Hewanorra International (TLPL) & George F. L. Charles Airport (TLPC) Updated Scenery Pack Project
[UPDATED AS NEW INFO IS DISCOVERED]
DEPENDENCIES:
In order to see the static Airbus Helicopter in the Helicopter parking, download it from HypePerformanceGroup's page https://flightsim.to/file/8970/airbus-h135-helicopter-project and check out their discord at https://discord.gg/dUNDGb2Z7c
Those guys are awesome at what they do!
DESCRIPTION:
While doing this project, a payware version was released by FSDG. I think they did both airports as well. At the time i'd already completed about 75% of both airports, so I kept going with it. Check it out at Aerosofts website.
The island of Saint Lucia is located in the Caribbean, South of Martinique and North of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and is part of the Winward islands. Hewanorra International Airport (TLPL), located near Vieux Fort Quarter, Saint Lucia, is the larger of Saint Lucia's two airports and is managed by the Saint Lucia Air and Seaports Authority (SLASPA). It is on the southern cape of the island, about 53.4 km (33.2 mi) from the capital city, Castries.
The airport can accommodate Boeing 747, Airbus A330, Airbus A340, Boeing 777, and other long-range intercontinental aircraft.
The country's smaller airport, George F. L. Charles Airport, (TLPC) is located in Castries and handles inter-Caribbean passenger flights, which are operated with turboprop and prop aircraft.
INSTALLATION:
Open and extract ''lexpro-St Lucia_updated_scenery_pack_project_v1.0'' (or the version name you choose to download) to your prefered location on your PC, then unZip and open the folder and copy both "George_F_L_Charles_Airport_Updated_Scenery_Project" and "Hewanorra_International_Airport_Updated_Scenery_Project" folders into where your Community folder is located, then start the sim and go to TLPL-Hewanorra International or TLPC-George F. L. Charles Airport. That's it!
Each time I upload an updated version here, just replace the same "George_F_L_Charles_Airport_Updated_Scenery_Project" folder or "Hewanorra_International_Airport_Updated_Scenery_Project" folder in your Community folder to update the scenery. Make back ups to the old folders if necessary.
DETAILED UPDATED FEATURES TO DEFAULT SCENERY (V1.0) - TLPL:
- - Started from scratch and deleted everything except the default terminal building.
- - Stratigically placed very specific scenery objects from the sim library around the default building to try match the design structure IRL.
- - Made some corrections to the surrounding terrain of the Airport which caused me to re-terraform the moutain East of the airport.
- - Added runway/lights, PAPI lights, aprons, taxi lights, taxiway signs, taxi ways, ''wear n' tear'' textures and ground markings/numberings.
- - Programed ATC data to call out the designated taxiway path letters and gate numbers.

- - Added static aircraft\service vehicles surrounding the airport and in various areas, Including an Airbus H135 Helicopter I put in one of the heliport parking spaces which you'll have to download from HypePerformanceGroup's page to see it. [See Dependencies]
- - Randomly placed Marshalls/Workers and other animated people around the Airport in general.
- - Added barbwire fencing around entire Airport and in other surrounding areas. [work in progress]

Thats all for now. More to come in every version update. Do enjoy this on going project which takes a great deal of time and effort. Feel free to leave any comments after you've flown around. Have fun flying and see you in the Sim world :)
Hi,
1st of all, great work there.
One problem, or not....., is it real that there is a huge cube near runway 14?

Thanks man.
To be honest i havn't flown in a while and more than likely recent sim updates might've messed up some of my sceneries. Last time I checked, nothing should be obstructing any of the runways. Also I have realized some of these glitches do stem from people with the GSX addon. Myself included....and I did all my sceneries before discovering GSX. When I get time, i'll try to go through all of them and update where necessary.

This is awesome! I'm from Saint Lucia and the FSDG buildings are way more accurate in design. But yours seems a lot more detailed, with the surrounding roads, the car park at TLPL and so on.
If the two sceneries could be used together it would be perfect!

Thank you man. Yea I usually try to focus on every detail of an airport as I possibly can. Sometimes I have to dial it back so there are no CTD lol.
Yes, combining our works would be cool :)

Absolutely stunning! You have no idea how appreciated these efforts are. For so long the Caribbean has been neglected by the sims and the addon developers. People like you are making the dreams of so many of us of flying in this stunning region a reality. I cannot thank you enough!
PS Yours is definitely better than the payware!

Thank you man! Glad I did of some service to the sim world. To be honest that was my goal going into this as I too wanted to enjoy the Caribbean the way it was meant to be enjoyed in the sim and I couldnt wait for any paywares to come out at the time. I'm so glad Asobo implemented the Developer mode in MSFS otherwise I wouldn't be communicating with you today lol. Thanks a lot and much appreciated! :D

Thanks bro. Also thank you for telling me about the lighthouse. With all the videos and pics i've been looking at to get this scenery close accurate, I never really saw a lighthouse lol. I will definitely include it in the next update. :)

I'm really impressed by your TLPL and TLPC.Your TLPL is closer, in my memory(We landed there for a stop from France enroute to TFFF with our DC10)to the real thing. I bought the FSDG renditions of both airports but I prefer yours! Well done
Cheers
