Microsoft left this area blank with just forests with Nooksack and Everson  completely missing from FSX. Only evidence of this area was Westwind Airport (7WA3) and Riverside Airstrip (4WA8). This scenery addon updates only Westwind Airport with some scenery objects around the airport and the land class around the airport has been updated to show many fields and houses in the area like in the real world. Towns added are Everson and Nooksack.

​

Westwind is a private airfield along the Nooksack River about 3 miles south of Everson. In real life, to fly into Westwind you have to call the owner of the field ahead of time, but since this is FSX, you obviously don't need to do that. However because the airfield is private, no parking spots or fuel were added. This also means that no AI can fly into Westwind. In real life, Westwind doesn't have a CTAF frequency, so you don't have to announce your intentions.
However I believe FSX assigned 122.900 as the CTAF frequency for Westwind, so in FSX it's not required to announce your intentions.

​

In real life, the area has about 2-3 private airstrips that aren't published on FAA charts. I only included one of these airstrips (about 2-3 miles north of Westwind and belongs to one of my friends) which I included many farms and houses as well as some forest around it like in real life. This small 800 foot airstrip has very tall trees on the north side, so this is a one-way-in-one-way out strip. To land here, any STOL aircraft such as the default Piper Cub or Trike are strongly prefered. The default Maule M7 is ok to land here as well, but I strongly recommend setting your fuel load about 30-40% so you are light enough to take off, as you need to climb immediatly after rotation to avoid trees and a house on the south side of the field. 

 

CREDITS:

Used Airport Design Editor from Scruffy Duck Software and only default scenery objects were used. This may require FSX Acceleration/Gold/Steam or FSX SP1/SP2.

I will be doing more Washington state airports in the future, but for now this is my first scenery project.

 

INSTALLATION:

If you have my previous Westwind Airport scenery, please delete it from the FSX Addon Scenery folder (FSX/Addon Scenery/Scenery). Unzip Westwind2.zip, copy both 7WA3_ADEX_JP and 7WA3_ADEX_CVX, and place these two files in your FSX Addon Scenery Folder (FSX\Addon Scenery\scenery). If it asks to overwrite my old Westwind scenery, select yes to overwrite. Enjoy and happy flying!

 

NOTE:

This scenery package belongs to PNW Simulations. You have my permission to edit my scenery, but only for your personal enjoyment. I will upload my scenery to PNW Simulations website and Flightsim.com. Only websites you can upload my scenery to are Avsim, Sim Outhouse, fs2000.org, or FlyAwaySimulations. If you upload to any of those websites, DO NOT change anything in the files.

 

DO NOT UPLOAD THIS SCENERY TO ANY OTHER WEBSITE.

 

This scenery has only been tested in FSX: Steam Edition. However this may work with previous FSX versions as well as P3D. This scenery could also possibly work in DTG's Flight Sim World, however I doubt it.
