Included in this scenery all buildings are handcrafted, custom ground textures and taxiway lines, internal ATC tower (console provided by UK2K library package that can be downloaded from the sim's market place), open hangars with animated doors (open 6am-11pm), use the yoke to open the doors during hours they are closed. The airport beacon is located on top Mt. Washington Water Tower (39.091321849853735, -84.3875795574233) which is also included in this package, but the beacon is not visible from a distance. The history of this airport goes back a long time and I would advise anyone to read the articles found on search sites.

In an attempt to keep the natural sloping terrain, there are some areas that are uneven and bumpy, but taxiway A, C and the runways are smooth. A decision was made to permanently close runway 3L/21R in July 2024 due to costly upkeep/repairs. 

Cincinnati Municipal Airport – Lunken Field (Cincinnati Municipal Lunken Airport) (IATA: LUK, ICAO: KLUK, FAA LID: LUK) is a public airport in Cincinnati, Ohio, three miles (5 km) east of Downtown Cincinnati. It is owned by the city of Cincinnati and serves private aircraft, including the fleets of local corporations. It serves a few commercial flights and is the second-largest airport serving Cincinnati after Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, which is the area’s primary airport. It is known as Lunken Airport or Lunken Field, after Eshelby Lunken. It is bounded by US Route 50 (historic Columbia Parkway and Eastern Avenue) to the west, US Route 52 (Kellogg Avenue) and the Ohio River to the south, the Little Miami River (which originally flowed through the airfield but was diverted) to the east, and Ohio Route 125 (Beechmont Avenue) to the north. The airport is headquarters and hub for Cincinnati-based public charter airline Ultimate Air Shuttle, serving 5 destinations in the eastern United States with 16 peak daily flights. Lunken is also home to small charter airline Flamingo Air and its aviation school.

KNOWN ISSUES

Fickering external lights on some buildings at certain angles. This is normally caused by the light being too close to the building. I adjusted the distance of the lights from the buildings, but no help.
