"The San Juan Islands is the perfect place for you to visit on your next flight trip. Situated between the Haro and Rosario Straits between Vancouver Island and the United States Mainland, with Vancouver to the north and Seattle to the south, the San Juan Islands offer a unique mixture of flora & fauna - nature & culture. With its over 150 islands and reefs San Juan Islands is an ideal area to explore the breath-taking nature, the deep-rooted culture and the maritime cuisine - the surroundings offer plenty of adventures and experiences to fill week long stays. On clear days you can even see majestic Mt. Baker to the east. Fly into small tugged away airstrips or take your float plane to one of the thousand reefs or bays. Experience the full range of what nature has to offer. From a coastal environment comprising 480 miles of shoreline to mountain flying around peeks up to 2500 feet - San Juan Islands can offer it all!"
"Say farewell to worry and stress and say hello to the mellow islands vibe, a temperate year-round climate, and long, lazy hours of doing just what you want. So, relax—you’re on “island time” now!" - San Juan Islands Visitors Bureau

Not included, but available here on the site:
-Point Roberts (1RL) made by Deepfield https://flightsim.to/file/1723/point-roberts-airpark-1rl
-Stuart Island Airpark (7WA5) made by Deepfield https://flightsim.to/file/1667/stuart-island-airpark-7wa5
-Orca Island Airport (KORS) made by Aircake1 https://flightsim.to/file/1875/kors-orcas-island-airport
-Roche Habor (WA09) made by themoonline https://flightsim.to/file/4761/wa09-roche-harbor
-Anacortes Airport 74S made by SaigonJinn https://flightsim.to/file/28111/anacortes-airport-74s
Only one of these airports/airfields is paved, many are closed, private & uncharted, some don't have a windsock or any lighting and their length goes down to well around 1000 feet with widths down to 40-50 feet. Robust, light and/or high performance aircraft recomended.
All of the included airports/airstrips have been made from scratch.
I've added and tweaked missing details, terraformed the runways & surroundings,
added the appropriate frequencies, added lakes, ponds & vegetation for the entire area etc.
Not all airport/airfield names & designators may be the official/original ones.
If you have information about their real names and designators, please let me know!
Due to the amount of airports in close proximity of each other, their small size and the lack of usable object libraries,
the extent of added details has been kept rather light.
Installation:
Drop the individual airport/airstrip folders in your community package folder and you should be good to go!

I see you have Cypress Island airstrip here also, I am excited to see this as I have hiked up there and saw the old airstrip on top of the island, it is really cool but too bad they planted trees all over the strip now and you can't land there anymore, at least you can in MSFS! There is some good history about that strip.

I have yet to download this, but it looks amazing! One airport I don't see on the list is Lopez Island (S31). Maybe I missed it, if not would you be able to add it? It's missing all of its hangars, many of the trees surrounding the hangars are flattened, and it could use cars and fences for character. Anyhow, will download this tomorrow and check it all out.

Amazing pack for this area! Thanks so much for the hard work.
Would you consider doing a similar pack for Float Plane destinations in the region? Even just creating a pack with parking spots for the Float Plane docks would be amazing as MSFS added these in but did not take the time to give us parking spots so we can start cold.

When I revisit the package, I will try to incorporate some of the floatplane/seaplane bases as well. Maybe not all of them, but it's definitely still on my list. I just hadn't had the time for doing much scenery work the last half year, but slowly getting into it again.

Great work, thanks a lot!
However, there are some "bugs":
2 years ago
Thanks for letting me know! Appreciate it!
Next time I revisit this package, I will have a look at that boat.
Regarding the trees; it's probably a Wold Update that messed that up, but just to be sure: Are you using some tree or forest mods?
Will definitely put that one on the list aswell for checking!

Add custom buildings to the airfields and move it over to Simmarket and I will be first in line to purchase, what a great location 😊 It looks good as is also of course but personally I tend to stay away from airfields with default objects.
2 years ago
That would be nice, but for now unlikely mainly due to two reasons.
1) Time. I wish I had the time for creating custom buildings and objects for my sceneries at the moment, but that's unfortunately not the case recently.
2) Responsibility. I don't want to be responsible to maintain sceneries that people paid money for. Since MSFS is still pretty much a moving target, mainting scenery compatability is not feasible for everyone at everytime (see reason one).
But I take it as a compliment and maybe some day
I will get around doing some more with those airfields :)

I use this package several times a week.
It would be great if you could take on some of the airports that are on the site already. For example, Deepfield's files haven't been updated forever and one takes up 200MB. I don't think you'd be stepping on anyone's toes.

I had zero frame issues and functions perfectly with SU7/WU8 only thing was some rwys looked texture wise very distorted. For those who wish to see it in action I made a video the other day flying in the area. https://youtu.be/Oi1jO2ZLaec

Unfortunatly when using your airports i have a lot of terrain artefacts along the islands. (Spikes and othe 3d problems)
EDIT : absolutely no problem with this mod. The terrain artefacts i experiment seems more linked with MSFS than a mod. Thanks Wookie for all this work !
2 years ago
Would it be possible for you to specify an area where it's definitely happening, then I could check it out and see what I can do. The only issue in terrain I did see was at John's Island and it actually is an elevation edit from the scenery of Stuart Island 7WA5, which isn't mine.

Hello Petey.
do you know if there are any majore issues with the sceneries. I made a flight through the area yesterday and had a look from the air and all airstrips loaded up without crashing and seemed clear of trees (a problem which arose from some other sim/world updates). I'm planning to slowly update the scenery package.
