USA East Coast 1935

(c) 2023 bagolu

This is an MSFS 2020 mod to go along withREDWING 1935 airports :

• it adds new airstrips that existed in 1935
• it modifies existing airports to their configuration from 1935
• it removes existing airports not yet built in 1935

DOCUMENTATION

Basic documentation is included in the package.

Additionaly, I’ve made a map with radio navigation facilities from ElectronVolt’s addon for that region.
You can download it on my website : in png format or pdf format

INSTALL PROCEDURE

1. Ensure you own and have installed the corresponding Redwing airports. See Airfield list for each requirement.
2. Remove by hand existing installations of this mod from your community directory.
3. According to your needs, put the directories from the zip in your community directory :
   - bagolu-add-older-airports-usa-east-coast-1935
     if you want airstrips from 1935 not existing in MSFS
   - bagolu-remove-modern-airports-usa-east-coast-1935
     if you want to remove existing airports in MSFS that were not built yet in 1935
   - bagolu-replace-modern-airports-usa-east-coast-1935
     if you want to replace existing airports in MSFS that were built in 1935 with their (smaller) configuration in 1935
4. Relaunch MSFS.
5. The Documents directory contains airports maps

NB : It's better to use a mod manager if you like to alternate modern and 30's environment.
