| IMPORTANT: THIS ADDON CONFLICTS WITH THE ASOBO RENO AIR RACES DLC.
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.

Nice

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?

Great!

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.
sonicviz 1 year(s) ago
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).

The Tiltrotors are a bonus with the update! The building duplication fix is very nice too! Thanks for this update!

Great scenery!!!! where's the pdf with the courses? i cant seem to find it.
dantesmante 1 year(s) ago
Hey thanks for the comment. I've reuploaded the course along with the PDF. Just hit download again and it should be there now.

Fantastic update.

Excellent Work, I built similar scenery way back in the FS2002-FSX days and this is by far the best. I have been flying the courses in VR and they are easy to follow at speed and look amazing.

Real Reno racing next month! Check out Mr. Proper’s Enhanced Live Traffic (also here at flightsim.to) and we may be able to watch the racers in real time on the Reno race course. We just need some good surrogate aircraft to model match with.
RDingo 1 year(s) ago
Starts in just a couple of days now. September 15-19. Mr.Proper’s Enhanced Live Traffic is working great in WU6 so we might be able to watch the races virtually. Best learn how to edit model matching if you don’t already know or you’ll probably be seeing lots of Airbuses rounding the pylons or doing STOL racing. I think this is a first for flight simulation, too. Blurring the lines with reality…

@Dantesmante - Still enjoying Reno! (Works fine for me with update 5!) With the real Reno races coming up soon, would you be interested in massaging the scenery to include a few of these? (https://flightsim.to/file/18392/vintage-aircraft-collector-library-v-1-0) He's also got a library of nice looking GA aircraft. (All creative commons) Reno ought to be fun to watch virtually with https://flightsim.to/file/17289/enhanced-live-traffic!

Could you fix your link for version 1.0.1 it has Version 1.10 when I go to download it. Thanks in advance 😊
RDingo
The STOL drag race strip adds a lot of racing options and is some big fun in the Top Rudder Solo. Very challenging in the Gravel Cubs! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmI2HFXX4DM

hi! I really adore your work, just wanted to say, that addonlinker tells me you have an unrenamed modellib. Not sure if its true or not, just wanted to tell you 😊

How often do the hanger doors open and close?
DestructZero 1 year(s) ago
I timed it (I'm retired so I have the time, lol). Once they're completely open, the doors stay open for approximately 2:50. Once they're completely closed, they stay closed for about 1:25. Plenty of time to have the pushback guy pull you out.
