Agua Dulce (L70) available for free

[vbazillio 2,234]

Agua Dulce Airpark (ICAO: L70) is a small public-use airport located 35 nm north of Los Angeles. Also known as Agua Dulce Airport, it has one single asphalt paved runway (4/22) measuring 4,600 x 50 ft (1,402 x 15 m). No jet traffic permitted. No ATC, use unicom 122.8, no IFR dep/app and no night operations. But self service fuel is available (only 100LL) and plenty of picnic tables, clean grass and clean bathrooms;) Expect the flight a little bumpy, there are mountains/hills on all sides. It's a challenging approach on gusty days. Use caution for wildlife on/by the runway.

If you want to play as-real-as-it-gets : Agua Dulce airport is open to the public when there are no special events or activities like filming activities, for example "Ford vs Ferrari" in 2019 or the final act of the TV series "Bones". The historic Star Trek movie site "Vasquez Rocks" is just 3nm South-East of the field, passing the freeway 14.

Author's note
As for all of my MSFS mod, this small scenery is made from a pilot-eyes perspective. The scenery is inspired by 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. I did my best based on online video and online pictures available. Hundreds of objects have been added to the default scenery to make in more live and bring a touch of an active area. If you have local pictures to help being more accurate, let me know!

Features

• Add all iconic red wall hangars. Despite being a beginner in Blender, all buildings are handcrafted.
• Some hangars have their door opened
• Add the FBO Agua Dulce Airpark Ranch main building
• Add the (also iconic) fuel station, re-created from scratch in Blender
• Add lLocal signs at holding points
• Add custom windtee (recreated from scratch). Unfortunately, it's inop
• Fix the color of re-asphalted taxiways and runway, add weathered asphalt
• Fix and add correct windsock(s). Unfortunately they aren't of the exact same size and color as the real ones.
• Fix circuit pattern correct position (only on the east side)

Looks great @vbazillio!

Quick question: Does this play nicely with the Big Bear scenery that incorporates your sign and JosueMejia's airfield scenery?
I recall you saying that there may have been a tree issue.

Lovely, thank you, happy to see L70 back to its former (Orbx) self. Just did some flights around, with live weather, the rain was pouring over the airfield 😄 !

This is what I notice on my setup and it's listed on the "Known Bugs and Limitation" (See these pics https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/628700-l70-agua-dulce-wip-god-helps-those-who-help-themselves/?do=findComment&comment=4901586). I have asked the author of the bundle (Big Bear airport + Lake) if he knows how to solve the issue : when active, there's no autogen vegetation at L70. By the way @F737MAX, do you have free time to double check my analysis?

Sorry, simple case of me not following RTFM…!

I will perform some tests later this evening or tomorrow and get back to you.

This sign is on the ground and not 1 meter up as it should be... Will investigate 😉
