    [2NC0] Mountain Air Airport - Image 1

    Description

    Disclaimer: I am totally aware, that I still have a lot to learn. My Blender skills are definitely not up to par with some of the guys on this site. This is especially true when it comes to texturework. For this reason, I have included a version of the airport that does not have custom buildings, just the autogen ones.


    Update 1.0.1: Just a technical update, I have renamed the 'modellib' folder to not cause any issues.

    Welcome To Mountain Air!

    Mountain Air is a gated community in North Carolina. Homeowners and Members of Mountain Air Country Club can enjoy its many amenities all year round. Mountain Air is easily accessible with a car, however, it also has its own private airstrip. The airstrip is located atop a mountain, which makes landing a little bit more challenging than your usual rodeo. If it is your first time at Mountain Air, it is recommended to do a pass over the strip and get a feel for the surrounding area before attempting to land. 
    If in doubt, you can always check the Pilot's Manual, published by non-other then the Mountain Air Pilot's Association.

    Happy flying, happy golfing, and remember, always touch down before the 2000ft mark!

    Features:
    - Complete terraforming of the area. In the original version, 2NC0 is a flat airport atop the mountain. I made the required modifications to feel much closer to the real-life counterpart. Unfortunately, the SDK still has some limitations regarding terraforming, but I am pretty happy with the end result.
    - 2 custom models for the main buildings. If you wish to use the airport without them please use the file from 'NOCUSTOMBUILDINGS.ZIP'.
    - VASI light added to the end of Runway 34. It has a 3.5 degree glideslope. Works the following way: Blinking white means above glideslope, steady white indicates glideslope, steady red indicates slightly under glideslope, blinking red indicates under glideslope.
    - Many 'default' Asobo assets also added to the scene to give it more life
    - 5 parking available, no FUEL.

    Installion:
    Normal version: Unzip the two files, and use 'matemate-airport-2nc0-mountainair' folder to copy into your community folder. You can discard the 'NOCUSTOMBUILDINGS.ZIP' if you want.
    Autogen Buildings Version: Unzip the two files, then unzip  'NOCUSTOMBUILDINGS.ZIP', and use the folder inside to drop into your community folder. You can discard  'matemate-airport-2nc0-mountainair' folder if you want.


    Future Plans:
    This is release 1.0. For me this airport is a long term project. I continuously learn and improve on the way, in the long term, I would like to remake the two main buildings for higher quality, and add more local houses. For now, however, it's quickfixes. Please if you find an issue or inaccuracy, let me know in the comments or direct message and I will try to fix it.

    Hope you will all enjoy flying at Mountain Air!

    This airport was created based on user request. I did quite grow to like it though, this is why I want to keep on developing it.

    Nice Airport. Any future updates planned?
    Suggestion: Request flightsim.to to include your airport under their heading of "Mountain Airports"

    Thank for this scenery. In case gamers are interested, here is an article from a famous real world publication (Flying). The Jan issue has an article on this very airport!

    This is a very nice scenery.

    There seems to be a problem with the windsocks at each end of the runway when windy. The middle windsock works correctly. Watch this:

    This is quite nice. This morning I looked around the current MSFS condition of Mountain Air (2NC0) and I thought "hmm, this is not bad." Then I downloaded and installed your "nobuildings" version and wow, what a nice surprise. There is a windsock at both ends of the runway, improved markings and signs, as well as lower trees and nicely terraced golf cart paths. A lot to look at and pretty from the air.

    I've stopped using this scenery as the author hasn't responded to comments or updated the scenery ever. The trees and terrain are not correct anymore after several sim / world updates. Such a shame, it was a great and badly needed airport scenery that this person put a lot of effort into, then stopped improving on. Hopefully one day he comes back, see all the interest, and updates it. Until then I guess we'll have to hope someone else makes a better version.

    Cool airport. Besides the terrain, which is a bit on the rough side surrounding the runway and tall trees at the end of runway 32, I've noticed that two of the three windsocks are blowing in the opposite direction than they should. Only the midfield windsock is pointing the right way. This happens when the windsock in the scenery editor isn't placed with a heading of 0°. The default heading of placed windsocks is 180°, thus making them point in the wrong way, if you don't change it.

    Please update the scenery, terrain looks wrong.

    Agreed. Trees blocking the end of 14 again, how it is in the default MFS scenery.

    Very cool and fun airport to fly into, nice work in creating this for MSFS!

    over 5 years ago

    I flew into 2NC0 today after the world update 3 and the default trees blocking the end of runway 32 are back.

    Thank your for this excellent scenery, it needed to be done so badly. Hopefully MFS gets the scenery gateway and freeware section of the marketplace up and running soon so you can upload this. I'd love for my XBOX friends to be able to download it when MFS is available for it this summer. Much appreciated!! I love hopping between 2NC0 to NC06 Elk River.

    this airport is too good. love the bush like feel and approach on 23 and take off from 23. A fun route for this airport is heavens landing 4WV4 another mountain airport nearby.

    Thanks. Well done.
    But I do wonder why the 3 windsocks on the field all indicate differing wind direction.

    Hello, I was the one who requested this scenery, thank you so much for doing it! I had the Aerosoft version but since I went to P3Dv4.5 and ditched FSX, I have not had this airfield (and since moved over to FS2020). Your work looks great, very comparable to the Aerosoft version (I'd say better). By the way, I didn't find this file in the normal scenery list here but rather on the scenery map. Again, thank you so much for doing this, am going to put the work out to my friends using FS2020.

    Nice work... I'm working on some custom Scenery as well. Love the new sdk.

    over 5 years ago

    Really nice! Only the trees should be more tall and maybe more pine.

    Really nice work!
    Only the textures of the buildings need some improvement, but otherwise perfect.
