January 6, 20242 yr “Flying over, or driving by on Interstate 8, you might miss tiny Jacumba. But hundreds of soaring enthusiasts know the airport and some even know where the town is. However, few people know what Jacumba is all about. On weekends you’ll find sail planes being towed aloft to catch the thermals, with pilots who savor the solitude and challenge of powerless flight. During the week the airport is quiet, inhabited by hawks and their prey.” Source: County of San Diego Free to download for PC: https://flightsim.to/file/66976/jacumba-airport-l78 Features Terraforming to level and match elevation + relief of the area Add the Solar farm and the Powerplant of the Jacumba Valley Ranch Energy Park Add winch(s) for gliders Add the border wall ;( Add small specific signs (and some “Help wanted”) Add static gliders on apron Remove several erroneous buildings on hills around the field Replace the runway marking with custom one (bigger numbers) Fix vegetation at close proximity of the field A lot of correction on ground textures More info for pilots Field elevation is 2844 feet MSL, CTAF on 122.900, no services available, runway 07-25 is an asphalt of 2562 x 60 feet (781 x 18 meters).

January 7, 20242 yr yup, same feeling here, i have downloaded several of your airports and they are all fantastic, great job and thanks for sharing 👍
January 7, 20242 yr Merci Vincent, 👍 Beatiful Airports!! 😃 as another poster said.. +1 wow another beatifully crafted gem of freeware!! Thanks so Much! How I really wished that you and other talentented users/creators could be used or included as custom Terminal or airport buildings in the New Microsoft upcoming MSFS-2020 FREWARE *Scenery Gateway* It will really be limiting for airport editing "if the only thing" you can use is default assets.. (included with the game) Best regards Rune ENHD Edited January 7, 20242 yr by Rune-ENHD Adding info
