Duncan Airport (CAM3). This airport is located 13NM West North-West of Victoria International Airport (CYYJ) on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
Duncan Airport is the home of Duncan Flying Club and Action Ultralights Flight Training School.
The default MSFS scenery needed to be updated so I decided to research the area and the airport by examining over thirty photos and videos as well as using Google Earth for the most up-to-date info. I have taken the liberty of adding two Helipads which do not actually exist in real life at this airport.
IMPORTANT:
1. Along with this airport you will need to download and place in your Community folder only two files from the full download package from - MSFS 2020 Object Library by colinj - https://flightsim.to/file/16007/msfs-object-library-with-150-models-ranging-from-towers-hangers-terminals-to-cones the two files for your Community folder are - library1v14-cbj and library2v14-cbj I used these Object Libraries for the hangars.
2. The other required download is for the people that I have placed throughout the sceneries. Download and place in your Community folder – Dave’s 3D People Library from - https://flightsim.to/file/5452/dave-s-3d-people-library
3. Also download and copy to your Community Folder the Mikea.at – AssetPack for some additional objects. - https://flightsim.to/file/1923/mikea-at-assetpack
SUGGESTION - but NOT a requirement.
If you do not have the "Powerines and Solar Farms" mod by mamu82 I highly recommend it for real life powerline placements.

It turns out all my windsocks were pointing the wrong way! I thought MS had sorted that long ago, but all fixed now, thanks.

I'm really enjoying this, you've packed a lot into a small field, including a decent choice of parking slots. Just one observation - are the windsocks reversed? I see them pointing into the wind rather than away from it. Keep up the great work, I look forward to seeing some more strips from you.

Thanks for your comment and question.
No, the windsocks are correct - remember the wide open part of the windsock is catching the wind and when I was learning to fly (IRL) the instructor always reminded me that we fly "OUT of the sock" and INTO the wind... Doesn't look like I can attach a screenshot to show you. The only issue is the flag as it does not react to the wind.
Also, this is only my third airport my first two can also be found here at - https://flightsim.to/file/42437/read-island-airstrip-cria-and-redonda-bay-airstrip-crba

Lovely, thanks a lot!
One thing that I see that could be improved would be the very hard transition line between the default and your texture... makes it look a bit artificial and unrealistic.
other than that it looks very nice 😊

Thank you. Yes I agree this being my third time creating scenery I have a lot to learn. I do need to make that improvement.
I am curious - Did the static aircraft show up? Because I wondered that if someone does not have one of the static aircraft in their simobjects library would they still show up.
