The Banning Municipal Airport is a city-owned airport located about a mile southeast of Banning, in Riverside County, California. It’s a single asphalt runway that can accommodate various aircraft, including private single-engine planes and corporate jets.
The airport is located between the Los Angeles bassin and 10 miles west of Palm Springs international airport. There’re with some hangars, a fuel island and a FBO. During the summer season, it hosts firefighting various aircraft despite being close to Hemet.
Remarks:Unfortunately, the city of Banning has began phasing it out with the approval of FAA releasing the city from its obligation to keep its in operation.
Add a real Tetrahedron (Landing Direction Indicator). The Tetrahedron is dynamic with the wind.
Replace AI generated buildings with more realistic stock/free MSFS objects (see requirements)
Add custom ground painting and replace all aprons textured
Add hundreds of small objects to make the airport a more living and immersive environment. Mostly with stocked objects which requires no 3rd party library. See requirements below.
Add several handcrafted objects all around the field (sign, ad, iconic object,…)
Add a new startup helicopter positions
Add all fences around the airport
Add a lot of signs and boards here and here on buildings, gates and fences
Add open hangars, some are empty waiting for you
Clean vegetation and TIN here and here
Extensive work to clean the underlying Bing texture to match with object
Clean all night unrealistic blue poles. Add passive blue sticks
Fix the windsock positions
Fix the PAPI 2 lights runway 26 position
Fix right traffic pattern runway 26
Remove all non-existent taxiway signs and add the correct ones
So I understand how this works, it “points” in the direction you want to land/takeoff, so it’s kind of opposite of a wind sock, which kind of points to which runway you want to use (if I explained this clearly…)
I’ve just uploaded a small updated that enhanced and tried to fix some slight issue with MSFS2024. This update has manu of my other attempt to cover MSFS2024 are also for MSFS2020. There’s only one file for the two sim’s version. Enjoy!
Fix all blue and red poles size
Fix the area at Tetrahedron (Landing Direction Indicator) in MSFS2024
Fix elevation north side of the airport
Clean vegetation and some ugly TIN but it’s still a work in progress (fix for MSFS2024)
Ya, some pipe dream of a movie studio coming out there, and some warehouse was enough for them to battle FAA, trying to close, and when western regional FAA told them they need to stay open, they went political.
They have some congress guy that got the closure mandated in the FAA reauthorization Bill that passed congress.
So basically FAA was mandated by congress to close, so some politician can grease his palms. Just hope community won’t need this during fires, or life flight missions when people that need to be flown to a farther away hospital for care.
Banning can live on in Flight simulator, soon to be joined by Santa Monica, which is scheduled to close in a couple years.
