    YKSC Kingscote Airport, Kangaroo Island, South Australia - Image 1

    Description

    YKSC Kingscote Airport has been a personal project for me taking over 2years to develop in my spare time learning the craft of Blenders and fighting the MSFS SDK. This Scenery has been made for MSFS 2020 only at this stage, other platforms may be considered but not planned. The Features of this airport include a highly detailed Terminal that includes the upgrade expansion and runway extensions completed in 2018 costing 18M AUD. The terminal externals and internals have been created using very limited images from many web sources so they may not be 100% the same as real-world airport detail,

    Airport Infomation

    Kingscote Airport (IATA: KGC, ICAO: YKSC) is located 6.5 nautical miles (12.0 km; 7.5 mi) southwest of Kingscote, South Australia, the main town on Kangaroo Island, in the locality of Cygnet River.  The airport is the sole airport for Kangaroo Island. Kangaroo Island is one of South Australia's most popular tourist attractions, attracting over 140,000 visitors each year, with international visitors, primarily from Europe, accounting for more than 25% of these visits.

    Beautifully done! Yes, the terminal building is small, but it is modelled to great detail. Need a coffee? You'll find a full-grown coffee machine at the bar!

    Seems(?) to be working in 2024.
    Nothing to benchmark it against, but looks very nice (heaps good) in 2024.
    if you're still around and would like me to check anything shoot me a message.
    Off for a FU ice coffee!

    This is astounding! Absolutely love your work here, the modelling is as good as the best payware developers and the detail in the terminal and surrounds has to be seen to be believed. I flew YPPF YADG YGWA YKSC using all of the sceneries, lovely route as always and icing on the cake with my first visit to your YKSC. I spent over half an hour on the ground exploring all of the detail you've included. I don't need much excuse to visit KI and now I'll be flying everything I can find over there. I don't even need to pay for the ferry! 😁
