    Thank you for the kind comment! I've been to LA, and it stretched beneath the airplane like an ocean. A new experience after growing up in a village like this.

    Very nice airfield, thank you. The right hand side of the threshold RWY 21 is rather uneven. Any chance you can smooth it out?

    Thank you for the comment. Yes that's fixable. It'll be in a future 1.1 once I've re-done ENBV. =) The undulating edges are a recurring problem elsewhere too. :/

    Good job. Really liking all your Norwegian creations. I like this airport so much it's serving as one of the bases for my virtual airline, so that I can frequent it more often. It's challenging with Norwegian weather.
