Free to download for PC : https://flightsim.to/file/63441/fallbrook-community-airpark-l18

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.

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 :wink:
