Borrego Valley Airport for MSFS Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (L08)

Encore une scène que je me suis amusé à créer pour Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Par défaut, Borrego est mal traitée par le moteur d'intelligence articiel qui tente d'identifier les bâtiments ;) Avec l'outil intégré Scenery Editor, c'est un peu comme faire du modélisme en plaçant à la souris des objets de la librairie. A côté de la construction, il y a aussi toute la partie recherche (merci Internet) pour savoir à quoi ressemble tel ou tel bâtiment, s'il y a un panneau spécifique ici ou là... et tenter de le re-créer avec mes modestes compétences. J'utilise BLENDER pour faire des panneaux et appliquer des textures faites avec GIMP. Et quand je suis fainéant, je fais des bitmaps avec Powerpoint (déformation professionnelle) à la vitesse de la lumière.

Author's note

As for all of my MSFS mod, this small scenery is made from a pilot-eyes perspective. In real, I'm a Plus One Flyers member and mostly fly from Montgomery Field (KMYF). I'm real PPL, but a rookie amateur scenery developer: this mod is made with 99% of MSFS default objects library and feature massive number of details. The scenery is inspired by aerial views from Bing and Google maps. It's a mix between the satellite imagery displayed from MSFS and more accurate data found on Internet. Unfortunately, there's no taxiway information nor in Jeppesen, FAA or Foreflight data. I did my best based on online video and online pictures. Hundreds of objects have been added to the default scenery to make in more live and bring a touch of an active area.

Borrego? The place-to-be for aerobatics

The International Aerobatic Club (IAC) has a practice and competition area just north of the airport (see white ground markings). Aerobatic pilots from California and the southwest US regularly use it for practice and major competitive events; Two annual competitions are sponsored by the San Diego Aerobatic Club, in April and October. Jump into your CAP 10 or Pitts!
