    No fuel here apparently, despite the airport having it IRL.

    I love flying in and out of here. I do keep hitting a tree or something hanging out onto the taxiway.

    Was taxiing to Runway 32 from the apron and it said the plane hit something. Reloaded and tried taxiing to 32 again from the apron and it said I hit an object again. Might want to look over the taxiway to 32.

    Nice! I recently did a flight out of there IRL in a Foxbat that was parked exactly where you have the Cessna in the shot with the stone entrance sign near RWY 14. So much better with the overhang, fuel station, FBO, etc.

    Thanks for re-visiting this ... but the green/white beacon light is still hovering in mid-air. Is my scenery details slider not up high enough to show support mast?

    Great plug-in only one problem. Need to make sure takeoff assistance is off or you will have no control of throttles and flaps till above about 300 feet AGL.

    I believe we DMed a bit about this issue, this has been fixed in the more recent versions :)

    Just added your latest update (1.3.3) to your P52 Cottonwood airport... Wow! What a great job you've done here. I live in Prescott, AZ, which is just west of Cottonwood across the Mingus Mt range. My home airport is KPRC, Love Field, located on the north end of Prescott. I fly from Prescott to Cottonwood and back at least twice a week. It would be fantastic if you could apply your design skills to make the default KPRC come to life and improve it's current depiction. (I think last time for a custom KPRC/Prescott mod was in FS9.) Anyhow, take a look and see what you think. Thanks so much for your contributions to MFS2020!!

    Thank you for this little gem close to the famous Sedona. Perfect idea for a short hop. Have you notice this double windsock (one pointing to the other and obviously one is a fake wind indicator) ? See this pic: https://i.imgur.com/hBUK0na.jpg

    I did not notice this! It looks like this might have been added recently, I will get the duplicate one removed, thanks for letting me know!

    over 5 years ago

    You're welcome. But let me know if it's not a mistake on my side!

    Nope, wasn't just you! I just uploaded a new version that corrects for the duplicate windsocks. It looks like the issue was Microsoft's detection finally recognized the windsock there.

    Noticed a blinking beacon light above one of the hangars, can you fix that ??

    over 5 years ago

    Like your others amazing work again, can you please add the taxi ribbon though. And maybe add some static aircraft ?
