January 27, 201610 yr Hi all! Don't know if there are any Florida simmers, here, but I wanted to point out the release of my Peter O Knight scenery for FSX. This is my home airport (where I did my flight training IRL), and also one that has seemed to been overlooked in the flight sim world. All building are custom models, and photo scenery for the airport has been included (including night scenery). Available now in Avsim's library... Enjoy, Jeff
January 27, 201610 yr Nice work Jeff, It'll be a great excuse to fly in that area. What a great airport to depict! \Robert Hamlich/
January 27, 201610 yr Author Thanks! This project was a real labor of love for me... I started it back in December 2012 (right when I began flying lessons), put it aside for couple of years, and finally got around to finishing it up in these last couple of months. I'm actually surprised there haven't been any renditions of this airport to date (not even by Art Poole, who has done numerous airports around FL) , but I suppose that's a good thing, since otherwise I may have never attempted this project to begin with. As as aside, here's a circuit of TPF I did a couple of years ago (and uploaded by my instructor to youtube). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNRBJpU9S9g - Jeff
January 27, 201610 yr Great airport, I will have to check this out! Thanks for putting it together. Back when I was dating my now wife, who lived in Tampa at the time, I would fly my PA-22 down there from NC for the weekend. Super nice folks and sights. Beware the cranes when on short final ha and watch your airspace. Allen, flight sim lover and AA-5 Traveler owner
January 27, 201610 yr This is awesome! I did my PPL and IFR with the fine folks at Atlas Aviation located at KTPF, while I was assigned to nearby MacDill AFB. I've since moved to the Omaha area for another assignment, and KTPF was/is the only thing I dearly missed, what a great little airport! Thanks for putting this together! It looks great! Is it P3Dv3 compatible? -Jason Peters, MSgt, USAF Ret.Charter Pilot (SIC). Citation II, V, Ultra, & Excel Comm-ASEL, AMEL, IFR, & Flt Engineer-Turbojet
January 28, 201610 yr Author Jason, I don't have P3D so I don't know if it's compatible or not. However, since it's a relatively simple airport that was developed using fairly ubiquitous scenery design tools (GMax, ModelConverterX, SBuilderX, ADE, etc.), I don't see why there should be any problems using it in P3D. Hornit: I don't have FS9 on my system (and haven't for a long time), so it's unlikely that a dedicated FS9 version will ever be made. However, if loading an FSX scenery into FS9 doesn't work (I've only loaded FS9 sceneries into FSX, and not vice versa), you may want to take a look at using ModelConverterX and Airport Design Editor (both freeware utilities - links below) to help make it compatible. ModelConverterX should allow you to convert FSX .bgl files into FS9 .bgl files (and all the buildings in this scenery are individual .bgl files). If that's not enough, you may need ADE to compilie the airport it with the converted .bgl files. As far as the photoscenery is concerned, I have no idea how it will show (if at all) in FS9.

January 28, 201610 yr I thought I knew this airport from somewhere... LOL AimHigh, on 28 Jan 2016 - 03:10 AM, said: Can't wait to try landing a C-17 on there! Nice work on the development! Regards, Vital Vanbeginne

January 28, 201610 yr Superb !! Looking forward to trying this - might motivate me to finish my own projects... Regards, Scort
