You are, indeed, a lucky man Rob. My dad died sometime between 9 November and 11 November 1942 on Guadalcanal. I was born on 23 December. I served in the Corps from 1960 to 1964. Both of my sons have served also. Semper Fi my friend.............Doug
Thanks Doug, I served from '67-'71 but my Dad, like yours was the real hero. Hats off to your Dad, sorry you didn't get to know him. Thank you for your service.

All looks green to me. Fixes are in place and I'm seeing the same as John B. I read that you have the fix for the C172 not being able to use the Nav switch to open the hangar door so once that's in place it's good to go. I live about 30 miles from Hayfork and have been there many times. Your scenery captures the area well and has many extra features to add value, like the 4x4 run up Hayfork Bally and the 101 start option.

My Dad was a Marine in the S Pacific (Kiribati, Guadacanal, Gilberts) and I was lucky he made it back to start a family. Between being a Marine and a Deputy Sherriff I had a strong foundation and love him for that. Had him until I was 63 so am truly blessed. I served from '67-'71 and lost friends that can't be replaced. Still, I'm not bitter and look at each day as a gift. I feel for anyone losing a father at such a young age or not knowing them at all. That hurts, but yes, love fills the hole.

So close to clipping that last building! Glad all are safe.

It was either parking 6 or 8. I'll go have a second look.

Went through the change log and can confirm that almost all items are indeed fixed now.
The ILS brings me down the centerline with both Navigraph info and default. My only issue is that I couldn't get the vertical navigation part of the GS working, if indeed it's available. Probably my fault not working the autopilot correctly.
The only thing that seems not fixed is the taxiway names removed. I requested rwy 19 departure and was given the A B A B routing.
Not sure that it's a show stopper though.
Changelog:
Parking 6 and 8 do not have centerline lights - Fixed
ok Floating crates - Fixed
ok Flashing strobes on RWY 01 - Fixed
ok RWY 01 Approach Lights - Fixed (the one that matches closest to the real thing)
ok RWY 19 Approach Lights have changed completely the system because it was wrong
Taxiway names were removed to avoid ATC problems
ok Gates are now from GATE_SMALL to GATE_MEDIUM to accept aircrafts like A320/B737
ok The edge lights area is extended
ok Some of the parking is repositioned to avoid spawning into the grass or out of place
ok Fence gap behind the big hangar near the terminal - Fixed
ok The intensity of the light of one of the buildings that had a very high intensity of simlight - Fixed
ILS GlideSlope is correct it is checked from a few different computers.
ok The glass color on the terminal is much darker to achieve a more realistic lookUninstalled the Navigraph data and made an approach to rwy 19. PFD shows I'm on the GS but the PAPI shows I'm low. If I follow it to the ground it lands me on top of the lights, short of the runway. I realize IRL I wouldn't allow the AP to do this past the DH.
ATC sent me to Gate 18.
-
Just made the approach to rwy 19 and it brought me down right here. This is with Navigraph active. I can try with default if you want.
-
With as many aircraft parts I left on the ground while testing all of these great strips I'm surprised y'all found any way to land at all!

Checked again Teo and the green centerline lights I saw earlier are gone! Reloaded the sim and went back to rwy 19 again and it's still all good. Very nice work and one of the best terminal interiors ever, also the exterior land side of the terminal really gives the illusion of a busy airport true to what you would see.

Wishing you a very happy Birthday!

Thanks Adam, listened to them all. Chris is always good but I was surprised at Swims, didn't know him but he does a great job.

All good points and I love the positive attitudes displayed by such a diverse bunch of simmers from all over the world. Brian pretty much sums up my way of living/thinking. I try to see things as a glass half full instead of half empty.
Funny you bring this up Rodger as just this afternoon I was washing my travel trailer, listening to the birds with new babies, soaking up the sunshine and cool breezes and wondering how I deserved such a wonderful life.

Not sure the new files are on OC yet. I'm still seeing green lights going down the rwy centerline.
Boxes close to the airside of the terminal still floating.
The missing textures (showing pink) are fixed so I must have new files.
Approach lights look ok at rwy 01
A main road leading into the airport has blue lights down the center as if they are taxiway edge lights. Not real, right?
-
Installed to outside Library with no issues.
Performance is excellent with High setting.
Airport blends in well with the surrounding area and has many nice features.
Just starting to get familiar with this airport but a few initial findings:
Although the jetways work well there is no support for pushback, necessary for most aircraft here. I see a pushback tug and the option to request one, but when I do I'm told no tug is available!
Seemed strange to see an Air New Zealand taxing out but probably not the developers issues.
On the world menu I selected gate 1B but on the ground and on the building is labeled as B1
This area with the soil mounds could use a loader or other earth moving equipment to make it look more realistic.
Looks like this spot should have flags. You can see their shadows.
Start is to the right of centerline on 34R. I still have to check the others.
Signs on both sides seem to be missing proper textures so far.
There are a number of street lights that are casting shadows but there's no 3D light poles or lights models.
John or Matt will know better than me but shouldn't the reference to 16L not be on this sign?

Listening now, awesome!
Who has the best solo guitar of Tennessee Whiskey that you know of Adam?

The hat looks awesome Ken! Also reminds me of reading the book "Once they were Hats" you suggested. Enjoyed that book and passed it on to my granddaughter that just graduated from U of Washington in Environmental Sciences. She liked it as well.

Yes it was loud when it passed over and made the drop but strangely as I saw it approaching it was eerily quiet...then BAM

Installed RC1 with no issues.
Performance is still excellent.
Checked the change log and items I posted in beta 1 were fixed
Antennae textures
Floating boxes/pallets (some still floating near terminal reported already)
Taxiway edge lights and green centerline lights still need to be fixed.
Localizer without using Navigraph is still to the left.
Would still love to see the lady in white dress not floating above the bench.
Pink (missing textures) on my end as well.
Missing fence panel
This small building seems to have overly bright lights
Certainly not a showstopper but not fond of these msfs orb lights
With weather set ahead of time to favor rwy 19 departure ATC correctly gave me 19 and proper taxiway routing to 19. However the blue guide lines went to rwy 10
