    Randolph Air Force Base

    This is John Stinstroms excellent rendition of this south Texas Pilot Training base for FS9. My part in this is to simply convert it to work in FSX and P3D. I have emailed John for permission to upload once it's done. Still some small stuff to complete.

    A great spot to park a BT-13, AT-6, PT-13, AT-9, training B-17s or B-24s, AT-11, or any other AF trainer, prop or jet. Looking forward to this one very much.

    That would be great, Ed! I like the way the base was designed. Interesting. Re: John Stinstrom; I tried several times to get in touch with him over the years, and was never successful. Pete

    Good to know Pete. I'll give it some time, unless someone else happens to have a better way to contact him. If I get no answer within the week I'll make sure his original readme's are included along with information on this current version and get it uploaded.

    Great to see the scenery getting converted for FSX/P3D. Another base I've been to and my MAIW trainers need a good home.

    Ed, John was, I think, involved with some of MAIW projects a couple years ago, so maybe someone on their forums may know how to contact him. Pete

    Anything come of this base? Would love to have it in my sim.

    Oh, boy! That is a great collaboration.

    I spent about a month there for KC-97 crew training back in "the dark ages". Lovely place for flying although we had no GPS, no ILS, no VOR, etc.

    I went on to other projects while trying to get in touch with John to get proper permission to release his scenery. I failed with several email addresses and attempted to contact him through MAIW but with no success thus far. I will give this last attempt a day to work and then I plan on giving John his due credit for the marvelous job and upload it to the Warbirds library.

    Well Ed, indeed you tried. I (we) look forward to your release! NC

    Well, the consensus at MAIW is that John left the hobby and no one has had contact with him in quite a few years. I will get the scenery uploaded soon.

    I was in mid-download of your scenery, and then read it was not V5 compatible. Rats! Oh well; thanks for your work anyway, Ed! Pete

    Yea, sorry Pete. I stopped updating P3D after V4.5. If I move up it will be with FS2020 and that's only if it can run on my current system.

    IRIS Beechcraft T6 Texan II

    This will be a perfect download to go along with the JPPTS Texan II's from IRIS PRO.

    Thanks Ed. This one is beautifully done and your efforts to convert it to FSX are much appreciated. Blends extremely well with stock terrain.

    Ed, another beautiful project. I realize John created it, but you put it into the hands of us FSXers that can enjoy his creation even more so. Thank you again for a terrific job. Having worked there in the 80's brings back many grand memories.. Many kudos..........Terry
