Description
This scenery contains my rendition of the Cascade Locks State airport. I was flying here one day and realized that there's no way those trees at the end of runway 24 are that tall... turns out they aren't. So I decided I'd try my hand at renovating the airport to make it more like real life. It's situated along the Columbia River, about 30 miles east of Portland, Oregon.
Notable Features
The offending trees at the departure end of runway 24 have been shortened as much as I can... I think it's pretty close to reality, based on the precious little imagery and video footage I was able to scrounge up for this place.
I also added sections of the airport fence.
I moved the windsock inside the segmented circle instead of on the "taxiway" (more like a driveway that connects to the runway).
I added the little miniature baseball field(?) that appears to share a fence border with the airport.
I also aligned the taxiway and the runway with the game's imagery. If you look closely at the stock airport, you will notice that the taxiway is cut off and misaligned. The runway is also a couple feet off the correct position. That really bothered me, so I fixed it.
That's about it! I hope you enjoy it, it's a pretty scenic little airport!

Hello elmotomoto,
I just checked the scenery and everything appears exactly as it should be. What buildings are you referring to? If you mean the big hangars that appear at the airport during the Whiteout mission, those are exclusive to the mission and will not appear outside of it.

Thanks for adding this to the Oregon landscape! It really adds to the experience of flying around here. Someone needs to do KTTD and the surrounding buildings etc!

I did encounter an issue that may or may not be related to your scenery. When using Navigraph and its map the location of the airport is off by a bit. I don't have any screenshots for you at the moment but its certainly "off." Still great though!

Hi Sonususto,
I believe I noticed this when creating the airport, but didn't touch it for fear of messing something up. The default scenery and navdata is like that as well. I will see if it is possible to relocate where the game thinks it is without causing any problems. Thanks for reporting!

Okay, I looked into it. I tried moving the airport "location" in the scenery editor but it appears to have had no effect, at least for me. I don't have Navigraph, however. I've seen a couple of other airports like this too, I think, where the airport is offset to the side a bit. I don't think I am able to fix it at this point in time. Sorry!

Oh no worries. I guess this is just an Asobo thing. I see that if you moved the airfield it would disrupt other parts of scenery within the vicinity. Anyway, it is VFR only so nobody should be relying on their GPS to land here haha.

Thanks for this. Used to be my go-to airport when I used FSX and Orbx scenery.

I'd say it's ready for "Whiteout" 😁

That is indeed the primary motivation for this airport renovation! It was quite a struggle to get even a lightly loaded Caravan out of this airport with the way the trees were by default. Now it should be no problem. I will be reviewing the other airports visited in the mission and possibly release scenery packs for those airports as well.

Discovered that I can change the tree type, so I added scrub brush in the area where scrub brushes should be, at the end of runway 24. Adjusted the height of the batters box fence. Added a utility pole in the proper place. Cleaned up a couple of the weird spots on the imagery. Added several missing fences. Added support for floating solar panels. Added a group of missing trees near the entrance.
