About this mod

Permissions and credits
Quick description:
 
Grand Canyon National Park Airport is a state-owned public-use airport located in Tusayan, Arizona; located 7 miles from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon National.
 
What does this mod do?
 
The default Grand Canyon National Park Airport (KGCN) needed some much help with almost zero buildings, misaligned taxiways and a very large chemtrail that went through the middle of the airport. I created this mod to enhance KGCN with proper 3D assets including: hangars, terminals, vehicles, roads, and vegetation around the airport; along with fixes to the runway and taxiway. This is not a 100% perfect representation of KGCN but I hope the additions to the airport makes it feel more real.
 
I tried my best to keep the amount of custom textures to a minimum (for file size) that was needed to remove that pesky chemtrail.

FPS optimization is still on-going but the hit using this mod now is ~5 fps.
