Looking for period Edwards AFB scenery

[Paul K]

Having recently watched 'The Right Stuff' again, and with some new bare-metal paints coming for the XB-70, I've gone into full Hawaiian shirt-wearing hamburger-munching Budweiser-quaffing cigar-chomping mode, and need a good Edwards Airforce Base scenery...but one that dates it in the 1950s and 60s.

Dennis Waggoner's one is great, but it has new-fangled things like the B2, F-15s and JSFs, so its a bit too modern

Any help y'all can provide will be mighty 'preciated.

I've been looking for something like that for ages... so if you find something... do let me know

John, the only thing I've found is the bar that Yeager and friends frequented in 'The Right Stuff'...the one that eventually burned down.

I reckon Edwards in the late 40s, 50s and 60s would provide some great subject matter for your screenshot art.

Thanks for the heads-up on the bar!

As for the screenshot thought... that's a fab idea... here's hoping

One of most fab sceneries that comes with FSX/Acceleration is Edwards AFB. Not exactly the period you're looking for but not that modern neither. Just some ol' Nasa stuff like F-16's,B-52, and a 747 loading up the Space Shuttle. Sure is the most comprehensive Edwards for FS i've ever seen.

That actually looks realistic for default MS,Jan and how did you manage to get it a week ahead of the rest of us in Europe!! :flying:

[John]

That's got to be some of the most relistic default (sorta) scenery that I've seen!

Kind regards

That looks terrific. Unfortunately ( or luckily, depending on your point of view ) I have FS9. :-(

I have a version of Paul Waggoner's Edwards that has had all of the static aircraft removed except the Space Shuttle..... If you want it I'd be happy to zip it up and e-mail it to you. PM me if you are interested.

Check the Dennis Waggoner add-ons at Avsim. I believe there is one version and a patch. I think the patch removes the static aircraft. I know there are BGL's for it with and without as my install is without the aircraft.
