Some things in life never get boring, and we are certain you will agree with us that the 'Georender' sceneries devised and designed by Richard Goldstein, are among them. Depicting actual airfields and airstrips in Washington State, USA, these little gems bring reality to your flight simulator and provide and immersion not many other add-ons can achieve.
Richard's latest title is no exception to the 'tradition' and now comes complete with sounds and movement again ! Since these are quiet little places most of the movement is in the shrubs and forest, unseen to the pilot, but that's where the sounds come in. Just turn off your engine, open the cockpit and sit there for a while, listening to your flight simulator landscape come alive !

Upon purchase you will get several things, really.

First and foremost a piece of dead and boring software…. some bits and bytes that you cannot see without tinkering with your files.

But…… this is what never stops amazing us; how can this electronic wizardry turn our computers into something that makes us believe we are somewhere else, turn our monitors into a window on the world, our – and your ! - virtual FS world!? And make our virtual world seem so real at certain times! When it doesn’t to you, then you will want to install and start this software addition. You will see what we mean!

Here is what Lake Wenatchee and Skykomish is all about:

• You have purchased an addition for Microsoft’s Flight Simulator 2004; A Century of Flight™ that will turn Lake Wenatchee State airstrip from a dull bit of default terrain into a wonderful, but rather serene bit of Washington State forest and surrounding mountains.

•  You have purchased the airstrip (Lake Wenatchee Airport – 27W), with its buildings meticulously reproduced, down to the lady’s ‘restroom’ in a corner of the field.

• You have also purchased another such airfield just some 30 miles away, Skykomish State (S88) which is reproduced with the same eye for detail.

• We will tell you where to find all this… AND provide some information on the real world area too.

• And…… The sounds and movements are BACK !! We have secured the invaluable help of Maurizio Gavioli and Oliver Pabst who helped make Georender’s Emma Field such a success.

• The sounds are now provided by Mike ‘Doc’ Apsey, who made them available to us for free !

• And the aircraft you see flying around and performing touch and goes are provided again by Peter McLeland.

• But most of all you have acquired a wonderful rendition of how the area really looks as seen from the air AND on the ground, based upon aerial photographs that were subsequently hand-painted for all four seasons, day and night !! With the specific Richard Goldstein ‘touch’ that makes you ‘experience’ the field much more than just ‘see’ it! That, dear flight simulator pilots and customers, is what makes the Richard ‘Georender’ Goldstein products so special and ‘real’.

You will really acquired a ‘mood’, an atmosphere, something you can use to fuel your fantasy and allow you to imagine the ‘feel’ of small rural airstrips with all their seasonal changes and looks – on your PC. Turn down your office lights, start your engines and imagine you take a trip to Lake Wenatchee. To see the Lake Wenatchee, the sailing boats, the rolling hills and high mountains and the breathtaking sunrises and sunsets over the distant mountains. Go and visit Lake Wenatchee Airport and Skykomish and feel like you are really there !
