Just have a couple of minor nitpicks. The static airplanes in 2024 are distractingly bad, many float just off the ground, some have broken landing gear and other visual artifacts, and most all have pilots sitting in them all the time. Maybe it'd be better just to include a few more small parking spaces so those who want AI traffic can use the in-game slider to spawn them?
Also, the fuel trucks are showing up in super low resolution for me in 2024 at least, And there's a board floating in the air on the ramp, you can see if from the location of the static plane closest to the hangers if you look back towards the FBO, for some reason it's invisible from the other side so hard to spot.

We also noticed the ground traffic in FS24 is behaving differently than FS20. In fact, we had to completely remove and replace static planes from the FS20 version when updating the airport to FS24. We've noticed the aggressive LOD rendering causing the model to "deform" as the camera pulls away, including the odd white plank floating mid air.
We will review the FS24 rendition of the airport again to address the AI traffic and FS default model issues, and try our best to mitigate these "annoyances". We certainly appreciate your feedback and support in our effort of improving GA airports in this region.
