Version 2.9.3 now available

• Fix and enhanced taxiway signs on L, B, H
• Update San Diego Fire Rescue Dpt Aviation Unit (north of the field)
• Several other minor fixes here and here
• (per request on flightsim.to) 1st improvement grass/bush between threshold 28L/28R

Are there any open hangars?  They just show so much more life.  Do not see any in all the screenies.

Nope. There's none in this scenery. Could be a good idea for future improvement 😉 although I prefer a closed hangar than an opened one... empty 😉

Wow. I did not say empty open hangars. Here is the sense of life I mentioned.  KBMG by Greg Daniels, on TO.  KESN by Jim Brown I believe has a couple of open hangars with contents.  Just a suggestion.  To many of the 300+ addon USA airports I have flown to have good looking structures and some have static aircraft.  Others add static cars,  Too few add some aviation life like this.

I know, I know 😉 Don't forget my Kern Valley scenery (see pic below). All this is (extra) (free) work 🙂

To match the real marking of runways, I had to redo the numbers and markings manually. For example, runway 28 aiming point and touchdown zone are only visible on runway 28R and not on 10L. This work made me enhanced and fix also some taxiways and the underlying texture of runways 28/10.

• Total manually rework 5/23 runway (bigger numbers and fix underlaying textures)
• Total manually rework 10R/28L (bigger numbers and fix underlaying textures)
• Total manually rework 10L/28R (bigger numbers and fix underlaying textures)
• Fix a lot of taxiway lines to match reality and underlying satellite image
• Add soil patches on run-up 28R and 28L

Update 1.2.6 adds the new animated all orange windsock. Including a small one at San Diego Police Department Air Support Unit. As usual, free to download https://flightsim.to/file/5856/montgomery-gibbs-exec-airport-taxiway-fix-and-many-more

Your sceneries are absolutely stunning. I'm a transplant from Ohio, and your sceneries make it an adventure flying from one to another. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you for your support! It's the fuel to update all my sceneries and maybe creates some others new 😉

My first and oldest airport scenery gains a new update available now! Version 2.9.8 includes:

• Replace signs “HELP Wanted” on taxiway Juliet with the real one. Thanks to Max G. for providing real local photos.
• Delete wrong or outdated "Help Wanted on G1 and transient parking.
• Major rebuild of the south east apron that was forgotten during initial dev and deserves better attention
• Replace wrong hangar type with proper shelters on east side (requires free/stock MSFS KNFL).
• Add several static aircraft to replace default MSFS (all free thanks to Helijah/E.Baranger)

The v1 was only a taxiway fix freeware and was released in January 2021. 3+ years ago! Thru comments and some private messages, you requested some fine tuning, bug fixes and you even shared your own pictures taken on the real location to make our freeware even more better 😉 THANKS TO THE FLIGHT SIM COMMUNITY!

Thank YOU!

Thank you Vincent.

Vincent, you are a legend...it's people such as your self that makes this community so amazing. 

One more update available v2.9.9. Certainly the last one for MSFS2020. Hoping my amateur work will work in MSFS2024 without too much tuning. As I don’t have access to the Tech.Alpha (I’m not under the MS/Asobo radar and not on Market Place), I have zero info on compatibility of my almost twenty sceneries

We’ll see. For now, enjoy this big update for MSFS2020:

• Add new details at CoastAir FBO.
• Add Corporate Helicopters building signs, details and helipad.
• Add night lights ambiance all around the airport.
• Add the “94th Aero Squadron Restaurant” close to runway 23 threshold
• Rebuild the west area, above the Sheraton hotel.
• Rebuild all (really all) blue taxiway poles. Let me know if there’s still something weird.
• Rebuild perimeter fences.
• Correctly position the airport rotating beacon.
• Fix Car Parking superfluous.
• and many fixes other minor bugs.
