Henry Tift Myers Airport Scenery

Dimus

SOH-CM-2025
This one was made specially for rdaniell who inspired me when he showed me a picture of the terminal building.

The scenery represents KTMA FA08 Henry Tift Myers Airport in Tifton, Tift county, Georgia, USA. Used for training by the USSAC in WWII it returned to civil authorities in 1947. The airport was renamed Henry Tift Myers Airport in honor of Tifton native Colonel Henry T. "Hank" Myers, who was the first pilot of Air Force One.

It is already uploaded here and at Avsim (will probably show tomorrow at Avsim). A few shots:

The real one:

The FSX one (unfortunately I do not have the Carenado C337, if someone has it please take a screenshot for me):

Original AFCAD and traffic file was made by rdaniell. I added the custom objects, some taxiways and the landclass.

Will this photo suffice?

Hope this is what you wanted. Very Nice job on the airport. Thanks for your gift and efforts.

If I could send you some photos of KNQA (millington Muni) hopefully you could redo that one. :jump:

Thanks again.

Thank you richoday for the screenshot and Roger for the sticky.


Hi Dimus,

I know it's not enough detail (I could take photos from the ground of the buildings for you but here is google earth map.

View attachment 74021

You can see to the left of the runway they are building a road that will be a bypass around the city to Highway 51 (veterans Parkway).

The added road construction detail would enhance the accuracy of the airport for FSX. There is a blog that has aerial progress (photos) of the construction and some extra detail
may lend to the actual runway itself (8,000 x 200 ' strip).

If you click on any one photo, it will enlarge quite a little then click on it again and it gets ever larger.

If you need additional photos from ground let me know and I can send to you (buildings, FBO and other buildings.

Thanks
 
I believe this work deserves a stickie!:applause:

It certainly does. I took my laptop out to the airport the other day to show the guys Dimus' project. The manager asked me why did I want him to look at a photo of the terminal building. He couldn't believe it when I told him that what he was looking at was not a photo of the actual building but, a photo of a computer model of the terminal built for FSX. :icon_lol:

Since I do most of my FSX flying out of Tifton, this project really adds tremendously to the "realism."

Thanks Dimus for sharing your talents.:medals::guinness:

Based on the number of downloads of Dimus' Tifton KTMA scenery project, the virtual skies around my home airport are going to get crowded soon.
Just watch out for that fellow who thinks he's a fighter pilot flying around in an Ercoupe with a camoflauge paint scheme...:icon_lol:

Glad you like it. As I said to rdaniell, I really had fun making it.

I noticed some flickering on the threshold of rwy 15 as well as a few runway starts that were off-center. This patch adds a flatten that fixes the flickering. I will upload a new updated complete version shortly.

Dear Dimus

What a Masterpiece

:jump: Congratulations !!! Sincerly


Once you ever get bored there would be 1 or 2 ideas

1.)Glendale 30's

View attachment 74082

2.)United Air Terminal same Period

View attachment 74083

I would be prepared to help in research and AFCAD

These are indeed tempting. Unfortunately, no time for development fun will be available to me for quite some time, and when there is, I will concentrate on a couple of fields around Athens that I fly to in real life and always wished to have in FSX.

Thank you for the kind words.
