Iditarod Checkpoint #2
Yentna Bend Strip is one of 24 airstrips and airports on the Iditarod Trail that runs from Anchorage to Nome. The Iditarod Airforce is a group of pilots who volunteer their time and planes to service the 24 race checkpoints.
Yentna Bend Strip is not included in MSFS 2020. I have created it from aerial photos and images I found on the internet and from the data on the AirNav and SkyVector web sites. It is a simple 1000 foot dirt/turf strip. The only real feature is the Yentna Bend Roadhouse which is the checkpoint and reststop for the sled dog racers.
The actual ICAO, FAA, and IATA airport code for Yentna Bend strip is 0AK2. However, MSFS 2020 has that code given to Cape Simpson Airport. There are some sources on the internet that have it also. So I have given Yentna Bend Strip "0AK4" in order to add it to the sim. If someone has a better solution, please let me know. (BTW: Cape Simpson airport is closed).
Airport Information:
AirNav: 0AK2 - Yentna Bend Strip
FAA Identifier: 0AK2
Installation
Copy the tn-airport-0AK4-yentna-bend-strip folder inside of the WinRAR file into your MSFS Community folder.

I am getting a checkerboard pattern on the runway, like lighter and darker textures of snow in repeating squares. I have the listed dependencies and your other airports seem to work fine. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for your airports. They're great.

I've seen that before also. I'll try different materials to see if I can eliminate that.
Thanks.
