  • This v2.0.0 was one of the trickiest update to MSFS2024. Nor only the bing satellite imagery in MFS2024 is really offset compared to MSFS2020 but the MSFS2024 vegetation is really painful with huge tr

Beautiful work as always, thank you!

I'm one of the "older" simmers that spent a lot of time here with the ORBX version in FSX and P3D...this is like a nice homecoming 🙂

Thanks for this Vincent. You've done a great job on a wonderful little airport. I remember with fond memories flying from here regularly with the Orbx version in P3d. A great area of the world to fly VFR.

I think there is grass growing in the hangar floor hehe.  Normally it would be concrete.

Are we talking of the same opened doors hangar? I fixed that in the v1.1.

If you have the "ELEV.14" sign introduced in 1.1, then the grass should be off.

Great idea, thanks! I totally forgot to add one or two. I was influence by the Google Map and Bing map. The Apple Map displays 4 or 5 planes at apron. Done deal!

Already version 1.2 ! Thanks for the hard work ! 🙂

One question: if I remember correctly, the old OrbX scenery had quite a few bushes here and there, on the border of the hangars and taxiways and such... I don't remember precisely though. Was this realistic, compared to how the actual airport really looks ?
