KTYS McGhee Tyson, Knoxville, TN
This airport is developed with static Military, Commercial Airliner and General Aviattion Aircraft. For those users that don't want static aircraft, I am including a file in the no-static-acft folder along with instructions on how to copy the file to the correct location to remove the commercial airliners and GA, but leaving the military aircraft.
To use the static aircraft you will need to install UK2000 Common Library (free, in marketplace), FSLTL (free) and AGAIM (free, if you don't have this, you will not be able to download it, AIG been having server problems for a long time). FSLTL and AIGAIM provides aircraft, FedEx, UPS, American, Boeing Business Jet and Delta. All of the GA aircraft is provided by UK2 and Microsoft.
The jetway bug is still causing issues. I may later consider just adding static jetways, until a fix is released.
The 134 ARW hangar was modeled using two photos so it's not close to the correct size or even look like the real thing.
At first start, I felt that this airport was small, but after modeling all the 3D models I changed my feelings about the size, but this was a fun airport to do.
The one thing that I'm not satisfied with is the Terraforming (tunnel) beneath part of the main terminal. I am trying to smooth the sides of the tunnel out so to have a better appearance. The parking garage is also lower than the rest of the airport, but my terraforming skills are not good enough to attempt that yet.
AI does strange things such as landing and taxing in the woods, but eventually end up at a gate. Also on taxing to runway 5R, near the hold short line, all aircraft appear to make a move to the left and back to the right, inline with the taxi lines. AI seems to not follow taxi line sometimes.
I decided to model aprons, roads and taxiways as 3D models and place them using projected mesh as appose to drawing aprons in the sim. I find it easier and looks cleaner and you have more choices in selecting textures.

Need some help please. I've run myself out of ideas 😊
I get a checkerboard pattern (white and gray squares) around the airport runway grass edges. Runway surface is fine. All airport details are there and look great.
To troubleshoot, I have removed all addons, deleted the ktys community directory, and made sure I have latest version downloaded and in my community folder.
I used addon linker to make sure no addons in either my defined community folder, or the MSFS default community and official folder had any addons loaded.
If I install version 1.0.8 - no problems. All newer versions with same checker board result.

Another user had the same problem. Turned out to be one of the default textures I used, Not sure if that texture file was corrupt or missing on his system or not. Since this is only happening to you I suspect you have a corrupt texture file. The other user didn't want to try the repair or reinstall option. I don't blame him because it's such a large download. I ended up changing the texture I used and his problem was fixed. I will try to resolve it so you don't need to reinstall. Use the windows snipping tool to take a screen shot and email it to me and I will change the texture in that area and have you try it to see if it fix your problem. If so I can release that version.

Excellent work. Work of this level of precision is unexpected here. You can make as many changes as you want. 😊 This far exceeds the payware version.

I am liking this a lot but would you please work on it for a while longer between updates? Seems like another update every day or two and it is an airport I may fly to three or four times a year.

I know there have been many changes, but with v1.0.13 I'm about done. You're not required to download the new update unless you want to.

Hi, glad to know the good work continues. I'm not sure about the need or not of the fix (exclusion rectangle), because IronMinium also added the Factory Service Building in his latest release.
10 months ago
The exclusion rectangle took out other buildings that should have not been removed including the FD just south the terminal. All of his addon buildings are there, I removed my buildings, so the exclusion is not needed. Just try it.

Awesome! Is it possible to redesign the 'Signature' open hangar so planes can go underneath?

No sure what hangar you are talking about, send a pic.

Thanks for this awesome scenery. Some static Vision Jets around the Cirrus complex would be a great addition.
10 months ago
Good idea, already added the SR22, the vision jet SF50 is not available from Asobo, Microsoft, AIG or FSLTL. I will try to find a freeware that will work.

Scenery looks great!
One fix I would like to see is a reduction in the number of random ramp lights placed around the airport. There appear to be lights everywhere! Google Earth 3D will show you where they're at and such.
10 months ago
Please send me the info on how to find ramp lights on Google Earth 3D. I know that sometimes you can see them because of shadows, but that depends on what time of day the satellite imagery was captured. If you know of a different way, please do educate me a little.

Still very nice scenery. Something to point out is that some static airliners are placed just exactly where a parking spot is, so those ones (some static - not all - or parking spots) should be eliminated.
10 months ago
Yes, the sim doesn't, but it should as with previous sims know when a parking spot is already in use and is not available to be used by AI or the user aircraft. This is why you see double aircraft parked in one spot. I have use the delete method in other scenery. In my next update v1.0.9, I will delete those spots used by static planes including the military

For those having the pink/grey or black/white checkerboard issue, send a pic to my email.

All, forgot to include a no static GA and commercial airliner version in v1.0.4-1.0.6. Just uploaded v1.0.7 to resolve this.

Any ideas on why the medians on the runways have checkerboard patterns? This happened before on previous installs, never could get it fixed. Appreciate any leads thanks!
10 months ago
Well, whatever it is, it's a conflict with the stock airport. I removed all my mods and the checkerboard pattern persisted. Something just doesn't agree. Good news is Iron Minion's Cirrus Service Center building Mod works fine either way!
