Updated - v1.2 - Wdiens the runwayto current size. (KLBE completed a runway widening project back in 2021, but it looks like the Bing maps were just recently updated for this area) Moves taxiway signs next to the runway to their new positions based on wider runway. Adjusts location of PAPI lights. Removes runway centerline and touchdown lights that did not exist at the real airport. Hattip to NJSim for letting me know about the updated sattelite imagery.
Updated - v1.1 adds additional handcrafted buildings including a detailed interior of the Vee Neal Service Center.
Improvements to the Arnold Palmer Regional airport in Latrobe, PA. The default aitport has no terminal building, incorrect taxiways, etc. This mod corrects the taxiways (including signage), removes the runway closed in real life, corrects and adds parking where appropriate including accurate apron markings, etc.
Includes several handcrafted buildings including:
- Control Tower
- Main Terminal
- Fire Station
- Hangars
- Vee Neal Aviation FBO
- Vee Neal Aviation Service Centers
- LJ Aviation FBO
- LJ Aviation Service Center
Additional small details added like Glideslope antenna, weather station, etc.

Any updates planned for this still? Could probably get some good photos of the scenery for you during the airshow next month!

It's on the list :-) I do have some additional pictures for some of the other hangars - just need the time to get back to it. I also have a custom built jetway I made for KBTV that I want to re-purpose for this mod as they are much lower and are closer to what is at LBE. That said, I'll never say no to more pictures :-) Drop me a private message.

Fantastic job! Kudos not to be one of the super lazy devs that abandon their addons on here!

I used to live in Pittsburgh and had gone to this airport once. Don't remember much about it. Thank you for doing it. The only thing is you might want to increase the intensity of lights for night time. Seem bit dark at the gates. Also, the parking lot behind the terminal is barren. Might want to put few cars there. Great job !!
P.S. Adding standing or seating people to the balcaony would add to immersion as well. Take a look at MUCM - Cuba.

This is pretty great and better treatment than I expect to see for this type of airport. I hope you will do more USA airports like this!
BTW, can you add marshallers to the 2 gates? They don't show up for me here.

I’ll see what I can do. Usually all of that comes in automatically based on the gate and your aircraft type. I’ll look into it.

Excellent work! Please consider adding some cars in the main parking area (Lot A). Looking forward your next project! (maybe KPIT ??)

Someone else is already working on KPIT, so I'll leave that to him. :-) But yes, more details like the cars in more correct placement is on the list for this mod eventually

Awesome! I did a touch and go here in a Cessna 182 with some friends earlier this year. We took off from KAGC. It was my first time in a small airplane and next to the pilot at the controls. This airport also has an amazing annual airshow with the Blue Angels. Please do KAGC, it needs the same love and attention as you put into this addon.

Very Nice! I am familiar with this airport and what a fantastic look you have captured! Fellow pilots, this is a great destination as Denunzio's , a very fine Italian, Steak, and Seafood Restaurant, s located in the primary facility offering a splendid view of airport comings and goings. A great place to fly to with your best friends on board.
