Update 1.0.1: Just a technical update, I have renamed the 'modellib' folder to not cause any issues.
Welcome To Mountain Air!
Mountain Air is a gated community in North Carolina. Homeowners and Members of Mountain Air Country Club can enjoy its many amenities all year round. Mountain Air is easily accessible with a car, however, it also has its own private airstrip. The airstrip is located atop a mountain, which makes landing a little bit more challenging than your usual rodeo. If it is your first time at Mountain Air, it is recommended to do a pass over the strip and get a feel for the surrounding area before attempting to land.
If in doubt, you can always check the Pilot's Manual, published by non-other then the Mountain Air Pilot's Association.

Happy flying, happy golfing, and remember, always touch down before the 2000ft mark!
Features:
- Complete terraforming of the area. In the original version, 2NC0 is a flat airport atop the mountain. I made the required modifications to feel much closer to the real-life counterpart. Unfortunately, the SDK still has some limitations regarding terraforming, but I am pretty happy with the end result.
- 2 custom models for the main buildings. If you wish to use the airport without them please use the file from 'NOCUSTOMBUILDINGS.ZIP'.
- VASI light added to the end of Runway 34. It has a 3.5 degree glideslope. Works the following way: Blinking white means above glideslope, steady white indicates glideslope, steady red indicates slightly under glideslope, blinking red indicates under glideslope.
- Many 'default' Asobo assets also added to the scene to give it more life
- 5 parking available, no FUEL.
Installion:
Normal version: Unzip the two files, and use 'matemate-airport-2nc0-mountainair' folder to copy into your community folder. You can discard the 'NOCUSTOMBUILDINGS.ZIP' if you want.
Autogen Buildings Version: Unzip the two files, then unzip 'NOCUSTOMBUILDINGS.ZIP', and use the folder inside to drop into your community folder. You can discard 'matemate-airport-2nc0-mountainair' folder if you want.
Future Plans:
This is release 1.0. For me this airport is a long term project. I continuously learn and improve on the way, in the long term, I would like to remake the two main buildings for higher quality, and add more local houses. For now, however, it's quickfixes. Please if you find an issue or inaccuracy, let me know in the comments or direct message and I will try to fix it.
Hope you will all enjoy flying at Mountain Air!
This airport was created based on user request. I did quite grow to like it though, this is why I want to keep on developing it.

Suggestion: Request flightsim.to to include your airport under their heading of "Mountain Airports"

Thank for this scenery. In case gamers are interested, here is an article from a famous real world publication (Flying). The Jan issue has an article on this very airport!

This is a very nice scenery.
There seems to be a problem with the windsocks at each end of the runway when windy. The middle windsock works correctly. Watch this:

This is quite nice. This morning I looked around the current MSFS condition of Mountain Air (2NC0) and I thought "hmm, this is not bad." Then I downloaded and installed your "nobuildings" version and wow, what a nice surprise. There is a windsock at both ends of the runway, improved markings and signs, as well as lower trees and nicely terraced golf cart paths. A lot to look at and pretty from the air.

I've stopped using this scenery as the author hasn't responded to comments or updated the scenery ever. The trees and terrain are not correct anymore after several sim / world updates. Such a shame, it was a great and badly needed airport scenery that this person put a lot of effort into, then stopped improving on. Hopefully one day he comes back, see all the interest, and updates it. Until then I guess we'll have to hope someone else makes a better version.

But I do wonder why the 3 windsocks on the field all indicate differing wind direction.
