This rendition of Kantishna is part of my series of lite releases for MSFS 2020. These releases aren’t extremely feature rich, but are meant to be an improvement over what the simulator currently offers, usually created to fix problematic airport issues or design.
This scenery brings a much needed makeover to Kantishna Airport, completely rebuilding the airport from the ground up. Airport elevations have been corrected along with a custom texture for the gravel runway and parking area. Some fixes were also made to the river near the airport, excluding the water that covered areas that it shouldn’t, such as areas of forest and sandbars.
This scenery requires the following library to function correctly:
Emerald Object Library (MSFS 2020)
