Jordan Gough Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Welcome to L05 Kern Valley Airport for FTX Southern California! At the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Kern Valley is a small airport with a big view. With on-site camping and cafe, it is the perfect destination for a quick $100 hamburger or weekend away. If pavement is not your preferred landing surface, Lake Isabella is a fantastic base for float flying or you could even try and put it down in the river running beside the airport! Kern Valley's 3,500ft runway will hold up to PC-12/B350 sized aircraft, which is a fantastic challenge approaching from the north where the surrounding peaks up to 6,500ft. Features: 250 square kilometers of 80cm photoreal imagery 30 square kilometers of 30cm high resolution imagery High resolution buildings Mountainous terrain with peaks up to 6,500ft only miles from the airport Over 70 custom models built from photos of the real aerodrome Sharp 5m Mesh making the mountains pop Screenshots: Coverage Area Hope you all enjoy!

Vora Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Finally back to business Very nice. I've been riding along the southern shore of Lake Isabella during a road trip. I was astonished how dry this area was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianV Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Beautiful work and news. I have been longing for new small ORBX airfields, and this one definitely ticks the box of what I like the most. A great base to fly up towards Yosemite and explore SCA. If memory doesn't fool me I think you also made the Sequim valley airport which is one of my all times favorites, having visited it later in real life too and it was spot on with the real thing! This may well be my first purchase for P3D v4 specifically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward, Michael Thanks for (continually) beating the same drum Michael, we hear you loud and clearly, but it won't change any outcome. We actually have two OF projects going on in parallel - the outsourced one and a brand new 64-bit Orbx-owned version being coded in-house (to prevent these sorts of delays).

Jack Sawyer Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Excellent Jordan! I'd buy it right now but it's not on Orbx Direct yet, I just looked. So I suppose this is a sneak preview? No matter, when it's ready I'm adding it to my every-increasing list of Orbx airports. You did a splendid job, and I had to laugh out loud at the dog sign! Attention dogs.....This is why I love the detail in Orbx's stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabs79 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 That is so funny, I'm on vacation California at the moment, and just five days ago I passed through Kernville on my way to Sequoia NP. When I saw the airport I thought that it would make a nice ORBX airport. And here we go. Cheers, Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jocko Flocko Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Love this airport, absolutely awesome with great performance. I'm really looking forward to more Southern California airports similar or like this one in size, I really like the atmosphere. There's so many real life air strips in socal that it boggles the mind, that said, the amount of highly detailed ground imagery available shouldn't be a factor in the Southern California FTX region -unlike other regions you guys have had to deal with Great product, looks and runs fantastic.
