Aqaba OJAQ v1.0
To avoid any misunderstandings:
This is not a real life remake of the airport, it’s just an improvement of sad, deserted and dark AI airports. Per default I’m flattening the runway where the mesh is doing crazy things, I’m adding lights, missing hangars and a tower similar to the real buildings and locations, maybe car parks if these can be identified in sat images.
The intention is to provide a flyable & fps friendly airport for people with lower hardware spec, to give them some immersion. So please don’t complain, that it’s not the real thing.
Aqaba OJAQ ❲also known as King Hussein Int’l Airport (IATA: AQJ, ICAO: OJAQ)❳ (Arabic: مطارالملك الحسين الدولي) is an airport located in the vicinity of Industrial City (Aqaba International Industrial Estate – مدينة العقبة الصناعية الدولية), northern suburb of Aqaba in Jordan.
The location of Aqaba is unusual, for within a 15 miles (24 km) radius there are three other countries, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Israel. The airport has a single runway equipped with a category 1 instrument landing system (ILS). Thanks to its normally excellent weather conditions, the airport is rarely closed, though strong southerly winds bring sandstorms across the Red Sea from Egypt.
This AI airport was so poor, I’ve removed all buildings and added similar ones at the real locations +
lights for the airport buildings, apron, facility buildings, car parks
a generic tower (position according to sat images)
VOR AQB south of the airport
Should work with the standard edition, only default assets in use, but make sure you have all world updates installed, just in case …
