Lake Placid Airport KLKP, is close to some of the sights, most notably the ski jumps, of the Winter Olympics held here in 1980 and before that in 1932. So I endeavored to include them, the Olympic Flame and enhanced the running track next to the airport. I also included the Atmospheric Observation station at the top of Whiteface Mountain to the north (tallest peak 6,000). I added a helipad there, even though one doesn't exist. It is a pretty tricky landing due to the rocks and high winds. Good luck. You need to zoom in to see it because it is close to the landmark star. There is a tetrahedron but since I couldn't get it to work, I removed it. (sorry)
This airport is the perfect companion to Adirondack KSLK. A steep approach is required on runway 32. I stay above 3,000 feet to clear the hills to the east and then keep it slow but within the envelope. Most often you will require pretty good crosswind landing techniques.
I tested this out in 2024 and it is ok except for the bright lights. I hope they fix this bug soon. (all city lights etc are much brighter than 2020)
Have Fun

I focussed on modeling of the buildings and so for windows ( eg ski jump base) that were not important, I didn't use parallax because it is such a pain to do.

Porty Hardy Airport CYZT
Port Hardy is one of the most important airports on Vancouver Island and is home to Wilderness Seaplane which continues to serve the region with a fleet of Gruman Goose'. It has an ILS with glideslope on Rwy 11 - dial in 109.5 for the localizer and glideslope. It has a new terminal building in which the roof resembles the cross section of a wing. I spent some wonderful days up in that area at Telegraph Cove - 40 miles south, but have been a fan of this wild and beautiful part of Canada for years. See the artwork of Emily Carr for instance. I wanted to incorportate some of the artwork of the coastal indigineous peoples -Kwakiutl First Nations -so I included them as highlighted in the terminal building. (dugout canoe and exterior facade)
