We are back to flying into KSMO! The problem was an old file was corrupting the current file. Again thanks for your great work. I am looking forward to more of you projects - maybe more in SoCal. Thanks again.
That is so good to hear. Have fun!

Wonderful! No one has ever done a comprehensive scenery for Santa Monica, in any flightsim, until now. Looking forward to seeing the ca. 2017 version. I have airside access at this airport due to my work and can provide reference material for the current and past configurations, if needed. Comments on the current version: -The model of the mid-field south hangars (Santa Monica Flyers, Bill's, etc.) has three "awning" type structures above some of the hangar doors. This is incorrect. I believe you have seen the appearance of the open hangar doors in a satellite image. Those doors fold in half width-wise as they are raised upward. -The ramp area to the south-east that appears to be separated from Taxiway B by a strip of grass, actually slopes down quite a bit towards the large hangar with the arched top (the "Barker Hangar"). The strip that appears to be grass is actually an embankment. The lowest part of that area (around the Barker Hangar) as well as the soccer fields and air museum are about 15-20 feet lower than rest of the airport. I don't know if it is possible to create this kind elevation model for an airport in MSFS, but it is an interesting feature of SMO. -The southern-most cross-shaped structure in the southeast corner of the airport (the one depicted with picnic benches) is actually a flight school, not a hangar. It should have windows on west and south sides that face the ramp. Again, thank you for finally giving this historic airport a proper treatment. Please feel free to reach out if you would like some help with photos, etc.
Thanks for your lovely suggestions. We took our notes and we will definitely work on them. We won't able to create elevation around the museum due to photogrammetry coverage and the limitations of MSFS SDK but we will take care of your other suggestions.
