    San Diego Jacumba Airport (L78) - Image 1

    Description

    Developper's remark: I'm sorry to have created this airfield which already exist as a freeware by Mountainair. I wanted to "finish" all fields of the San Diego area and forget to double check. My bad. Nevermind, it took me only one afternoon to build this tiny field. Now you have the choice!

    "Flying over, or driving by on Interstate 8, you might miss tiny Jacumba. But hundreds of soaring enthusiasts know the airport and some even know where the town is. However, few people know what Jacumba is all about.

    On weekends you’ll find sail planes being towed aloft to catch the thermals, with pilots who savor the solitude and challenge of powerless flight. During the week the airport is quiet, inhabited by hawks and their prey." Source: https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/sdc/dpw/airports/jacumba.html

    Jacumba is the home of the Associated Glider Clubs of Southern California (AGCSC) flying every Saturday. Jacumba is part of County of San Diego airport and one of my freeware covering GA airports.

    Author's final note

    As for all of my MSFS mod, this small scenery is made from a pilot-eyes perspective. The scenery is inspired by aerial views from Bing and Google maps. It's a mix between the satellite imagery displayed from MSFS and more accurate data found on Internet. I did my best, based on online videos and pictures freely available. If you have local pictures to help being more accurate, please let me know!

    Looks not very interesting from far away, but - as on spare special flights - if you arrive, then it gets amazing detailed. Well done :-)
    Best Regards from Warstein in Germany.

    Nice work here for that little field! Upon departure RWY 25 I felt like my left wing was scratching Mexico already! I have a small issue with the surface though, a lot is covered with very weirdly placed trees, similar to KMYF. I'm using a tree height mod. Do you maybe know why this mod generates those artificial looking trees here and at Montgomery? Cheers!
