About the Development of Airfield Hayfork in MSFS2020:

Hayfork Airport is a small general aviation airfield equipped with runway lighting, but in reality, it appears somewhat outdated and neglected. However, this adds to its charm and invites you to explore. It serves as a convenient connecting hub for Trinity-Center Airport in Trinity County, making it an ideal base for exploring the area. I've meticulously replicated everything as closely as possible to reality using existing objects and SDK tools from MSFS, along with a few third-party libraries. If you're a fan of visual flight rules (VFR) flying, you likely already have these libraries.

As mentioned, I've modified and aged the runway, apron, and taxiway pavements, including grass growing in the apron. Many trees, especially spruces, have been removed in the vicinity of the airfield. Even compared to Google Maps, I've been conservative in depicting the area. The spruces have been replaced with low shrubbery and deciduous trees, interspersed with occasional spruces.

In the immediate surroundings, I've added power cables along the roads and created a lowered dry bed with tunnel tubes supposedly passing beneath the runway. A windsock has been installed, along with a different rotating airport beacon, Windsock pattern blocks, fencing, and more. There are plenty of details to observe and discover.  The dark hangar is in real life according to Google maps called, US Transportation Department, so i changed the parkingspot in front of the hangar as an Cargo parking spot for GA.:-)    And if you park in front of the white hangar, your aircraft will be refueled. (hidden fuelstation parking spot).

Enjoy your flights at this updated airport!

Libraries:
Microsoft Default (including world updates):
I utilized basic materials from MSFS 2020 - Premium Deluxe as much as possible, including objects from the world updates. For example: the T-markings on the apron are from World Update XIII - Hawaii’s Kona International Airport (PHKO).

Third-party libraries:
After downloading the main file, kindly ensure to also download the required third-party libraries. Otherwise, you won't be able to view the details.
I will include the links, after I upload this mainfile.
As I said, several objects are from third-party libraries not included, which are likely already in your possession if you frequently use VFR airfields. The list of necessary libraries includes:

- ethnicfs - vehicles - library (5 cars)
- jhd-library
- Mikeaat-assetpack 
- human-library-animated
- library1v14-cbj 
- esd-modellib-eolib 
- Dave's Crooked Library

One extra remark:
Since I'm using Rex Accuseason, certain trees and/or heights might be different if you're not using this addon. So far, there haven't been any complaints, but just know that this could be the reason.
