** 2.2.1 Now Available - See Notice Below **
** File size has been reduced to ~16Mb **
NOTICE:
*** Microsoft has updated the satellite imagery around KGCN in their lastest World Update 10, so I have removed my custom imagery since it is no longer needed; I recommand doing a clean install and not copying over files. I'll leave the older version avaible but there are problems with the vegetation around the airport due to new update.
Quick description:
Grand Canyon National Park Airport is a state-owned public-use airport located in Tusayan, Arizona; located 7 miles from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon National.
What does this scenery package do?
The default Grand Canyon National Park Airport (KGCN) needed some much help with almost zero buildings, misaligned taxiways and a lack of uniqueness. I created this mod to enhance KGCN with proper 3D assets including: hangars, terminals, vehicles, roads, and vegetation around the airport; along with fixes to the runway and taxiway. This is not a 100% perfect representation of KGCN but I hope the additions to the airport makes it feel more real.
Dependencies:
This addon now uses some of the amazing models from Mikea.at, so make sure to get their assetpack using the link below or through the dependencies tab above.
More information:
FPS optimization is still on-going but the hit using this mod now is ~5 fps.

Airport looks amazing, but I am having trouble using it with GSX Pro. It says valid airport data could not be found and thus I am unable to use GSX. If anyone knows of a fix for this, please let me know!

Is this compatible with the new WU10?
I think there is new DEM and satellite images there... not 100% sure...
But the terrain map you added in this area looks off and not needed anymore.
How can this be removed?
An update of the mod would be great!
