Placerville airport is located in the heart of the Sierra Nevada foothills and a common plan B for pilot diverting when Lake Tahoe is not accessible. The airport is located on top of a bluff, so you can practice your aircraft carrier landings. There’s a lot of parking spaces and a very practicable fueling island. EAA Chapter 512 as well as Skywagons (aircraft sales and brokerage) are hosted at the field. You can also have a look at inside the Ragtime Aero hangars. Placerville Airport is free to download : https://flightsim.to/file/67811/placerville-airport-kpvf

Features v1.0

• Huge amount of work on elevation of the whole airport but also on small areas around and inside the perimeter
• Hard work blending all revised new airport textures with the underlying satellite images
• All fences around the airport (thanks to vectorplacement SDK features)
• Add specific taxiway signs (noise abatement extrapolated from ground charts, if you have their exact meanings let me know)
• Add Helipad H1 located on north side of runway 05 end
• Add the Hangtown VOR-DME (objects)
• Add the Windtee customized for KPVF and the weather sensors
• Add thousand of small objects to make the airport a more living and immersive environment. Mostly with stocked objects which requires no 3rd party library installation except World Updates. See requirements below.
• Add several open hangars (with some jewels inside) replacing AI generated.
• My scenery works better in daylight: invite yourself to the EAA - Chapter 512 summer meeting. Don’t forget to bring deserts, Chapter provides hot dog and hamburgers
• Special attention to buildings : EAA Chapter 512, Ragtime Aero and Skywagons.com
• Fix the 4-box VASI runway 5
• Fix the 2-light PAPI runway 23
• Fix the airport beacon tower
• Fix windsock position
• (WIP) Fix taxiway signs. If you know how taxiway name are layed out, drop me a message and I’ll fix them.

Looks very nice!

I'll download the next time I'm on flightsim.to.

 

Vbazillio, your Grace knows no bounds. Thank you once again!

Awesome, another gem for the collection, thank you

Thank you. I have a question. Are the people stock items and if so, I assume these are from the world MSFS updates? I do not have all the updates installed and do not see the library of people when creating my scenery.

Yes. Some statics are from World Update USA. Check object name "kbid_workers_x" and "kbid_people_xxxxx". Animated people are object named "LSZO_einzelperson_" from the Game Of The World (GOTY) edition which includes a free LSZH.

Vincent,

Thank you for sharing this.

It's a beauty ❤️

Another masterpiece!

What a nice surprise, I remember loving the place in the P3D era, even though it was just an "enhanced" airport as part of Orbx's NCA region. With your rendition, it's really a dream come true. Thanks!

Awesome rendition of the airport!

 

I particularly liked the help wanted sign...

 

Thanks showing me the people location for placement in the scenery editor. I found all of the standing people in KBID and LSZA. Can you direct me to the sitting ones?  

Thanks for the scenery.  I just checked it out yesterday.  What a beautiful area to fly in/near!

Just did a flight into here this morning. Great scenery and excellent work! Thank you for continuing to put out high quality freeware for the community to use!

Thank you all for your messages and feedback. Glad this work finds its target!
