The default FSX scenery for Kadena Airport, (RODN) comprises a few buildings scattered around the airport and bears little resemblance to the real airport.
Using FSX scenery objects, (and based on satellite imagery), this add-on attempts to present a more real-life version of the airport and its facilities.
A similar approach has been taken with smaller island airstrips.
If you do not have FSX Acceleration installed, some of the minor scenery objects may not be visible, - such as car-filled parking lots and median strips with shrubs.

Installation:
Install in the normal manner for add-on scenery.
That is,
. copy or move the folder Kadena_&_Okinawa_Islands to your Add-on Scenery folder of Microsoft Flight Simulator X
. start FSX and go the Scenery Library
. add a new area, selecting the Kadena_&_Okinawa_Islands folder
. make it Priority 1

Also included is a flightplan which takes in Kadena and all of the airstrips. FSX and Plan-G formats are included.

This scenery is released as Freeware, and was created using Airport Design Editor.
Initially used for a flight conducted by the Coffs Flight Simmers.
Thanks to Matt Schultz for his suggestion to enhance Kadena.
