BKL - Burke Lakefront Airport Cleveland, Ohio Version 2.0
Since its inception nearly a century ago, Cleveland Burke Lakefront Airport has been the region’s premier business airport, providing travelers with safe, enjoyable and hassle-free transportation.
Situated on the shores of Lake Erie, the airport gives beautiful climpses of the lake.

This is perhaps the most amazingly detailed freeware airport I've ever downloaded. Superb job! The museum displays and interior details just go on and on, right down to the security camera displays and plane bookings on the computer screens. I love it! I featured it at the beginning of my latest flightsim video: https://youtu.be/26ZLDdGNvu8

Hi,
Thank you so much for your rendition of Lakefront airport. It brings back good memories when I used to fly there with 727s and 737s. Very beautiful approach along the lake on the ILS to runway 24R.
Just one thing I have noted. Your windsock points in the opposite direction of the wind in v 3.00. Without your addon, the default windsocks are correct. Maybe you could have a look at this. Thank you!
Areographer author
That is odd, given that I did not put one in there. Must be that there are not windsocks IRL and I used an exclusion box to remove them. But, I'll have a look. Thank you.

Beautiful!! Is it possible for you to look at 1G1, Elyria airport just 30 miles or so west of KBKL? This is my home airport and I fly to KBKL a lot. MSFS2020 did not add the buildings and it is so disappointing... Is it possible for you to make a mod and add the buildings and hangers to it? Thank you for your excellent work!
Areographer author
Yes, I will look into it when I return to making airports. Took a bit of a break from airports ( five airports in six months) to work on some historic scenery projects.

I'd like to see better photogrammetry of the city, hate looking at melted buildings. First Energy looks decent, but the bridges along the Cuyahoga could use a bit of work..
Areographer author
Yeah, I agree. So many historic bridges in Cleveland that could use some love. Maybe when I finish with as many Ohio airport that I can I will start working on cities.

I can't believe no one has made Dayton KDAY yet. Basically the birthplace of aviation.

Thanks for this and KCLE!!!
KBKL is my "home" airport. Only improvement would be to populate the car parking area packed with Browns' tailgaters 😉
Areographer author
LOL! Thank you! What about "Guardian" fans? Noooo!

I bought the KBKL payware in the MSFS store mainly as it was my first oppurtunity to purchase something and I wanted to see how the Marketplace worked out. Turns out although I do like the modeling a bit better the airport layout and functionality itself was not improved - taxi signs were still wrong, improper slope lighting, unset taxiways for ATC, etc. So I downloaded this, deleted the textures and modelLib file and that removes any conflicts with the payware scenery. Just an FYI for anyone. Thanks to the author for a more functional airport!
Areographer author
Glad I could help, I think....LOL. Not sure what else to say about it...LOL. Curious though...do you really like their buildings that much better than this one as to only use my taxiways and parking? I mean, mine is pretty accurate and made with "Boots on the Ground".....down to the "Frog"....Oh well, at least you can use mine for something....lol. Custom "3D" steel siding on Signature Flight Support FBO....and the Aircraft garden with actual models of the T-Bird and Blue Angel F4's. But that's OK, we do this all for the fun!
