Republic Airport was developed by Sherman Fairchild as the Fairchild Flying Field in East Farmingdale on Long Island, NY in late 1927 as his flying field and airplane factory on Motor Avenue in South Farmingdale was inadequate to support the mass production of his Fairchild FC-2 and Fairchild 71 airplanes. Fairchild purchased property on the south side of Route 24-Conklin Street and had the airport's original layout plan prepared on November 3, 1927.
Note: Please make sure your MSFS 2020 is updated with all the regions. Make sure you check the list of dependencies. they are HIGHLY recommended to bring the airport to life. We have added a few to make your experieince even more enjoyable. Remember that downloading a dependecy is a one time process! Once you have them on your local PC, you never have to download it again.
Finaly a BIG thanks to DHH and EL for all the help and especially to weok, solid_shadow and the developers of KFLY airport for allowing us to use some of their amazing designs including the open hangars(Parking slots 1 & 2). Thank you guys! Grab their work for KFLY and their other downloads at:
KFLY-Meadow Lake Airport
NOTE!!!! Again, Please make sure your sim is completely up-to-date with all regions installed.

My best regards from Nassau County... I exit New Highway off the Southern State every morning while driving to the office just to watch the action around the airport. Thanks again for your time and your effort.

Good morning.....Thanks for the kind words...Being from Oceanside myself, Republic was where I took my first flight at a young age and started my dreams of flying in the real world. Really glad you are enjoying the scenery.

Thanks for making my home airport!

My pleasure. I actually grew up on Long Island and used to go by Republic all the time. My first flight as a child was actually in an old 152 out of Republic and that started the path and goal for me to get my own private license. Glad you enjoyed it. If there's anything else just let me know. Thanks again.

Without a doubt, one of the best freeware (or payware!) airports I've ever seen!! Well done. Any chance you take requests?
dvlcreations author
Thanks for the kind words...growing up on Long Island, Republic always has had a special place for me. It was a true delight to plan and create the airport. We are very proud of what KFRG turned out to be. We have a list of on-going projects but, we love ideas from the group. What do you have in mind?

Previous version had radio freq. issues...didn't check them all but I know you never put in the ATIS. Did you enter in all the correct freq's for this airport in this new update?
dvlcreations author
All frequencies have been re-coded and all work now. Thanks for the support.

appreciate it for making this, this is where i fly out of and nice to finally have a scenery for it!
dvlcreations author
Really glad you like it...a true labor of love....took a lot longer to design and create, but well worth the journey. Let me know if anything seems out of place. I used to live on Long Island but now I am out west so things most likely have changed. Again, thanks for the kind words.

Finally, is right. Thanks for taking up the task of creating this popular long island airport. It's not perfect (like the Airpower Museum looks so different) but overall, it's much better than the default so thanks for that. I also noticed the Zenflight hangers on east side of runway 1 aren't showing but I do see them in your screen shots. All dependencies are loaded.
BTW you should add a paypal link for donations as well. The Coffee link needs CC info.

Thanks for the kind words... These models are stock so it's tough to do custom... Our next project will feature custom 3d models. I will update the museum down the road It's on the Todo list. Now as far as the hangars, any chance you can screenshot what you are seeing? We used our test team to make sure everything is visible. Also, are you up to date with all the regions available for the sim? Let me know so we can get it right for you. Again, thanks for the great comments! Really appreciate it. P.S.....just added a PayPal link..thanks!
