Description
10/28/202: The Asobo Studios Reno Air Races DLC conflicts with this addon. Before, the Asobo KRTS airport was not available during free flight, it was only available during the actual race portions of the official DLC. A recent update made the Asobo KRTS airport available in free flight, which now conflicts with this addon. To use this addon, you will unfortunately have to delete the official DLC, as there is no way to disable it at the moment.

Great little airfield, looks really great.
Works perfectly, looks great
and is a great upgrade for the MSFS.
I especially like the many small details.
It is compatible with SU11,
thanks for that

I just found this addon and compared it to the official airport. Looks really good. Great job.
But as i have the official Reno AirRace package, the slight offset of some of the pylons is super annoying to me. It would be great, if the positions could be adjusted.
Or is there maybe a way for me, to remove the pylons on my own?
I found the pylon texture files (but i didn't try what happens if i remove them).
Maybe i can also edit some of the others files so the pylons get removed?

If you didn't buy Reno Air Race from MSFS this scenery still works fine.

Any chance of getting the source to this, so we can update it immediately? Github?
Same issue as https://flightsim.to/file/11837/reno-stead-airport-krts-reno-air-races/214127
Thanks!

Hey yes, I'm trying to sort it out. We'll see what happens. Stay tuned.

Awesome, thanks.
Actually, on further playing around I found it does load ok. There's some minor positional differences in the pylons between yours and the MSFS Reno race tracks though, so would be nice to harmonise them for practice.

Excellent work, but unfortunately broken as of SU7/RAR update, shame because Asobo included only the regular operations version in non-race mode leaving this as the only way to practice RAR in regular flight mode.

It seems that the pylon poles still show up much further away than the pink/yellow/green barrels on them.. For example flying an Extra in VR, i can just make out the pole at 8-9 seconds away, and then the barrels show at about 2-3 seconds before i pass them. same for the smaller flags in between; i can barely see the poles, and then the flag pops in when im very close.
edit: added video of what i see : https://youtu.be/ufKQAO9_vJA

Thank you for the video. This has always been a problem since the beginning. Some experience it more than others. I think in your case, the pylons draw way too late. In my case for example its not as bad. You can check out some of the videos from the GotGravel discord guys, the guys have races sometimes that they'll upload to Youtube, and I haven't seen their draw distances this bad.
I've tweaked this a bunch of times but need to get it to the point where no one will have an issue. Initially, we thought it was the bounding box that was too small. So i made the pylon bounding box much much larger, like the size of the runway. But even so, there are still issues. So thanks for bringing it up, but I suspect this will be an ongoing issue. Let me know if it ever improves for you. I suspect the game updates could have something to do with it.

Unfortunately, a stutter festival on my end.

Very nice and thank you for the effort. Also, it was a nice surprise to see my first squadron with the same livery used the day I showed up (VMFA-235).
