HECTOR INTERNATIONAL
Originally opened in 1927 after the land being donated by Martin Hector, this airport has grown to 2,500 Acres, and serves as a Passenger, Cargo, FBO and Fargo Air National Guard Base. There is a Museum in the South East Quadrant, though there is currently a lack of Static Aircraft.
The first terminal was repurposed once the current Terminal was built in 1986. It lost its Tower, but otherwise is easy to imagine as an early Passenger Terminal. The 1986 Terminal was extended in 2004-2006. This model is based on 2022 aerial photos, so the new car park has not yet been added.
INSTALLATION
The installation file contains three folders. All should be moved to the Community Folder.
They are:
kfar-hector-intl
mgcscenery-modellib-tsassets
mnsd-modellib-airport-models
You may have already downloaded mnsd-modellib-airport-models from flightsim.to, but as I am the author, this version should take priority. (They should be the same, but just to be sure) You will find Taxiway Signs have a reverse side. The Runway Safety signs - Hold Shorts - have a reverse side added which indicates the solid/dashed symbol that is on the ground. The tsassets library contains planes that are put in front of the solid yellow. All this is generated by an application I have written. It is not yet 100% reliably, and you may see the odd sign that is yellow on both sides. Hopefully I will get the spacing right so that it works across the globe.
CREDITS
Many of the textures I use come from Textures.com so many thanks to them. They are only 1K, since this is a free enterprise, and they charge for anything bigger.
I may have used tsr-windy-things, in which case you may need this library .. also from flightsim.to. It's worth downloading anyway.

Awesome job! So glad to see the correct taxiway signs, UPS ramp extension and the south GA looks great. Thanks so much for doing this, the payware was just okay and didn't do it justice.

Thanks for taking the time to create Hector Field! This brings back a lot of fond memories. My late father flew part-time for "The Happy Hooligans" from 1969 thru 1981 (F-102s and F-101s). When dad was laid off from TWA in 1971, we moved to West Fargo and dad flew full time for NODAK for a little over a year. I have a lot of great memories from my time in West Fargo. I was so happy to see that you added the red and white "The Happy Hooligans" logo to their hangar! Thanks again for taking the time to create KFAR and share it with us.

Nice rendition of the Barnyard! Thanks!

Excellent scenery! Thank you!
I tried it with the crj9 on ILS36. Works perfectly!
With a bit more apron clutter and with pax terminal matching color custom jetways it would be equalling payware quality!
Now lets wait for a proper KMSP from Flightbeam to be able to fly these short regional ops!!

Thanks so much for your positive comments. I might upload my own version of KMSP, which is certainly not payware quality, but is certainly more realistic than Asobo's version. I've not tried my hand at custom Jetways as yet, but maybe soon.
