This is an MSFS 2020 mod to go along with REDWING 1935 mods

• it adds new airstrips that existed in 1935
• it modifies existing airports to their configuration from 1935
• it removes existing airports not yet built in 1935

Recreated airfields are based on real data and information from 1935 days. They mostly are small airfields located around or between large airports provided by Redwing.
The airfields use objects from Redwing airports (usually the closest one). If you don’t own them, fields, runways will be present but scenery will be missing.

Mod location: https://www.bagolu.com/mods/scenery/usa-east-coast-1935/

DOCUMENTATION

Basic documentation is included in the package (this same file).

The Documents directory contains airports maps to help you land.

Additionaly, I’ve made a map with radio navigation facilities from ElectronVolt’s addon for that region.

You can download it :

• in png format
• or pdf format
