KAPF Naples Florida

With my apologies to all who downloaded KAPF and didn't have the flag (like gray eagle)...I can't upload a dds file attached so here is a link to an updated tower with the four red obstruction lights I added and ALL the tower textures. Add them to the texture folder and replace the tower bgl in the scenery folder. When it says replace? say YES. Thanks to gray eagle for catching this.

Please let me know if you catch anything else. Weird things happen when I went back at late night when something came into my mind while I work on stuff. I don't know how it didn't get in the folder.
 
In looking at your aerial shot, I am going to see if I can re-texture the grass textures in Sketchup to not look so artificial. They look better in Sketchup but I guess after their MDCx conversion and then opening up in Prepar3D...if I can screenshot an aerial shot of the surrounding grass in P3D maybe I can match it better. I hope so. Wish me luck! Now it's "lights out, taps, lights out".
 
I notice that you did not replace the tower bgl because I can't see the red obstruction lights unless you shot it when they were off. Now I am REALLY going to bed. TTY tomorrow.
 
I hate to be the bearer of bad news....but when I replaced the older tower.bgl with the newer one....the tower disappears.
And yes....in P3D V4.5 in Tagalog "wala" tower= no new tower.

Wait for the next whole update then. We have had anomalies before with shared sceneries for whatever the reason. Use the tower you have it just doesn't have the new red blinking lights. When and if I can update the "grass" textures to match P3D then I will check it all out on MY P3D setup and if all is well, I will zip up THAT set of folders from my P3D Addons and put a link here as V2.

Sounds like a plan.
Btw, I do have a yellow blinking light on top of the tower (original tower).

That is true. There are supposed to be four red one on each of four quadrants which are on the new one. I will be releasing beta v2 tomorrow after the updates (cool ones) to the firehouse. The new tower will be in there because I will be updating the AFCAD. Stuff to do now before church tonight so I probably won't be back on here until tomorrow.
 
Here is Version 2 Beta for Naples Airport with the updated firehouse #3 and the tower. I have also tweaked a couple of aprons. Again, please check it out and point out anything that stills needs fixing before I submit it to our resources for all to share. It is 2025 completely up to date with the exception of that complicated new General Aviation Terminal. I will probably tackle it and then add it later because I am going to have to redo Art Poole's General Aviation apron he created in 2009. That is why I am releasing it now without it. I have to get back and complete KRDU's complicated geometric FBO. It will be hours of work on its own but that will finish KRDU to release here too. After these I am going to CRJ school and some flying. (Virtually)

KAPF Airport Beta V2
 
The new tower looks really nice with the extra blinking red lights on top. You did a magnificent job on this one. (y)
Thank you for your efforts and creativity in putting this together for us. We appreciate you!
I use the helo so that I can explore all the scenery . BTW, this scenery also works great in P3DV5.4 :)

I am so glad to hear it. it looks from the corner of the photo that you have the roof textures on the hangers which in the beginning was an issue with V5.4 but I guess when I converted them all to P3D in MDCx that took care of the issue. That's great that more simmers can use it. All the taxiways and runways are correct for 2025 according to the Airport Diagram so anyone flying on VATSIM does not have to worry about clearance or landing instructions. The comm frequencies have also been verified and a couple corrected. I am going to see about that last FBO for KRDU and will go back to posting in that thread now. Have fun flying. Anyone who wants can use the last mediafire link to download ("beta v2"). I think I will wait until next week to finish the General Aviation Terminal and then add it to the resources.
