Opensceneryx- http://www.opensceneryx.com/
R2 Objects Library- http://xplane.cz/en/2011/04/01/r2-library-knihovna-3d-objektu/
Ruscenery Library- http://www.x-plane.su/projects/ruscenery.html
Also Special thanks to Chris K for showing me how to create the photo scenery ground textures.
The 7cm/pixel ground textures have been obtained from Nearmap. Their community license has been included in the package.
License: You are not allowed to modify or redistribute this file without my permission (contact X-Plane Australia on x-plane.org).
If you would like to use some of my custom objects for your own scenery file you must contact me first.
Installation:
1. Make sure you already have the OpensceneryX, R2, and Ruscenery object librarys installed.
2. Move the file "YTYA - Tyabb Airport" into your custom scenery folder.
Note: For the best effect you are going to want to run this scenery at a texture resolution of Very High or Extreme. This scenery might be too much for some older computers.
Thanks and Enjoy

Biddeford Municipal - B19
By briangodwin
Biddeford Municipal Airport. This version is XP10 only. I am trying to reverse engineer my own work for a version for XP9.
A glitch has been reported about the runway heading. Although the heading for 06 (and conversely 24) is set for 55.90, in cockpit instruments display 72. I am submitting a bug report for this.

EGNM
By Countdown
Leeds Bradford - EGNM
You will need opensceneryx2, and FF_LIBRARY to take advantage of all of the scenery additions.
I took an old MSFS conversion done by Mr 3D and totally reworked it to bring it into the V10.20B5 world. It is my local airport and has changed significantly from the one Mr 3D converted years ago. The Baron is my inspiration, as he takes little known and underloved airports and brings them into the 21 century.
I like lots of lighting effects, but in this conversion I tried to keep to what is actually there, so I spend weeks tweaking the airport with google maps and microsoft bing maps as my guide.
Hope you like the airport. All my own work, and done with Mr 3D's blessing.

KTRI Tri Cities Regional TN/VA
By nascar99
KTRI Tri Cities Regional Airport Tenesse/Virginia Servicing Bristol TN/VA, Johnson City TN, and Kingsport TN.
This scenery is only for X-Plane 10.
This scenery uses library objects and facades.
This uses the default apt.dat so I didn't tinker any ILS glide slopes or the airport layout.
Thank You to Kyle Sanders for providing charts for the Airport.
COMING NEXT IN VERSION 2.0
Possibly a detailed model of the Terminal from the Google 3D Warehouse if I can figure out how to export it from Google Sketchup to X-Plane with textures.

KYKM - Yakima Air Terminal
By sichars1968
KYKM - Yakima Air Terminal, Wa
This continues my airport scenery creations in the state of Washington, USA.
Yakima Air Terminal is situated in central Washington state, and as far as I know is served by Horizon Air Dash 8's on behalf of Alaska Airways to Seatac. There is an abundant GA presence and there is a museum portraying it's role in the past as a military airfield. There are still some charter flights transporting military personnel in and out to use nearby training ranges.
This initial upload includes all taxiways and buildings inside the airport perimeter, and some static objects. I will eventually, when time allows, add all airport signage and more object 'clutter', and hopefully ATC routes, as well as populating the empty areas to the north of the airport(unless these happen to be improved on with the introduction of 10.20+!!)
Requires OpenSceneryX and XP 10.10 beta1 or later

WICK EGPC
By Countdown
THIS AIRPORT IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF X-PLANE USER "IANG"
Lover of Scotland, Ian G produced many fun airports of the Scottish Highlands and Islands, where his wife assures me he is flying now
Happy flying Ian

58.456456N, 3.097271W
Notes
RAF Wick was built on land adjoining the pre-war airstrip at Hillhead Farm. Tarmac runways were added at the beginning of the war along with wooden control tower and four 'C1' hangars. The tower survives as do two of the hangars, which in the 1980s were being used for storage. Many of the buildings in the technical area still survive in a derelict condition.
This World War II airfield is situated N of Wick and E of the A9 trunk road. Many buildings are still extant, but most of those now outside the present airport perimeter fence have been demolished. The two remaining 'C1' type hangars are still in use, but for entirely different purposes. The furthest W is in use by Highland Council to provide hangarage for light aircraft repair and storage. This hangar has been modified, as the main doors at the NE end are no longer extant and have been replaced by corrugated iron sheeting. The doors at the SW end no longer open fully and the steel entension gantry that formerly supprted the tracking for the doors has also been removed. Most of the former window openings have recently been covered with metal sheeting. Apart from the above, the hangar is regularly maintained and apprently the intention is continue this for many years into the future.The other hangar (to the NE) is in use for agricultural purposes and though not well maintained is in nearly original condition.
The original control tower is still used for light aircraft movements and is one of the few remaining in Scotland of wooden construction. Several of the perimeter pillboxes also survive along with the bomb store which includes huts for storing torpedos. Few of the buildings in the former technical area survive, those that do are in use for purposes other than for the airfield. Many of the taxiways can still be discerned in the perimeter areas and more recently a Pickett Hamilton turret has been extracted from the runway area after being found by the large grass mowers. The airfield is now the civilian Highland Wick Airport.

FINAL THOUGHTS
The airport I have created for your pleasure is 95% accurate. The remaining 5% is an attempt to make the scenery fun to fly around. You will not find in real life Hungry Jacks, Pizza Express or McDonalds - although TESCO is there along with large car park faithfully reproduced. The type C hangers are there but nowhere near as well looked after as those in my scenery. The houses and hangers in this scenery were chosen for their uncanny similarity to those actually in-situ, and having lived just 20 miles from Wick, I can confirm the containers ships and ferry are regular visitors to this area. This scenery is loaded with details, and subsequently takes a hit on your frame rates. I RECOMMEND you reduce your resolution HIGH and work your way up depending on your machine, but you must select EXTREME for airport objects otherwise you will miss out on masses of details and animations as well.
Then again - it is up to you, after all this is just an airport (or is it?).
Have fun.
Happy flying

KEDC Austin Executive Airport
By jagipson
The main hanger, service hanger, covered apron and terminal were all hand-drawn using Google Sketchup and some photos. The remainder of the objects are X-plane 10 standard library and OpenSceneryX library objects.This is the first in a series I will release aptly-named Minor Airports of Central Texas which will also feature KGTU (Georgetown), KHYI (San Marcos Municipal Airport), and T86 (Gillespie County Airport, featuring the hanger hotel, a popular getaway for puddle jumpers).This is the new Austin Executive Airport, located next to the CWK VOR. It is a private endeavor which was opened as a releaver for Austin Bergstrom.I've personally never been there - I've constructed the airport from photos and satellite photography. If any RW pilots have been there, or go there, please send me some photos so I can make improvements.I hope you enjoy it. See you on Vatsim.

Gillespie County Airport
By jagipson
T82
Gillespie County Airport, Gillespie County Texas (Hill Country Region)
* OpenSceneryX strongly recommended
Original taxiway and apron from satellite images.
Featuring these original objects:
Hangar Hotel
Airport Diner
WWII searchlight
Vintage Billboard
Antique Watertower
Dog-run style terminal and administration buildings
Also features a modified airport beacon (combining two library objects).
Several other objects from OpenScenery and the standard X-plane libraries have also been set.
This is a pilots' favorite, drawn from memory (with the help of several photos).
This scenery has been developed and tested in X-Plane 10, buy similar scenery that I've created has been reported to work in latter versions of X-Plane 9.
NOTE REGARDING THE TERRAIN:
The alternative HD Mesh for this area greatly improves the experience, and even makes the Hill Country area look like The Hill Country. It's a distinctly separate add-on from this one, but highly recommended as it fixes other geological issues. Prior to installing this, I had to use GPS to pick out Enchanted Rock. With this add-on, the distinctive volcanic skeleton is visually identifiable. A special thanks to Andras for preparing this. It has made VFR flying in Central Texas worthwhile.

KHQM - Bowerman Airport
Welcome to Bowerman Airport in Hoquiam, WA! This is my very first XP10 scenery package completed using WED 1.2. I have developed several other small GA fields for version 9.70 (mostly in Washington State) but recently made the move to XP10 and will now be developing only v10 packages. I apologize if this alienates any of my loyal 9.70 fans but I have finally moved up in the XPlane world and just won't be going back!
Bowerman Airport is a pleasant little GA airfield located in the Gray's Harbor region of Washington's Pacific Coast. It offers an ILS for precision approaches and a little fly-in restaurant called, "Lana's Cafe," for your $100 hamburger cravings! I strove to make this field as plausible as possible but it is by no means a picture perfect representation of the real world location. We can just imagine, for example, that, "Lana's Cafe," was such a popular and successful place that they rebuilt into a larger more modern facility!
I have wanted to build this airport for quite some time but really wanted to wait until I got XP10. The default apt.dat was really well done and thoroughly mapped out so I used that as a starting point. Once I made several minor adjustments to the default apt.dat I was ready to add objects and bring KHQM to life! While I appreciate the detailed and gorgeous looking default/lib XP10 buildings, they just weren't the right sizes for what I wanted to do with Bowerman. Therefore, I have made extensive use of Jacques Brault's lovely buildings and various other objects as well as some OpensceneryX hangars and buildings.
If you enjoy general aviation flying I think you'll really appreciate my rendition of Bowerman Airport!
Special thanks to the following folks:
Ben Supnik, the genius creator of WED, Jacques Brault for his outstanding objects, the author of the default apt.dat for KHQM (great work!), all the contributors to OpensceneryX, and to scenery guru Brian Godwin for his continued support and technical expertise!

NALF San Clemente Island (KNUC)
By ThePrivateer
This is a small & simple version of Naval Auxiliary Landing Field San Clemente Island, located on an officially uninhabited island off the coast of Southern California. From Wikipedia:
"One of the primary military function of San Clemente has been to support research and development of many of the Navy's weapon systems. In 1939, the Navy developed the first Landing Craft, Vehicle and Personnel (LCVP) "Higgins Boat" at SCI. This was the beginning of the Naval Amphibious Force, which was one of the key factors in the outcome of World War II. Today SCI's primary function is twofold: (1) to support tactical training of the Pacific Fleet, and (2) to continue as a key research and development facility. SCI provides the Navy and Marine Corps a multi-threat warfare training range. A major part of Navy training takes place on the ranges right off the SCI shores. The primary range covers over 149,000 square miles (386,000 km²) and is the Navy's busiest Fleet airspace. Also included in this training area are two mine exercise areas, the Southern California Anti-Submarine Warfare Range, seven submarine areas, the shallow water Undersea Training Range, and two laser training ranges. In total, SCI is a unique combination of airfields, airspace and ranges unlike any other facility owned by the Navy. It is the only location in the Pacific where surface ships, submarines, aircraft and Navy expeditionary forces can train in all warfare areas simultaneously using shore gunnery, bombardment, air defense, anti sub and electronic warfare."
My rendition of NUC doesn't really cover the entire island; just the area immediately surrounding the airport. It's a good training area for naval aircraft such as the FA-18, EA-6B, AH-1, or P-8A, and many real-life Navy pilots consider it to be one of the most demanding training fields in the country due to the high crosswinds and difficult terrain. Also, this package features the first ever MQ-8B Fire Scout helicopter to be publicly available in the X-Plane world. Have fun!

Sumburgh Airport - Shetlands
By Countdown
Welcome to Sumburgh Airport
Sumburgh Airport (IATA: LSI, ICAO: EGPB) is the main airport serving Shetland in Scotland. It is located on the southern tip of the mainland, 17 NM (31 km; 20 mi) south of Lerwick.[1] The airport is owned by Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL) and served by Loganair (under franchise to FlyBe) as well as sometimes seasonally by Atlantic Airways.
The airport is unusual in that it has a 550 m (1,804 ft) helicopter runway as opposed to usual helipad. The western end of runway 09 crosses the A970 road between Sumburgh and the northern mainland; access is controlled by a level crossing with barriers lowered whenever a flight is taking off or landing.
Sumburgh Links was surveyed and the grass strips laid out by Capt. E. E. Fresson in 1936: the Airport was opened on June 3 of that year with the inaugural flight from Aberdeen (Kintore) by the De Havilland Dragon Rapide G-ACPN piloted by Fresson himself. It was also one of the first airfields to have RDF facilities due to the frequency of low cloud and fog coupled with the proximity of Sumburgh Head. The building of runways was at the instigation of Capt. Fresson who had proved to the Navy at Hatson that to maintain all round landing facilities over the winter months runways were essential. This was taken up by the RAF after the obvious success of the Hatson (Orkney) experiment.
The former RAF Sumburgh airfield had two runways, the longest being 800 yd (730 m), and the shorter running a length of 600 yd (550 m) from shore-line to shore-line. No. 404 Squadron operated Beaufighter Mark VI and X aircraft from this station on coastal raids against Axis shipping off the coast of Norway and in the North Sea.
On 1 April 1995, ownership of the Company transferred from the UK Civil Aviation Authority to the Secretary of State for Scotland and subsequently to the Scottish Ministers.
Shetland is the home of otters, puffins & Shetland ponies.
Sumburgh airport is the main airport serving Shetland and is situated approximately 25 miles south from the main town/port of Lerwick. The airport provides air links to Scotland's major cities, Orkney and Norway.
Shetland is known for its distinctiveness and culture which is unlike that of anywhere else. Its roots lie deep in Viking with islands littered with Old Norse names and remains. It is a haven for birds being home to more than one million during the seasons. The Islands are also famous for great walking, cycling and touring, whale watching - Shetland Ponies and Fair Isle Knitwear to name but a few!

Ok - So why did I give you the opening times - well because I search fairly extensively for night flight landings and found none, but then I realised that Shetland gets dark very early in winter - so next time you fly into Sumburgh in the dark - make a video!
I need to thank some people
Marginal - as ever I would be lost without your overlay editor, and other invaluable tools.
I started with World Editor, so thanks to Ben at the org for allowing us to use this package.
The Baron will always get a mention - he was my inspiration and got me back into designing, so thanks to him.
VERY IMPORTANTLY - a huge thanks to Iain Murray of Scotflight. He allowed me to use his Sumburgh terminal obj, with lit textures. The guy was so helpful he even offered to make me a mini Sumburgh scenery. FSX designers are great people.
Lastly - my wife whose patience knows no limits, supplier of tea and sympathy!
