Version 5.0 and on address the lag issues caused by certain objects. Please make sure you remove the old version before adding new versions to your community folder.
Hill AFB (KHIF) Ogden Utah, United States of America is a United States Airforce Base home to the F-35 Lightning II. Hill also serves as a repair depot for A/C like the F-16s and F-22s.
Version 3.0 is considered final for now. Updates will come if critical. See changelogs for details.
Dependencies:
Make sure your world updates for USA are up to date.
I use buildings from KNFL and KNKX. Base game airports you need to make sure are installed.
Huge thanks to Nickb007 for the help!
Expect to have just over 1GB of space. This is the final version. Updates will come if changes are needed.
Donations are not required but greatly appreciated.
SEE CHANGELOG FOR ALL VERSION NOTES!!!
Latest Update:
Added Ambulance and replaced firetruck and other vehicles. Added some random objects.
Updated taxiway lines. Added taxiway edge lights. Updated addt'l painted elements.
Adjusted some parking spots.
Replaced one C17 with an open C17, added cargo items inside.

Note: Runway 14 has a slight dip. Doesnt affect takeoff/landing, just annoying. This is known, I am still toying with terraforming etc to fix.
A lot of time and money goes into scenery. Though not required, any donations or a note of thanks is greatly appreciated. I take comments very seriously, so if you see anything that can be improved or fixes needed, please leave a comment!

Excellent! I was stationed there and the scenery is pretty much 100% on the dot. Can you make JBER (Elmendorf AFB)?

Thanks! PAED looks doable for sure. Ill see what I can spin up in the coming weeks.

Great job, but just to note I also am seeing some lag issues. The issue seems to be the Aircraft Repair Facility / rounded roof buildings causing it, when I look the other direction the performance improves. It might be something simple to fix, maybe ask in FSDeveloper for help with what might cause that. I too once had a similar issue, but mine was caused by too many bushes.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I need to update this version. I am thinking I just have too much around the base. Thinking about removing all unnecessary objects and just keeping the focus around the runway/taxiways.

I would love to give it 5 stars, but it's pretty laggy and my system doesn't lag, even at the demanding freeware Gatwick.
projectzero3923 author
Sorry to hear. Um unfortunately many things factor on lag and hard to pinpoint when I myself cannot replicate it. I’ll release a “lite” version this week that only provides scenery for the runways/taxiways removing the extra areas like the BX and munitions. See if that helps with folks that need less rendering to save resources.

Just flew around your HILLAFB scenery,getting 35/45 FPS till I get to HILL then I drop to 5/10 FPS. hovering in heli (H145) there is a hanger ,transport plane, and something on NE side by tech blgd. is that is taking a huge hit on FPS. impossible to fly there. I have a few shots of bad spots I can DM if you need them.

hope the removal of sim objects helps with your FPS issues.

I retired from Hill AFB in 2006 so I appreciate the work you're doing. Just some feedback: the new buildings need some grungy-ing up. Also, something I haven't seen anyone work on is the Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE). It is such a prominent feature on any AFB flightline. I'd love to see some -86's, -60's, and many more maintenance stands. Light carts are everywhere at night. I don't blame you for not knowing what any of those things are, but a little research is all anyone needs to understand.
Thank you for all your arduous work. This looks great.
projectzero3923 author
Solid feedback for sure! Thank you! I’ll certainly add some of those to the focus. The buildings are either from the base or Miramar so I definitely get needing to get them to look older but that would require custom buildings. I’ll toy with what I can do and see if I can keep the file size as low as possible. Thanks again for the helpful tips, greatly appreciated!

Unable to download alwayus stops download after approx 20Mb shame was looking forward to installing

That is a shame! Double check your connection and speeds. Its a large file so you may need to prioritize the download.

It`s a great scenery.It works for me now the CTD I had must have been a normal one that happens once in a while.For future projects the Andrews AFB or the Edwarts AFB would be great.

I was going to download this but this website wants adblockers off all of a sudden. I turned it off and it cant recognize I turned it off. Maybe later.

Ah never seen that before. Sounds like it could be something that flightsim requires but if you think you fixed it I would try their support to see if there is anything else. Sorry I cant be much help!
