KFCM - Flying Cloud Airport - Eden Prairie, MN

Flying Cloud airport is one of the Twin Cities reliever airports, and also the busiest of the Twin Cities outside of KMSP.  It has three runways, one North/South runway and parallel East/West runways.  It boasts a good mix of General Aviation with multiple flight schools operating out of the field, as well as a fair amount of corporate aviation with at least three FBO's.  It is common to have Cessna 172's in the pattern with buisness jets going in and out.  It also has the Wings of the North hangar which has numerous WWII aircraft including a F4U Corsair and P-51 Mustang.  It has a Class D status with ATC for all but the overnight hours.  It also sports an ILS approach with GPS approaches to all runways and a VOR on the field.  

Changes/Improvements

By default the airfield was partially finished.  There were some AI generated hangars on the north and east side and that was about it.  All of the new hangar complex on the south side was not populated by hangars/taxiways and (as usual for MSFS in it's current state) the taxiway names were incorrect.  I used nearly all stock Asobo objects with the exception of one additional library listed below.  

A list of modifications I can recall from the top of my head:

- Renamed Taxiways and updated taxiway signs to match the current Taxiway Diagram as of July 2021 

- Addition of hangars/taxiways to the south complex (currently this section is seeing the most improvements to the field).  I left most of the AI generated hangars intact.

- Relocation of Taxiway A3.  It is my understanding that it was moved west slightly to aid in preventing aircraft departing the FBO ramp from entering runway 10L mistaking it for taxiway A

- Taxiway lights heavily modified to match proper locations

- Terraforming of the south complex to fix elevation discrepencies and various ridges

- The Thunderbird FBO was missing.  I made something sort of resembling it out of stock objects.  Also the hangar next to Thunderbird was enormous as generated by AI so I replaced it with one of appropriate size

- Runway guard lights (wig-wag lights) added to all taxiways to aid in preventing runway incursions to match the real life airport.  The wig wag light object is stock Asobo, but it does not flash.  I added an object from the EDHK lights pack which will add the flashing motion.  If you want to enable the flashing lights, you will need to install the library found here.  Install the library to your community folder.  Without it you will have static runway guard lights which is still better than the default of nothing.

- Other random scenery additions like fences, aircraft, and fuel objects.

- Tower added with rotating beacon (which suffers from the lack of intensity of all beacons at thins point in MSFS)

- Night lighting added, primarily to the FBO's

Installation:

Extract to your community folder.  Install the above listed lighting library to your community folder if you want the flashing wig-wag lights.

Change Log:

v1.1 - Removed the AI generated control tower leaving only my placed scenery control tower object which is of more appropriate size.

As always, enjoy flying in Minnesota!
