Aguenar DAAT (Airport & Lights Enhancement) v1.0
Aguenar DAAT Hadj Bey Akhamok Airport (French: Aéroport de Tamanrasset / Aguenar – Hadj Bey Akhamok) (IATA: TMR, ICAO: DAAT), also known as Aguenar Airport or Tamanrasset Airport, is an airport serving Tamanrasset, a city in the Tamanrasset Province of southern Algeria. It is located 3.6 nautical miles (4.1 mi; 6.7 km) northwest of the city.
The Algerian Air Force is the primary military user of the airport with several units maintaining a presence at the field. In the mid-2000s it was extensively upgraded to serve additionally as a military base, with 10 hardened aircraft shelters, aprons, personnel accommodation and other facilities. The most potent military aircraft based at Tamanrasset are the Sukhoi Su-30MK multi-role fighter aircraft operated by the 123rd Air Defense Squadron which provide fighter coverage for much of southern Algeria from the base. A reconnaissance unit equipped with Beechcraft 1900HISAR and 350ER aircraft specially equipped with surveillance equipment operates from the base along with helicopter detachments operating Mil Mi-171Sh, Mi-24 Mk.III and Mi-26T2 helicopters to support the ground forces in the region.
The airport was an alternative landing site for NASA’s Space Shuttle,[citation needed] and has been used for American military operations.[10]
What MSFS is presenting here is a real mess, therefore I’ve decided to delete all the buildings and rework the airport according to sat images. As everything was done with default asset it is not a real showcase, but I think it is much better than before.
I’ve added
lights for the airport building, apron, all facility buildings and some residential areas in the vicinity
a small fuel tank facility
a generic tower (position according to sat images)
the VOR TMS
facility cars
Should work with the standard edition, only default assets in use, but make sure you have all world updates installed, just in case …
If you find any errors, let me know and send a screenshot. Otherwise – take it as it is, hope it works for you too, have fun!
