a sensational job friend, I wonder how many hours of work it took… It looks great, tomorrow I’ll take a walk in the area!
Thanks! I didn’t keep track how how many hours I worked on it but it’s been about a week including time in Blender
Looks great. 
I will fly there as soon as I can
Having some difficulty with this scenery… No matter how I install it I keep getting black and white checkerboards for taxiways and roads within area of scenery, and while I did not get a screen capture and ground level vegetation is creeping through the textures. So here is captures of my install and areal view. I did check spelling of file as your note mentions. Do the custom textures need to be place somewhere outside of the file? 
The installation looks correct, I’ll check this out ASAP today
Thanks! Only Scenery I’ve hand any difficulty with so far. I tried both the open folder when you first unzip, cleared that out and tried the zip file contained within the master and both gave me the same results.

Hi guys, while I haven’t found an issue with the custom textures (I unfortunately can’t replicate the issue and when compared to other projects that included them, setup and output were fine, your installations were correct as well), I have figured out a solution. I can remake extremely similar textures using MSFS default textures so that the looks will be near identical while not using custom textures. I will work on this tonight and tomorrow and should have a fixed solution within a few days.
Thanks!

I have released a new version that should fix the texture issues you were seeing, if you still encounter this issue, please let me know!
New release location: https://github.com/julysfire/julysfire-MSFS2020-P52/releases/tag/V1.1
Thanks!
Thank You! Sorry I didn’t get back sooner but medical stuff always gets in the way. Anyway, loaded er up when I got done, and it appears to be just fine. Really enjoyed flying around it for a few touch and goes then off to Sedona and back! Looks good and I appreciate all the time you share!
