Friday at 05:53 AM5 days Hi folks,KGOO is finally in final testing. I have been working on this one since May, when I started on the other Californian gold country airports. Progress was slow at first until I got the terraforming challenges solved.Not only is this a cool little airport, but it's one of the ones General Chuck Yeager regularly flew out of in the last 40 or so years of his life, as he lived near Grass Valley. Some of you might be familiar with blancolirio, the Youtuber and former AAL B777 pilot. He is also based at KGOO and his videos got me really enthused to do a proper version of the Cal-Fire base.Cal-Fire baseFBO area and Gen. Yeager memorialAlso fixed some of the usual issues, like incorrect taxiway names, incorrect lighting, and added industrial facilities on rwy 7 end, the fly-in community on rwy 25 end, and the Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital landmark on rwy 7 approach.P.S. I have my pine trees downsized in FS because they are often too big, but the real KGOO has pretty much a wall of trees along the north runway periphery. In MSFS24 I don't have tree height modified, and the tree wall looks more like the actual KGOO, as it should Edited Friday at 05:55 AM5 days by Nandengo12

So much rich flying in this part of California...BTW do you have AI traffic off? When I was testing in 24 there were usually 12-15 or so AI planes parked on the ramp.
