This is a replacement for LF74 Puget Theniers which is incorrect in sim.
Altisurface Valberg is a small airdrome (altisurface) situated at over 1750 meters (5680ft) in alttutude above the ski resort Valberg in France's Alpes Maritimes.
60Km (35Mi) North of city of Cannes.
Coordinates:
44°06'21.7"N 6°56'26.2"E 44.106039, 6.940602 Lenght about 410m width about 35m Altitude 2240m downhill - 2280m uphill
---
To land to it use only runway 140 uphill. Keep power in engine to be able to climb on top (about 50m difference)
Remember the altitude is over 1700m or around 5600 ft!!
----
Takeoff downhill on 320. Mind the little hump at the end of the takeoff run on left. In real life I think it's a bit smaller but with the limited tools SDK has I couldn't make it better
You can spawn on two spots facing downhill with the engine running or choose one of the three parkings to spawn with the engine stopped. Zoom in close enough to see them.

Notes:
This is a replacement of current LF74 Puget Theniers which is a wrong name and ICAO for it.
I tried to put a more close to real live building of the hangar. That is the only one comming close to what I have seen in the pictures. I also added a flag and a windsock
No tower, no radio, but you can contact Nice Approach after takeoff.
ICAO in reality is LF0654 but MFS2020 allows only 5 characters so in game appears as LF654
Question for who downloads and uses these small airports. I put them as "starred" which means they are always visible on the map and easy to spot and choose. They also have now from update 3 a small plug icon that means pluggin (I suppose). Is the fact that they are starred and always visible a niuisance? Should I disable the feature and leave them visible only by search or by zooming in close enough?
Thanks!

Nice altisurface. Very good job.
Just a little remarque : the french flag, should be inverted, the blue should be in contact with the pole

Guy is a great guy (his contact mail is on his website).
Speaking again of Habère Poche I don't know neither if the jets and turboprops were "statics or AI nore if some exclusion is possible for hem and for the airport's vehicles. Was just to let it know...

Anyway Habère Poche is just for gliders (ULM for emergency only)
If someday you want to work on it, it only would need to put the main airport building in right orientation and suppress any static aircraft other than gliders or ULM (at the moment I saw turboprops and even a business jet !)
Thanks again for sharing your work. Kind regards,

I have few in the pipeline but most importantly after 8th this month I will have to take a break from MFS2020 for a bit. I can't promise anything but the plan after I get back is to do as many as possible from Alps area (mostly because is where I live now).
Cheers.

Found Habère Poche: exists in MSFS as "LF75 Perrignier" !
( Does not mean it could not be improved 😊 Most obvious is the wrong orientation of main airport's building...

Many thanks for you work. Would like to be able to do the same...
You asked :
1 - "Is the fact that they are starred and always visible a niuisance?" : Not for me
2- "Should I disable the feature and leave them visible only by search or by zooming in close enough?" I do not think so as you cannot easily zoom the map enough to make this kind of search
May I suggest you could try to figure LF7469 Habère Poche airstrip in MSFS ? 😊
