Asheville Regional Airport (KAVL) runway 17/35 is open, old runway 16/34 is closed

This could be the same Problem that I have with Stuttgart (EDDS) where it also seem to hone in on the taxiway rather the runway. Have it reported in Zendesk quite a while ago but no fix so far. I’m on Xbox so no workaround possible.:sleepy_face:

So EDDS… may be? :grin:

This guy has done a great job improving KAVL:

There are 2 scenery mods for Asheville, NC on flightsim.to that goes well with this AP mod. The ILS freq is correct also.

Seconding this addon. It’s a must have for KAVL.

Ah, too bad: I’m on Xbox. Lived in Durham for quite some time so would be nice to have the Airport as well as the AddOn. :smiling_face:

I am repeating your back course right now in preparation for developing a new YouTube video for ‘LSH Maddog md82’ using PF3 / MCE / and to debut a new free utility called OSF - LINKER that is close to release.

I have used two great routes from KAVL to KATL
- DCT ODF DCT CORCE GLAVN1 for rwy 8L
- DCT ODF DCT CORCE OZZZI1 for rwy 27R

Although I don’t really need it for my new video, there is a ‘fairly ok mod’ available for approaching KAVL that attempts to correct the rwy issue. I currently use it but it has pushback issues and crazy looking high dirt walls from editing FS2020 scenery files.

I have been using the above mod for a while now and love it. I’d say it’s am must have for anyone that loves flying KAVL like me being from the area. I got a question for some of you. Anyone know why when Asobo updated the scenery from asheville they removed the power plant there on Lake Julian? It was there until I think the first North American world update and then it was basically just flat land. And nothing has added it back. Just curious if anyone knew why?

The power plant was demolished over the last couple of years. It was removed to make way for a new gas plant, which is (I think) fully constructed now. It looks a bit different from the old, demolished coal plant, and I have a feeling if it’s missing in MSFS, it’s due to outdated data from the demolition period. Here’s what the new plant looks like (forgive me if you already know all of this!):

The retired and demolished coal plant which was depicted in MSFS before:

Lastly, here’s a satelite image showing where the new primary structures live. You can also see the large footprint of the demolished coal plant.

Awww man. No more getting smoked out making the traffic pattern over the plant haha. I hated getting left traffic from 16 when I was taking lessons there. I know they now have 35-17 now but still same same.

I actually wasn’t aware they tore the plant down and turned it into a natural gas plant. Guess duke is ready to fleece their customers for even more money. Up here in New England electricity is DUMB expensive.

Got approval from the World Hub team on a significant modification to KAVL. The mod includes the taxiway/runway swap, individually placed taxiway lights, correct taxiway names per the FAA June 2024 Airport Diagram, good jetway positioning and placement of almost all nodes for aprons, taxiways, taxi signs etc. using coordinates from the Bing Maps aerial and more. It is scheduled for release with the July 11 Airac update, so it should be in the sim within a few days after that date. Hope you like it!
