Description
This regional airfield package will bring general scenery enhancements using generic and community library objects to enhance your experience flying into some of the most popular charter destinations in Panama. It also features improvements and additions to some common VFR landmarks, such as Puerto Vacamonte, Baha'i Temple, Marina San Carlos, the Penonomé Solar Park, and the salt ponds of El Salado.
To install, simply place all the folders included in the zip into your community folder. They are all separate sceneries, so you can choose which ones you want to install.
Please check the dependencies and download the required libraries; otherwise, you will have missing buildings and objects.
Also, please note that the Bahía Piñas scenery is not compatible with Kychungdotcom's Panama Airstrip Pack, so you must delete one or the other.
Here's a short description of each airport included:
MPCH: Capitán Manual Niño Airport is an international airport that serves the town of Changuinola and has scheduled flights from Panama City with Air Panama. A few crop dusters are based here, and you will see them parked in one of the hangars adjacent to the terminal.
MPSA: Rubén Cantú Airport serves the city of Santiago, capital of the Veraguas province.
MPCE: Alonso Valderrama airport serves the town of Chitré and has 6 weekly flights from Panama City with Air Panama. The latest Bing imagery for this area is terrible, so I recommend using the Google Maps enhancement mod when flying here.
MPGU: Augusto Vergara airport serves the town of Guararé. It is mostly flown to by charter companies and private flights.
MPPN: Penonomé airport serves the town of the same name. Also mostly flown to by charter companies and private flights.
MPFE: Fernando Eleta airport serves Pedro Gonzalez Island. It sees little traffic and the runway is in very good condition. Since 2008, the Eleta group has been working on making the place a big tourist attraction by building luxury hotels and facilities in the area.
MPRA: Coronel Raul Arias Espinoza airport serves Contadora Island in the Pearl Archipelago. It's one of the most popular charter destinations in the country and sees flights almost every day.
MPVR: El Porvenir airport serves the small island of the same name. El Porvenir is part of the San Blas islands and is one of the few of these with running water, electricity and a hotel. The ends of the runways are in very bad condition, as the sea has started to rise and the concrete edges of the runway have started to collapse. The runway damage has recently become so bad that the Panamanian Civil Aviation Authority was forced to close the airport, but I've left it in a good-enough condition to fly to in the sim.
MPBP: Bahía Piñas is an airport that serves the small town of the same name. It is only about 31 miles from the Colombian border and is a popular spot for sport fishing. This airport's real ICAO code is MPPI, but MSFS has a different airport already using that code, and there's no way to change it.
MPOA: Puerto Obaldía airport serves the small town of the same name. It is right next to the Colombian border on the northern side and is a rather isolated place. The rwy 35 landing is a bit challenging, having to fly a tight approach bordering the mountains and avoiding the trees right before the runway.
MPLY: Lago Bay is a private airstrip that serves a resort of the same name. It was very recently opened and has already proven to be a popular charter destination. It's located West of the Azuero peninsula.
MPCL: Calzada Larga is an airstrip just north of Panama City. It is mainly used for training purposes.
MPCM: Chame is located Southwest of Panama City, and is one of the closest airports outside of the city, apart from Colón. It is mainly used for training whenever there's bad weather at Calzada Larga. Skydive Panama regularly operates out of this airport, and the national air service has a hangar here as well.
Este paquete de aeropuertos regionales trae mejoras generales usando objetos genericos y de librerías hechas por la comunidad para mejorar la experiencia al volar a los destinos charter más populares de Panamá.
Para instalar simplemente mueva las carpetas incluidas en el archivo zip a la carpeta Community del simulador. Cada carpeta es un aeropuerto diferente, asi que puede escoger cuales quiere instalar.
Por favor revise las dependencias e instale las librerias requeridas. Sin ellas, faltarán algunos objetos en los aeropuertos.
El escenario de Bahía Piñas no es compatible con el Panama Airstrip Pack de Kychungdotcom asi que tendrá que borrar una de las dos.

Another typical MSFS 2024 bug seems to be that many large trees have crept into the airport, inside of the perimeter fence.
Perhaps you might want to look into those minor issues for the announced dedicated 2024 pack. I'd be happy to help with testing.
De todos modos, gracias por su trabajo y por su contribución!

And yes, you have to endure some bugs in career mode, but I like it for a short GA hop in short sim session in the evening, following it into corners of the world, where I wouldn't have gone on my own. For that I love region packs like yours.
In any case, thanks a lot for your reply and your work!

Version History
Panama Regional Airfields Pack V2 Changelog - Recompiled all airports with latest MSFS 2020 SDK. This should make all airports compatible with MSFS 2024, but I will be releasing a dedicated 2024 version of this pack soon. New Airport - Lago Bay (MPLY) New Airport - Chame (MPCM) New Airport - Calzada Larga (MPCL) New Package - VFR Landmarks - These include: - Marina San Carlos + Heliport - Puerto Vacamonte - El Salado salt pools (removal of watermask) - Penonome Solar Park - Baha'i temple ~ Recommended library: Static boat library by superspud Most of these were suggested by kenitomaverick. If you can think of others you'd like to see, let me know. Piñas: - Adjusted tree height around airport - Adjusted runway and apron position to match latest aerial imagery - Darkened coloration of runway and apron Contadora: - Changed runway numbers to 36/18 - Adjusted some terraforming in the vicinity of the runway - Added new south apron - Made several aesthetic changes to the area near the north apron - Changed look of north apron to reflect recent repaving IRL - Added ferry dock on south side of island Santiago: - Lowered tree height around airport - Added new control tower - Elevated tower area Chitre: - Added new turn-around apron on runway 19 - Changed state of apron to reflect the recent repaving and repainting IRL - Reforested A LOT of the areas surrounding the airport, town, rivers, etc. This is due to the latest Bing imagery, which has the whole town covered in a cloud. I recommend using the Google Maps enhancement if you want this area not to look like a brown mess.
