Asheville Regional RWY 17/35 opened Nov 2020  😎

MSFS 2020 and even payware scenery is still living in the past, If you follow the stock ILS, you would be landing an unfinished gray slab of asphalt

Be in the present, with this mod.

• Fly the ILS 17 / 35 onto an actual runway instead of a giant grey slab
  Temporary runway is now Taxiway B, construction completed in 2021.
• Follow taxiway signs and markings, painstakingly handplaced and recreated from photos and videos.
• Park somewhere that looks real. The hangars are correctly sized.
• Enjoy night lighting from over 300 taxi edge lights individually placed and positioned
• All pavement areas and taxiway shoulders are handplaced, pavement coloration areas matched individually
• Approach lights, papis, all true to real-life counterparts.
• VATSIM-ready (Request by messaging me or through this form: https://www.ztlartcc.org/pilots/request-staffing)

I pair this in my own sim with the Asheville scenery from EnjoyItFly for a more immersive VFR experience! https://flightsim.to/file/28924/asheville-nc-usa and https://flightsim.to/file/30100/asheville-south-nc-usa 

to these VATSIM Aviators that I met on network.

• F. Jackson who flies from South Florida to Asheville and is in airline training. Good luck to you! and Thanks in advance for those photos the next time you fly in :)

  available in-game or from the Aerosoft store

Did you follow the ILS to land on a closed runway? Maybe you sidestepped to the scenery runway because it just felt wrong?? MSFS 2020 scenery and FSXenery payware is still living in the past, using a runway that is now Taxiway B. Be in the present, true to charts, with this mod.
