Description
[Now with an added version - separate download - for 2024]
Shady Acres Airport is located a few miles south of Tacoma in Spanaway, Washington. It's under some fairly busy skies, with the Seattle Class B airspace and the Class D airspace for Joint Base Lewis McChord both nearby. Established in 1962, Shady Acres is an airpark (one of the first in Washington State), with the runway surrounded by homes. Plenty of surrounding tall trees, roads, fences - and a very narrow runway - make this airport a challenge for both take offs and landings.
It's a quick flight north to check out my version of Bandera State: https://flightsim.to/file/78735/4w0-bandera-state
In the other direction, it's a quick flight South West along the I5 to call in at Hoskins Field in Olympia: https://flightsim.to/file/78575/44t-hoskins-field
The main effort with this scenery was sorting out the pretty messy photogrammetry; I've tidied this up as much as possible. There's also custom runway markings and a few other custom bits and pieces (and more to come soon, I hope).
If anyone has photos of this airport they could share, I'm keen to work on some more custom buildings.
As ever, please let me know what you think! I'll try and keep improving things.
Finally, you'll need a few other things to make this work properly - all listed below.

Version History
This version should fix the seams/ridges/chasms/bumps in the runway It's a bit of a workaround (you'll see what I mean on the world map) but the runway starts should be in just about the right place. As ever, feedback welcome - let me know how you get on with this version! Oh, and I've added a landing T as well, in what I hope is the right place, just about.
