Thank you! It was a pleasure to make. If they renovate the speedway I’ll be sure to go back and remodel it in all its glory

This is my hometown airport, and where i did a lot of flight hours in and out of, so I was disappointed when I found the airport was flat and missing all buildings, but this addition fixes that and is better than pretty much any default airport. This is a great airport to learn from as there is an ILS approach, as well as +4000ft elevation differential to the north and west. A decent sized lake that you can land on in an amphibious aircraft, and of course with this scenery download the Addition of a 3d Rendered North Wilkesboro Speedway, which is an abandoned Nascar track where the sport got its heritage. Which also looks very realistic and better than any default scenery of it's kind.
