Say hello to S45 – Siletz Bay State Airport. I first came across this little field back in July of 2011 on a trip to the coast. As soon as I laid eyes on it, I knew I’d have to add it to my list of projects. There’s just something about it that calls to me; the colors, the character, and definitely the location. Located just south of Lincoln City on the Oregon coast, this is an ideal airport for stop-overs on a coastal jaunt. I’ve read stories of fliers doing just that on their vacation runs, stopping overnight at S45 to pitch their tents under the wing.

It’s also well-placed to link several other Orbx PNW gems, including Stark’s Twin Oaks, Creswell, and Goheen, among others. This will be my second-to-last PNW airport for a while as we’re moving focus to other regions, so enjoy. Development is about 75% done. It’s all down to details, ambiance, and all those “flows” now. This will also be one of the debut airports for our new CreatureFlow libraries, so be sure to bring your bug spray.

Here’s where it stands at the moment. Bear in mind, these are alpha screenshots and are bound to change in small (and less small) ways before release.

Very nice surprise Bill. I was just up to Seattle last week and made a point on the way back to Redding, CA to go out of my way to visit Starks Twin Oaks in person. Loved it and of course I felt I knew the place like a local after all the time spent flying in you and your teams rendition of it. Spot on I might add. And to top it off there was some AI traffic at the time too. 8)

I took some pictures, so when I get a chance I'll post them in General Discussion.

Hi Bill,

That's a great looking surprise especially since I have decided to spend more time close to home in the PNW for the time being. I got in trouble with corrupted files and I think, way too many scenery files and addons, so after a clean reinstall I am being more careful in choosing my addons. I think Siletz Bay will fit in nicely.

good flights, Cal

That's the airport's beacon. I guess you could crawl up there with a handheld 2-way radio and call yourself the "tower". ::)
