February 22, 20251 yr Author 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 trees popping up everywhere. So, here’s the update of KHQM Vintage Edition free to download for your PC MSFS2020 and MSFS2024: https://flightsim.to/file/62459/bowerman-airport-vintage-edition-khqm Fix compatibility with MSFS2024 (try to) Fix Vegetation (WIP) Fix and replace static aircraft Fix grass textures around apron Fix PAPI runway 24 hidden by vegetation Optimize elevation Vincent B.

February 22, 20251 yr Just lovely... Still (and again) one of my favorite airports to fly out of, in my A36 Bonanza 😊 Thank you! Bert

February 14Feb 14 Author I’m excited to announce the release of v3.0.0 of Bowerman Airport (KHQM), a major update fully compatible with both MSFS2020 and MSFS2024. Available now free for PC at: Bowerman Airport (Vintage edition) (KHQM) for Microsoft Flight Simulator | MSFS What’s new in v3.0.0 The entire airport has been realigned with updated Bing Maps data (ground imagery from both MSFS2020 and MSFS2024). Added missing taxiway centerlines. Updated runway markings to match the latest charts. Rebuilt Lana’s Café with a new structure (the old one was MSFS2024-incompatible). Dozens of small fixes and tweaks that most people will never notice Why Fly Here? Perfect gateway to the stunning Pacific Northwest coast near Seattle, WA, think coastal IFR approaches over Grays Harbor bay, jet-capable ops on the only coastal runway of its kind (5,000 ft with ILS Rwy 24), and endless VFR tours to nearby Aberdeen, Olympic Peninsula, or beach runs along the rugged Washington shore. Grab a virtual bite at (vintage) Lana’s Cafe and explore! Installation notes MSFS2024 users: The .ZIP now includes two folders: vbcorp-airport-khqm-bowerman zzz-vbcorp-airport-khqm-bowerman Please make sure to activate both folders in your Community directory, and keep the name zzz-vbcorp-airport-khqm-bowerman. MSFS2020 users: You can safely ignore the zzz-vbcorp-airport-khqm-bowerman folder. Vincent B.

February 16Feb 16 I've just done a flight from Astoria to Bowerman. I always liked Bowerman in the olden days but new one is outstanding! This maybe my overactive imagination but you can smell the atmosphere. I think I'll go and have a lie down. 😃 The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
