Located in Pima Country, South of Tucson city centre is the is the second busiest airport in Arizona, after Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. It is a civil-military airport and hosts Morris Air National Guard Base, with 162nd wing 
Enjoy flying into Tucson International, literally surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery on Earth! Rincon Mountain District lies just to the East, the  Santa Catalina Mountains to the North. Saguaro National and Tucson Mountain Parks  to the West and Coronado National Forest with Mt. Wrightson  and Apache Peak to the South. There is no shortage of scenery to enjoy, and endless excuses to fly in!
This product includes the entire airport recreated in detail with Prepar3D native PBR textures. SXAD's KTUS has been updated to the new layout as of November 2023, and includes the removal of runway 29L/11R, the new Charlie Taxiway and the renaming of 29R/11L to 30/12 and 21/3 to 22/4.

Very nice, another airport for P3D. But something is not clear for me. At the simmarket product page in the description I read: "Welcome to SXAD's rendition of Tucson International Airport for Prepar3D v5 and v6!"

But in the requirements at the same page I read: "Prepar3D v5.3, Prepar3d 4.5"

So what is it? Is there an installer for v6 or not?

Nice!  Been wanting to pick up some SXAD airports.  

I have all of their P3D v5 scenery. I like them, they are good airports.

I also have lots of their sceneries and got this too. I' am a bit disappointed from the afcad. It's unprecise and lacks all military parkings. So if you have MAIW traffic it will park on the gates. F-16 at the passenger terminals. Really great SXAD.

They made the shelters and placed a static F-22 i guess, under a shelter halfway into the colums. Really bad work. Same for KDMA which comes with this package. Only about 3-4 parkings for the whole base. Remembers me on the last civil/military combination I got from them. Will give me a lot of work. KTUS is already at a good state. No will take on KDMA.

There is a nice freeware version in the AVSIM library for P3D V5  it includes accurate A-10 Warthog storage hangars along with the aircraft maintenance and boneyard facility,  get it here.

Hi Dan,

Sorry you're not happy with the airport. I can add some military parking. I didn't know there was MAIW traffic that would park them at the gates, I'm sure for 99% of people that isn't an issue.

KDMA is only included as photo scenery and some terrain smoothing, as is the whole of Tucson and surrounding hills: KTUS is the product, the Photo scenery and autogen is an added bonus and optional. 

The same goes for KBIF was just a visual bonus, I added the custom buildings (many hours of work) but it didn't translate to any sales.

I think this is one of our best products for P3D, and I can fix the F22 and add some military gates.

P3Dv4 is being supported also, there were issues with the change from the v5 to v4 files. I'm about to compile the installers again.


Kind regards,

Shaun.

Hi Shaun

I'm happy you did this airport and the overall look is great, but under the hood, the afcad is just added without any love. AI aircraft make the scenery look good and if they park outside the parking or taxi over the taxiway lamps, it breaks the illusion. I also never saw F-16 going at the gates but it's a military base and the sim-traffic seeks it's possibilities. While writing this I also saw, there are lots of GA parkings not realized in the afcad.

The picture is a good example of the quality of SXADs KTUS. The F22 is just placed with any check for the scenery around. 

I added about 50 parkings for combat aircraft. And this is how it looks now.

As for KDMA i understand you wanted not to create a double package, becoming at least twice as expensive to develop. I have a scenery from MAIW for this unfortunately not matching perfectly the sat scenery but I leave it that way. It has 173 parkings. So you may want to add a few more to the 3 inside your afcad.

Kind regards

Dan
