Description

Located in Polk City, Florida, Fantasy of Flight is home to Kermit Weeks collection of vintage aircraft.

This scenery is based on the original FSX scenery by Vassilis “Dimus” Dimoulas, and has been “converted” to MSFS with his permission! Although I say converted, the models and their textures are the only thing that remains from the original scenery. The airport has been rebuilt from the ground up using MSFS native models, materials, and more!

Improvements have also been made to the original objects, improving performance by reducing drawcalls and adding LoDs. Some models have also seen some other improvements, including fixes and increased texture resolution by means of AI software.

Features

15cm/px aerial imagery.
3-Meter Digital Elevation Model.
Many custom models, including buildings and static aircraft.
Detailed placement of object libraries, including vegetation, fences, clutter, animals (static), and more!
Includes improved road and markings: Broadway Blvd SE (559), which runs along the entrance to FoF.
Improvements to many lakes and ponds in the surrounding area.

Requirements

This scenery requires the following library to function correctly:

Emerald Object Library (MSFS)

Supported Sim(s)
MSFS (2020)

Format: Zip
Standard deflate format.

File Size
384.4 MB (Compressed), 430 MB (Uncompressed)

Changelog

May 26, 2023 | v0.6.0

Added fence around the storage buildings.
Added FSS and CTAF frequencies.
Added groundcover vegetation to the ditch between FoF and the RV Resort.
Added lite rendition of the nearby Mid Florida RC Club (Marked with a POI – 28.171127, -81.793099).
Added parking lot for Amazon Warehouse for consistency between standard and TIN aerial imagery.
Fixed grass sticking through the boardwalk.
Fixed tarps clipping into the ground.
Fixed terraforming issues near the Static DC-3.
Fixed windsock orientation.
Improvements to Services.xml code.
Tweaked size of Dock Parking to discourage service vehicles from appearing on water.

November 15, 2022 | v0.5.1

Added water start next to dock.

July 17, 2022 | v0.5.0

Added a 3-Meter Digital Elevation Model for improved terrain definition.
Added Amazon Fulfillment Center building off RW04 approach.
Added tour Golf Cart on the main ramp.
Added small shed at the end of RW32.
Adjusted TIN exclude poly to follow natural borders and be less noticeable. Note: As of SU9, this photogrammetry exclude also removes the aerial textures that come with it. This causes an unavoidable hard-edge around the border.
Finished placement of seaplane ramp access road fencing.
Fixed centerline paint at parking lot entrance.
Improved 15cm Aerial Imagery: Recolored to match new default aerials in WU10, removed several footprints from the imagery, & improved edge blending in a few areas.
Improved Runway Markers: Cleaned up duplicate vertices, added face to underside of marker top (LOD0 only), new UV unwrap, reworked PBR materials, reworked and optimized LODs.
Refined multiple water polygons in the scenery for compatibility with WU10.
Removed a glitched water exclude that was also excluding trees.
Removed some stray trees near the storage buildings.
Removed some water polys that were no longer needed.
Replaced Tractors with Emerald Object Library model (“BeeKay-Pack1” in no longer required).
Replaced Windsock with Emerald Object Library model (“Windy Things” is no longer required).
Tweaked elevations of several models in the scenery to match new DEM.
Tweaked LOD trigger distances for: Runway Markers, Water Tower.

NOTAMs

You may experience the following:

Some models (such as runway warning signs) are not placed as accurately as they could be. This is because each model places 2 signs at once. This will be fixed in the future, but requires a complete overhaul of the model.
If using Photogrammetry with this scenery, there will be some slight elevation differences that may cause certain objects to float, as well as other cosmetic issues. There is also a know issue where the runways may have elevated seams running across them that could wreck your aircraft. This is a side-effect of the new “precision” terraforming system. Photogrammetry elevations are not handled the same way as standard elevations and thus cause issues which will need to be solved by Asobo. Until then, I highly recommend turning off Photogrammetry when flying out of FoF!
The airport name currently displays as the old designation. This has been corrected in the scenery, however MSFS does not update this information for existing airports at the moment.

FAQs

Pink ground textures when using the “4 Seasons Pack” addon.

If you experience pink ground textures in the scenery and have Bijan’s “4 Seasons Pack” installed, please make sure that it is updated to the latest version!

Older versions referenced a default material used in FoF which caused a conflict.
