MSFS KSZP- Santa Paula - Available

[marijnjc]

First scenery for MSFS. Santa Paula is one of my favorite GA airports, full of aviation history, including (steve mcqueen's hangar) last week I've been putting some hours in.
Hope to release it around the middle of April.
Since there are a lot of details in the airport, I'm trying to keep the count down as much as possible and add details with PBR and Alpha, I'm going to attempt to create all hangars and objects larger than 2m by hand.
Thank's a lot to everybody actively helping out on this forum.

Added Steve McQueen's old hangar, could use less shine.

Was stuck at some point after each time I imported a object it kept saying there was a duplicate in an element?!. I deleted parts until the error disappeared.
Still not sure, I converted everything to mesh, everything had a unique name, anyhow, moving on.

Very nice cant wait I used to live here and went to airport all the time, I also learned to fly here in a Cessna 150..

SDK challenges aside, its moving on, little bit worried as when there are more and more objects the project seems increasingly sensitive for errors.

Would love to know what you think of it, would love to have your feedback of a pre-release version if you are up for it.

I still remember when the small airport café used to be were Logston's is now.. What great memory's going there with my Grandfather when I was a kid he was one of the ones that helped open the airport.. Along with Ralph Dickenson. Do you still go there I was wondering if Pete Masson is still towing banners there, I used to help him put the banners together he pulled them with a modified Stearman..

Your posts are extremely helpful and welcome, thanks so much for sharing that picture.
Regarding Stearman #8 do you know if that prop is still on it? see this picture:

The amount of detail and history this airport has is mindblowing, and it's easy to get lost and keep adding all small details to the scenery to honor it all, really enjoying the process and any information you can share is 100% welcome.

Thats so awesome, So that must have been on Curtiss taxiway or Wright taxiway?
Its a dream of mine to have a hangar there.
