Since they have made the FSE Editor that you can upload your various FSE designs to. It makes a world of difference compared to the few images you had to work with before they patched it since there are some talented scenery design artists out there. Granted they create the items, i just manipulate and place them.

Here is what I have done to a blank bush area called CEB3 - Colville Lake, Northern Territory, Canada, but warning, its cold there now and the main influx of pilots wont occur until summer when it warms up when the fishing is good.

The mom and pop shop. There is a neon open sign in the window that says closed when its dawn and night.
Also a concession stand to the left that you cant see for the summer guests. Recently they built some hangers for use when you are staying a bit longer than a day or two for an added fee, or some covered parking that is only an additional $5 a night.

The Starlight Starbright "Hotel", which is a makeshift mobile home. You can rent the lake cabins here for some good R & R at this place. In summer when its busy the Vacancy sign in the window will say NO Vacancy

Have to get your payment in early to get one of the cabins.

Just another shot. There is a Ranger's Watchtower in the distance you cant see either. Since its in God's country, they have to be frugal with hiring fire patrols.

The Starlight Starbright cabins

There is also a new neighborhood fairly close with some small affordable housing, that isnt pictured, but overall, its now a great place to visit.

Methinks I will have to come back here when I can stay longer.

So in essence, this is just scenery I created using Lago's FSE, and the talent that many designers have given to the FSE community.

I hate bare runway strips! Cheesy

As you can see I like this particular scenery and editing and making it SaVas-style Cheesy

This is now the airport for Rustic Wilderness, AK. A befitting name methinks

Dusk

Morning

The Bessies in the pen in the backyard

The hangers and fueling station. Oddly enough this airport has a big cement runway and I was able to land and takeoff the Citation X without issue

Close up of the detail, the outhouse, the soda machines

So granted these are shots without aircraft, but everyone knows I am a scenery junkie. Hope others are as well Cheesy

Very nice, but how much of a beating do the FPS take?

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Ozzy, it doesnt really hit my FPS hard at all, even with a Citation X Deluxe buzzing around. It might take a half second to load but other than that its peachy

There is definitely a lot of detail. The buildings are in the FSE downloadables on the lago site. Cant remember the names of the files, as I spent a while downloading various items from 100 pages of stuff. it took about 6 to 8 hours to complete the Rustic Wilderness scenery that I did including sounds, and little misc gems but was a fun way to take a break throughout the day while I fill out resumes.
