YKSC Kingscote Airport has been a personal project for me taking over 2years to develop in my spare time learning the craft of Blenders and fighting the MSFS SDK. This Scenery has been made for MSFS 2020 only at this stage, other platforms may be considered but not planned. The Features of this airport include a highly detailed Terminal that includes the upgrade expansion and runway extensions completed in 2018 costing 18M AUD. The terminal externals and internals have been created using very limited images from many web sources so they may not be 100% the same as real-world airport detail,
Airport Infomation
Kingscote Airport (IATA: KGC, ICAO: YKSC) is located 6.5 nautical miles (12.0 km; 7.5 mi) southwest of Kingscote, South Australia, the main town on Kangaroo Island, in the locality of Cygnet River. The airport is the sole airport for Kangaroo Island. Kangaroo Island is one of South Australia's most popular tourist attractions, attracting over 140,000 visitors each year, with international visitors, primarily from Europe, accounting for more than 25% of these visits.

This is astounding! Absolutely love your work here, the modelling is as good as the best payware developers and the detail in the terminal and surrounds has to be seen to be believed. I flew YPPF YADG YGWA YKSC using all of the sceneries, lovely route as always and icing on the cake with my first visit to your YKSC. I spent over half an hour on the ground exploring all of the detail you've included. I don't need much excuse to visit KI and now I'll be flying everything I can find over there. I don't even need to pay for the ferry! 😁

Hi Geoff
Can't disagree with other comments. This is brilliant. Rwys, apron, terminal, marking, buildings etc...fantastic. I flew a QF737 in there today and have made a GSX profile for it for bay 1. Hope you approve.

Fantastic effort. Really exceptional modelling of terminal. I'm still buggering around with mine for various airports.
My only comment would be - rebuild with the STAR option on the airport because for me it does not appear on the world map unless I drill down to the exact location.

Thanks for that feedback, opps was a oversight, has been fixed my end but won't release a update till after the next su12, don't want to bombard updates every day unless theres a mayjor bug

Awesome mate love the small control tower would it be possible to do a Endbrough air base YPED

RAAF Base Edinburgh, would be a tough one to do, there are many many many changes to the base daily to suit the new p8, and even using google satellite images buildings will be very hard to reproduce by guessing, I was last on the base in the 80s I think many many of the old buildings would be gone by now or rebuilt, unfortunately, its a no from me to do
