Introduction:
Thank you for downloading our scenery - version 1.1
It is my favorite airport in the USA. Therefore, I have decided to share this scenery with you.
The aim of this project was to create the most reliable scenery of Sandpoint Airport (Idaho - USA) near town Sandpoint using only 3D objects from the Asobo / Microsoft library. But the airport has longer and wider RWY, wider Taxiways, Tower and Ground frequencies, Terminal and one fictional airline called "Jenny Air" with a terminal and stands. Now is possible to operate the CRJ-500/700 from this airport safely. To complete the atmosphere, ware used objects from Daves 3D people library with the written consent of the author. You can find his and library name in the "Installation" section. Many thanks to him for his work. Paragraph "Acknowledgments".
Version 1.1 includes: fixed runway markings, rubberized runway 02/20, in front of the hangar and at the Kodiak Aircraft Company stands, the real Kodiaks are already standing there, Lake Pend Oreille railway bridge and some roads around the airport.
Scenery description:
The basis of this scenery is an ortho photo map. It has been retouched in color to better fit the Bing map used in the MSFS. The scenery covers the airport area. Also my custom textures ware used.
Installation:
To view all objects, please at first download, unzip and copy to the “Community” folder in your MSFS:
1.) Dave's 3D People Library: https://flightsim.to/file/5452/dave-s-3d-people-library
Installation procedure:
1.) Delete, or backup the old version 1.0 of the airport from the Community folder.
2.) Unzip the file: „FP_KSZT_Sandpoint-airport_v1.1“ for example to the desktop.
3.) Folders: „fps-kszt-airport“ and „fps-kszt-airport-ortho“ copy to the "Community" folder in your MSFS.
Enjoy flying over Sandpoint, IDAHO.
I highly recommend:

a) can not be found on the Scenery map
b) can not be found via search bar.
Maybe it is because that underscores in the name? And check if coordinates is entered, so it can go to Scenery map.

A quick question: Is the ortho still needed since the second USA world update?
FlyingPartnersSK author
Hello. You can try to delete folder "fps-kszt-airport-ortho" from your community and check it in MSFS. Martin, FPS

Nice work on the scenery! I used to have my plane based there and really enjoyed flying around the area. Getting to fly around in MSFS really makes me feel nostalgic. I appreciate your work.
FlyingPartnersSK author
Thank you very much. I'm glad you like the scenery. You don't even know how much I would like to visit Sandpoint in person;) At least so virtual :) Martin, FPS

this a great job on this scenery, love to fly this part of Idaho. I've put in request for up by Priest lake, Coure d'Alane,Cavenaugh Bay, Haden lake and all the float plane docks up there. I've been trying to learn how to do this on my own, google earth has some great data up there I just haven't figured out the SDK and how to make it work.
Are you going to do anymore Idaho scenery ?
FlyingPartnersSK author
Hello.
Thank you very much for your positive feedback. Now we are focus for payware sceneries of Slovakia airports. Anyway we would like to make some US airports including Priest lake - Cavanaugh Bay airport. If we want to create quality project is neccesary to have quality photos of airport buildings. And this is problem. We are from Slovakia. If it were possible to get photos of airports legally, that would be great.

I don't believe Rwy 02 has an approach light system (ALS)?
The airport charts only show runway lights, REIL, and PAPI.

FlyingPartnersSK author
I greet you too;) Of course I know about that. I always study the original documentation for my projects first. But I wanted to have PAPI4, a longer and wider RWY and Taxiways. Also approach lights and so on. For this reason, I also wrote it in the readme / manual / that it is partly a fictive airport. Martin, FPS
