This scenery attempts to recreate Jack Brown's Seaplane Base since it isn't in the game. Brown's Seaplane Base is a well known location for seaplane training. I attempted to place similar looking buildings to the real life ones. I also added some objects to bring the area to life a little more.
From Wikipedia: Jack Browns Seaplane Base (FAA LID: F57) is a public-use seaplane base located 3 nautical miles (5.56 km) northwest of the central business district of Winter Haven in Polk County, Florida, United States. It is located on the northeast shore of Lake Jessie, which is part of the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes. The privately owned seaplane base is located adjacent to Winter Haven's Gilbert Airport and connected to it by an asphalt taxiway.
Jack Browns Seaplane Base covers an area of 8 acres (3.2 ha) at an elevation of 140 feet (42.7 m) above mean sea level. It has one water runway: 1/19 is 3,600 by 2,200 feet (1,097 x 670.6 m).
For the 12-month period ending November 17, 2009, the airport had 10,000 general aviation aircraft operations, an average of 27 per day. At that time there were 5 aircraft based at this airport: 80% single-engine and 20% multi-engine.
The package uses multiple libraries that need to be installed alongside this scenery to get the full experience. These include:
- JHScenery Master Library - https://flightsim.to/file/8157/jhscenery-master-library
- Dave's 3D People Library - https://flightsim.to/file/5452/dave-s-3d-people-library
- Dave's Crooked Library - https://flightsim.to/file/4696/dave-s-crooked-library
- Mikea.at - AssetPack - https://flightsim.to/file/1923/mikea-at-assetpack
- Dave's Seaplane base object library - https://flightsim.to/file/5806/fisherman-dave-s-seaplane-base-object-library
To install, just extract the zipped file and place the airport-f57-... file into your community folder.
One issue I can't seem to fix is the static aircraft floating above the water. I'll continue to work on this and see if I can fix it. It might just be a limitation of the SDK since there aren't many seaplane bases in the game. I would also like to add AI parked aircraft, but those aircraft need to be limited to amphibious airplanes. Unfortunately, the SDK doesn't seem to currently support limiting the type of AI airplane spawned in a parking space.
