Osage Park
Osage Park in Danville, California — the suburban park where the original author of this simulator used to fly his RC aircraft.
About
Osage Park is a real public park in Danville, California, in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. The park serves the local community with playing fields, walking paths, and the kind of open green space that has historically welcomed casual RC flying alongside conventional recreational use. It holds a particular place in the history of this simulator — Osage Park is the field where the author of the original ClearView RC simulator used to fly his aircraft, and that personal connection put the location among the very first landscapes built into the simulator.
The Osage Park scene captures the suburban California park aesthetic — open lawn fringed by trees and fenced ballfields, low residential roofs visible in the middle distance, and the kind of midweight grass surface that suits a wide range of RC airframes. The "Park" environment of the field — open enough for sport flying but not the controlled airspace of a dedicated club field — reflects the casual, after-work rhythm of suburban California RC flying that defined the author's own flying experience.
In the simulator
A friendly, accessible flying environment well suited to electric foam trainers, sport-aerobatic foamies, and small park flyers. The relatively confined visual horizon (residential trees and structures) makes the location best for slower aircraft where the pilot can keep visual orientation easily. The Osage Park Lake variant in the Variety Flying Fields pack and the Osage Park Winter HD variant in the Unique Flying Fields pack offer the same location in different seasonal and lighting conditions.
