Nondalton Airport is a state-owned public-use airport located one nautical mile (1.85 km) northwest of the central business district of Nondalton, in the Lake and Peninsula Borough of the U.S. state of Alaska. This airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, which categorizes it as a general aviation facility. This airports has custom buildings.
I have used this airport to familiarize with the SDK (coming from Xplane development for a commercial publisher, and active in freeware too as we all should else this hobby would be pointless if all costed money!) so will be improved as I play with it, screenshots shows comparison with default and this version so you have all info you need there :)
Installation: Move the folder inside the RAR in your community folder as you do with any other addons.
Libraries: I only used DavePeople, DaveLibrary, DaveAnimals and Wookie Backcountry Library to add some clutter and a single character plus three animals here and there, I do not like personally fields full of inanimated people :)
Features:
- Fixed the horrible line showing between the two tiles in big map right over the runway thresold, now you cannot really see them even if you look for it.
- True to life Custom models for both hangars, red and blue (does not look like these are for airplanes by photos and size really) to include custom model pole in front of them (okay small detail but I like ture to life fields!)
- True to life Custom model for what looks like a generator building
- True to life Custom model for the orange silos which are quite a VRP
- Fixed the tree heigh around the airport
- Completly changed the ground texture in the main areas and created a bit of rough look.
- Addedd the runway light, apparently this airport has low edge lights which is what I have selected
- Terraformed the area to try to match what I could find in the 3 videos online I have found
- All models are VR friendly (I am using VR with the sim) so scale, materials performance are in check
Updated on 02/10/22
- Added Custom Made Threshold markings as from online videos found online
- Added lights in front of the hangars
- Added Custom Made rotating beacon with lights on red hangar as by videos found online
- Added Custom Made white poles in front of the red hangars as by videos online
Driving around Nondalton - YouTube to see what it looks like from the only video showing a bit around the airport.
This other small scenery I made is also suggested if you fly from here iliamna-lake-area-water-mask
Planned Updates not included in today's update (14/02/23):
- Will add seaplane parking spot as the lodge down the road does fishing trips
- Tweak lights to ensure they switch on only at night
- Work on the water mask near the lake/lodge
- Refine the hangars further

Been here today from Lake Hood with the Caravan. Great improvement compared to the default airport. Love the natural-rocky feel of the apron!
Cheers and thanks for your good work!

Thanks :) I tried to make the custom models and the whole look as close as the real thing as possible with the few videos and photos! It is a nice area and there are few custom fields there! Have fun!
