    KEAU - Chippewa Valley Regional Airport - Image 1

    Description

    Chippewa Valley Regional Airport
    This airport in Wisconsin is located in Eau Claire, and has two runways, 4-22 at 8100ft x 150ft and 14-32 at 5000ft x 100ft.

    It is currently served by Sun Country Airlines, with flights to Minneapolis St Paul Intl, Minnesota and Orlando, Florida.

    At different times of the year, they also fly to Las Vegas and Fort Myers.  Monday and Friday are the busy days, with an arrival from Orlando, which then goes on to Minneapolis, turns around and comes back before returning to Orlando.  Wednesday receives one arrival from MSP which overnights at airport before returning.

    Hawthorne Aviation operate a substantial FBO, and there is plenty of hangar space on the field.

    This Scenery
    I rely 100% on posted material to determine the dimensions and materials used on the buildings and signage within the airport.  However, whilst Google Earth has two dimensional imagery available right up to 2023, 3D images are not available past 2021.  Unfortunately, nobody seems to have posted any photos showing the new firestation at the north end, so I have been unable to model any detail into this end.

    Google Earth aerial photos make the hangars seem dark blue, whereas Street View makes the same hangars a very light color.  I hope the taxiway signs are correct, but I haven’t seen them all, so guesswork is involved.

    Version 0.2 is the first release, and I hope to see feedback from anyone who has first hand experience of this airport, and can help me correct or add missing features.

    Version 0.3

    This version adds the Wisconsin Army National Guard facility and a row of hangars, plus, the approach information that I inadvertently missed out on the previous version.

    Version 0,4

    This is a minor update.  I discovered that AI aircraft were disappearing after landing on one of the runways.  I had made an error in the taxi path lead offs, which has now been corrected.

    Installation

    Open the downloaded zip file and drag the folder into your community folder.  The zip file has an indication of the version number, the contents does not.

    A lot of work will be needed to make our airports fully compliant with 2024, but that doesn't mean the 2020 versions can't be used.  At the time of writing, 12/13/2024, there seems to be an issue with the Community folder.  I would recommend that you create a folder with all the packages you want to put in the community folder before you do anything else.  If you already have packages in the Community Folder, then I found moving it and then populating it with all the packages before running MSFS 2024 worked.

    Thanks so much. Sadly the Regional Airports have small Jetways, and Asobo Jetways don't work when scaled down, but please post some photos of GSX with the airport.

    I'm afraid a Single Jetway can only serve one parking gate in MSFS, so I chose Gate A

    As with all my airports, when I find errors I aim to fix them. Just this morning, I found a photograph that shows inaccuracies in the FBO building and placement of the adjacent hangar. I will be aiming to fix these in the next day or two, so please be patient with the frequency of updates.

    I haven't downloaded yet, but on the screenshot, it states ChippAwa on the building. Is it correct?

    No, and thanks for pointed that out. When I went to check, the text has disappeared from the building altogether, so I will post an update in the next hour.
