65S Boundary County / Bonners Ferry (X-Plane)

I had a viewer request to fly into Bonners Ferry, located in far Northern Idaho, nearly to the Canada border. Finding the default XP11 scenery lacking, I decided to design some. You may download it here at X-Plane.org. It’s a very pleasant strip, overlooking the town of Bonners Ferry and the Kootenai river from its plateau setting. From the Boundary County web page:

The Boundary County Airport lies two miles northeast of Bonners Ferry, Idaho, providing a scenic destination spot or resting point for all flyers. Some of the services available at the airport include overnight hangars for corporate aircraft, courtesy/rental car, pilot’s lounge and supplies, flight instruction and airframe and power plant repair and maintenance and one restaurant within walking distance; the Three Mile Cafe.

ORBX makes a fantastic version of this field for FSX/P3D, and this is no where near that level of quality. Still, I took a while on this, and like it very much. I hope you do, too.

To use this scenery you will need these libraries:

Thanks for looking and happy flying.

      They are available in the default X-Plane library. I think they are listed as “Characters.”

    How did you get the taxi way dark pavement? On my first scenery development, the taxi way is a light color.

      I put a pavement texture over the top of the standard taxiway.
