Love that static Stearman. Didn't get a look at the Cal Fire helo but that could just be my settings.

"Unfortunately", the Huey with the Cal Fire livery that you see on my screen shots is not a static. It's free helicopters : https://flightsim.to/file/24881/uh-1h-huey-iroquois-wip that I use just to make a screen shot.

Ah, that would explain it. Looked good in the screenshots though, so a good choice for that.

Version 1.1 with new textures for the Airport Café and a sign at the road entrance, thanks to D.Bawin who shared real local pic

 

Oh my, that's a great piece of wood texture and modelling Vincent. Well done.

Cool! My amateur'ish work is featured by flightsim.to!

Your airports are a labor of love. Well done!

Thanks very much for this - excellent scenery!

I tried an approach onto RW17 - it's very tight isn't it!? This was in the WBSim Cessna 152. Landed fine and stopped before the parking but wondering if real-world aircraft tend to use the opposite RW35 as the approach is a bit wider. Any idea? I'll keep using it for practising touch-and-goes in my smaller fleet of aircraft.

I do know that the sectional chart denotes right traffic for runway 17.  So youd want to enter the pattern first and probably not come over that ridge hehe.

Thanks for checking! Yes I did a right hand circuit back onto 17. I was a bit wary about the approach as steeper turns at slow-speed are not a particularly "good thing". I don't even know if MS2024 models the bank angle/stall speed changes. Maybe it doesn't but it's nice to do it properly in the sim anyway😁

It coud be windy there. I just flew once there (IRL) and entered right traffic 17 at the field elevation + 1'000 ft and... next time I'll take +1'500ft 😉

And I even not thou

"Stopped before the parking" ? Runway is 3'500ft, it should be way enough for the WB-SIM 152, no ?
