The first concrete runway was built in 1943 between Eichistrasse and Lake Alpnach. It had a length of 875 meters (2,871 ft). Furthermore, eight type U-43 aircraft shelters and bunkers for command and ammunition were built.
As part of the Swiss Reduitstrategie in 1952, aircraft caverns were built into the rock of the adjacent Mueterschwanderberg Mountain. The former Mueterschwanderberg artillery fortress was also built into the mountain, but on the Nidwalden. In 1960, the cavern facility was officially handed over to the Directorate of Military airfields. Beginning in 1958, de Havilland DH-112 Venom jets operated from Alpnach. In 1973, they changed to the Hawker Hunter and in 1979 there was a further change to the F-5 "Tiger". Because of the Army XXI reforms, flight operations from the caverns were terminated. On 20 January 1964, the Army helicopter base opened at Alpnach.
Today, Alpnach Air Base is the main logistical base of the helicopters of the Swiss Air Force. Standard helicopter types used at Air Base Alpnach are the Aérospatiale Super Puma, Eurocopter AS532UL Cougar Mk1 and Eurocopter EC 635.

I assumed it wasn't an easy fix which is why I made the new request in the first place.
But anyways, thanks for your reply and thanks for your work on all your sceneries.

This is a library issue, so you need to download the recommended library files again and place them in the Community folder. Tag21

There are 17 parking slots for helicopter. And on the side you placed a pc-12, there are only one parking in a segment. There are never 2 helicopters behind each other.
The markings in this area isnt correct, you should do it like the site on parking slot 1-7 .
The Super Pumas usually taxi to the outer taxiline (watched from the hangars) and then taking off.
There is also a Hot refueling on the second runway.
The street who cross the main runway in direction restaurant alouette has barriers.
I know you cant make an good enough rendition of the airfield, because its military restricted area.

I note three anomalies without knowing if they are related to your scene:
- windsock embedded in hangar at threshold 01
- two buried hangars.

A good start to a big project... the parking layout looks a little bit different in real: https://s.geo.admin.ch/981dba9cce

Really great work, Tag21, thank you. A huge advantage of your scenery is the correction of Mueterschwandenberg which showed a crazy sink in the middle before, beautiful now.
Unfortunately, on my system some buildings on the airport are missing (but the pics on your flightsim.to page show them). Therefore, I checked your list of required files and found out that I do not have UK2000 Common Scenery, probably the reason for? Tried to find it but was not successful (shame on me ;-) ). Would it be possible for you to provide a link to this file, please?

Resolved - Activating a German airport (EDLP - Paderborn Lippstadt) when flying helicopter in Switzerland only didn't come to my mind first, activation was the solution.
Not so nice: Some of the buildings on LSMA carry the label 'Paderborn - Lippstadt' -> room for improvement...
