Free to download for PC : Fallbrook Community Airpark (L18) - MSFS Add-on - Flightsim.to
Fallbrook is a small general aviation airport is uniquely located. Few miles between San Diego, Los Angeles and Palm Springs, it’s unique, sited on a lone mesa a few hundred feet above the city. “Its spectacular runway views include Mt. Palomar, home to the world-famous 200-inch reflecting telescope, to the east. To the west is the Marine’s Camp Pendleton, to the south is the San Luis Rey Valley, and to the north sits the largely agricultural community of Fallbrook, most famous for its avocados, and a handful of celebrities who mostly want to remain anonymous” (source AirportJournal Returning Fallbrook Airport to Former Glory – Airport Journals).
IMPORTANT : please note that my skill in terraforming were highly challenged and that I’m not fully satisfied with the result but so far it’s the best I can do. For example, the taxiway going uphill are far from perfect and should be taken at slow speed and with maximum caution.
Features

Version 1.2 tries to improve the elevation and terraforming which is a challenge for my dev skills. Don’t expect perfection. I finally add the red box around the pulsating VASI as it is in real life. And enhance and fix several minor things here and here. Hope you enjoy!

It would be great if the upcoming World Hub would provide a way for you to push your improvements into the base sim. I’m not sure if that’s how it’s going to work, but one can dream.
As far as I know it’s not design this way. Hopefully as some of my 3D objects and my capability to drop hundreds of small objects here and here would crash the console

Version 3.0.0 Update Released!
Forgotten on my workbench since March 2025, this airport is finally getting its long-overdue update. After Sim Update 4, several default objects were removed or replaced by Microsoft/Asobo. This v3.0 update replaces all missing objects, mainly buildings and hangars. Free for PC MSFS2020/24: Fallbrook Community Airpark (L18) - MSFS Add-on - Flightsim.to
Important Installation Notes:
- MSFS 2024 Users: Starting with v3.0.0, the downloaded
.ZIP now contains two folders. You must copy both folders into your Community folder. Please keep the zzz- prefix in the folder name intact to ensure proper loading order.
- MSFS 2020 Users: You only need the main folder; you can safely ignore the
zzz- folder.
Changelog & Improvements:
The entire airport has been completely realigned with the latest Bing Maps data (using the ground imagery featured in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024).
- Runway & Markings: Fully updated runway width, colors, and all markings.
- Runway Textures: Enhanced runway textures (MSFS 2024 only).
- Static Aircraft: Replaced the default SimObject airplanes with performance-friendly, low-poly static models.
- Object Fixes: Restored missing hangars and buildings (MSFS 2024 only).
- Taxiways: Fixed and updated the taxiway lines on the runway.
- Textures: Fixed transparency issues on several textures.
- Economy: Updated the fuel price!
A Quick Note on Elevation Issues (Sorry!)
This is by far my most difficult scenery to develop due to the massive amount of conflicting elevation data. Because of this, some terrain issues still exist. You may encounter a few bumps and some steep or strange slopes around the airport. I appreciate your patience and understanding as I continue to work through these tricky elevation bugs!

How do you get your information on taxiway signage? Do you actually fly to all these airports? That’s the only way I’ve found to get accurate information on the real signage.
(I can’t help myself but take pictures whenever I fly into an airport with dreams of redoing them in FS. I wish I was better at creating building textures with appropriate weathering and shadows)
The vast majority of airport I build for MSFS are on my real log book. As a leisure PPL pilot, I record most of my flight with several Gopro (if you want see my Youtube) But even with these, I don’t have all signs from all around the airport I need. Another source of data is… Internet. Search Internet is part of the process of collecting data. Static images and other pilots videos sometimes hide a piece of taxiway sign in the frame. A Sherlock Holmes activity. Finally, high resolution Google Maps or Bing Maps also can reveal if there’s a taxiway sign or not. And sometimes, you just ask the Community…
Few really figured out that most of the buildings and hangars I use for my scenery are default. I’m also bad in making realistic texture for my handcrafted object.

That’s what I was expecting for an answer, but, I was hoping you knew some source for taxiway sign design…
