It's in the thread you asked for the first time. Might have missed it.

Thanks newguy! I looked and looked and looked for the earlier thread, but couldn't find it. Was just looking in the wrong place, I guess. Beantown looks pretty good. 9B1 has a huge exclude (bigger than in FS9 or reall life), but I guess I can fix that eventually.

thanks again for the original pictures and for replying to this thread.

No problem, and you are welcome. Glad I could provide these for you. If you want more let me know.

I'd appreciate it, Chris, if you could tell me more about that exclude and what I need to do to correct it.

Thanks,

Robert

Robert,
I don't know off hand how to do this, but I know it can be done in FS9. I'm sure there will be a way to accomplish this in FSX. If the final version has that oversized exclude, I will do the homework to fix it, but it might take a while (given my life, months!).
A good site with tutoriials on remaking airports in FS9 is "Scruffyduck", available here:

take care,
Chris

Just looked at KBOS in FSX. Much nicer airport, but I didn't see the new Zakim Bridge. Here's my clunky version that I built for FS9. (Of course when I installed Ultimate Terrain, the bridge was no longer over the water. I should move it, huh?)

I also hope the new Boston includes the rainbow painted LP gas tank in Dorchester. These two landmarks let you know you're home when arriving in Boston airspace while riding in the (ugh) coach seats of some big iron.

isn't that it?

Nice job on the Zakim/Bunker Hill Bridge, BB.

I just wish they'd put Castle Island in the picture, a true landmark to all aviators and boaters who enter Boston airspace or harbor.

Nope. That appears to be the Tobin Bridge that crosses the Mystic River.

The Zakim is a brand new (and very pretty) cable span bridge that crosses the Charles River right near the BankNorth Garden (pronounced Gah'-din around here) where the Boston Celtics and Bruins play. Wonder if that's there?
