Agua Dulce Airpark (ICAO: L70) is a small public-use airport located 35 nm north of Los Angeles. Also known as Agua Dulce Airport, it has one single asphalt paved runway (4/22) measuring 4,600 x 50 ft (1,402 x 15 m). No jet traffic permitted. No ATC, use unicom 122.8, no IFR dep/app and no night operations. But self service fuel is available (only 100LL) and plenty of picnic tables, clean grass and clean bathrooms;) Expect the flight a little bumpy, there are mountains/hills on all sides. It’s a challenging approach on gusty days. Use caution for wildlife on/by the runway.
If you want to play as-real-as-it-gets : Agua Dulce airport is open to the public when there are no special events or activities like filming activities, for example “Ford vs Ferrari” in 2019 or the final act of the TV series “Bones”. The historic Star Trek movie site “Vasquez Rocks” is just 3nm South-East of the field, passing the freeway 14.

Author’s note
As for all of my MSFS mod, this small scenery is made from a pilot-eyes perspective. The scenery is inspired by aerial views from Bing and Google maps. It’s a mix between the satellite imagery displayed from MSFS and more accurate data found on Internet. I did my best based on online video and online pictures available. Hundreds of objects have been added to the default scenery to make in more live and bring a touch of an active area. If you have local pictures to help being more accurate, let me know!
Features
- Add all iconic red wall hangars. Despite being a beginner in Blender, all buildings are handcrafted.
- Some hangars have their door opened
- Add the FBO Agua Dulce Airpark Ranch main building
- Add the (also iconic) fuel station, re-created from scratch in Blender
- Add lLocal signs at holding points
- Add custom windtee (recreated from scratch). Unfortunately, it’s inop
- Fix the color of re-asphalted taxiways and runway, add weathered asphalt
- Fix and add correct windsock(s). Unfortunately they aren’t of the exact same size and color as the real ones.
- Fix circuit pattern correct position (only on the east side)

Any chance to bring both Agua and Marble Canyon on marketplace for us flying on Xbox? I know they won’t be free, but I’d like to add these small airports to my collection
Oh! I would love but it’s not at all a plan. I consider these small sceneries as 100% amateur work. I have started learning Blender, Gimp and the SDK with zero experience. I can understand these lovely airfields would be attractive for Xbox console users. But, first I’m not sure it reaches a minimum quality level and second, it would required to build a commercial structure.

Hey, VB! I totally get it if you don’t want the hassle of building a commerce structure but please, please, please don’t sell your work short. It’s as good or better than many GA airports on the market anywhere. Take a bow.

Just came across this and your other airfields today as I wanted a tour around the area. Only just completed my first leg in the JF Tomahawk but from what I’ve seen so far, they’re really nicely done and in such small packages. Thank you very much for all of these.

Few days ago, a flightsim.to member post a comment on my Agua Dulce airport. I interpreted wrongly the satellite imagery and put an electrical shelter instead of a transportable water tank for firefighting helicopters. Thanks to etovmassian, now with the v1.2.5 of L70 freely, you have a large tank capable of holding (virtually) thousands of gallons of water. Firefighting helicopters can siphon 1,000 gallons while hovering above the tank for three or four minutes, greatly reducing turnaround.

This version 2.0 is the first attempt to maximise compatibility with MSFS2024. It’s not perfect and it’s a way to minimize the work to update and keep quality. The path is long for an amateur dev like me.
Please share your feedback! Thank you.
