I initially flew into this airport from TUPJ Provinciales in the Caribbean with interCaribbean flight JY631. I have created a virtual airline for interCaribbean at FShub. I also have a webpage for the virtual airline created with permission from interCaribbean to use their name. So far our schedule has 24 flights to choose from but there will be a lot more around the Caribbean flying the ATR42, ATR72, ERJ145, CRJ700 and the DHC6 Twin Otter. Anyway, I used a free download for both airports and have since updated them both to 2025 using Google Earth and online airport charts. TAPA in 2023 built a new terminal and can accomodate 737's and Airbus 320s and have closed down the old terminal which is what I flew into unbeknownst to me. I was able to use Photoshop to change all the colors of the old terminal so it looks like it does now kinda dilapidated. Here is a screen shot from the ramp of both the new (on the right with 4 gates) and the old (on the left-no gates) It was quite challenging to do the new terminal with all the geometric shapes. I used textures instead of objects to create it so it's no MSFS work of art but I think it will give an idea of the airport when you fly into or out of it. It's also not a "frame hog" at all.
