Thank you Mike for the reply.
I thought about this too, before I red this, and installed the Classic Scenery Libraries V4.
I had the previous version installed, but seems to be too outdated.
Question, since I have all the old versions of CC installed, can I simply run the new installers and overwrite the old libraries without remove them before?
Cheers Bernie

Hi,
yes you can overwrite the existing library files.
Cheers Wolfgang

They have October 1957 on timetable images, I could do that if you want.

Been flying in and out of Pac Northwest as of late, and really enjoying the scenery. Especially the gas station in seattle with the wing shaped roof, I wish that kind of architecture stilled existed today. Btw, did an upgrade to latest version of directX. What a difference. Thanks for the hard work, Allen

Hi Jason,
That would be fine, send it along when you get it coded. I might need an update of the KCLS AFCAD if a DC-3 doesn't fit at the parking spot.

I enjoy particularly KBFI Boeing Field. But what exactly was the role of Renton facilities at that time? Would appreciate some further informations.

Hi,
Renton (which is *not* the facility at Boeing Field) was used to build the 707, 727, and 737 aircraft, and is still producing 737s today. The facility at Boeing Field is known as Plant 2. It produced B-17s during WWII, as well as B-50s after the war. It also seems to have been the "prototype plant ", with the early production of the C-97, B-47, and the B-52 built there, along with the 737 prototypes. In our era it was used as a flight testing center, and aircraft were accepted by the airlines here.
Hope this helps,

Thanks for your ample reply. So it wouldn't be completely wrong to have placed some blank static B-707 at Renton.

Boeing Field served as a kind of "Dealer delivery and customer prep" area for Boeing. This is the same thing that exists at every car dealership. When you order a car, and its delivered from the factory, or you buy one that's been sitting on the lot, it is not just handed to you with the keys and off you go. There is much work to do, before it can be released to the customer. And this is where you give your final "OK" and acceptance on the car.
This was the purpose at Boeing Field. Those 707s lined up there are all finished from the Renton plant, and are waiting for the airline acceptance people's inspection, and acceptance flights. If anything is wrong, or was forgotten to get installed, this is where it is corrected. Once it flies away from Boeing Field, its all yours baby because it is at Boeing Field where the airline and Boeing sign the release papers and then Boeing is basically off the hook!
Boeing Field could do everything from an engine swap, to install galleys and lavatories. There were seats, carpet, all types of cosmetic things that could be, and often were, swapped out. Maybe a seat didn't have the stitching just right - swap it out with a new one. Or the right brand of tires were not put on - just swap them out.
The one thing it could not do was structural modification.
So think of Boeing Field as your "dealership new car prep and customer delivery" area!
Oh.......and as far as Renton goes with AI sitting around unpainted, I think not. I grew up in Long Beach four miles from the Douglas plant which I drove by quite often. Never once was any aircraft sitting outside unpainted. They were always sitting outside fully painted with engines on, and had work stands around them. Engines were always covered. And this was in sunny Southern California, so I don't think Boeing would have put any unpainted aircraft out into the cold, wet salty Seattle air for it to corrode and oxidize.

Hi,
At the least you will need to update the traffic file (#9), and to see the 367-80 you will need to update file #8.
