Thank you, it really means a lot to me as someone being Paraguay often. Latin America, and especially Paraguay is one of the forgotten regions in FlightSim. I would be super happy if you could make this MSFS2024 compatible soon. I did not evaluate details but have to say it reflects the real feeling of the airport quite well.
Thank you for making this great addon for SGAS! I have a few things to comment about the scenery though:
-The PAPI lights for RWY 20 are on the wrong side of the RWY
-The ALS lights are missing for RWY 20 (Type CALVERT 1, 900m Length)
Everything else is amazing, but I would appreciate those details to be updated! Amazing job, keep up the great work!
