This is the last update of KDTW for MSFS2020.
I will not release an update for MSFS2024 until the Simulator and SDK is stable
Because of the complexity of this airport I decided to release a developer version of the Detroit Metro Wayne Airport meaning is fully functional but the interior terminals are not 100% complete!

KDTW-Detroit Metro Wayne Dev 2.5+ require Animated Human 3D Models Library by superspud
Having an external library for the animated characters will give you the ability to install it or not based on your system. If your system is powerfull, i do recommend installing the library. Thank you "superspud" for this amazing library.
KDTW supports BATC and FSHud ATC
While you guys enjoy flying in and out of DTW I will continue working on completing the airport. This process will take me probably another half of year or more. All the flying aspects like Runways, Taxiways, Taxi signs, Gates and so on are updated according to Navigraph charts. The airport was designed to work with default ATC and online like Vatsim or Pilotedge or any other online services you prefer.
ILS frequencies were updated and aligned for all runways supporting the instrument landing system. Textures were applied to the exterior terminals but it is an in work progress meaning some of the textures might not look perfect.
The tunnel under the runway 09L-27R and taxiway`s V and F is in work progress as well, you might see the ground mesh snapping or being off, depending on your system, but for now that's the best I could do. Please understand that SDK offered by Asobo/ MFS has limitations, so I had to improvise a little.
The airport ground traffic should follow their path but again it might be off in some cases.
I did assign airliners to specific gates but it doesn't work all the time. Even the AIG traffic is ignoring the gates I assigned. I will continue testing and working on this matter, for the time being it will stay the way it is.
**Please let me know if you run into an error I made regarding taxiways, taxi sings, ils being way too off or any other flying aspects of this airport.**
**Anything related to the terminal or parking or any none flying aspects, please be patient, it is still in working progress.**
Special thanks to "EmergencyButter" , "pb321" , "flynn7788978" and "Alex" for taking their time to test the performance of the airport. Also thanks to all users providing me with pictures and helping me create this scenery.
**FOR OTHER DEVELOPERS**If you are a developer interested on having your input or helping, please contact me via private message. Please include other projects you worked or currently working on.
**Installation**Delete the older version of KDTW from your community folder. Extract the latest KDTW-Detroit Metro Wayne-Developer x.x to your community folder.
Recommendation:
