To my surprise the truck didn't stop and went straight through the aircraft. A Baggage truck and a few carts was approaching me on the right side using the road I was blocking. There are hundreds of ground routes for all of the ground vehicles and people, so it was time to put them to the test. Now facing out toward the runway and my taxi route I was just blocking the small road which the ground vehicles use. The tire marks have to be my favorite part of the ground textures, when I looked back or to the side it looked as though I actually left the tire marks myself!
I have never taxied a real 732 away from a gate in Fort Lauderdale however the ground textures are very high resolution and look realistic. Pushing back from the gate and turning looked fantastic as the gate slowly got further away, now back from the gate and turned around it would be impossible not to pick up on the ground textures. So then I decided to go flying, taking off for a short flight. Even though I was looking straight ahead at the terminal I could see a pilot undergoing a walk around inspection in the gate to my right! And on the left in the corner of my cockpit window I could see an aircraft to my left with a baggage cart driving around it and ground crew walking beside it! I was not expecting any of that! Although the people walk a bit weird you can still get the impression, and feel the immersion. Before looking around at the scenery I was startled to see the shear volume of traffic maneuvering around the airport. Normally I look outside the cockpit window and browse around to see what's out there but at KFLL it felt different. The first time I loaded up KFLL I was parked in a 732 at the default parking gate. This way I still have the dsf however x-plane does not recognize it. The only thing that startled me was the word 'delete' I don't like deleting x-plane directory files so instead I renamed it, I added a - between the 8 and 1. Step 2 is normal for scenery installations and step 1 is explained clearly. I can't say that the steps are confusing because they are not. However you have to complete these two steps for installation.ġ- Go to x-plane/Custom scenery/Global Airports/Earth nav data/+20-090 and rename or delete the file +26-081.dsfĢ- Place KFLL – Fort Lauderdale inside x-plane/custom scenery No, there wasn't an installer and yes, you drop the folder like normal into custom scenery. Installing the scenery was simple but not ordinary. Comparing this scenery to some of his others you can clearly tell he has come a long way now! Yes, he is known for his sceneries but he doesn't have a website? Or a branded logo? However he sure has airport development skills. However KFLL has taken a massive leap into the latest most up to date scenery category. So how does the real Fort Lauderdale compare to Butnaru's rendition in X-Plane?īutnaru is known for his work within scenery development around the community, publishing KLGA - La Guardia, KORD - Chicago O'Hare and even KMIA Miami which is close by. With expansion in growth, popularity and buildings it's now known as Fort Lauderdale, this airport serves millions of the general public each year.
On the 1st of May 1929 the US Navy stationed base there (start of WWII), then in 1946 when it was transferred to county control it became: Broward County International Airport. Another bonus is that KFLL is located not too far from TNCM, another great place to fly! So the history behind KFLL. If you enjoy long haul flights to or around America then Fort Lauderdale has to be in your scenery collection.
So what makes Fort Lauderdale special?Īpart from the fact the others are default scenery! Fort Lauderdale is one of the closest to the Florida shoreline, and has become and intercontinental gateway. Situated in Florida it's surrounded by many other airports, some bigger some smaller. Scenery Review : Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International by Butnaruįort Lauderdale ( ICAO: KFLL, IATA: FLL) is Butnaru's latest scenery to be released for X-Plane 10, and no, this is no ordinary scenery! Many new features have been added in this scenery package which make it unique above the rest.
