    Grand Canyon National Park Airport KGCN - Image 1

    Description

    ** 2.2.1 Now Available - See Notice Below  **

    ** File size has been reduced to ~16Mb **

    NOTICE:

    *** Microsoft has updated the satellite imagery around KGCN in their lastest World Update 10, so I have removed my custom imagery since it is no longer needed; I recommand doing a clean install and not copying over files. I'll leave the older version avaible but there are problems with the vegetation around the airport due to new update.

    Quick description:

    Grand Canyon National Park Airport is a state-owned public-use airport located in Tusayan, Arizona; located 7 miles from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon National.

    What does this scenery package do?

    The default Grand Canyon National Park Airport (KGCN) needed some much help with almost zero buildings, misaligned taxiways and a lack of uniqueness. I created this mod to enhance KGCN with proper 3D assets including: hangars, terminals, vehicles, roads, and vegetation around the airport; along with fixes to the runway and taxiway. This is not a 100% perfect representation of KGCN but I hope the additions to the airport makes it feel more real.

    Dependencies:

    This addon now uses some of the amazing models from Mikea.at, so make sure to get their assetpack using the link below or through the dependencies tab above.

    More information:

    FPS optimization is still on-going but the hit using this mod now is ~5 fps.

    This is mostly working in MSFS 2024 and looks great. I don't seem to be getting the crazy issues AndrewE displays below, however the aviation parking area does change elevation part way through, nothing drastic though.

    This scenery addon was awesome in MSFS2020.
    I installed into MSFS2024 to see how well it works. Unfortunately, there are some issues with some scenery objects and the terrain surrounding the airport.

    @JustOkayPilot, Is it possible to make this scenery compatible with GSX?
    Because the scenery might have unconnected parking spots, orphaned nodes, missing links, etc.
    Otherwise it is perfect!

    Something is wrong with your scenery. FSHud told me the arrival runway 03 did not exist. Beyond ATC accepted the Flight Plan but after landing GSX told me "no valid data", services unavailable.

    I can confirm it works in 2024.

    Looking great in '24 - I just seem to have some small elevated areas now.

    I downloaded the airport hyesterday for my msfs 2024, because I wanted to see/fly over the Grand Canyon.
    The airport looks really great (from what I have seen) except that you have 2 control towers now :-) One from the edition, and one from the streamed airport fromAsobo (a bit smaller and more grey)
    Maybe someone could repair this ?

    Came here to see the Grand Canyon myself after the latest FS2024 update.
    This airport is surprisingly well made a pleasure to fly from.

    Airport looks amazing, but I am having trouble using it with GSX Pro. It says valid airport data could not be found and thus I am unable to use GSX. If anyone knows of a fix for this, please let me know!

    Love what you've done with the airport. Thank you
