1B1 Columbia County – Hudson, New York v1.0
A great airport for a stop while traveling along the Hudson rIver. Like, you know… if it’s late at night during winter and your aircraft ices up…
Enhancements
Hangars now look closer to real life
Parking lot uncovered and fenced off, cars placed
Airport perimeter fence installed
Night lighting added to hangars

Aircraft parking now sit over the Ts and face properly
Several areas of forest have been filled in better
Static aircraft parked on tarmac

Fixes
Displaced threshold for Rwy21
Taxi lines cleaned up and matching aerial photos
Taxi lights no longer appear on taxiways
Windsocks and beacon are now placed properly
Rwy3 PAPI slope angle and position now proper
Rwy21 PAPI added and set/positioned proper
Building at SW end of airport removed and replace with proper hangar and tarmac
Vegetation exclusion removed from runway so trees encroach properly
Fuel station is no longer askew
Known Issues
PAPI placement not exact as ground textures not high res enough to see them but based off aerial photo reference
Taxi lighting is MSFS default and it sucks – I can’t manipulate it to a fine level like I could with FSX so lighting spacing and appearance is all over the place. One runway exit has a big gap in the middle although its got the same node placement as the rest soo..
I can’t remove the light balls yet
Lack of taxi lights on the tarmac side are due to issues getting the lights to place properly and were just removed so no lights would cross taxiway intersections
