Description
Look! There's a clearance between two high mountains!
Nice! Put an airfield there and make the runway heading straight into the mountains.
That's Strom Field, in a nutshell. The runway is 1800ft long and sitting between two close mountains and the runways are rotated towards the mountains. Landing is a challenging thing, especially on RWY 7.
Strom Field is located right next to Morton, WA, US and a few miles out of Mt. Rainer, making it a convenient place to explore the area and for a quick hop to Ranger Creek (21W).
The city is very interesting to explore as there are apparently more parked cars than residents and at least 4 huge timber and logging companies.
Airnav lists a land-base beacon (white green) but I could not spot it either from gmaps o street view so I'm ommitting it. Additionally, I tried to model the ditch along the runway but could not terraform such a narrow object without creating problems on the runway or nearby farm.
Strom was featured in Georender 6 by Richard Goldstein along with S86 Sky Harbor (no longer operative and dismantled to make place for a housing project).
This scenario concludes my Georender hommage series. (and my winter holidays :) )
Happy landings.

we have it ingame though. It could be interesting but I'm lacking any sort of material other than some previous payware rendition manuals and screenshots/videos.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Could you use that in your sceneries?
Thanks for bringing to new life the good old times of Emma Field

but thanks for suggesting the idea, I might add some objects in other sceneries, I just don't want to force users to download too many dependencies ;)
thanks for Emma, I was really missing that one since FS2k4 :)

the only thing I'm not happy with are the runway side lights. Unfortunately, for now, there is no way to move them closer to the runway.

you don't need to activate lszs, you don't even need to have it installed besides having the bgl files active.
and yes, 1gb is lightweight in the msfs context.
