Update as of September 2023: I have decided to step away from flight simulation as I complete my commercial license and immediately moving onto CFI. As such I am relocating and will be unable to update this file. If anyone cares to continue work on it, see the notes below. Thank you all for the support and best wishes in the future!
Small to medium-sized US airport layout fixes focused primarily on:
-Missing runways/taxiways, alignment/lighting/coloration as per Google Maps and Airnav
-Adding hangars/FBOs/buildings where they are missing using default libraries
-Gate renumbering and alignment, missing aprons
-Some apron lighting
Map of current airports included
This project is now open source. If you would like to work off the layouts and change anything or add on to it, you will find all the projects in the file titled "Project Files for Creators". These are ready to be loaded into MSFS SDK or ADE and modded further. This file is ONLY for creators. TO BE CLEAR, if you are an end-user, this is not a file you need; only download "US Airport Layouts".
I have received this question a few times, regarding how to install:
I would suggest, and this project is organized as such, using a program such as MSFS Addon Linker. If you choose not to use a program such as this, then simply drag each airport to your community file.
KICT has a conflict with Andres3D's Airport Lights due to lights on the ramp*
If you use Black Square Real Taxiways and notice missing taxiway signs, please do the following:
Find content.xml in "C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache". Move the line for BSRT to the very bottom. Conversely you can move my files to the top. This is MSFS's way of handling scenery layering like back in FSX days. Now you'll have taxiway signs back! Be warned though, there may be some misalignments due to the way BSRT does their product. I cannot fix this if there are incorrect signs. I align to google maps.
For coloration issues inside your sim I would first double check that you don't have any texture addons running. I cannot answer for your own settings.

Thanks for making this add on. I was really disappointed when K34 or KIXD was so empty.

Thanks so much! KDVO, Gnoss field in California is void of any buildings. I grew up there and wonder if you would be so kind as to fill the void of buildings there? I now live at KSLN and like what you have done. Thanks again!

More good work! Great contributions. Could I convince you to take a look at KBMG Bloomington, Indiana? There are three rows of office-type building where there should be three rows of T-Hangers, and two undersized more major hangars, one at the N end of the flight line, and the other SW of the intersection of the the two runways.

Thanks for adding the missing things in all these airports. It gives us more options. Had this for a long time and finally reviewed it.
Great work here.
Could you add KTTD?

Hi, I took a look at TTD today. I admit I'm not from Portland but from what I could tell it looked fairly accurate? Is there something specific you are looking for with it?

Thank you for all your hard work. I use several of your airports. Could you possibly fix the localizer at KNFW ? The heading is way off.

Hmmmm, I will do some testing and see what I can come up with. Standby.

Probably good but disappointed Pennsylvania is completely missing. Was hoping to see my home airport N68.

Not ignoring you - just low on free time lately - will be happy to take a look at these. Looks like a few missing hangars some light realignment, anything else?
