Marina Municipal (KOAR) Early Testing

Featured Replies

Hello friends,

Just sharing a few early tests for KOAR, another fun coastal airport in California, formerly the airfield of Fort Ord. It is now a GA field with significant facilities for Joby Aviation.

This airport is fun because it is just a few minutes' flight from KSNS, KMRY, and KWVI, all of which are well covered by other developers. There will be a lot more to do on this one, so these are just some early tests. MSFS doesn't have Monterey cypress trees common to the area, so I made a batch. If they look too strange please let me know.

A lot of progress made. Fencing, utilities, lots more trees, airfield clutter, new hangar models, and distinctive local streetlights added. Need to test in MSFS24 next. I'm having to use TAA at the moment, the buildings look better in DLSS.

Excellent, looks great. And I can finally say 'looks great' as I can now see the images 🙂

Yes, it really looks good! I wished I could do scenery design.

Sent this thread to my brother in law and he said he thought you’d nailed it. He was an exec there before having to leave due to health issue in the last year. He loved it there. Said he was in the white building with the two attached buildings.

Awesome, thank you for the feedback. I don't know anyone at JA, but an old friend lives in Santa Cruz and went down to take a few reference pics for me. It's a very interesting little airport for sure!

I added a small VFR enhancement to the Monterey area and also updated the KOAR scenery with an improved model for one hangar users said wasn't looking good.
It is unfortunate actual PG has not been added to this region in any of the WUs, so for now this is a stopgap.
