FlightSim.Com Reviews: Aspen 98 Scenery

Aspen 98

By Dan Vanevenhoven (18 June 1999)

illiam Behnke has improved a scenery that didn't need to be improved. This is a truly fabulous scenery.

INSTALLATION

This scenery installs for the most part very easily, as do most sceneries; however there are a few twists in that there are some files that must go in the FS default scenery folder. What I did was just rename the default files temporarily (this is just for the winter effect).

LOTS OF INFO

There are four airports included in this scenery: Aspen-Pitkin Airport, Lake County Airport, Eagle County Regional Airport and Glenwood Springs Municipal Airport. William Behnke has also included a lot of reference information including information right out of the IAP (instrument approach procedures) manuals, including a map for missed approach, as you don't want to hit a mountain after missing an instrument landing.

REVIEW

As you can see in the screenshots there is now even more attention to detail in this version of Aspen scenery. There is a more true to life looking tower, an animated radar tower and a very detailed fuel area.

And let us not forget winter at Aspen where everything is white. Eagle County Regional is also very well done a with tower, radar and fuel area. All have very accurate instrument approach information. The only thing that might make this scenery better would be the addition of static aircraft. The previous version hit 4000+ downloads and I'm sure the new version will do that or better. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give this scenery a 8.
