Update 2
This update contains a variety of new features which will enhance your
enjoyment of the Marine Division and Baltimore Municipal Airport. You must
have installed the original Marine Division release and Update 1 for any of
the following to be useful. Click the link above for download and
installation instructions for these earlier releases.
KBMA Airport Improvements:
- Runway and Taxiway signs readable from the pilot's side of the
cockpit when taxiing (if you have the seat raised four notches) day and
night. In addition an aircraft-related industry has been added to the
concrete pad next to Taxiway B.
- Complete docking and passenger facilities for float or seaplanes in
Colgate Creek. The bulging water and bumps on the taxiway out of the
creek have been eliminated.
Beacons on Buoys:
- All of the buoys for taxiing to water runways have now been lighted
with appropriate colored lights at Dusk, Night, and Dawn and are off
during the Day.
KBMS (Baltimore Municipal Seabase):
- Runways and Taxiways have been added to the Marine side of the
airport (invisible to the pilot, but not to ATC or AI). ATC
communications appropriate for Float and Seaplane use have been
integrated with that of KBMA so that both operate simultaneously. If you
are starting in the water or on land, ATC will give you the proper taxi
directions, runway assignments, and takeoff or landing clearances.
In addition, three Boeing B314 AI aircraft (seaplanes) are provided that
take off and land at different intervals, taxi and park correctly, and can
be listened to when they are talking to tower and ground.
Night Over Water:
- The flight plans of the B314 AI aircraft at KBMS (above) have been
modified so that the "Dixie Clipper (PanAm)" departs KBMA and flies the
Great Circle route to Southampton, England and returns. Airports and
basic scenery for all of the stops along the route are provided also.
Red Buoy:
- Al Gay has provided a little red buoy that is placed in Colgate
Creek as an Aid to Navigation.
You will find other important information in the Readme file included in
the Update 2 download.
If you have any questions, suggestions or problems with this Update 2, or
with the Marine Division, please contact Mike White at mm.white@comcast.net.
