ICAO KCDC
Cedar City regional airport serves Cedar City, in southwest Utah. with direct flights to Salt Lake City; also it is the location of the Southwest Utah University Flight School, and serves as a hub for multiple charter and private planes.
It sometimes serves as a stage for parking of military jets and helicopters and firefighting aircraft. (In a good day you can see F16 and F15 doing flybys).
The terminal was created in blender from the ground up, using images, pictures and Bing earth.
This is a new version of the Cedar City Regional Airport. A complete overhaul of the airport which includes:
A new terminal created in Blender, using Physical Base Rendering materials.
A set of waving flags, created using the library WINDY THINGS, published by trfsto, using his guides and tutorials, found here https://flightsim.to/file/14024/windy-things.
Every parking spot was set up as they are in real life.
Taxiway yellow lines and holds updated in the main runway.
Repositioning of all the hangars, where it will show new car parking spots in the street.
Added new lights to the taxiways.
New objects added, like including ILS antennas and lights
No changes made to the operation of the runway so, IFR, VOR and VFR should work the same.
I recommend you to erase the old version, including the Ev1lT1ck-Flag_Repaint folder, then Unrar the new folder and drop it in the community folder.
Please check the current change log.
Not a complaint, but just an observation and suggestion. The airport package folder structure seriously needs to be restructured. There are way too many "nested folders" with repeated name-types that end up containing files with then way too long file names (after the airport is loaded into the user's Community Folder, which may not be in the MSFS default location) that result in exceeding the Windows OS file length names. For instance, the below is just a few examples:
ev1lt1ck-airport-kcdc-cedar-city\ContentInfo\ev1lt1ck-airport-kcdc-cedar-city\Thumbnail.jpg
ev1lt1ck-airport-kcdc-cedar-city\Scenery\ev1lt1ck-kcdc-cedarcityut\KCDC.bgl
ev1lt1ck-airport-kcdc-cedar-city\Scenery\airport-kcdc-cedar-city\kcdc-terminal\texture\BRICKS082A_4K_AMBIENTOCCLUSION.PNG.DDS
All of the above folder "trees" repeat the airport ICAO code and airport name numerous times and just lengthen the folder tree structure for no good reason. The first example actually uses a folder tree structure that is 3 folders deep and almost 100 characters long to contain ONE file called "Thumbnail.jpg" that could be placed in the original folder, and eliminating the rest of the folder tree altogether.
"Nested Folder" trees that are multiple folders long (deep) because of repeating naming of the folders are a database managers nightmare, and eventually result in the whole structure failing to work correctly.
Like I said, just an observation and not a complaint. But there will be some MSFS users with their Community Folders in a different than default location that, when adding this airport to the Community Folder, will exceed their OS's file naming length allowance and it may even "crash" MSFS itself.

I used to live in Cedar City, I took commuters from here to Las Vegas fairly regularly. Awesome recreation of a great small town airport!

Excellent! You should post a list of any scenery libraries such as Windy Things. Any others?

From the description:
The package contains 2 folders, “ev1lt1ck-airport-kcdc-cedar-city” and “Ev1lT1ck-Flag_Repaint”, which have to be extracted to your Community folder.
“ev1lt1ck-airport-kcdc-cedar-city” contains all the elements, components, materials and modifications to the airport. This is the main file.
“Ev1lT1ck-Flag_Repaint” contains the waving flags created using WINDY THINGS library. If you choose not to extract it to the Community folder, the main scenery will work with the difference that it will NOT show the waving flags.

Maybe consider putting the airport code somewhere in the description or the title or even the file itself. Thanks. Nice!
