Upgrade airfield & scenery for KEFK Newport State Airport, Vermont, USA.
Also known as Northeast Kingdom International Airport. In 2015 the airport was renamed from Newport State to Northeast Kingdom International Airport and the name change was accepted by the FAA in 2017. The runway, taxiway, and other facility upgrades were completed in 2017
This upgraded scenery was requested. Based on images & online information.
The original airport scenery is wrong as the runway 18/36 has been extended, new extended/re-positioned taxiways roads built. Main aprons extended & more Hangers Built (Completed 2017). In game MSFS Photographic ground scenery is out of date.
The New Upgraded scenery has re-created all the above groundwork changes, accurately. Hangars & buildings used are generic msfs. Ground textures used for new extension, due to poor original photographic ground scenery. ATC Added (although not perfect!). Taxi signs & runways/hold shorts all marked. Taxi & vehicle roads added so some AI should work correcctly. Night flood & street light added. Runway lights & VASI landing system - PAPI 4.

For INFO:
This scenery is NOT the (Newport State Airport) Colonel Robert F.wood Airpark , Rhode Island, ICAO - UUU. ref 41.531868, -71.280555 Operated by Rhode Island Airport Corporation. MSFS have slightly messed up giving ICAO as KUUU and have given two aiports the Same name i.e. KEFK & KUUU both named Newport State.
Also in msfs ICAO - UUU has been given to Manumu Airport, Papua New Guinea!
(This cant be changed/corrected within the SDK).

That's some pretty awesome A1 detective and research work there regarding the name changes! Great work.
BTW, it still works beautifully with absolutely no FPS hits with MSFS 1.25.9.0.
I don't know what you're doing right, but there are definitely some high priced airport developers out there (I won't mention any names) who could use your talents, for sure! Thank you!!!

Hi. Always appreciate devs who care to enhance the FS experience. Keep up the good work! I have one concern. The ICAO code assigned to this airport is KEFK. That is Northeast Kingdom International Airport last I checked and Newport State Airport is actually KUUU. Can you confirm this ? Thanks

Hi Thanks. The ICAO is the one allocated by msfs & cant be changed (most of the time these are correct, but not always). So as an upgrade it is the same at KEFK & Also airfield name/description. Google maps refer to airport as Northeast Kingdom International Airport. However if you go google maps, to the real Streetview of entrance the main sign is clearly seen "Newport State Airport". I dont have local knowledge, but generally the old names stick, in case its been renamed? It is NOT the Newport State Airport ( Colonel Robert F.wood Airpark) , Rhode Island, UUU ref 41.531868, -71.280555 Operated by Rhode Island Airport Corporation.
The entrance street sign for UUU is Colonel Robert F.wood Airpark. So msfs have slightly messed up calling it KUUU (and give two aiports the Same name).
Also in msfs ICAO - UUU has been given to Manumu Airport, Papua New Guinea!
New info - In 2015 the airport was renamed from Newport State to Northeast Kingdom International Airport and the name change was accepted by the FAA in 2017. The runway, taxiway, and other facility upgrades were completed in 2017

This is a fine upgrade of a really nice little airport located in the "Northeast Kingdom", Vermont - perhaps one of the best kept secrets for gorgeous, year-around scenery in New England. Thank you for this really nice and fun place to perhaps fly into from another nice and fun place - Burlington International Airport, located south of here on beautiful Lake Champlain.
A great effort.
Thanks again for Lundy, too!
