Author's final note
As for all of my MSFS mods, this small scenery is made from a pilot-eyes perspective. The scenery is inspired by aerial views from Bing and Google maps. It's a mix between the satellite imagery displayed from MSFS and more accurate data found on Internet. I did my best, based on online videos and pictures freely available. It uses also a lot of stocked object as my skill in 3D buildings creation is very limited. If you have local pictures to help being more accurate, please let me know!
