    KWBW Wilkes-Barre Wyoming Valley Airport - Image 2

    Description

    KWBW Wilkes-Barre Wyoming Valley is a public non-towered airport established in 1929 in Forty-Fort, Pennsylvania. It's home to Valley Aviation flight school, which is where I did my flight training. The airport has a 3375 foot asphalt runway and 2191 foot grass strip, with the field adjacent to the Susquehanna River. Just six miles away is a Class Delta regional airport, KAVP WIlkes-Barre/Scranton, and flight students often visit it as their first towered field. The entire area is underneath KAVP's TRSA, which offers radar services such as flight following to participating aircraft.

    I created custom Blender models for the main hangar, rental hangars, fuel station, ground school building, bus transit building, Gerrity's supermarket, and the ubiquitous flower tent that is always camped in the airport's parking lot. There are objects from several freeware libraries. See the list below for the downloads (I've listed which objects will be missing if you are missing the library. Some are just for flavor, while others are required):

    I also used EDHK lights to significantly upgrade the surrounding area's street lighting, including the local bridges.

    I regularly fly out of KWBW in MSFS on my YouTube channel, so check it for some flight videos featuring this field.

    I've been watching your (awesome) channel, so decided to travel over (virtually) from the UK to the Scranton area and replicate some of your flying! 5 stars airport.

    Only 3 of the required/recommended libraries is marked as 2024 compatible. Do you use this addons with only those 3 or are there no issues with the 2020 compatible libraries?

    Amazingly beautifull only 1 issue and that is with the EDHK Lights & Objects Developers Pack (Asset-Pack) required pack, those lights turn off when further away, you have to be really close for them to be visible also they stay on 24/7. You beuutifull scenery would be best with lights that work better.

    Also Daves 3d people can not be downloaded at all, can they be found elsewhere?

    Thanks. I’m still learning the SDK but someday I’ll figure out how to tie the lighting to the time of day. I’ll have to check if there’s some other people libraries since Daves seems to be no longer available.

    Nice work... (might be better to keep your 2020 and 2024 DL as separate downloads so that the user has a choice in which version to DL.. (some have 2020 or 2024 while others don't)

    Thanks! Both versions should be in the zip file.

    Yes exactly.. If two versions, that is: one for 2020 and another for 2024, then they should not be in the same download but in separate dowlnload links so that the end user can select the one they need.. (without having to downloading the other one that they may not need).

    Beautiful scenery. After watching you fly here IRL on YouTube, I see so many of the details you put into KWBW. Thanks for the scenery, and sharing your creation process!

    The level of detail is best exemplified by Gerrity's across Wyoming Avenue. Excellent! One suggestion -- the hangar has suspended from the interior rafters an old large parachute. Is there any way to replicate this?
    s

    over 2 years ago

    Thanks! It's funny you should mention that, because I've been eyeing up the parachute ever since starting but I wasn't sure how to do it in Blender. I've just figured out Blender's cloth physics and redid the flower tent, so the parachute might be possible.

    Excellent again! The details are so good. The folks sitting on the bench outside, so true to life there. One other suggestion, as I don't think I missed it -- the RV bus that is parked to the runway side of the first/last hangar. Although it has moved *relatively* recently, I feel as though that bus is as much a fixture there as the folks who call the bench home for hours on weekends.

    Thanks for making this! I've made my own KWBW but didn't have the skill set to add in the custom models. That really set's it off! Appreciate your efforts.
