As all of my MSFS mod, this small scenery is made from pilot-eyes perspective. I flew there several time for pattern training and stops at Plus One Club house, and I’m an amateur scenery developer. This mod is made with 99% of MSFS default objects library. Download for free at : https://flightsim.to/d/vbazillio/ramona-krnm
All airport buildings have been replaced: hangars, FBO’s, Air Attack Base, Classic Rotors museum, all external fence and gates, fuel island, executive hangar, airport beacon…
All new and very specific taxiway signs… except the blue ones on Air Attack Base. Let me know if you know what’s written on them! I need your help.

When starting playing with MSFS Scenery Editor, I never though one day my amateur work will be featured in the last episode of “The Best Free Add-ons”
I’ve just updated Ramona (v1.2.94) with two optional and static S-2T CDF Air Tankers at the Cal Fire Air Attack Base. It requires to download the mod from by groovyy available at S-2 Tanker SimObjects for Microsoft Flight Simulator | MSFS
(put the “s2_tanker_simobjects” folder in your Community folder) and the last version of my scenery.

Fix several textures that disappeared for whatever reason.

Add new free model animated windsocks by TheAirportGuys. The main windsock is lighten at night. Thanks to him!

Here’s version 2 of Ramona with an extra file for those wanted to use it with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
For MSFS2024 users, don’t forget to download version 2 of the scenery BUT ALSO the Fix for MSFS2024. You need the two mods in your MSFS2024 Community folder. Flightsim.to allows 2 files to download for a single addon. For MSFS2020, just ignore the second file to download. Free to download for PC: https://flightsim.to/file/25710/ramona-krnm

Replace static aircraft
Update the EPIC fuel island\nUpdate all fences to MSFS2024 compatible

Feel free to share your feedback, as I particularly struggle with some exclusion polygons to make compatible this MSFS2020 scenery. It’s still work-in-progress and very few feature are not visible in the MSFS2024 version. Let me know!
Vincent, thank you for bringing your fantastic airports up-to-date for us.
I love that so many of these are CA airports. As a GA pilot here in CA, I am so appreciative that you’ve made these and continued to improve them over the years
THANKS TO Jeremy U. the new version 2.0.1 add CAL FIRE’s North American OV-10 Bronco Air Tactical Aircraft and Grumman S-2T AirTanker static aircraft. Beautiful 3D model Customized for Ramona by Jeremy U. Please check his awesome scenery of Hemet (KHMT) at simMarket: HEMET-RYAN KHMT MSFS

THANKS goes also to Antoine. With this 2.0.1 new version, MSFS2024 users don’t need anymore the separate mod for MSFS2024. Only the main folder is required in your Community folder. You can delete vbcorp-KRNM-MSFS2024-fix
