Has there been any update in years? Does this still work with latest world and sim updates?

I really love the Canary Islands, and It is heart breaking seeing they are receiving so little attention.
Really looking forward for the rest of the islands. Particularly my beloved La Palma!

Are you aware about this El Hierro Airport co-existing on flightsim.to see:
https://flightsim.to/file/2256/el-hierro-airport-gchi ?
It seems that you have more focus on surrounding and building constructions. So my question is: Do you know, having both "files" in the community folder whether they collide with each other? - Or can they be used together?
Cheers BWilli
btw. I love EL Hierro ;-)

Yes I am aware of this file Honestly I do not know right now. I will test today however we do not recommend it, with this still being work in progress and we are currently working on enhancing the ground mesh as well due to that fact there is quite a drop after the wall (passenger side of the terminal ). So it be that they might run side by side now but later on they might not
I hope this helps
The goal is to create as close a possible to the real world El Hierro, once this is complete we will be making our way through the rest of the islands.
Thank you also.
