    Please disregard previous submissions. Rwy 17/35 is closed as per latest satellite imagery available, but still required by the CIFP refered to by XP12. Thus I left it visible, but "X" marked at both ends. For buildings, I took those available from XP12, the best items I found to fill the footprints of the imagery. Scenery works fine into 12.1.4 or 12.2.0b7.

    17/35 is closed as far as I can see, and CIFP data not including this change, requires that rwy to validate. So I did hide a tiny 17/35 under a pavement covering the decommissioned runway. Some ramp start alterations, and AI Flow Routes added the way I could understand the manual... Any advice appreciated!

    Reviewing again the airport project, some other minor adjustments, new exclusion zones to delete autogen trees on the other side of the fence along rwy 04/22, some forests adjustments, added taxiways shoulders here and there (or background to taxiways) to match what I could see into Google satellite imagery.

    Sorry... Zooming in at max, found meanwhile some small misplacements of junctions between neighboring surfaces. Corrected hopefully.

    Updated versions to delete surfaces which were formerly classified as taxiways, plus some adjustments here and there. Good for 12.1.4, 12.2.0b5 and 12.2.0b6 at my side.

    Further to comments, modified various places to ground/pavement/concrete_D/worn. Minor corrections on roads or paths connection to the road/street north of the airport. Displays nicely into 12.1.4, 12.2.0-b5, and now 12.2.0-b6

    Further to my first submission, based on Orlandja's work (thanks to him), as well as moderator's comments, did remork this airport, as it is still open, but one runway closed due to bad condition. Background image from ESRI image, but also on aerial pictures from Goodle Maps, OpenNav, Flightaware, airport-data or Globalair sites, specifically for the taxiway to Rwy 22. However still being a rookie on WED, any comments or advices are welcome.

    Newbie into WEB... Starting from orlandja work (60657). Airport still active (ec_175_17APR2025), but runway 17!35 closed as per airport's website and Google Maps. Could not validate until all autogen_tree objects were removed. Placed other trees using vegetation/forest in point mode. Moved H29 to the helipads area showing in the background, added a second one, renamed them H1 and H2. Displays flawless into my XP 12.1.4.

    Tweaked to ensure all taxiways were intersecting correctly and taxi lines were correct. Also updated the ramp starts for small aircraft only. Now awaiting any X-Plane suggestions and updated object notifications.

    Grosse Ile Municipal Airport, located near Detroit, MI is a non-controlled small airport on an island in the Detroit River. Although the sim shows a circled wind sock. What is actually there is a wind direction cone made of metal, supposedly invented and placed by the late Thomas Edison. A great many celebrities flew out of the Naval Air station there during and after WWII. 2nd upload, due to the removal of an extra object on field that was not needed.
