Sutter County Airport (O52) is located approximately 40 miles north of Sacramento.
The airport is located at the center of one of the most detailed game areas. The map elevation and photogrammetry in this area is very detailed and makes for very scenic flights from San Jose to the Mendocino National Forest and Lake Tahoe / Reno, perfect for low and slow airplanes with large windows.
Sutter County Airport has been redone from scratch using information from multiple sources. The missing Papi2 has been restored, the runway has been redone using ground data profile, taxiway lighting has been restored (in reality they should be reflective instead of taxi-lights but MSFS does not support this right now) and night lighting has been added.
Yuba City Airport, which is just 3nm away, has been improved as well although it is not a complete airport overhaul as Sutter County. IFR pilots will find a full complement of approaches at Yuba City (KMYV)
Both airports are immersed in a photogrammetry rich area, as a result, I didn't touch/edit the surrounding buildings.
Be sure to visit Sutter Buttes, also known as the "world smallest mountain range", it is greatly modeled. It is also interesting to note that Sutter County was home to John Joseph Montgomery, a relatively unknown aviation pioneer.

Thanks for doing these. For a while now there are no parked planes at Yuba County KMYV. I have planes parked at Sutter and all other fields. I can't figure out if I changed something of what?
