Welcome to Millington Regional Jetport, A larger airport from the typical airports I do, but still a good location, lots of sights to see, and fairly flat ground. Located in Tennessee. Package includes Custom objects, default objects, and photo realistic ground textures.

I asked Tom if he would do this airport and he completed it only two days after I asked him. Now this is a BIG improvement over the stock KNQA as this one is a lot more detailed.
There is only one issue in that there isn't a rotating beacon light on the control tower. I mentioned the lack of this and he said "To change the tower wouldn't be hard but there's no other tower that looks like the one at the real airport and I'm fairly sure all FSX default towers have that beacon. If you come across a more realistic looking tower as a scenery file, I'd be more than willing to replace it for you!" I sent him pictures of the real deal and am waiting to see if he can make the tower with a beacon. Here are some sample pics of his work:

wow.....what memories of that tower. I wwent to my AFUN "P" school and first A school at Millinton. Spent many off hours sitting at the tower watching the airtraffic come through. I believe if I'm not mistaken....where the FBO is....was a big old hanger filled with jets for school students to work on.
 
Woot! Us NATTC rats(AVA, AFTA) have wanted Millington for a while. Thanks for the HU! ...Don

Don,

The tower doesn't have any beacon on it. I have tried to contact the author and sent him pictures of the real tower with beacon on it but I get no response. Here is his
contact info Tom Neubauer email: tneubauer12@yahoo.com ; maybe if enough of us old NATTC Millington people contact him and ask him if he could add a rotating white/green beacon on it
he just might. He told me "To change the tower wouldn't be hard but there's no other tower that looks like the one at the real airport and I'm fairly sure all FSX default towers have that beacon"

If I had the gift to make the edit I would. But at least it looks a lot more accurate then the stock one. The old AIMD hanger is depicted correctly and just before
Brac 93, I worked at AIMD hanger as a sandcrab(beach-creepie) ; An A-4 hanger built for VMA-124/MAG 42 is also depicted ; that hanger now has private A/C and the signage on the outside top reads TULSAIR Beechcraft. Also, SWIFT truck training academy is located there, you will see some semi's near the east end of the runway.

You are spot on about the old white wooden building located next to the FBO building. That was torn down. If you remember on the South Side of the Base where the majority
of the schools were was S-1 (South 1) which was the NAS Admin building. The old building was torn down (was big attempt to save it for history) but the flag pole was removed and
relocated in front of the FBO office at the KNQA Regional airport.

Does this look anything like what you're looking for regarding the FBO? If it does, let me know via p.m. with your e-mail address. I'll convert it into a usable bgl. and send it to you.

Somehow I knew you would step in on this Randy!:icon_lol:

The tower also looks interesting. If it was last year I would be tempted to give it a go.

Thank you for the compliment Dimus. Keep mum :sleep:but, I'm also working on the tower....:kilroy:

It's fun to see some local sights being developed. I was just at KMEM this morning, and shocked at how much development there's been since I last lived here.
 
Here's a screen shot of the tower in FSX. Note: There is NO rotating beacon. I don't know how to model that using SketchUp. The beacon can be added, I think, using ADEX by positioning it correctly and at the right elevation.

I tend to be nostalgic when it comes to Millington. I'd want to "reconstruct" the old hangar where I trained to work on A-4s..... NC
 
OK guys, I've sent the two scenery object files to FSX68 but, have only just now realized that he did not do the original scenery modification. So here's what I'm offerring to do for all you ole "Navy Guys." if one of you'll with scenery making talents will send him your e-mail address, he can send you the objects to use anyway you would like. I neither need nor want any credit for what I've done. I'm just happy to be of some help.

I just attached your files and sent them to the author and explained what those files are and that you did not seek credit. I am hoping he will respond favorably.

Well, that sounds like a plan. Let's wait and see what he does. My offer to share the two scenery objects with anyone here at the Outhouse who wants to have a go at a complete re-modification of the airport is still open as another option if necessary.

So far, no response from Tom Neubauer. I don't think he is a SOH member either. He does give credit to a few other people in his readme file, and some of them sound familiar.
When I first sent Tom a request to do KNQA his response was almost immediate. Subsequent to his release, I mentioned the beacon issue and he responded in an almost
timely fashion . I get the feeling that perhaps ( I could be wrong here) that I am being snubbed here. I don't want to bug him any more over this as he does turn out quite
a few other airport sceneries and maybe is wrapped up in moving on with development of other sceneries. It would be nice if some one here at SOH could re-mod the tower/beacon
and the FBO building with what you have made.

I think I may know why he is hesitant to do make any changes to his scenery. It didn't look like to me that he uses ADEX for his scenery modification. Perhaps what he's using will not allow for the placement of a rotating beacon on top of another object like you can do with ADEX. In anticipation of something like this happening with your request to him, I've been looking at some Google Earth shots of the airport. In order to do it up fairly realistic would require that I model the big hanger. I can do that but, not until after the holiday weekend. I have several other objects at my disposal to also use. If I do the whole mod, then I won't need his permission nor need to give him any credit as I'll be starting from the default AFCAD.
