2S1 - Vashon Municipal Airport
Vashon Municipal Airport is a small airport located on Vashon Island, only a few miles from downtown Seattle. It has a single grass runway which is only 2001x60ft / 610x18 m. It is open to the public however does not have any fuel services on site.
Features (1.0):
- Retextured the runway grass and some roads
- Custom 3D models for the hangars and airport sign
- Handplaced a lot of static objects and added a windsock
- Corrected the location of trees and bushes
- Added parking locations
- Added runway lights
*stealth patched the windsock blowing in the wrong direction on 1/24/22
Known Issues:
- The runway lights are green in real life but for now I have to leave them as blue lights in the sim
- There are areas where grass looks like it should be generated but it isn't. This has to do with the sim AI detecting a road and forcing no grass to be generated. This is something that cannot be overwritten through the scenery editor unfortunately.

It’s a good thing my virtual pilot can afford to operate them all because I can barely afford a rental irl hahaha

Thanks, nice airfield! A lot of memories with the freeware of ORBX on FSX. So happy to find a well done scene of Vashon.
The windsock points a wrong direction, can you check here to solve the windsock issue:

Same, the free Vashon scenery in FSX was my go to. I can patch the windsock soon. The default object rotation accidentally got set to 180 degrees instead of 0.
