[Freeware] El Cajon Gillespie Field, CA (KSEE)

[vbazillio 2,397]

Gillespie Field (ICAO:KSEE) is a county-owned public towered airport, 12 miles northeast downtown San Diego and the beach in California. The airport is mostly used for general aviation, with 3 runways. Gillespie is the home of San Diego Air & Space Museum Annex, the ASTREA (the air support unit of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department) and a dozen of other businesses and flight clubs/schools like my club Plus One Flyers.

As for all of my MSFS mod, this small scenery is made from a pilot-eyes perspective. In real, I'm a Plus One Flyers member and mostly fly from Montgomery Field but Gillespie is one of the fourth base. I'm real PPL but a rookie amateur scenery developer: this mod is made with 99% of MSFS default objects library and feature massive number of details. The scenery is inspired by some of my personal videos and pictures, but mostly by high resolution aerial views from Bing and Google maps. It's a mix between the satellite imagery displayed from MSFS and more accurate data found on Internet. 1800+ objects have been added to the default scenery to make in more live and bring a touch of an active area.

Features

• Taxiways : all corrected and fixed
  • 150+ taxiway signs : complete redesign, correct name according to last charts, add some of the two sided taxiway sign, example at D5).
  • Taxiway lines: complete redesign, position and correct, add "center line enhanced" represented 1400+ taxiway paths. 
• Buildings: all airport hangars/FBO's and buildings have been replaced by MSFS objects library: Speer Hangar Assoc, Allen Airways Flying Museum, California Flight Academy, American Aviation Academy, SAA (Scandinavian Aviation Academy), ASTREA, Golden State Flying Club, Safari Aviation, Southern Cal Aircraft, High Performance Aircraft, Terminal, S.D Aerospace Museum, Circle Air, El Cajon Pilot Supply..
• Fences: 90% of external fences and gates.
• Ground markings:
  • Big TAXI yellow ground markings to avoid confusion with runways 27R and 27L and handcrafted (amateur) red intersection runway.
  • Helipads at Mercy Air and on the transient apron north of the Terminal.
  • Reveal of Compass Rose west of the field on D1
• Windsocks: correct placement and addition
• Night blue light poles: remove the maximum of undesired extra poles

More than 150 taxiway signs...

Requests

I need you : there're several specific signs on taxiways that I found like "ATC NON VISUAL AREA", "Be a Good Neighbor". These make the scenery unique and I look for others I was unable to identify. If you have pictures, feel free to share with me! The tower is the autogenerated MSFS one: if you want to build a (light) blender object... you are welcome!

Thank you! The coverage of SD area is quite full. We have the LatinVFR of the international KSAN, Palomar KCRQ of Dreamflight, my modest part for KMYF Montgomery, KRNM Ramona and KSEE Gillespie. Who is going to build Brown field KSDM ? 😉

Just incredible work. Sadly I'm currently at work so I'll have to wait a few more hours before I can get this airport installed and do some flights.

@vbazillio Thank you for sharing your hard work with us.

Thanks Bob Maxwell seems not too be too big. More time to put fences than working on runway 😉 Maybe after Brown Field? Do you have useful materials to share? For example, these signs on holding point 24 as seen from Bing Map Birds eyes view mode ?

@vbazillio Great work on the airport! Have you tried it with the SU10 beta? I'm not sure if the beta is to blame or something else, but the default buildings aren't getting excluded on my install. I also don't see a yellow star on the World Map with the airport installed (which usually indicates a custom airport). I don't have this problem with KRNM, interestingly enough. I've tried removing a couple other scenery add-ons in the area, ensured all official content is up to date, and cleared my content.xml.

Great job again Vincent!  It's amazing it's almost all default objects!  Looks very believable!
