    Description

    KCAK - Akron-Canton Regional Airport Version 3.0

    KCAK is a prime regional airport in eastern Ohio. The airport has undergone a $34 million improvement project over the pass couple of years.

    PLEASE READ: This airport has two packages! mpw-kcakbldg (buildings, duh) and kcak-akron-canton-rgnl (airport infrastructure)

    This version (3.0) has added many improved textures and lighting. I have made many custom trees and have added many of them to the scene with a lot more planned. Levels of Details (LODs) are now used.

    The MaterialLib and ModelLib folders are not uniquely named for this airport and will not longer interfere with other scenery packages.

    AVFlight FBO and the Timken hangar buildings have been added. I am in the process of constructing many more.

    Navigation aids have been tested and are functioning properly.

    I have not constructed the interior of the terminal building yet. I feel that it more important to get the buildings in place, but I am working on interiors.

    Version 2.0

    McKinley Air and US Customs

    Renamed materialLib and modelLib folders

    Version 1.2

    New covered parking "tents"

    some parking lot ground textures

    parked cars

    Version (1.1)

    Refined some building textures

    Corrected locations of Jetways (hope they show up....LOL....since that has been an issue with many airports)

    A little more work on the terminal....odds and ends.

    Added the lightstands at gates

    Added some missing edge lighting.

    Future Versions

    More detailed terminal building

    New coverage parking garage

    Better ground texturing

    Air Museum and aircraft static models

    More lighting

    Installation:

    Extract the KCAK3.zip file and replace  the mpw-kcakbldg folder AND the kcak-akron-canton-rgnl folder into your Community Folder

    Again, thank you for downloading my scenery and happy flying!

    This is my "home" airport as I work towards my PPL. This works great in 2024 even though it is not listed as compatible. It provides nice visual references for pattern work and it doesn't eat up VRAM like the pay ware alternative. Thank you.

    Awesome! Thank you!

    needed for 2024 and works fine since buildings and spawn points are on roofs in the default

    Looks awesome man! Any plans to add more detail and/or CH47 Chinooks as static elements for the Ohio National Guard section of the airport?

    about 2 years ago

    I do have plans. I have some other projects going on right now though.

    Hope this is soon. You have updated a lot of other airports... Can you please incorporate the geodata as well... What is current is far from accurate.

    I appear to be having issues with some of the building textures. Am I missing something?

    Has to be a conflict with another scenery package. I have checked my installation and all seems right on my end.

    about 2 years ago

    Odd. Must've been a corrupted file. I reinstalled the scenery and it seemed to work fine after that.

    Any chance this will be updated for Gates 01 and 02 now with jetways?

    Did you get a chance to fix the ModeLib?

    over 4 years ago

    I am currently working on Version 2.0...but yes, I did fix that but have not uploaded it yet....will be on V2.....soon.

    Ok, thank you. Used to live in Pittsburgh and flew to Akron in real life in C-172

    Hey Areographer, I was having issues with CTD with this addon, and I think I did figure out the cause. Your modellib.bgl file needs to be renamed and is causing conflicts. You can read about the issue here: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/scenery-creators-please-move-or-rename-your-modellib-bgl/307563

    over 4 years ago

    Thanks. I know about the ModelLib and it will be renamed at a future version.

    Finally some Ohio airports getting some love! Hopkins on the map and now Akron Canton... Thanks for doing this local gem. At some point Fulton and the airdock need help too!.. ;)

    My pleasure! Hope you enjoy. My goal is to get to as many Ohio airports as possible. Ohio, the birthplace of aviation, has always been neglected in flight simulators. Glad I could help!
