Optional Downloads
The following are some optional files you can download to make things better. You will need them to see some objects. But they are by no means required.
FSLTL by fslivetrafficliveries.com
You don't need the injector, just the Base Models. This adds the parked aircraft at the AVMAX Maintenance hangar. LINK
We love VFR - Region 2 by PuffinFlight
This adds numerous towers near the airport. Including the WX radar at the NWS Building. I also use an object from this package as a stand in for the Air Search Radar locate in the middle of the field. LINK
TurtleTank's objects & Materials by TurtleTank1997
This adds the Distance Remaining Signs alongside both runways. LINK
Japan airports Model Library by Karuchie
This will add the RVR Sensors alongside RWY 8-26. And add the rotating beacon atop the water tower near the GA ramp. Sadly it will only be visible when close to it because of Draw Distance. You Basically can't see it unless you are parked at the City Ramp. LINK
Dames Point Bridge by Michelvp
Add the Dames Point Bridge south of the airport. LINK
You will also need both US World updates from the in game store!
Known Issues
The following are issue I was unable to fix for various reasons. They may be fixed in a future update.
1. Terrain. This airport proved to be a real pain in the butt to terraform. Weird hills and dips where all over the
place and refused to cooperate with Asobos odd method of terraforming. So I eventually gave up and flattened
the whole airport! There is a 6ft elevation difference between the highest and lowest points of the airport. So
it's not that big a deal.
Compatibility Warning!
Airport Lights by Andres3D will cause issues with this mod. It does work! However since this mod adds its own lights around the airport; You will see the ones placed by Andres mod in addition to the ones placed by this mod. Unfortunately there's no way to Alter Andres mod to fix that.
Much appreciated for this overlooked airport!!

Just to let you know. I (wit the help of LKPdesigns, have released another version of this airport. It include custom buildings instead of stock and procedural generated ones. You can get it here.

I was wondering if we could one day have an updated terminal building?
I really like this upgrade and will be downloading it later today!

Hopefully. I am really not good enough to make custom 3D buildings up to a standard I would like though. But hopefully one day we can get some good buildings

I was stationed at nearby NAS Cecil Field for nine years. Just curious about the rack on the tarmac with drop tanks. Does the airport have reserve military stationed there?
