Diamond Point Airport is a private community airport located on the northeast corner of Miller Peninsula in Clallam County, Washington, 8 mi (13 km) east of Sequim.
Former FS2004 and FSX users might know the airport as it is a classic that was rendered many times in detail and in various simulators.
The airport is a few miles E of W28 Sequim (https://flightsim.to/file/5657/sequim-valley-airport-w28-wa-us) and a short hop accross the Juan de Fuca strait from KFHR Friday Harbor (included in MSFS).
The airport is very interesting and challenging. The runway is quite narrow and induces a false sense of perspective for altitude estimation. Additionally the winds and downdrafts can pose some challenges. Be sure to read carefully the information linked below and follow the procedures for noise abatement.
As a bonus I'm including also a complete overhaul of WA45 Olympic Field (https://www.airnav.com/airport/WA45) which was featured in previous renditions as well. This small and challenging turf airstrip is just a few miles to the S of 2WA1.
I have absolutely no information about this small turf airstrip but I was triggered by the high number of cars parked in the area. The only explanation I have is that there is a cannabis shop nearby at Discovery Bay :)
Be sure to check also my W28 Sequim scenery as it is a few nm away and makes a perfect triangle to practice patterns and touch and goes.

Hello!
Enjoying 2WA1 scenery as before, but it seems that the windsock is reversed. I'm not sure if this happened because of SU6 or was so before, but it definitely shows the wind direction 180° different from what is set. Here are a couple of screenshots:

Can you, please, correct this?

2WA1 is a nice enough place to fly from, its simple, but fits in its environment quite well. But the included WA45 is truly appalling. For the full length of the runway is a narrow puddle, I assume for landing float planes, given the docks. There is no way this puddle would exist in real life, in that location, and no way it could be deep enough to land on (it is far too narrow). Remove that absurd puddle and earn back 2 stars.

i am not here to fulfill your requests nor to beg your stars.
the airfield is of course there, simply check airnav and satellite images.
next time you go bashing people’s work at lest try to fact check your claims.

I seem to remember that you could open one of the garage/hanger doors by tuning COM2 to a certain frequency.
It would be nice to see some signage in your rendition - which is wonderful thanks.

Is there maybe a chance for Port Angeles? It´s very close to Sequim and Diamond Point and it is missing all the airport buildings. Maybe there´s a chance of adding some of them? It would be great 😊
