Phenick Field

Phenick Field

Phenick Field is located nearby Newark, Ohio. Nowadays it doesn't exist anymore but it provides a nice environment for flights in the area, lovely surrounded by fields and forests. This project is inspired by Golden Age Simulations (http://www.goldenagesimulations.com/) desire to partner with an experienced designer to bring the „Golden Age" to Microsoft's Flight Simulator. Therefore we started by recreating Bill Lyon's classic Phenick Field. We added plenty of eyecandies from that time, for example a 1934 Ford Model B pick-up.
