few pictures of the airport surfaced, Wolfgang did a great job. I
created the GMAX terminal, while Jaap textured much of it. Last updated on 3/17/08.
FS2004 Beirut Lebanon Airport 1959 (OLBA). Wolfgang Gersch,
Jaap Baare, and I have created this scenery of the major hub in the Middle East,
Beirut. It held this position for many years, until internal strife made the
country too dangerous for connecting air travel. So go back to the wonderful
days when your arrival was greeted with "Bienvenue au Liban". Last
updated on 2/6/08.
FS2004 1962 Havana Cuba Scenery (MUHA). Mike Stevens has produced this
very nice representation of Havana's classic 1950's-1960's airport. It also
includes several casinos, cathedrals, and the El Morro Fortress guarding the
harbor entrance. Thanks! Last modified on 6/4/07.
FS2004 1961 Berlin Tegel Airport (EDDT). This very nice rendition of
Berlin's airport in the French Sector has been created by Mike Stevens. Air
France used Templehof during the 50's, but transferred its flights to Tegel
in the early 60's. Other airlines followed later. Thanks! Last modified on 12/13/07.
FS2004 1960 Paris Le Bourget Airport (LFPB). Wolfgang Gersch
and Volker Boehme have created this wonderful scenery of this famous Paris airport
in 1960. The classic terminal building, the old hangars - they're all here!
Le Bourget was the main airport in the 30's and 40's and still had quite a bit
of airline traffic in 1960, although many airlines had transferred to Orly by
then. Thanks! Last updated on 6/19/07.
FS2004 1960 Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (EKCH). Jens Kristensen has
created this beautiful rendition of Copenhagen's airport after the new terminal
opened. Definitely looks Scandinavian! This distinctive terminal was home to
most of SAS's international flights, and as you can see the DC-7C is well represented
indeed. Thanks a lot Jens! Last updated on 7/20/07.
FS2004 1963 Tijuana Mexico Airport (MMTJ). This neat little
airport just below the US border was created by Mike Stevens. You can see the
border fence from the end of the runway! In 1963 this was an Aeronaves de Mexico
stronghold, although Mexicana and Trans Mar de Cortes served it in earlier years.
Thanks Mike! Last updated on 4/9/08.
FS2004 1960 Darwin Intl. Airport (YPDN). This very nice stop
on the way from Europe to Sydney was created by Wolfgang Gersch, who has become
a master at the creation of classic airports - thanks! Last updated on 4/16/08.
FS2004 1959 Atlanta Hartsfield Airport (KATL). Dutch Owen has
created this recreation of Atlanta's airport before the larger terminal was
built in 1961, and I modified the aircraft parking. Thanks Dutch! Last updated
on 2/4/08.
FS2004 1962 Atlanta Hartsfield Airport (KATL). Mike Stevens
and I have modified Alan Campbell's fine 1979 KATL scenery to backdate it to
1962, when the new terminal had just opened. The old terminal was still used
as a cargo terminal until a new one was built a few years later. Last updated
on 2/13/08.
FS2004 1962 Jacksonville Imeson Airport (KJIF). Jim Daigneau
and I have created the old Jacksonville airport, before JAX was built. Early
on this was the headquarters of National Airlines. This package also removes
the new KJAX airport. Thanks Jim for the help! Last updated on 1/23/08.
FS2002/FS2004 DEW Line Stations. This file adds 78 DEW Line
radar stations (and airports) to northern Alaska, Canada, and Greenland. Al
Gay and Bear Baker created them - thanks! (12 MB). FS2004
update by Curt Jardy - required for FS2004! Last updated on 1/2/08.
FS2004 Ocean Stations. Now with wakes! I've created 18 stations as
they were at various times between 1950 and 1981 (see text file for times certain
stations were in operation). They are located in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans,
including the famous Ocean Station November between Hawaii and California. I've
included a GMAX ship at each station, graciously provided by Mitsuya Hamaguchi
(hama) and repainted into period colors. I've included AI ships painted for
the USA, UK, France, Norway, and Japan, since they operated these stations.
Each station comes complete with an NDB homing beacon and a DME to get your
distance from the ship. You will also be able to contact the ship for a location
check and a weather report. Version
for use in Multiplayer (ship doesn't disappear). Disadvantage - US ships
at all stations. Last updated on 2/12/07.
FS2004 Rotterdam Airport 1963 (EHRD). Harry Biard, Jaap de
Baare, Wolfgang Gersch, and I have created this scenery for Holland's "other"
airport (EHAM Amsterdam is of course the major airport there). It includes a
very nice rendition of the Rotterdam harbor (including an ocean liner created
by Jaap), and scenery for the Valkenburg NAFB as well. Great job! Last updated
on 1/18/08.
FS2004 Calcutta Dum Dum Airport 1960 (VECC). Dum Dum airport
in Calcutta (now called Kolkata) was on the main BOAC and QANTAS route between
Australia and Britain, and was a destination for many Asian airlines in India.
Wolfgang Gersch created this nostalgic look back at a very interesting place.
Thanks! Last updated on 12/31/07.
FS2004 Singapore Paya Lebar Airport 1961 (WSAP). Paya Lebar
was the main airport at Singapore until Changi was opened in 1981. Wolfgang
Gersch has performed his magic once again to bring this old airport to life
- thanks!! Last updated on 12/18/07.
FS2004 1960 Karachi Airport (OPKC). Wolfgang Gersch has created
this wonderfully "period" airport, complete with semicircular terminal.
It was an important stopover on the route between Europe and Asia. Thanks! Last
updated on 12/13/07.
FS2004 1960 Oslo Fornebu Airport (ENFB). Wolfgang Gersch and
I have teamed up to produce this representation of Oslo's Fornebu airport, which
was closed in 1998. It also reduces the current Gardermoen international airport
to the small GA airport of the period. Enjoy! Last updated on 7/31/07.
FS2004 1960 and 1967 Liverpool Speke Airport (EGGP). Paul Derbyshire
has released his EGGP VFR Landmarks sceneries, one of which is this very nice
rendition of the old terminal complex, which is some distance from the default
airport. I have converted his scenery into a complete airport, for both 1960
(using the original runways) and 1967 (using the new runway, quite a taxi from
the terminal). You will also need to download Paul's original
file. Last modified on 1/25/07.
FS2004 1961 London Heathrow Airport (EGLL). Wolfgang Gersch
has outdone himself with this one! Probably the busiest airport in Europe was
just about busting at the seams in this era, before more terminals opened. Wolfgang
and I have also included some extra details, like signs and more detailed terminals.
Last updated on 1/16/07.
FS2004 1963 Berlin Schoenefeld Airport (EDDB). In what was
then East Germany (GDR), the main airport in Berlin was Schoenefeld. It is today
going to become Berlin's main airport in the unified Germany. Wolfgang Gersch
has created this nice job - thanks! Last updated on 3/7/07.
FS2004 1960 Rome Ciampino Airport (LIRA). Here's a beautiful
airport for you to fly into Italy with. Wolfgang Gersch has created this wonderful
version of Rome's airport before Fiumicino opened. Thanks! Last updated on 1/2/07.
FS2004 1960 Shannon Airport (EINN). Wolfgang Gersch has produced another
airport scenery for the other end of the typical early transatlantic flight.
Thanks again! Last updated on 11/28/06.

scenery for this airport so necessary to early transatlantic flight. Thanks!
Last updated on 10/12/06.
FS2004 1961 Munich Riem Airport (EDMR). Wolfgang Gersch and
Rolf-Uwe Hochmuth have produced this very nice scenery for this classic airport,
now closed. Thanks guys! Last updated on 9/22/06.

scenery to provide taxiways, buildings and details as they were around 1960
at the Entebbe (Uganda) airport. Thanks! Last updated on 10/31/06.
FS2002
California Airports in or about 1959. I've altered San Diego, Los
Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, and San Francisco airports to take them back to
the 50's and early 60's (from period photos), so you can fly your classic planes
in Classic Scenery! The image above is of the old LAX terminal area, before
they built the satellites in the early 60's. Static Classic airliners
are featured at the Lockheed plant in Burbank. Other airports are also
included (a total of 38!), although not based on period photos. Now improved
with smooth surfaces at SAC, OAK, and SAN. Enjoy! Last modified
on 9/23/02. AFCAD files and AI Traffic to match this scenery are
available below.
Patch to eliminate white areas at some airports. Only needed if you downloaded the latest version before 9/27/02. Last modified on 9/27/02.
Denver Stapleton Airport. Denver
Stapleton is completely missing in FS2002. I've created this scenery which
will open Stapleton for you, and eliminate the new DIA. All navaids are
present, including LOM's. Last modified on 9/23/02.
Navaids:
DEN VOR 117.00 (on field)
LOM Rwy 26L 362
LOM Rwy 17L 281
FS2000 California Airports in or about 1959. I've altered San Diego, Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, and San Francisco airports to take them back to the 50's and early 60's (from period photos), so you can fly your classic planes in Classic Scenery! Static Classic airliners are featured at the Lockheed plant in Burbank and the Douglas plant in Santa Monica. Other airports are also included (a total of 38!), although not based on period photos. Enjoy! Last modified on 7/16/00.
Denver Stapleton Airport. While
Stapleton is present in FS2000, it's shown as closed. I've created this

FS98 California Airports in or about 1959.
I've altered San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco airports to take
them back to the 50's and early 60's (from period photos), so you can fly your
classic planes in Classic Scenery! The image above is of the old LAX terminal
area, before they built the satellites in the early 60's (FS2002 version pictured).
Static Classic airliners are featured at several airports. Other
airports are also included (BFL, FAT, SCK, and CCR), although not based on period
photos. I also slightly improved Ken Little's SAC. Enjoy! Last
modified on 2/28/98.
New Dynamic Scenery - I've created new
dynamic propliners for many of the California airports using the new DynKit
- they are for FS98 only and slow the frame rate some, but if you have a 3D
card and a reasonable Pentium or better you have to try them! Also includes
an updated CA'59 scenery file for smooth airport surfaces. Last updated
on 6/20/98.
For those with FS98, Stapleton is shown as closed. This scenery by Ben West should re-open it for you!
Fort Worth, TX - Amon Carter Field ACF
Kristopher Crook has researched and built the airport that served Ft. Worth before DFW was opened; Amon Carter Field (also known as Greater Southwest). This was used by many airlines, competing with Dallas' Love Field. Kristopher has included static propliners, and even a B-36 out front!
