Looks really nice, I've actually been by this airport in real life, looking forward to seeing what the scenery looks like. Only have to wait 35 more minutes for the D/L to finish using my high speed connection......

Just installed (use of the 32 bits textures) and tested with a Dash 7 short flight ...
Very nice and FPS friendly
Don't forget to taste the Saratoga Spring Water ...

Very, very nice. Thanks for the heads up Mike.
The optional textures really helped me out.

My thanks to Ed Cox for a magnificent freeware
scenery.

At first glance, the airport isn't much, really.
You might wonder where that whopping 110MB of textures went, even...

Then you start looking a little more closely













It's hard to believe this is a freeware FS2004 scenery.
Edgeneer knows a thing or two about scenery design, I'd say... thanks for producing this gem!
