A member request that will take some time. A lot of hangars and buildings and very little reference material. If anyone knows where I can find actual images from ground level, I would appreciate it.

In setting up the AFCAD I noticed that the default airports runway was actually 1300' shorter than it should be. Something I normally don't run into to, but it's been corrected.

The runway was extended two summers ago. All the added length was on the north end to allow some jet traffic there.

I live about 3 miles off the end of runway 1 so I'll grab some photos as soon as I can this week. I'll be working south tomorrow but should be back working the Middlebury area Wednesday.

One of the cooler aircraft based at Middlebury is a Fouga Magister in a Patrouille de France paint scheme.

Yea I thought that's what I was seeing on the aerial photos. I can probably come up with something for that I imagine. As for the photos, that would be great. . .as many as you can get. I still have work to do on the ramp and runway markings as well as placing the autogen so plenty of time.

Got some rather crappy photos with my cell this afternoon. Weather is practically IFR minimums to even drive so they are slightly hazy. currently syncing them from my phone to the pc. as soon as I get them uploaded I'll get something posted.

I was a bit rushed so I inadvertently skipped the parking lot at J&M Aviation services This is the back of the "BIG" hangar which is the paint shop. Large enough to paint a PA-42 Cheyenne no problem.

Holy Crudbuckets..... WOW! Looks awesome.

On green Mtn Avionics, this is a close up of the man door next to the small overhead door next to the hangar door. Bill is a former Marine, hence the marine parking sign.

Thanks for that last pic Brian. From a distance I had assumed the hangars were red corrugated metal. . . .obviously not the case. Good to know as they are next to be built.

A few more pics of the J&M Hangar. . .about time to move to the next ones.

The two Green Mtn Avionics hangars are sheathed in plywood and strapping and stained red. The bifold doors are white corrugated metal.

Ed,

In "Sketchup Textures" you can get free downloads of damaged or patched concrete that you can add and then create the areas like they appear in the real photos. I have in the past also added them to the gp textures in ADEx and used them. Sometimes they work better in Sketchup though.

Thanks! Here is the current view with all hangars from the LM Hangar south. I have 5 hangars to the north still to complete. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52681073149_6f5873bb50_k.jpg (https://www.flickr.com/gp/157601388@N02/4t0bzjYHnD)6B0_Current-2023-feb-10-001 (https://www.flickr.com/gp/157601388@N02/4t0bzjYHnD) by Ed Wells (https://www.flickr.com/photos/157601388@N02/), on Flickr

Glad you like it Brian! I plan on doing an "enhanced" update package with people and grass in a few days for anyone who wants it. Sometimes the grass and people adds a bit more fps hit for those with older 'puters.

Might just be my setup but I am getting some hangar floor flickering... Maybe the open door hangars need to move up vertically a hair?

Great scenery. People and grass working well. I too have one hangar floor with a shimmer and looks like another missing a texture?

Sorry Brian, actually I do that as a part of the placement (raise it slightly until I see the entire floor, without the ground showing through). The hangars that are open normally have a solid floor (auto_platform in MCX) so that if you taxi into the hangar the wheels don't sink. I don't think that should have any affect on the shimmer though.

That hangar is part of the "2020_Misc_Hangars.bgl" and I included only the textures for that hangar rather than the 10 or so that are actually part of that library. I'll check on it.

Well, it seems I did not include "both" hangars textures so I am going to pull the remaining textures necessary and make them available. I apologize for the oversight.

This one is quickly becoming my favorite FSX small airport. Original airport, enhancements and hangar textures all installed and looking great !

Thank-you, Ed, for bringing it into the flightsim world.

It's the best and most rewarding freeware addon in a long time. Hangar textures installed - thanks again.

Hi Brian,

I am using P3Dv5 and I solved the floor flickering just by "rising" the airfield altitude by 1 foot (using ADE).

Hope this help.

And a BIG thank you to Ed for all these sceneries - I am a lover :) and collector of his small airfield and airport.
