City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport (IATA: COS, ICAO: KCOS, FAA LID: COS), known as Colorado Springs Airport, is a city-owned public civil-military airport 6 miles (9.7 km) southeast of downtown Colorado Springs, in El Paso County, Colorado, United States. It is the second busiest commercial service airport in the state after Denver International Airport.

Hi! Did you know that your addon flattens a big part of the photogrammetry around the airport?

Why not upload some Day images so the airport is visible!

Great scenery! Well presented!
The only issue that I'm running into is the ILS glide paths being inaccurate. For example, the 17L glide path brought me straight into the lighting system before the threshold (it was an interesting surprise as it was near zero visibility), while the 35R GP leaves me about 50-100 feet higher over the threshold. Any chance of fixing this issue?

Just curious, do you use Navigraph navdata or just stock sim data? With me adjusting the terraforming to be proper and not Asobo's flattening of the airport, I would think if stock it's not aligned correctly anymore. I had similar issue when testing default airport with Navigraph data. I should be able to fix this from a tutorial I read.

I use Navigraph. But I figured it was due to some of the terraforming. Good luck! Can't wait to see the results.

I use Navigraph as well and don't have the issue.

Unfortunately my most recent flight ended in a crash on the takeoff roll from runway 17R, the runway has some pretty severe bumps that bounce the plane around a ton. The taxi from the west FBO/cargo ramp to 17R was also quite bumpy, but nothing too terrible. SU12 with the latest version of the scenery files. Once the terraforming issues get ironed out, this scenery will be great, and it already is quite good if you're using the normal airline runway (17L/35R).

Thanks for the update! The reason your ponds have water even with your SDK water exclusion is discussed here: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/water-exclusion-polygons-stopped-working-in-1-31-18-0-and-are-still-broken-in-1-31-22-0/577738

Latest version is a huge improvement over before, especially around the terminal area. Sadly, my first attempted flight out ended on Rwy 35 upside down. I got flipped like a judo wrestler. Any hope of resurrecting this airport?

Right now terraforming is bad in the sim. I am hoping with announced improvements in SU12 SDK I can restore the terraforming to what it used to be.

All I have to say is it's significantly better than the MSFSScenery verison. It's a really well done airport, especially for free ware.

Looking forward to the update cause at the moment I feel like Im off roading with this airport.

Sorry I do plan on updating the airport, I am sort of waiting for SU10 to release to see if it would help.

No worries, did a flight yesterday and the ending was not so great into KCOS.. something on the runway caused my 737 to crash. Have a video too. Haha

yeah its the terraforming, i'm working right now on reverting the custom dem data and releasing. Except the sim doing a BSOD isn't helping me.
