UK2000 Scenery Releases Indianapolis Executive Airport for MSFS
UK2000 Scenery has recently released their rendition of the Indianapolis Executive Airport (KTYQ) for Microsoft Flight Simulator, located in Zionsville, Indiana, serving the city of Indianapolis with a yearly average of 41,810 aircraft operations as of 2019.
The airport started its life as Terry Airport in 1957 by the hands of Campbell Aviation. It originally had two runways (a 1018x18m bituminous runway and a 914x61m turf runway), ten hangars, and an administration building. They eventually added 26 more hangars within a couple of years.
It was sold to a new company in 1965, which made a couple of upgrades to the airport thirteen later: the main runway got lengthened and widened to 1570x23, along with the addition of high-intensity runway lighting, visual approach slope indicators, a non-directional beacon, and an instrument landing system.
After getting classified as a reliever airport to Indianapolis International Airport in the 1980s, they got funding from the government to further improve the infrastructure, adding underdrains, extra land for approach protection, and a new runway lengthening to the current 1,700 meters.
The scenery features a high-detail rendition of the airport, with a meticulous reproduction of all the buildings, realistic ground markings, high-resolution ground imagery, custom night effects, high-detail ground service equipment, performance-friendly optimization, complete set of signs, fencing, vegetation, PBR materials, static aircraft (optional), authentic internal details and parallax internals.
It’s available on SimMarket for roughly $9.87, requiring at least 47.58 MB of free hard disk space to install.
