• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Natural flat land is nonexistent in this area, and the airport sits on an area that was created by mountaintop coal mining. The runway is a mere 2,556 feet long, with sharp 200ft+ drop offs on each end. There is zero tolerance for error here.

The airfield is surprisingly well kept, the pavement on both the runways and aprons is immaculate, with clear visible markings and new lighting.

The hangars aren't much to look at... they are some of the oldest examples of T-hangars around. Sizable trees are growing through the door of one of the vacant bays. A small office sits in the corner of the brown hangar, but don't expect to find an attendant here, or fuel or any other service for that matter.

What you see is what you get. This little piece is so obscure, you'll never find anyone that has taken time to devote some effort into making even the most basic scenery for it. Until now!

The FSX Grundy is surpridingly accurately positioned, just that the apron is a little larger than the real one.

 
In my experiences with FSX, most airports are accurately positioned as far as their runways go, but everything else is off.

With the default GDY, there seems to have been some confusion as to what was an overrun and what was a displaced threshold. On every chart I can find, it is listed as a displaced threshold, when it's actually a short overrun pad with yellow chevrons.
